newspaper clipping How's Wife, Survivor's First Words WEST FRANKFORT, Ill -- (UP) --The first words of George Sanders after his rescue from the explosion-wrecked New-Orient mine were:
"How's my wife?" State police cars, their sirens screaming, raced to the Sanders home to get his wife. Dr. A. F. Barnett, physician for the mine owned by the Chicago, Wilmington & Franklin Coal Co., said Sanders told him: "I just went to sleep and woke up a little while before they found me." "I didn't even know there was an explosion." Sanders was taken into the hospital on a stretcher. His grimy clothes were removed and he was placed in an oxygen tent.
. . . [[underlined in pen: "I'D HUG anybody who'd give me a cigaret," he said and Barnett ordered him removed from the oxygen tent. A reporter lighted a cigaret and gave it to him.
Just then his wife Ethel, 41, arrived at the room. She was shaking with emotion.]]
"Hello, Honey," Sanders said and smiled.
