the Bookworm Club at the
home of Mrs. Gene Ferguson,
Tuesday evening, Mar. 28,
was a special treat. Fay

depicted New 7ealand where
she spent 5 nights on the
North Island and two weeks
on the South Island. A few
showed her shorter look at
Sidney, Australia where she
spent 5 days. On the North
island she enjoyed Auk
land, Rotorua, and Welling

she was a Gore and in the
area surrounding.

Some of her most interest

geysers, and big develop
ments there were spectacu
lar. The native Maori ruins
and replicas are of very great
interest to all. Esjiecially
pleasing to most of the Book

homes and families and es
pecially the gardens of the

"We feel positive that his dog had to be killed before
Mike could t captured" says his mother Mrs. Terrel
Benge, She explains that Mike kept the dog with him con
stantly and that the dog was very familiar with and to all
of Mike's known friends, but was trained not to allow un
friendly persons to approach Mike,
Dunne II recent "Week of Concern for prisoners of
War and Missing In Action" the Portland Oregonian carried
triple to U.S. civilian prisoners In tetnam. It featured
a picture of Mike Benge, Oregon's only known missing
civilian. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Terrel flenge and
the brother of Joan Hughes. He Is well known here and Is
especially remembered by some because of the outstanding
assembly he conducted at the Grade School during his last
home leave. He showed slides of the Montagnard area of
Vietnam and told of his work as a representative with ISA ID.
Mike had spent six years there helping Improve the lot of the
Montagnards. He had become fluent in tlieir language. He
was captured by the Viet Cong during the Tet offensive
of February, 10G8, near Ban Me Thout In the Central Highlands.
Mike's family continues to send a letter a month and a
package every other month to Mike through the Red Cross,
Hanoi and Cambodia. However they report most of the letters
and a!! the paekaen are returned after a delay of three to
ten months.
Mike was an unarmed, non-combatant civilian, and is not
a war criminal. He is being held In direct violation of all
national and international law.
Because of their special status the IssueofcivUian Prisoners
should be easily settled, declared Jim Murphy, deputy to be
special assistant to the undersecretary of state for missing
mon.
Like military missing In action, civilian employes of the
government continue to get their pay checks, raises and
promotions. ,
Mike's family has only heard rumors about him since not
too long after his capture when an escaped prisoner reported
seeing him in good health. The rumors were that Montagnards
had seen Mke being moved from one prison camp to another
but it has been such a long time since there was any official
report on this Morrow County hero.
