The accident occurred about 2.30 a.m. while Nigh was working upon the ledge of ore which proved his death trap. A portion of the ledge gave, way, the man falling with it a distance of about 30 feet and su- staining fatal head injuries. His,body was also crushed by the falling ore, life being extinct when fellow work- ers reached the young man. The late Mr. Nigh had worked for International Nickel Company of Canada Limited for the past eight years, most of this time underground at Frood Mine.

He farmed at home and worked in Northern bosh work be- fore coming to Sudbury in 1934 where be had since resided. He was married in Sudbury in 1937, Mrs. Nigh being the former Helena Nie - mi sto.

Four Red Cross Notes The interest of the people of Sea forth and community in the Jam for Britain Project of the Women's In- stitute and the Red. Cross Society has been exemplified in a most practical way, in that they have giv- en to the fund in cash $652.45. We feel we were started right by units having fund raising events during the winter months for this project and giving to the branch $240.55. The committee in charge reports 6,624 lbs. of jam, jelly and honey sent to headquarters as compared to 3,976 lbs. last year. In a survey of this work we discovered that hi the past three years we have sent to headquarters 14,364 lbs. of jam, jelly and honey. And the gifts to the project have amounted to $1,415.0.2. The generosity of our people has been such that all our obligations in the past three years have been met without transferring any money from the general fund, Thanks kindly to workers and don- ors, The local Red Cross Society is sponsoring a St. Johns Ambulance Course in first-aid, Classes to begin Thursday evening, Oct. 19.
