Gene Adam.s Another story of interest but dealing with the unpleasant phases of service life has as its central fig-ure, Gene Adams, son of the Lewis Adams of this city. Last week Lewis Lenneweh of Elmhurst,' a former buddy of Gene in Australia, visited the Adams family and his story was enough to make one shudder at the thought of how close our local soldier had come to death. It all happened early Last summer when Pvt. Lenneweh landed in New GfHiiea from Australia. Knowing that Gene had preceded him to this island, he asked time again if anyone knew him. At last h£s. found someone who remembered Gene but .•reported that he had been killed in action three days previous. A short time later in the fighting in New Guinea, the company in which Pfc.

I'm in the anti-aircraft artillery'and like it very well. It's not like homo but we'll have to fight if we want a place to call home. Yesterday thty bad a scrap drive at Wayoross, Cla. We drove sixteen army trucks for tlw civilians and the Boy Scouts to load up. It was good scrap they put up too -as we loaded four railroad cars full.

Gene, one day. While ! the sight of Gene disproved the statement of his death, nevertheless his haggard appearance was proof enough that he had feally seen some action. G«ne's Story In his jitory to Lenneweh, Gene fc»ld of the ordeal which he had just heen through. In the fighting in r which he had taken part the first machine gunner was killed and Gene, the second gunner, was forced to take his place. Jn the changing of posts he was cut off from his company and was unable to emerge from his foxhole for ten days. During that time he had no water to drink mid only the small amount of food that was with him. After rejoining his company he was sent to a hospital f«r he had contracted malaria, and «ldy recently has he been able to jpnve this hospital. In his letters home Gene never mentioned the hectic days of the past ttrn months. Only to an aunt had. Dear Mose: While I'm not doing anything now (as usual.
