While expounding that "this (Boy Scout) council doesn't have any problems that a lot of money wouldn't solve," council officers last night went into the whole problem pf financing the Boy Scout movement, including parti cipation in United Fund drives and special Bov Scout finance campaigns and sustaining mem bership drives. The group last niuht adopted a l.mg-range financial program v-hich envisions a 10-year budge! of $147,l!5 for , administration, camp site developments and coun cil office equipment. The pro pram adopted also includes a res oiutirn which Scout officials said would clarify their position on United Fund or Community Chest drives.

Two Residents Take Oath Of Allegiance iwo i.a uranue residents yes- lerday look the biggest steps of tlieir lives. One of the two, a five- year-lild boy was awed and some what confused by it all but the resident, a mature woman, knew full well the meaning of her action. And, Circuit Judge W. F. Brown- ton, dressed in the garb of his profession, took great pains lo in still in the hearts of the two a deep feeling and appreciation of Ameri can democracy after he had ad ministered the oath of allegiance lo young Roger Beickcl and Mrs. Frank Thomas, who were admitted as new citizens. M. C. Walker, an atlorney for the Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service, for court record, re viewed the history of the two appli cants and the parents of the boy, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Beickcl. The attorney then made a court motion that the two be admitted as citizens and the boy's name bo changed from Clio Yung Chid lb Roger Louis Beickel. Judge Brownton immediately accepted the' motion. providing they would swear alle giance to the United States. In the case of young Beickel the oath was legally waived, but as part of the ceremony the youth raised his right hand, along with Mrs. Thomas and together they denounced their citizenship to tlieir former homelands and swore Pierrat's Applauded At Concert BY BUCK BUCHANAN StaW Writer Simone Pierral, cellist, and Fran coise Pierral, pianist, received a warm welcome and a hearty ova tion last night as they performed . brilliantly, as expected, before a Union county Civic Music audience. The sisters, from Paris, have been awarded the International Grand Prix of the Santa Cecilia Academy in Rome and it was ob yious, as they played, why. Edvard Grieg would have been gratified lo hear Simone, with Franeoise accompanying, perform : his "Sonata Opus 86." The number written by Grieg for his deceased brother, contained all the melodic and sombre moods it is intended lo portray. It depicted all the moods of the sensitive and emo tional Norwegian people. Particularly-.beautiful was the second movement of the sonata, Andante molto Iranquillo which was liauiitingly tranquil, and mov ingly beautiful. Two compositions by Franz Liszt, "Three Caprices Poetiquc," and "Consolation," drew rapt attention from the audience that was some what small, undoubtedly due to the inclement weather. "Three Caprices Poetique" was, as the title implies, rapturous, flow ing and rhythmic and filled with surprising and stunning effects. "Consolation" was just that inspirational, moving and quietly beautiful. The melancholy long ing of the number, which has been compared with such famous works of Wagner such as "Lohengrin" and "Tannhauser," was aplly por trayed, by Francoise qn .the-piano.-! fcspeeiuly well-received was Ma,urlce Ravel's "Pavane For A Dead Infanta," This number, writ ten in memory of a legendary Spanish princess, was probably the best known on Ihe program. Francoise performed this number, on the piano. "Butterfly" and "Sicilienne" by Gabriel Faure were extremely well done. "Butterfly" is a flight of fancy, delicately sketched while "Cicilienne" was based on an old Kalian dance form. The sisters left La Grande this morning for the cast and will re turn to their home in Paris for the Christmas holidays. Chicken Thief Sought State Police today arc looking lor a chicken stealer. Mrs. Albeit Austin of near Is land City reported that between 15 and 20 chickens were stolen last night and that between 35 and 40 had been taken last Fri day. Adding salt to the burglary wound was the fact that last night the chickens were killed on the spot, leaving the mess for Mrs Austin lo clean un. faithfulness to the United States. Mrs. Thomas is a native of Canada, but is now a resident of La Grande and married to an American ciiizen. Young Beickel is a South Korean and was brought lo this country, through Alaska, by Mr. and Mrs. Beickjl June 25, 1956. The Beickel's have another son, David, 11. In a talk to Mrs. Thomus and parents of the boy, Judge Brown .on called on Mr. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Beickel to help our demo cratic way of life. He said "The cause of human freedom needs support.. Human freedom which we now enjoy is being restricted" and this creates a problem of maintaining freedom in America. Judge Brownton" said that not only Mr. and Mrs. Beickel. but all parents have the obligation to leach Ihelr children the value of freedom and that adults should re dedicate "our selves to obedience to laws." "If . law and order is broken down we can't sustain a free America and use peaceful meth ods of - settling disputes," Judge Brownton told the group in this courtroom. ' Mrs. Thomas listened intently, and young Beickel was more attentive than most five-year-olds in court.

