CAMP ADAIR, May 5 Lt Ed
ward R. Neville, Co. F, 275th in-
fantry, 70th division at Camp
'Adair, although alive and kick
ing tody.jhas officially been list
ed as ' dead for more than 15
; months. The same thing , once
happened to the lieutenant's fa
rther, who! was listed as missing
during the S p a n ish-American
, war, only to turn up leveral
.months later.
Lt. Nev He's strange story, be
gan when he and three other
men were about to leave GuadaJ-
'canal by transport plane. After
their effects were placed aboard,
an emergency stretcher case was
brought up and the four -men
gave up their, seats as it takes
four seats! to fit one stretcher on
transport
However, . due to the rush, all
f' the lieutenant's papers re
mained ott the plane which was
never heard from after it took
Off. A shirt time later his folks
received a wire to the effect that
be was listed as missing, j
On month later h landed in
5 San- Francisco and called bis
. home in , Lowell, Mass. une can
readily iinagine the shock it was
to his folks and especially to him
.when he found that they thought
he was dead. He had never known
.that the wire was sent. However,
he attributed it to the time he was
'caught behind Ihe Jap lines in
November! 1942.
The plane event took place in
January, 10 4 3, and he thought
that - the ; matter was corrected
since then and made no steps to
.rectify the records with the po-
. per authorities.
. In January of 1944, his folks
received 4 letter from the. war
-department that he was declared
officially dead since he had been
missing for one year.

it applies to most of the steps be
tween the two; was shown in mo
tion pictures at the Salem Credit
association luncheon Friday noon

The question of advertising was
mentioned as j the projector 'was
started but it was tabled, with' the
remark "tires are tires, aren't
they? Does anybody have an ex-J
traone?". 1 ,
The large number of uses by
which rubber is related to the war
effort was brought vividly home
