A helicopter failed to reach the downed plane Friday but officials said attempts to land a party near the wreckage would continue. A ground party, headed to the wreckage from the Oregon side. was sighted from the air about five miles from the goal late Fri day. The plane has been identified as that of John Miller, 38, Vale, Ore., businessman who ' disappeared Monday on a flight to his home town from Reno. The craft struck a snow-covered mountain near the ghost town of Silver City. Clouds hid the peak Friday and prevented aerial observation to determine the shortest route to the wreckage.

(AP) - For eight days George Harrington and Ilarley Crowell sat in ,a 10-foot lubber dinghy, thinking and fish ing. They didn't catch any fish. They only floated helpless in the open Atlantic. "We are thankful to be here,'' the two said Friday night in an interview aboard the Netherlands aircraft carrier Karel Doorman. The Dutch ship, en route here for maneuvers with the U.S. Navy, found the shipwrecked pair east of Bermuda. During the eight days adrift, Harrington and Crowell lived off a can of tuna fish and a small bottle of grape juice each day. "We had enough rations to last us about a month," Harrington said. They started from New York City Jan. 9 in Harrington's 47-foot sloop Atair. "I wanted to go down to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to look them over because my wife Gina and I have been planning to settle in that area," Harrington explained. "She was gonng to fly down- to San Juan and meet us." It was a fairly good trio until they hit rough weather on Jan. 19 about 465 miles east of Bermuda. In winds up to 65 miles an hour, the sloop began to leak and sink. "We had a radio on the sloop but it was out of order when we needed it," Harrington said. He and Crowell gathered up a few possessions and rations and scampered into the 10-foot rubber dinghy. Harrington said after he is rest ed he plans to head back for Pu erto Rico and the Virgin Islands . . . and I may start out by boat again, too." Crowell said it was his first "and I hope my last" experience o( being in trouble adoat.

Cantrall, president, Klamath County United Fund, in speaking to the group about what Camp Fire Girls can do for the United Fund said, "My answer is help Unite United Fund. I use the 'unite' in the sense that it has to be held closely together. I do not mean we are not united, but with the money-raising problem of the past several years, we are go ing to have to work more closely and more cooperatively with each other if we are going to continue our United fund-raising plan." In speaking about interdepend ency of agencies," he went on to say. As president of the United Fund, I can see that 'interdepend ency' illustrates our need to be dependent on others in the com munity, which is a reason why we have formed the United Fund. In our campaign for 1959 I believe each agency realized how inter dependent they were on all United Fund agencies for each other s mere existence." Cantrall stated that definite recommendations re- arding year-round promotion and changes in mechanics of the divi sion setup will be made to the new officers at the United Fund an nual meeting, February 4. To summarize the work of the council during 1958, several oral reports were given by committee chairmen and printed annual re port booklets were distributed to all present. Some of the highlights of reports showed that the mem bership again reached a highest ever figure; that 289 girls attended the resident camp at Lake of the Woods; 103 the day camp at Moore Park. It was pointed out that, since the resident camp is now being used over-capacity, the coun cil must lake steps to increase fa cilities at the campsite in order to serve the increasing girl mem bership. The report of the training com mittee showed that 185 volunteer leaders attended training courses during the year and that 26 vol unteer instructors worked with staff members in providing the training. The council operated on a budg et of $22,166, which was derived mainly from the United Fund, the annual candy sale and resident and day camping fees. .!... ui rstinM MATHER IS AT. accommodations it's the THREE SWIMMING POOLS (Ont for Childran) TWO ACRI RECREATION AREA THE KLAMATH COUNCIL of Cemp Fire Sirli will be guided thii year by thil group of officers elected and Installed during the annual meeting on January 27 in the First Methodist Church.
