NORWEGIAN FLIERS
TOUR OFCOUNTRY
One Officer is Recent Escape
From Norway; Funds For
Training Planes Sought.
Lieut. Nils Olaf Melin of the
royal Norwegian airforce and
Sgt. Andreas (second name cen
sored), also of the Norwegian
airforce, were overnight visitors
in Medford last night, breaking
an air trip from San Francisco
to Portland. The two young
fliers are making a good-will
tour under the auspice, of
"Wings for Norway, Inc."
Lieut. Melin, spokesman for
the two, explained that his com
panion, who Is piloting a Swed
ish training plane, had escaped
from Norway but a year ago and
that his last name is a military
secret necessitating the use of
but his first name.

raise funds among Swedish
American people for training
planes to be used at the train
ing school in Toronto, Canada.
Lieut. Melin explained that the
tour has the permission of the
state department and that a
total of 35 cities will be visited.
Medford was not on the official
list of cities to be visited but
the two, making the trip in the
slow trainer, were taken with
the appearance of the city from
the air and decided to stop over
night. "We 'dived' on a couple
of swimming pools we noticed
from the air," Lieut. Melin said
"and they looked so refreshing
and the countryside was so
beautiful we decided to come
down.
Lieut: Melin would say little
concerning the war, merely re
marking that "there is nothing
pleasant to say." He said that
the drive which they were con
ducting for funds had met with
a wonderful response in all the
cities visited. Lieut. Melin has
been on this continent for al
most seven years and the pilot
but a few months. Sgt. Andreas
Is native of Oslo and but 22
years of age. Both men were
in uniform and made an ex
ceedingly striking appearance.

Grace Hall of Jacksonville, returned to a naval base this week
to be assigned to a new U. S. navy ship. The only other ship
on which he has served since his enlistment, January 17, 1941,
was the aircraft carrier Lexington, which was sunk in the Coral

valley where Dick attended the
Little Applegate and Sterling

enrolled at the Southern Oregon

did honor work. In January he
enlisted in the navy.
For four months after his en
listment he attended an electri

Since Joining the navy. Hall
has had his first train ride, his

difficult wartime trading, says

When the fate of the Lexing-1
ton was known Hall was in a
motor room but was ordered to
stand by on deck. However,
when the vast store rooms of the
ship were opened to the boys
Dick with many others got a
plentiful supply of ice cream.
He said the only reason that he
didn't fill his tin hat as was re
ported of so many of the others
was that he didn't have a tin
hat but he "managed to get at
least a quart" before going over
the side to a waiting lifeboat.
Some of the Lexington's crew
stayed in southern waters fort

were brought home by trans-,

On being asked what was his
greatest thrill he said that it was
seeing Lt. Edward O'Hare shoot
down five Jap planes in a single
combat on February 20, 1942,
which won for O'Hare the Con
gressional Medal of Honor and
a promotion to the rank of llcut.
