Coal Mine Blaze In
 Ohio Irnperils Town
Fire Started Fifty Years Ago Has Burned Six Square Mes-S5O, 100000 Worth of Coal Destroyed

New straitsville, o. (UP)~- Spreading relentlessly, the famous underground coal fire which has been burning for more than 60 years in Perry county, is moving irA on this little town.
 Several fortunes have been spent in an effort to stem the fire which now covers six square miles in the Hooking Valleys finest coal field. It is estimated that the fire has destroyed s5O,000,000 worth of coal.
 Operators of mines in the area and citizens in the vicinity have high hopes that the government will make a concentrated effort t0 box up the fire now that survey~ ors and the United States Bureau of Mines are checking the fires extent with a view to determining a feasible plan for stopping the advances into new and valuable coal areas.
 Although n definite plans have been presented, 1t is believed the federal inspectors will request funds firm the Public Works Ads ministration to be used in battling the inferno.
 The fire was started in 1884 when striking miners poured oil on several loaded mine cars, set them afire, and ran them into the mine. In recent years 1t has caused the cave-in of 25 homes in this village by burning under. ground to the foundations. Tho fire recently ate under the high- way between New Straitsville and Shawnee. causing the roadway to sink five feet.
 Citizens are now alarmed as the fire is now only 300 feet from a Catholic Church. Fear has also been expressed for the safety of the high school building until ex. perienced miners lifted the burn- ing coal stratum from the schools foundation.
 Fire gases have damaged forests in the area. Other operating mines have been damaged when the fire suddenly broke through.

Among other things, he revealed
that with the contracts this year,
and the dust storms, the United
States figures to produce, nearly to

consume. The amount is estimated
at 625 100000 bushels. There is.
however, a 120 900, 900 bushel carry

Mr.. Farrell said that one reason
for the necessity of retiring some of
the acreage is the collapse of the
