Sister Receives Award For Brother Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wright of 830 North Janss street, this city, was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star medal for heroic achievement of her brother, the late John R. McNeill, chief electrician's mate, United States Navy, who lost his life in the late war on submarine duty on USS Scamp. The presentation of the award was made by Rear Admiral Oscar C. Badger, USN, Commandant Eleventh Naval District, in ceremonies in San Diego, for "heroic achievement as Chief Electrician's Mate in charge of the maneuvering room in the submarine USS Scamp during the seventh war patrol of that vessel in enemy Japanese-controlled waters, on April 7, 1944." The citation continued, "When an enemy plane bombed and severely damaged his ship, McNeill promptly pulled all controls clear of the control cubicle to save them from burning up, working to the point of losing consciousness in the thick toxic smoke. Dropping to his knees in the after torpedo room only long enough to get a breath of fresh air, he returned to the cubicle to inspect and analyze the damage." "By his outstanding ability, he succeeded in effecting emergency repairs and restored propulsion to his ship, thereby contributing directly to the saving of the Scamp. His perseverance and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States naval service." Also present at the award presentation was Mrs. Clara Pitts of 3445 East Colorado, Pasadena, another sister of Mr. McNeill.

Lampton, state director of Motor Vehicles, warned this week.

Sweet Potato Vine Becomes A Show Piece The old refrain, "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree," takes no precedence over the flourishing sweet potato vine displayed behind the butcher counter in J. H. Payne's Penny Market, 130 East Center street. Raised with tender care from an old sweet potato bearing one or two diminutive shoots, the vine now spreads upward, in a leafy fan pattern, the entire length of the long wall mirror. The potato was planted in a bowl of water nearly six months ago by Vincent Dauser of Whittier, who was formerly in charge of the meat department. Tuesday of last week he "willed" his one-piece indoor exhibit to Jerry Norton of Fullerton, new department manager. Although its adopted owner, Norton, beams with entrepreneurial pride when complimented upon the size and attractiveness of his decorative vine.
