Shaky light in contrast and imagery Government aid is sought to halt the menace of a blaze that has continued for fifty years along a coal vein near the community. A scenic view of a pretty little town as you look up at the hills you see smoke bellowing out of the earth. The coal mines beneath the earth caught on fire and it's been burning for half a century.
