Killed i'm P.I. During Re- Con-
quest Reaches Mainland

Another World War ii hero's
body has been returned to the
United States and will be brought
to Port Clinton for burial services
in the near future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Wills, Mon
day, received telegram stating
that the body of their son, Pfc.
Kenneth Wills, 20, had arrived in
San Fransisco from the PHILIPPINE
Islands. His body will be shipped
to Columbus Quartermaster Depot
for processing before being sent
here.
Wills was killed in Leyte, Philip
pine Islands, on Otober 20, 1914.
He was the first Port Clinton
youth to be killed in the reconquest
of the Philippines where numerous
members of the Port Clinton Tank
company gave their lives early in
the war.
Kenneth Wills entered service in
March, 1943, and had been over
seas 18 months when he was killed
He attended Port Clinton high
school and was working at the Erie
Proving Ground when he entered
service.
A member of the famed Seventh
Infantry, Wills had participated in
action at Kiska in the Aleutian
Islands and in the invasion of the
Marshall Islands before going to
=. |.
The local youth was awarded the
combat infantryman's medal, the
, Purple Heart and the Silver Star
The Silver Star citation read as
follows:
"For gallantry in action or
October 20, 1914, while advancing
with his platoon against enemy
positions in grave yard, Pvt
Wills was told 20 remain at the
rear because he was armed with
only a rocket launcher. Instead
he volunteered to lead the advance
of the platoon as a scout.
"When the platoon came under
heavy sniper fire, he continued tc
advance disregarding the fire, unit
he had located the enemy positions
At that time, he shouted a warn
ing back to his platoon but was
| killed by sniper fire before he him
self could fire. This heroic action
probably saved the lives of mem
bers Of his platoon and demon
strated an unselfish devotion tC
duty that was in keeping with the
highest tradition of the military
service"
| Mrs. Wills has announced that
the body will be brought to the
Wills home, 318 Laurel avenue
where funeral services will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. Karl Brand, OF
the Immaculate Conception church
Military rites will be conducted BY

IMPETUS GIVEN
BEACH PROJECT
BY COUNCILMEN
True Offers To Help Raise
q, Funds For million Dollar"
Beach Park

Further plans for the proposed
"million-dollar beach" project
along Port Clinton's lakefront
were discussed Tuesday evening
at the council meeting in City Hall
when councilmen voted to pay for
hauling $50 more loads of dirt for
fill usage.
y Att,7. Oliver True, one of the
men who has backed the project
for many years, suggested that
council find out from St. Clair
Brothers how much it would cost
per lineal foot to continue their
drag-line lakefront clearing pro-
ject.
If the cost is not too exhorbi-
tant, True offered to go out and
help solicit public fund subscrip-
IONS to help pay the bill. Civic
groups would also be asked to help
raise funds for the energetic pro-
gram.
Councilmen voted to have five
men on the Board of Park trus-
tees, of which the chairman of
the C, InciPs park committee will
serve as an eX-officio member.
The other members will be ap-
pointed for one, two, three and
four-year terms originally, with
Vour-year appointments later.
Deeds for the waterfront prop
erty will be transferred to this
Board of Park trustees, who will
have sole authority in park ad-
ministration problems. No pub
licly owned concessions will be
permitted in the area.
With the council voting to pur-
chase another $50 loads of dirt,
the city now has paid for 450
kbads, while the Board of Public
Affairs has paid for hauling an
other 300 loads to the Waterworks
park area.
Approved by councilmen were an
ordinance for the issuance of
100000 in mortgage revenue
bonds for waterworks improve
ments, and a resolution for the
purchase of a portable air COM
pressor for the waterworks.
~ -Councilmen voted to purchase
a steel tape float control for use
in the east end sewer pumps at a
cost of $3.50. City Clerk William
Zeis reported that Mayor Carl
Becker's monthly statement of
fines collected totaled $50.
