Huts, and the Y.W.CA.) are making a joint appeal for the necessary funds to carry on the work. Stewart, the machine helper, who had been working in the stope, testiâ€" fied that he and his partner had been talking to West between 10.30 and 11 o‘clock that morning. The three men talked and smoked for a few minutes and West then gave them a hand to put a bar up.for a machine. "A short time later I saw West sampling about twentyâ€"five feet past the danger sign. I didn‘t say anything to him about the chute and I don‘t know whether he saw the sign or not," Stewart related. Stewart had admitted previously that he had taken the warning sign off the loading stick and placed it on the cenâ€" tre of a muck pile in plain view. Fugina, the machine runner, corroâ€" borated the evidence given by St.ew'p.r't. and testified that in his opimpn any~â€" one would have seen the waming sign lying on top of: the muck "L just happened to turn around after he left us and I saw him fall into the collaps= ing muck," Fugina told the inquest. James Mechan was the foreman of the jury, which also included Frank McCharles, Joseph Gauthier, J. J. Caddy and R. E. Wales. From the evidence presented it was apparent that the chute in which West met his death had been "hung up" but this condition did not exist when the night shift completed their work, R. Moore, mine captain testified. Preâ€" vious to the accident on the morning of the eleven cars of muck had been pulled from the chute and the rock in the top level of the stope had hung up. The chute puller, W. Burey told the inquiry that before starting to load cars from the chute he had gone into the stope and erected a warning sign, which he had fastened to a loadâ€" ing stick.

Stewart was also criticised for moving a warnâ€" ing sign that had been fastened to a "leading stick" and placed in the cenâ€" tre of the stope to advise employees that the chute was being "pulled." The verdict further stated that the warning signs in use at the Delnite are too small and of poor colour. A coroners jury here Monday afterâ€" noon returned a verdict of accidental death after probing the circumstances surrounding the fatal accident at Delâ€" nite Gold Mine on‘ February 24 that claimed the life of Gerald T. West, employed there as a sampler.

Perplexing home problems are adâ€" justed with the minimum of delay; fighting men are advised on financial obligations, and they find answers to a hundred and one vexing and anxious personal problems. A particularly outstanding service is that which helps the men to obtain adjustment of dependents‘ allowances and pensions claims. It is fully expectâ€" ed that this phase of personal serâ€" vices work will become even more imâ€" portant in the months that lie ahead. Recreation Huts Everywhere throughout Canada where there are concentrations of troops in training or on active service, are to be found wellâ€"equipped recreation huts where the men may relax in comfortâ€" able, homelike surroundings, enjoy the good fellowship of their comrades, write letter home, .read, play games, listen to radios or join in singâ€"songs, impromptu concerts and, in many cases, purchase light refreshments and other articles at adjoining canteens. Personal Services The rendering of personal services helps to relieve sailors, soldiers and airmen of worries that might otherwise tend to detract from their fighting efâ€" ficiency.
