Headline UNKRA Aids Korean Mining Community

Caption Description Considered uneconomic for development as late as 1957, a valley in the Korean province of Kangwon-do today is the locale of a thriving and growing coal industrial community. Working with assistance from the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), the Kangwon Mine Company, a privately owned enterprise, has helped the community to develop both socially and industrially. The company has built modern homes with running water and electric lights for its workers - advantages unusual in the country areas of Korea.
Taken in the self-service lamp room at the mine, this photo shows workers checking in their own cap lamp and battery at the end of a shift. Supplied by UNKRA, the lamps are re-charged after every use.
