Fifteen of the members of this asso-
ciation recently underwent a course
of instruction in Mine Rescue Work
in the use of the Draeger apparatus,
This is for use only where poisonous
gases are encountered in the mines
and the 15 miners who were instruc.
ted may at any time be called up-
on to enter into a mine after an ex.
plosion and rescue their fellowman,
even alt te risk of losing their own
life.
But first aid to the injured in or
out of the mines is anothe¥ considera.
tion, and everybody should become
efficient in aid to the injured. Thig
is very evident to all. Every .one
should enroll now. This Association
meets every Monday at 7:30 p. m.
in the Firemen’s Hall. The associas
tion will consist of active and associ.
ate members. The active members
will form into squads of § and will
later compete in contests. The
