This is the opinion of the village officials who have compiled what is sup posed to be a complete list of the miss ing. The death list was increased early today by the death of Glen Barber 10 years of age, who succumbed to injuries sustained when he leaped from the second story of the doomed building while his schoolmates rushed headlong into the death-dealing flames in the lower hall way. s-'t
