' " Filing of Roy Springer's Will Reveals His Death December 2; Owned Large Farm at Gervais i .VI-: Word of the death of Roy Springer came at news to numer ous Salem residents Monday, although it occurred December 2 in Missouri. Springer farm, large portion Of the Marion county estate of the deceased business man is left by the will filed here Monday to a son and the widow. Each is to receive an equal por tion of the large property holding near Gervais, which once com prised most of the old Joseph Ger vais place. A tentative value of $40,000 is placed upon the Marion county real property, $8000 on the per sonal property estate here, of which Custer E. Ross has been named administrator with will an nexed. Coincidence permitted admis sion of the will to probate here, in spite of the fact that witnesses are residents of Manila, none of whom could appear here under current war conditions in the Pacific and from whom it would likewise be difficult to secure required af fidavits, attorneys said. Two of the signatures of wit nesses on the will, executed in the summer of 1940 in Manila, are those of attorneys, recognized by Mrs. Gloria B. Tuason, Manila resident who is a guest of her mother in Salem. Both men had served her husband in business capacities numerous times, she has declared, and her affidavit concerning their signatures is on file with the will.

Fait Food to Win War Declares : CC Speaker Nutritious, concentrated, non- deteriorating foods "will win the war and help with the peace" Dean W. A. Schoenfeld of the school of agriculture at Oregon State college declared, in an ad dress at the Salem chamber ol commerce luncheon on Monday. Dried - and condensed ' mUk, ' cheese, powdered eggs, lard and pork products fulfill these qualifi cations and since they are au produced advantageously in the Willamette valley, this region has an important role in the agricul- ' tural war effort, Dean Schoenfeld pointed out. Western Oregon has also been asked to double Its production of i grass and legume seed, the -speaker said, for the reason that the south l has depended largely upon New Zealand and Australia, now possibly cut off by war, for Its supply of legume seed and because legumes replenish the . soil with nitrogen, taking the place of the commercial nitrogen now diverted to manufacture of explosives.
