Miners Health Topic At Meeting
Dr. Merie Bundy outlined a six point program to keep coal industry workers healthier longer at the Southern West Virginia Personnel Association meeting at Bluefield Country Club.

Dr. Henry Warden discussed ten years of silicosis screening in miners, noting most patients are aged 40 to 60, with illness often ending work due to mine shutdown or fatigue and shortness of breath.
