Mile 12 Ski Cabin
Now Reconditioned
The local office of flic U.S. For
rest Service told the Seaport Re
cord this week that they had just
completed expensive repairs to
the Mile 12 Ski Hut.
j Repairs involved several days
I work and included the installation
of new windows and cook stove,
and can now he the source of con
siderable enjoyment. At present
the cabin is under special use per
mit to the 4-H Club, but is avail
able for all to use.
| It was pointed out by the local
! Forrester that the cabin and other
facilities are public property, and
as such are maintained at public
expense. This means directly that
every time the facility is destroyed
you can feel the tax man's grip
on your pocket book get a little
tighter.

Young Boy Killed
By Exhaust Fumes
I Tragedy snuffed out a young life
this week on Monday when the
body of 14 year old Fred Mershen
in. Jr., was found slumped over in
the suburban of the Faith Chapel
by the Rev. J. Lloyd Dean at about
8:20 that morning.
According to testimony brought
out at a coroner’s hearing, the hoy
had had polio this ummer and was
just beginning to get around again.
Testimony to the Police by Dr.
J. B. Diesher revealed that it was
apparently not uncommon for the
j boy to sleep out. The Welfare
j Department representative stated
that they had been endeavoring to
place the boy in some other home,
as they felt thht he was not being
given proper care in his present
home. He lived with his half sis
ter. His father is dead and his
mother is in a mental institution.
The Volunteer Ambulance Corps
was called out and artificial res
piration was given, but to no avail.
Dr. J. B. Diesher pronohnced him
i dead at 8:50 and estimated that
i he had been dead for about three
hours.
Death was caused, according to
I the Coroners Jury finding, by “as
1 phyxiation due to gross neglect of
1 f-,nili uletii. iut* uu) iuiu .mine mivi
the garage where the vehicle was
parked and had started the motor
in an apparent attempt to keep
warm. The doors to the garage
were closed.
Members of the jury included
William Robbinette. Harry West,
John Disney, Neville Hodson, Gene
Breitenbach and Clarence Bryce.
They made their finding after hear
ing over an hour fo testimony in
connection with the events leading
up In and including the child’s
death.
