NEWSPAPER headlines
~ throughout the Nation
shout. Death toll reaches 11s
in coal mine explosion" and
readers wonder: Why do these
disasters happen? What effort
is being made to prevent them?
To answer these questions.
this reporter and a photogra-
pher visited the Federal Bureau
of Mines experimental coal
mine at Bruceton. near Pitts
burgh. which studies explosions
and ways of preventing them.
Then arrangements were made
to tour a bituminous mine using
up-to-date safety methods.
First, it should be noted that
explosions which make sensa-
tional headlines are not the
chief cause of mine fatalities.
They usually run third. Said
the bureaus director. John j.
Forbes:
The principal cause of coal
mine fatalities is. and has been
for years, falls of roof. In
nearly every year since 1906.
they have caused more fatal
tiles than all other causes
combined"
Accidents which occur during
hauling are the No. 2 killer,
Other fatalities result from
explosives. electricity. shaft
accidents and various under
ground causes. such as men
working with machines in
confined areas. Most deaths
occur by ones and twos and
therefore receive little publicity.
The Bruceton mine is the
only one of its kind. DR.. Irving
Hartmann, chief Of its dust
explosions and experiments
branch, pointed out that tests
there led to the discovery that
bituminous dust is both COM
bustible and explosive. A minor
explosion, by feeding on the coal
dust it kicks into the atmos-
phere. can suddenly become a
mushrooming disaster. he said.
The force of the initial blast
raises more dust in the air.

School Troubles
In Finzel Area
Cause Confusion
RumOrs Keep Students From
Entering Frostburg-29
Now At Cove School

With school troubles at Kitz-
miller having simmered down, the
Garrett County Board of Educa-
ton was presented with a new
problem at the other end of the
county this week, when some stu
dents, scheduled to attend Beall
High school in Frostburg from the
Finzel area, refused to get off the
bus because they wanted to attend
Northern High school at Cove.
This interruption to the program
originally stemmed from rumors
that Finzel students would lose a
years work by going to Beall in
stead of Northern High, would
have to take an entrance eXamina-
ton and pay 5000 in in tuition
fees.
When it was pointed out there
was no truth in the rumors, Off
cials were confident that Monday
morning all of the so junior and
senior high school students at Fin
eel would be enrolled at Northern
High. This feeling was reached
after members of the Board of Ed
ucation conferred with a number
of parents ut their homes in Finzel
Sunday and decided no further at
tempts would be made to transport
children to Beall High in Frost
burg, which is only seven miles
from Finzel.
However, on Monday, despite the
boards action, % Finzel area chill
dren were taken to Beall High
school by their parents. About 20
others boarded the school bus and
were taken to Cove.
Il. Bowen Hardcsty, county SUI
pcrintendent, explained that the
board originally intended sending
the children to Frostburg, but
changed its decision because a large
majority apparently preferred to
attend the new school.
Then Finzel parents appeared
still unrcconciled to the boards
decision. The score yesterday
showed % pupils from Finzel at
tending Northern High. Four
others who actually lived in Allie
gany county, had enrolled at Beall.
Some Finzel parents were re-
ported to be angry because the local
Board had refused to hold a gen
craI meeting at Finzel to discuss
the problem. The Board has agreed
to sit in Oakland next week to hear
from a five-man Finzel committee
which originally sought to send the

Being FORMED FOR CITY SCHOOLS
First Meeting
Planned; Speaker
Will Be Heard

A group of more than 100 per-
sons will make up the initial
membership to the Parent-Teach-
er organization for the London
Public Schools, it was announced
Monday, Feb, 18.
The first meeting of the group
is planned for Friday, Feb. %. A
cordial invitation is extended to
all persons interested in the move
ment and further announcements
will be forthcoming, it was said.
A tentative aim Of the group,
according to a spokesman, is to
assist the school system in every
way possible. 1
The new Parent-Teacher As
sociation does not intend to inter-
fere with our school authorities
but rather we feel that the time
has come for the parents, taxpay-
ers and just plain citizens to take
a greater interest in education in
our local schools. A closer under
standing between p az ent and
teacher should serve to make for
better schools and better educa-
tional practices. We are not form

nor do we feel that the school adj
ministration need be alarmed. Our
sole intention is to work with our
school authorities to the end that
we make our schools better in
every way so stated the members
of the yet-to-be-formed group.
Plans call for a speaker from
the state Parent Teacher ASsocia-
ton to address Londoners in an
open meeting to be held at the
high school auditorium. All teach
ers and parents and interested
persons are welcome and are
urged to attend, it was said.
