Idaho Plane
Crash Sighted
MURPHY, Idaho (API Land
and air parties have sights set on
reaching the wreckage of a light
plane smashed against the rock
face of an 8,000-foot peak in south
western Idaho.
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

the wreckage.

"I'd come home and my wife
would tell me he ate a stick. Next
time he ate up a chicken. The
third time he ate a pound of ham
burger. "He chewed my clothes, my
shoes and the bed clothes. I put
him in . the attic where it
was warm and he ale my drills.
"My wife, wouldn't let me call
the Humane Society.' Finally I
said 'It's going to be the dog or
me' not my wife, I love her.
"I. got my gun and put five
shells in it. I'm a crack shot."
Judge Gordon S. Lower listened
to the tale and then sentenced
Reidt to 30 days in jail.

Think, Fish'
Routine Gets
A Bit Tiring
MAYPOR'f, Fla. (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.

for five years. She is also active

extension.
Rollin A. 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.
