Local mortician realizes dream of expanded ambulance garage
Mercer Funeral Home completes a well lighted brick garage behind the mortuary with five stalls and folding doors, enabling rapid ambulance response. The new facility, built on a strong foundation in wet conditions with steel reinforcements, supports future expansion. Earlier ambulance calls, like the Bluefield case, were answered in eight minutes from the call. In a separate note, a dog named Tinker allegedly saved Viola Clements from an infuriated cow, prompting a fractured jaw diagnosis.

Government specifications require federal standards and safety concerns favor sublimed white lead substitutes. The article notes sublimed white lead replacements are whiter, cleaner, and reduce lead poisoning risk compared with old lead-based paints.

The model shows a gabled home with a forty inch fan powering airflow from attic to first and second floors, cooling rooms even when outdoor temperatures soar. The Appalachian Electric Power Company promotes the system as inexpensive summer relief and states it can be installed with professional help, though notes it only suits summer use.
