Franklin St., Shavertown, is a mine ventilation specialist who is working with a group of men to improve ventilation in an- thracite coal mines under the guidance of the U.S. Bureau of Mines.

Jack Good is president of the Association. It Pays to Advertise for goblin’good specials ventilation systems, thereby insuring coripliance with the Federal Coa Mine Health and Safety Act ot 1969. Since impre ed ventilation is the number ne weapon to improve heal n and reduce accidental deaia in coal mines, the Bureau is s.rictly enforcing the ventilation requirements of the 1969 Act, which has resulted in the lowering of respirable dust to levels that virtually eliminate the threat of black lung to new miners, and has significantly reduced = the number of ignitions and un- derground explosions. The basic objective of mine ventilation is‘ to provide an adequate supply of un- contaminated air to the working areas. The volume and velocity of the current of air must be sufficient to dilute, render harmless, and carry away flammable, explosive, noxious, ON MEMORIAL (next to Forty-Fort and harmful gases, dust, smoke, and explosive fumes. In conducting their surveys, the specialists chk the records of daily fan intpections. Air quantities are measured at each underground working section, and tests for noxious gas are made. Sealed-off areas and stoppings are monitored throughout the underground workings to insure that dangerous methane is not allowed into the air. If any in- consistency exists in any phase of the ventilation system, the mine is shut down until the air requirements are restored. Constant vigilance by the Bureau of Mines, union: of- ficials, State mine Se and coal operators ha#reduced the ignitions in mines from 31 in 1971 to 10 in 1972. The goal of the Bureau is to eliminate any possible chance for a fire to occur underground. HWY DALLAS Ice Cream Jord AFTS m.
