Official Answers
Fellin's Charge
On Slow Rescue
SHEPPTON, Pa. (UPI)-A state
mining official said today in his
opinion David Fellin helped get
himself into the predicament of
being entombed for 15 days by a
mine cave-in.
State deputy mines chief Gor
don Smith made the statement in
answer to a charge by Fellin
Wednesday that he should have
been rescued in five days.
"The miners in this operation
were removing pillars of coal,"
Smith said. "Fellin showed he
doesn't know all there is to know
about mining by getting himself
in this predicament."
Smith said the miners were not
digging deeply for coal, but were
taking out coal pillars "left all
these years" to support the mine.
Smith made the statement at
the mine site where rescuers
were drilling to reach Louis
Bova, a third miner still trapped
more than 300 feet underground.
There is little hope for Bova's
survival.
Fellin, a co-owner of the mine
who was rescued early Tuesday
along with Henry Throne, said
Wednesday that he "should have
been out by the fifth day." He
said rescuers should have dug
through the crumbled mine shaft,
instead of drilling an escape hole
from the surface.
"It doesn't even deserve com
ment," Smith said of Fellin's re
mark. Smith is a mining engineer who
worked In the mines in this area
during the depression. He said he
did not know how Fellin expected
to make a living from the mine,
which had "been worked on and
off since 1950 after having been
closed since 1929.
H. Beecher Charmbury, state
mines chief, said Fellin's remark
hurt the morale of the rescuers
l.ow digging a shaft to reach
Bova.
"It was bad for the morale of
the men when Fellin made his
statement that he should have
been rescued on the fifth day,"
Charmbury said. s
"The number of volunteers
dropped off sharply. We still have
enough to do the work, but the
number of men on standby basis
has fallen off."
Charmbury said Fellin was not
familiar with the "conditions of
the slope or he wouldn't have said
that. He couldn't be he hasn't
SC6D it. '
Charmbury said a volunteer
probably would descend the Bova
shaft, but that it would not occur
until 6 p.m. EDT Friday "at the
earliest." He said water was dis
covered at the bottom of the
shaft, and called it "a brand new
hazard which makes it tougher.
Workers today , were widening
the 12'A-inch wide shaft to 30
inches to a depth of 35 or 40 feel.
They planned to widen the re
mainder of the shaft to 22 inches, ,
according to Smith. ..
He said they were proceeding
carefully because "this side of the
mine is more dangerous than the
other." Bova was separated from
Fellin and Throne by about 18
feet of debris and rock.
Smith said if a volunteer goes
down, he "will be a man of min;
ing ability, agility and courage.

To Air Kiwanis Proposal
Recreation Program Effort
The Kiwanis and city officials
will discuss the program with
school officials during the first
school board meeting in October.
The Kiwanis Club is proposing the
three get together to expand the
program to offer more activities
to both boys and girls during the
summer months.
Election Suggested
Chief activity this year was the
Kiwanis Pee Wee baseball pro
gram, which was aided by city
funds and a director paid by the
schools. The school board has tak
en the position it should not spend
taxpayer money for non-school ac
tivities without voter approval, and
is suggesting a special election by
the sponsors of the summer recre
ational program (including the
schools) as one means of provid
ing the summer recreation funds.
The board voted to have Supt. of
Dixonville Teacher

tion Mathematics Institute which

of '64 at the university.
The Institute is being held for
high school mathematics teachers
RICHARD L. HARRIS

nine years and is presently eighth
grade math and science teacher
there
Harris is married and the father
of three small boys.
Schools M. C. Deller make a sur
vey of the costs involved in operat
ing a driver education course, pos
sibly during the summer months.
This action was taken after a let
ter from Roseburg Mayor Thomas
Garrison was read in which the
mayor encouraged the schools to
start the program, i
Chairman Dr. V. J. Anderson
was named to represent the school
board on the Stewart Park Master
Site Development Committee being
organized by the cityr to, promote
the eventual full usage of the ateW'
art Park area. , '
To Build Gate '
In other action involving the city
the board voted to build a gate
across the new road from W. Bel
lows St. into the high school (ad'
jacent to the baseball field) which
will close the street to public traf
fic after school hours.
This road, which will be a one
way street leading traffic away
from the high school and onto the
Bellows interchange at the freeway
on W. Harvard Boulevard, is be
ing built to facilitate school bus
traffic which will have to be re
routed because of the new high
school commons building. Construc
tion of the commons building will
also cut down oq some of the park
ing area at uie men school, and
the board Wednesday night approv
ed a plan to clear and pave a tri
angular-shaped parcel of land be
longing to the schools on W. Bel
lows Street across from the base
ball diamond for parking purpos
es.
