RELATIVE, FRIENDS GRIEVE WHILE FAMILY WAITS There are no words to describe the shock suffered when Loretta and Anthony Kane received official word Monday morning, that their son--Thomas-- was listed as missing in action as a result of the fire aboard the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Forrestal in the Tonkin Gulf last Saturday morning. Fire and explosions ravaged the 76,000 ton carrier and the fatalities mounted. Many men were reported trapped below decks and pilots were burned in the cockpits as they were ready for take-off. According to the Navy spokesman, it may be months before the Kanes will know the results. However, many of the men jumped into the sea and were rescued by other ships in the area and, according to news bulletins, the search goes on for survivors of the Forrestal. We pray the Kanes may be one of the lucky ones. CONDOLENCES TO Mrs. Elma (Earl) Nelson, whose mother, Mrs. Emma Johnson, 75, died in Burlington hospital, early last Saturday morning.
