If you knew that Maurice Ruddick sang to keep the hopes of his fellow-miners.alive when they were trapped nearly four kilomne- tres underground in the Springhîll Mining Disaster, you mnay also know that he was named 1958's Canadian Citizen of the Year. Ruddick was one of the few black miners employed at the Springhill mine. He and 173 other- coal miners were just starting their 8 to 1l evening shift in the Cumberland Pit Shaf't Numnber 2 when a simaîl "bumip" occurred. AIthough the earth miay not Seem 1 tovoe benleath our- feet, it is constantly siflting-. No where is this more apparent than in a mine, where pressure builds up in gJaseous pockets causing pressure- releasing shifts called bumps. An hour after the first bump, a second follow,ýed which shook even the surface of the town and created a heart-chilling rumible. At was the Most severe bump in North American mining history. Underground, 73 mincrs were killcd instantly by a massive cave-in. Rescue teams mobîlized ta find sturvivors. Within 24 hours, mare than haif of the surviving miners made il to the, surface. While anxious' family members Eigbt other minera woukt wait twa and a haîf more days in a metre bigh pocket before bcing discavcred. As the men waited, wondcred and prayed, Ruddick sang. Although the 46-year-old father of 12 had suf- fered a broken FilE CRKB PQUNDÂT)IOýN crowded ai the pithead, the fabled team of draegermen specially trained to as sist in such dîsasters found themscîves hampered by commnu- nication breakdowns and ventila- tion problemis. It seemed ta be a miracle whcn, six days later, a voice was heard through a ventilator pipe that stretched over 8,000 meires below the surface and 12 more minera were saved. leg and watched as anc man died gasping for air, he pcrsisted in ralin is com- rades spirits with jokes and tunes. I cried quietly in the darkness, but I mlade sure nabody cisc heard mue. It might have braken the resolve ta live," Ruddick admitted. When the men dividcd their last sandwich and drank the lasi of their water an Nov. 1, tbey also celebrated, the birthday af miner Garnet Clarke with a resounding chorus of "Happy Birthday," led by Ruddick.

To survive, thcy cbcwcd moisi bark from the pit-walI praps,, sucked coal and even drank their own urine. Wlien tbe dracgcrmen finally reached thcm on Nov. 5, one of the rescuers rcported that, be found Ruddick 'Sitting on a stonetack, singîng ai the top of his lungs." "Give me a drink of water and l'Il sing you asang," he said in greeting, and the long ordeal came ta an end. 1Ruddick mnodestly undcrplayed his inspiratianal raie, but otbers felt differently. "If it wasn't for Maurice, thcy'd have al] been dcad," declarcd the mother of anc of the miners. Afier the disasier, the Springhill mine-was closed forever. Canada's "singing miner" experienced the spotligbt briefly in public tributes. His internation- al celebrity was such that be even appeared an the "Ed Sullivan Show," but when he died in 1988, Maurice Ruddick was an aIl-but forgotten hero.
