NO FUEL PROBLEM HERE
-- Pottsville, Pa. Elmer Evans, a postal employee, peers at his wife Eva and daughter Betty Jean from an abandoned coal mine under his house on the city's main business street which he uncovered while excavating to extend his cellar.

The 6-foot-high tunnel still had a good vein of coal. The entrance is a few feet away from the furnace (left), but Mr. Evans doesn't fear his house is in danger.
