In France, for example, winter wheat is well above the ground beyond the danger of late frost. In England and Germany the fields are green. In some places crehards are in bloom. Now comes definite word of equal recovery in coal production, with shortages nearing an end.

In both an unexpected and heavy cch- itor to the recovery has been the mild winter. It is mated that lessened domestic heat raquirements - | have saved Eurcpe 10,000,000 tons of coal. This means | that by the end of July we ‘can begin to cut down ocur own export of coal, saving Europe an cxhausting drainage of hard-to-get dollars. Under the European | Recovery Plan we had allocated 13,500,000 tons of hard coal to the sixteen nations represented in the Marshall Plan. The Coal Committee of the Economic Commission now says not more than 9,000,000 ions of this will be needed at expected industrial levels and urges that American imports be restricted to that amount France and Poland are already producing beyond their pre-war peaks. England, though it has not yet reached pre-war levels, now has a 12,000,000-ton stock pile ane is once more exporting on a considerable and nding scale.

More than a few of the visitors have been coal industry people on a ‘“busman’s holiday.” Visitors can drive their automo- Liles through the mine or walk through with a guide. Exhibits in- side show every step in modern coal production The show mine is maintained by the Pocahontas Operators Associa- ticn, which owes its existence to the man who first decided this was By The 5 a good place to dig coal. Opened in 1883, the mine was the first to tap the rich Pocahontas, bi- tuminous field. This field has. pro- duced more than a billion tons of coal in the past 65 years. It spreads over three southern West Virginia counties and one in Virginia. The Association estimate about 5,000 people tour the show mines every month. In its lighted tunnels, they see the Pocahontas No. 3 coal seam which runs to a heighi of as much as 10 feet in some places Equipment in working posiiion shows modern steps in mining. Vis- itors also see how in the sweat-and- muscle days before cutting machines the miner had to lie on his side and with a pick hack a “kerf” to a depth of about six feet into the seam.
