text of obituary:
Dr. H. A. Fast and family of North Newton, as well as their many friends here, were saddened last week when word was received that his sister, Miss Marie K. Fast, a member of the Mennonite relief workers' staff in Egypt, is missing somewhere in the Middle East.
According to the cabled message received through UNRRA, Miss Fast and Dr. Richard Yoder of the El Shatt relief station were on a steamer bound for Greece with a group of Yugoslav refugees who were being repatriated to their homeland. As far as is known an explosion occurred somewhere en route, about which, however, complete details are at this time still unknown.
According to subsequent word, Dr. Yoder is safe and it is hoped that further messages will also report the safety of Miss Fast. She has been in overseas relief work under the Mennonite Central Committee for more than a year.
