“Thank You, Boys”-Words Pair
Rescued By Men Who Snatched
Them From Bosom Mother Earth
MOOSE RIVER, Nova Scotia,
April 23 (TP) —Physicians hovered
over Di. D. E. Robertson and Char
les A. Scadding today.
The two men lay in an emer
gency hospital only a few feet from
the gold mine pit head from which
they were dragged after a 10-day
rescue battle.
It was just before midnight
(EST) when the miners cracked
through the last hunk of slate that
barred them from the desperate
men in the Nova Scotia mine. Dr.
D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scad

“I PRAYED FOR YOU,
DADDY,” SAYS ETHEL
WAUKESHA. Wis., April 23
(TP) —It’s a happy day for 15-
year-old Ethel Scadding.
Ethel is the daughter of Char
les A. Scadding, one of the two
men released from the Moose
River Gold Mine after rescuers
struggled for ten days to reach
the entombed men. Throughout
the long rescue attempt, Ethel
stayed close to the radio, listen
ing for reports of progress at
the mine. Lack of sleep and
the strain of watiing proved too
much for the girl on one occa
sion. She toppeld over in a
faint.
When the news that her fath
er had been rescued boomed
over the loudspeaker, Ethel ran
to a nearby telegraph office.
Her wire to Moose River said
cnly:
“I prayed for you, daddy.”
in touch with the world they
hadn’t seen in twelve days.
“Thank God, you’ve come!” said
Scadding. He was in remarkably
good shape for all the privation
they had withstood. Nevertheless,
his living companion, the 62-year
old Dr. Robertson, seemed to have
stood up even better. The doctor
joked with miners who carried
him on a stretcher up the tortuous
emergency shaft to the surface.
At the top, Dr. Robertson weakly
waved his arm and grinned.
“Thank you, boys!” he cried. “You
did a wonderful job.” The mud
stalned miners cheered him to an
echo. They put Dr. Robertson in
the waiting ambulance and gave
him emergency treatment. A few
minutes later Scadding was
brought nut of the pit. The scene
in the rude little eamp was a
strange one. There were the glar
ing, windswept electric lights—
the sleepy-eyed miners, doctors,
engineers, newsmen and curious
onlookers. Only thi.. that cast a
pall across the joyful rescue was
the body .that lay in the mine. O .e
man perished before help could
reach him. Herman Magill, who
owned part of the mine with Dr.
Robertson, died four days ago. Ma
gill’s body was found about 20 feet
from where the rescuers discover

The miners didn’t know what to
do with themselves after it was
all over. They stood awkardly by
while the Nova Scotia Minister of
mines, Michael Dwyer, broadcast
resounding praise for their work.
Said Dwyer: “Just a word on be
half of the Nova Scotia miners.
They gathered from everywhere
and fought each other for an op
portunity to risk their lives down
in the mine. As a result of their
efforts these men were saved. It
was a wonderful performance!”
When Dwyer finished talking, a
Salvation Army worker had organ

ing school children the basic princi
ples of citizenship while Miss Fitz
simmons outlined developments in pub

teaching citizenship, and our schools
will indeed become training centers
for high Ideals.
“Heretofore high schools have been
preparing 15 per cent of their students
for college, but now schools are more
and more emphasizing the prepa
rations of the other 85 per cent who
may never go to college to take their
rightful places as citizens.”
Miss Fitzsimmons pointed out the
federal government had spent 65 mil
lion dollars in Georgia, and the “par

magnitude of cost of curative and
preventive measures.”
The convention which opened Tues
