MISSING BLUFFTON
AIR MEN HELD AS
PRISONERS FREED
Sgt. Richard Oberly, Sgt. Robert
KOontz Liberated From
Camps in Germany
Both Reported Missing Last
March; No Further Word Re-
garding Them Until Now

Two Bluffton area men airmen re.
ported missing in action since last
March, and regarding whom there hac
been no further information for near
ly three months, have been liberated
from German prison camps according
to notification received by their par.
ents last week.
They are:
Sgt. Richard Oberly, son of Mil
lard 0berly, of Cherry street.
Sgt. Robert +. Koontz, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Koontz, cf
east of Bluffton.
No word had been received official
ly regarding Sgt. Oberly from the
time the Flying Fortress on which he
was a gunner was shot down over
Europe in March, until his father re-
ceived a telegram from the War De-
partment last Thursday notifying him
that his son had been freed from a
prison camp.
No details were learned beyond the
fact that the bomber was forced down
over Hungary while limping back to
its base in Italy, after having first
been damaged over Berlin.
A graduate of Bluffton High school,
Sgt. Oberly had received the Army
Air medal shortly before he was lost
in action.
Sgt. Koontz wrote his parents on
May from Germany, and the letter
received by them was the first word
regarding him since they were noti-
fed on March 5 that he was missing
in action.
Official notification of release from
a German prison camp came on Satur-
day in a message from the Adjutant
General.
The War Department notification
advised that he returned to ~. S.
Military control on April %, but did
not disclose any other details. He was
a gunner on Flying Fortress oper-
ating out of England.
His parents said that he celebrated
his Goth birthday on May 7, and We
Day on May s. Sgt. Koontz is a
graduate of Mt. Cory High school.

campaign over the top.
Co-chairmen N. A. Triplett and
M. M Bogart announced Tuesday
that if any of the towns residents
have not been solicited by the end of
this week a telephone call to bond
headquarters at the Citizens Bank
will result in arrangements being
made for call at the convenience of
the prospective purchaser.
Investing in bonds is even more
important now, the co-chairmen said,
for altho the war in Europe is end
ed, an all-out campaign against
Japan will be far more costly than
any phase of the German conflict.

'AAA DESIGNED TO

The AAA Farm program is the

the program is helpful is evidenced
by the fact that u percent of the
