'BEARCREEk MINE
ACCIDENT TAKES
A. PERSHA'S life
Mine Motorman Succumbs
At Billings Hospital
Late Saturday

Injuries received in an accident
at the Smith mine in Bearcreek
last Wednesday evening proved
fatal to Andrew Persia, 29-year-
old resident of Bearcreek who suc-
Ecumbed at the st. Vincent's hospi-
tai in Billings early Saturday
night.
Employed as a motorman at the
Bearcreek workings, Persia was
bringing out a trip of coal when
the accident occurred, it was stat
ed at the mine offices. One of the
cars on the trip contained a chunk
of coal that projected too far to
clear the timbers in the mine en-
try. Unaware of this danger, Per-
sha proceeded to take his trip out.
When Persha's train got into
motion, the coal chunk crashed in
to a heavy timber, knocking it out
of place, and in attempting to es-
cape the falling object by leaving
his motor, Persia was struck by
the machine. j. L. Riley, the nip
per on the train, came to his aid.
Persia was rushed Immediately
to Red Lodge with a crushed pelvis
and severe injuries in the intestinal
tract. Later he was removed to
the Billings hospital.
Mr.. Persia was born at Chest
nut, Mont, May %, 1905, but had
lived the majority of his years at
Bearcreek, coming there at the
age of three months with his par
ents. He attended the schools of
the community and had been en-
ployed in the coal mines there
since early manhood. He entered
the employ of the Smith mine
about nine years ago. He was a
member of the Bearcreek local of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea.
Funeral services were held at
the st. Agnes Catholic church at
Red Lodge at nine o'clock Tues
day morning, the Rev. DR.. Thomas
Starkle, pastor, officiating. Inter
ment was in the Bearcreek ceme-
terry.
Pail bearers were John Kastelitz,
Joe Yanchison, John Salono, Gust
Knuttila, John Bone and Harold
Wadsworth.
The deceased leaves his mother,
Mrs. A. Persia; two brothers, Jo-
seph and Tony Persia, all of the
family home at Bearcreek; and a
sister, Mrs. Frank Quilico, who re-
sides at Billings.

ONLY ONE KING

Christmas is close upon a troubled world "a puzzled world. A world
filled with hate, greed and a lust for power. A world filled with kings die
tators and emperors-whh Hiters, MussoGnis and Stains. All are rulers
in their small way.
Millions go hungry and naked. Millions go jobless. The war dogs strain
at their leashes. The wheels of the munnion works turn a little faster.
Those of the mill and the factory stand idle. Yes truly a troubled world.
Yet all is not hopeless. The world changes. Yet the spirit of Christmas
lives as ever. The world forges its mistakes and troubles of the not far
distant past. Yet it does not forget the birth of a King in a manager long
ago.
That is a good sign. This King did not teach that he who ratified his
sword the loudest, he who made the most noise, was supreme. He did not
teach that hate and greed were to be cultivated, nor that might was right
Instead, He chose to die rather than stoop to the petty powers of the few who
were expressing the many. He was the one King mightier than all others.
His crucifixion should have brought a curse upon the world. Instead the
greatness of His might lives to this day.
His teachings apply today, as surely as they did then and as surely as
they will in all time to come The world in general has been slow to adopt
them; it has made a sorry task O fl. But remove them and all is lost. Let
the world give high praise in 1894 that Christ lived. And let the sword
shaking, power seeking rulers of today look beneath their thrones
They will find them crumblngl

PROGRAM OF
ADULT EDUCATION
State Supervisor of Plan
Scans Possibilities
For County

Education in a wide variety OF
subjects will be offered adults OF
Carbon county if plans now being
formulated materialize and if e.
nough adult residents of the coun-
ty become interested to warrant
the offering of such instruction.
This was the announcement in
Red Lodge Friday of Adolph Rose

the Montana FERA program Of
adult education. With the assist
ance of Miss Elizabeth Duffield
county superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Roseneau spent several days
of the past week in making a sur
vey of the possibilities for launch
ing a program of adult education
in this county.
The results of the survey were
gratifying, he said, and both the
county school superintendent and
himself feel that Carbon county
offers good possibilities for such
a program. However, he pointed
out, a demand for such instruction
must be created before the plan
can get underway.
/ In other Montana counties where
the plan IL operating, Mr.. Rose
neau said, it is meeting with great
success. Although primarily
Launched by the state relief admin
istration to aid Montana's unem-
ployed school teachers, the pro-
gram is extending invaluable bene-
fits to hundreds of adults in the
state who have taken advantage Of
this opportunity for educational
training.
A wide and diversified range OF
subjects is Offered for instruction
under the program to adult stu
dents. These include special class
es for adult i~lliterates, vocational

or Saturday night at Cody, Wyo.,

err, who left Sunday morning to

ming in the national congress at

merits of the route itself as g
wonderful scenic way to the park

FOR A SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON

The holiday season is designed to bring joy and happiness-but it like X
wise brings with it a vast amount of preventable misery, because OF the
accident toll. The gravity of the problem is magnihed by the fact that a
large percentage of holiday accidents involve children Hundreds OF mem
are killed and thousands are needlessy injured every December.
Here are a few rules, issued by the national safety council to help pass
a safe and happy Christmas season:
Don't permit children to play in the streets-the old practice OF htch-
ing seds to automobiles is especially hazardous
Be extremely cautious in the matter OF iceskahng- ice must be at east
four inches thick before it can be trusted to sustain a large group.
Winter brings special automobile hazards, such al ice and snow, poor
visibility and soft highway shoulders. Remember them-and drive accord
ingly
Don't use candles on your Christmas tree-dont put it near a stove
don't us infammabe trimmings-dont permit it to dry out in the house
after Christmas-dont fail to anchor it flrmly-dont use hight bulbs O
greater strength than one FREELY candlepower.
These little hints are simple enough-here's nothing but common sense
behind them, and they will cost nothing, In either time n money. to follow
And they may be the means of saving the lives of loved ones.
