Jerry McManus, Mars Hill, Is Missing In Action

Jerry McManus, about 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Noel McManus of Mars Hill, was
reported missing in action by the England Air Force Base officials last
weekend.

Young McManus was a tail-gunner on a helicopter which was lost supposedly in
the new invasion of South Vietnam where so many helicopters have been shot
down.  He was nearing the end of his year's service in Vietnam and had been
expected to come home next month.

Jerry McManus attended Verda High School and enlisted in the Armed Forces
about two years ago.

Besides his parents, he has three brothers, Johnny, a student at Verda School,
Jimmy, who recently returned from Vietnam, and Richard of Alaska.  He also has
one sister, married, and residing in Shreveport.
