Youthful Pianist In
Concert Here SllYld0Y

Claudette Sorel, an established
concert artist for the last four
years despite the fact that she still
is in her teens, will be presented in
a recital on the Bluffton College
Concert series at 8 p. m. next Mon
day night in Ramseyer chapel on
the college campus.
A gifted performer on the piano
at an early age, Miss Sorel began
presenting recitals before she was
eight years old, and at 13 she won
the New York Little Symphony
Addition.
Mature and gifted" are the ad-
jectives most often used by critics
in describing the piano playing of
the 17-year-old artist. Seldom in
concert history has such strong
musical personality revealed itself at
such an early age.
Miss Sorel was born in Paris of a
Hungarian mother and a French
father and the musical traits COM
monty associated with the two coun-
tries of her parents are said to be
apparent in the artistry of the of
ferings of the youthful concert star.
Gallo mental alertness, taste and
finesse, combined with the verve and
fire characteristic of Hungarians
have enabled Miss Sorel to approach
with equal spontaneity and success
music of widely differing styles.
Brought to America at the age of
eight, Miss Sorel was graduated
from the Juilliard School of Music
when she was only IA, the youngest
graduate in the history of the school.
In the same year she also graduated
as salutatorian of her high school
class.
Miss Sorel has appeared three
times in recital in New York's Town
Hall, with conspicuous success, and
has played with the Rhode Island
Symphony orchestra; the New York
Little Symphony; the New York
Philharmonic; the Reading SYM
phony; the New York Little Or
chestra and the Norfolk Symphony.

THANKSGIVING DAY
FUNERAL FOR five
BURNED TO DEATH
Five of Family Near Jenera to
be Buried in Single
Coffin
Mother and One Son are Only
Survivors of Night Holo-
cauSt

Funeral services will be held on
Thanksgiving day for five members
of the Lloyd Stine family who died
in a fire which destroyed their farm
home near Jenera, Monday night
about 1880 o'clock.
Dead are Lloyd Stine, 81, and his
sons Dean Daniel, Is; Elden Joe,
II; Garry Eugene, 5, and John
Harvey, 3. All We're asleep in bed
Charred remains Of the five vic
TINS burned beyond recognition, will
be buried in a single coffin in Ar
cadia cemetery. Services will be
held in the afternoon at o'clock in
Coldren funeral home, Findlay. Rev.
E. I. Shepherd, pastor of Benton
Ridge E. U. B. charge will officiate.
Mrs. Stine, who was working in
Findlay at the time Of the fire and
a 15-year-old son Richard who es-
capped from the burning house thru
an upstaire window are the only
members of the family surviving.
The house, 12-room frame dwell
ling in Eagle township, Hancock
county, was burned to the ground.
DIR. B. F. Voorhees,, Hancock
county coroner, gave a verdict of
death by carbon monoxide poisoning
from a conflagration.l He said both
Mrs. Stine and her brother, Harvey
Wineland, told him that a large
space heater located in the dining
room had not been operating prop
erly and presumably caused flash
fire. There was no loud explosion,
he said.
Richard, the only one to escape
from the holocaust had returned
home about 10 o'clok from pest
hunt and apparently had not been
asleep more than 10 minutes when
the fire broke out. His practice of
sleeping with the covers over his
head is believed to have saved him
from being overcome with fumes.
1t was not until nearly Tuesday
noon that the last victim of the fire
was found in the smoking debris.
Three were found before daylight
Tuesday morning, the remaining
two being dug from the ruins late
in the forenoon.
