H. B. Charmbury yesterday led a delegation of his department's officials through an abandoned strip mine in East Franklin Township as part of a three-day trip to inspect about 14 "Operation Scar-lift" mine reclamation projects. The project in East Franklin Township involves backfilling about 27 acres to prevent an underground mine fire. "A fire in this area," Dr.

Charmbury said, "would follow the coal seam and move in the direction of Kittanning causing considerable more damage than $30,000 we are spending here now. "Hundreds of Pennsylvani families," Dr. Charmbury said "have been forced 'to vacate their homes from underground fires." "As the noxious fumes from the carbon monoxide gas seek out into the surface Dr. Charmbury said, "they must be abandoned before work can )e begun to put them out." The state is using its own Dulldozers to backfill the strip mine which was last used in the early 1940's, Dr. Charmbury said.

'All we're doing here is some preventative maintenance to Keep an underground fire from Dr. Charmbury said, 'besides this area will make some real fine farm land when we get finished.

"Operation Scarlift" is one the most far reaching and sue cessful ongoing reclamation pro underground fires and unsightly and "Operation Scarlift" is at- acking the problem of stream pollution from mines. A mine water plant, located on tittle Scrubgrass Creek north' o. Butler, was built in late 1966. 'The completely automatic plant injects lime into the stream," Dr.

Charmbury said, 'thereby neutralizing the acids and restoring the stream to an alkaline condition." 'Construction of such plants is not only economically practical, but almost mandatory if Pennsylvania's mine water problems are to be solved," Dr. Charmbury said. Before coming to Killanning Dr. Charmbury visited Moraine State Park in Butler County to inspect the nation's first strip mine reclamation project under the Appalachian Aid program.

West Kittanning fire chief Bernie Bowser estimated the damage at $4,500 and said it was caused by an electrical malfunction, apparently in a circuit for an exterior light.

Mrs. Echnoz was at home with the children at the time of the fire and said she heard crackling noise before the fire was discovered. A neighbor, Robert Nolte, used a garden hose on the roof blaze until firemen arrived at the scene.