(Observer Photos) c- tss J , 0 VvV, r-f Two Survivors Rescued After 14 Hours On Raft CHARLEVOIX. Mich. UPI Two survivors were rescued today from the sunken cargo ship Carl D. Bradley that foundered in a wild storm in the "graveyard of shins" iii the northern reaches of Lake Michigan. But the wind-lashed waters ap parently claimed the lives of 33 other men, including the capluin Roland Bryan. 52. Loudonville. New York. There had been early reports this morning that two more survivors had been sighted on an uninhabited island not far from the sinking, but the report could nit he confirmed by the Coast Guard. I he bodies of nine men were sighted In Ihe area between High and Gull Islands. The freighter lransontario recovered one body west of High Island and three bod ies were picked up bv the Coast Guard cutler Sundew on the north side of Gull Island. Five other bodies were in water too shallow for the Sundew to go in to pick them up, and the lake was too rough for the cutter to launch small bonis. The two men rescued were First Mate Elmer Fleming and Deck Watchman Frank Mayes, both of Kogers City, Mich. They had suc ceeded in gelling onto a life raft when Ihe Carl D., Bradley broke in two during the storm Tuesday night, and were picked up 14 hours later by the Sundew. . They were suffering from ex posure. 'tv'U, Fleming told the Coast Guard that the ship broke up in heavy seas, lie said "there was no ex plosion." The Coast Guard withheld ques tioning either Fleming or Mayes further because the men were suf fering from Ihe shock of exposure to their long ordeal. "They are In poor condition," the Sundew cap tain said. "We've broken in half, we're go ing down,' was the last message flashed by the Bradley, a 615-foot limestone carrier, late Tuesday. It was after dark and the lake was kicking up mountainous waves from violent winds up to (SO miles an hour. The Bradley, a 14.800-ton ship, was returning without cargo from Buffintun, Intl.. southeast of Chi cago, on Luke Michigan, to the limestone harbor at Rogers City. She ran into trouble about 70 miles west of the straits of Mack inac, which separates Michigan's two peninsulas, and near treach erous shoal waters around a clus ter of large and small islands that dot northern Lake Michigan. The German ship Satori was tljie first vessel to reach the area. The Satori searched for hours with the aid of Coast Guard planes that ere sent out to drop magnesium flares to light up the area. No sign of the ship, wreckage or any survivors was found during the night long search. . .' : Four oilier ships, the Coast Guard cutler Sundew, the' budy tender Hollyhock and the freight- irs Robert C. Stanley and Elton Hoyt also arrived to take up tfie search. . . . - , .1 ! But it was not until after day light this morning that -any evl dence was found of the ship sink Intf. - ;' About 8 a.m. the Sundew spotted two men in a liferaft midway be tween Gull and High Islands. These were Fleming and Hayes. All day long today, planes criss crossed the area of the sinking searching for signs of survivors and the ships baffled the heavy waves in their hunt. Winds abated somewhat after daylight, but the waters still were whipped by gusts up lo 40 miles an hour, hampering the searchers. '; The Coast Guard set up an em ergency fueling station for planes at Beaver Island, and utility mo tor launches were sent out from Beaver Island to hunt in the shal lower waters where the big ships could not go. Twenty five of the crew mem bers of the Bradley were from Rogers City and six more were from other northern Michigan communities. Four men, including the captain, were from other states. . ' i; ' At Rogers City, friends and rel atives of crewmen clung through out the night and today to the hope that grew dimmer with each passing hour that those still mis- fitr,' might still be found safe. -;i "It's just .like those mine disas ters, suid one Rogers City man;. "All we can do is wait and pray. -1 ' V,
