Item # 696874 ·
THE NEW YORK TIMES, Feb. 20, 1981 

* Centralia, Pennsylvania mine fire disaster
Todd Dombosky nearly swallowed up by the earth
* Falls into 135-degree, CO gas filled pit - saved by cousin


A brief but noteworthy article on page A18 has: "Boy's Mishap Renews Fears O Two-Decade Mine Fire". This event, as indicated, renewed national interest in the ongoing situation in Centralia, PA, and was helpful in reigniting the government's involvement in the sad, ongoing situation in Centralia.
Other news of the day and advertising is found throughout.
Complete in multiple sections, even toning, additional browning and wear at the mid-fold, otherwise good.
