SING
Since singing is so good a thing /> think oil rnen should learn to sing. We have often boon told that when we. are up to the neck in hot water we should tnink of the kettle and sing, and it seems that when South Wales miners are in danger they pass the time in singing. This is what happened to 22 of them at Tylorstown in Glamorgan the other day when something went wrong with the cage machinery at the pithead. They were suspended in a shaft 2000 feet deep, and there remained for an hour. No one could tell them what was the matter, but the miners did not fret. They sang.
