Nine-Year-Old Campfire
Candy Seller Missing
In E. Washington City
SPOKANE, Wash., UP! — The
search for a missing nine-year-old
Campfire Girl went into its fourth
day today with hardly a trace to
go on and a vow by a policeman
inspector that “we’ll keep search
ing for her until we find out, one
way or the other.”
Police checked every phone
call — there have been hundreds
— offering a lead to the disap
pearance of Candice Elaine Rog
ers. The little blue-eyed girl was
last seen Friday after school when
she set out to sell candy mints to
raise money for her Campfire
troop.
“We’ve checked everything,
nothing tangible. It doesn’t seem
possible the child could have wan
dered to the river area by her
self, especially toward evening,”
said Inspector Robert B. Piper.
The inspector referred to an
area along the Spokane River
where six boxes of mints were
found.
Ground parties dragged the ri
ver Sunday after an exhaustive
search in the area around the
girl’s home failed to turn up
anything.
The river claimed the lives of
three airmen who took part in
the search Saturday, when their
helicopter apparently tangled in
some power lines while making a
low swoop of the area.

Kenai Pioneers
Beset Enroute By
Bitter Weather
CHICAGO, UP) — A band of
homesteaders traveling in auto
mobiles and trucks headed out of
the Chicago area Saturday on the
third day of their long trek to
Alaska.
The 37 men, women and chil
dren rolled northwest on the Illi
nois toll road toward the Wiscon
sin state line after spending the
night at a campground near sub
urban Hinsdale.
The little group of modern pion
eers, all from Michigan, left De
troit Thursday morning on the
4,300-mile trek to the newest
U. S. state. Bitter weather and
road troubles beset the party from
the start.
“We are two days out of De
troit, and we’re already two days
late,” said Marino Sik, 32, a mem
ber of the party.
The former oil company em
ploye is taking his wife and 8
month-old daughter to homestead
land in Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula.
He said he is hopeful the group
will reach its destination in three
or four weeks.
The 13 men, 10 women and 14
children are traveling in 14 ve
hicles, most of them pulling house
trailers.
High winds, blurred with snow,
and slick roads cut the caravan’s
speed to about 25 m.p.h. The poor
visibility also led to the group
making wrong turns off the com
plicated cloverleafs of express
highways.
HOW TO MAKE A MILLION —
'WRONG' TYPE OF WORRY
LOS ANGELES, UP! — If you’re
not worried in times like these,
you’re neurotic, says Dr. Rollo
May, a New York psychologist.
Here to lecture at the Universi
ty of California at Los Angeles,
Dr. May said the goal of psycholo
gy is to help people to be anxious
about the right things.
He listed as justified anxieties
of the age problems such as
whether man will survive, how he
can learn to know himself and
how he can learn to love.
Among wrong things to worry
about, Dr. May listed how to make
a million dollars.
