Burglars Hit
Four Corners
Grade School
Burglars with a sweet tooth
broke into the Four Corners Grade
School over the weekend, the
Marion County Sheriff's Office
reported.
Missing from the school were
eight dozen ice cream cups, 24
pounds of raisins and a set of
chimes. The chimes are used to
sound the dinner hour at the
school, deputies said, so may have
been considered necessary by the
thieves' to properly enjoy the re
mainder of their loot.
Method of entry into the school
was unknown but was probably
by an unlocked door or window,
deputies said. Three windows had
small holes broken in them with
rocks but it is not known if there
in any connection between that and;
the break-in or not, they said.
Children are believed the cul
prits. In another wckend incident the
Morningside School was scorched
by a fire set by youths having a
beer party behind the school.
A bonfire set by the. group was
close enough to the building to
scorch the paint iit one area, depu
ties said. Beer bottles were also
scattered around the area by
the partiers.

Move Too Fast
To Get Papers
NEW YORK W Orvllle H.
Goplen, director of the America
House tn Coblenz, Germany, for
the U.S. Information Service, and
his wife, Esther, arrived by ship
Monday with their two adopted
children, John and Richard, 44-year-old
twins.
I he children carried Icelandic
passports. Goplen said the situ
ation arose from the fact that
although he had adopted the
children formally four years ago,
he never had been able to comply
with the provisions of the Immi
gration law which require that
the children reside In the United
States for two years continuously
before becoming citizens.
Goplen said he stayed with the
USIS in Iceland from 1952 to 1954
and served overseas with the
government agency since then. He
said that in May, 1954, he brought
the children into this country for
a visit but at that time had to
enter them as immigrants under
the existing law.
The Goplens live at Portland,
Ore.
