# W. Alton Jones

William Alton Jones (April 19, 1891 – March 1, 1962), was president of the oil and gas conglomerate Cities Service Company (now CITGO). He was an influential industrialist, philanthropist, and close personal friend of United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

## Biography

Jones was born into a poor Missouri farm family of seven in 1891. He married his childhood sweetheart, Nettie Marie Marvin in 1914. In 1920 he became an executive with the energy company Cities Service Company, serving as president from 1940 to 1953. He rose to become one of the highest-paid CEOs in the United States. During World War II, he became a hero of war production by building a secret dynamite production plant in Arkansas, an aviation fuel refinery in Louisiana, and over 3,000 miles of oil pipelines from Texas to the East Coast that were vital to the war effort.
As an important supporter of the Republican Party, he met and became a very close personal friend of President Eisenhower.
In 1944 he founded the W. Alton Jones Foundation "to promote the well-being and general good of mankind through out [sic] the world". The foundation supported various causes, such as the arts, education, and environmental activism, but split into three separate funds in 2001.
Jones was killed in the crash of American Airlines Flight 1 in New York City on March 1, 1962, while on his way to join Eisenhower on a fishing trip.
Immediately after his death his widow, Nettie Marie Jones, donated his private hunting and fishing retreat (which had hosted President Eisenhower and the King Mahendra of Nepal) to the University of Rhode Island, creating the W. Alton Jones Campus. The campus closed in June of 2020 because of continuing financial struggles over several years.

# Argogorytes mystaceus

Argogorytes mystaceus is a species of solitary wasp in the family Bembicidae.

## Distribution

This species has a Palearctic distribution occurring in most European countries from Ireland in the west and east to Siberia, Japan, Korea, China; south to Turkey.

## Habitat

These wasps prefer deciduous woodland and hedge rows with sandy soil in sunny mountain areas with abundant flowering plants, at an elevation of over 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level.

## Description

Argogorytes mystaceus can reach a length of 10–14 millimetres (0.39–0.55 in) in females, of 8–11 millimetres (0.31–0.43 in) in males. These medium-sized wasps have a black abdomen with a few yellow stripes and no petiole. In males antennae are very long. Mesothorax and scutellum are black. Legs are pale yellowish brown, with a black base.

## Biology

Females of Argogorytes mystaceus usually visit Apiaceae flowers, wood spurge and honeydew on sweet chestnut leaves. Males are known to be pollinator of the flowers of fly orchids (mainly Ophrys insectifera). The males of this species try to copulate (pseudocopulation) with these specialized flowers, that mimic (pouyannian mimicry) the shape and the scent of the females, with the purpose of deceiving them and thereby pollinate the flowers.
These solitary wasps nest in soil in dry banks. Larvae feed on nymphs of small leafhoppers and spittlebugs (mainly Philaenus and Aphrophora species). They fly in one generation from mid-May to mid-August. Among their natural enemies there are parasitoid wasps (especially Ichneumonidae larvae) and nest parasites (Nysson spinosus).
# Johnny Joyce (athlete)

Johnny Joyce (August 22, 1876 – May 17, 1957) was an American track and field athlete who competed in the 1904 Summer Olympics. He competed in the 800 metres. He finished outside of the top six in what was a straight final.
# Ruth Kajander

Ruth Kajander (15 August 1924- 8 November 2019) was a psychiatrist and pioneer in the use of chlorpromazine as a treatment for schizophrenia.

## Early life

Ruth Kajander was born Ruth Elisabeth Emilia Auguste Koeppe in Goettingen, Germany in 1924. She was the daughter of Else (née Corman) and Hanskurt Koeppe and had two younger brothers. In her teenage years, during the Second World War, she fled Berlin on bicycle to return to her hometown. In 1948, she completed medical school at Giessen University. In 1957, she married Aatto Arthur Kajander with whom she had one child.

## Career

Kajander became the first female intern at the Oshawa General Hospital in 1953. That same year, she learned about the pre-anesthetic chlorpromazine. She realized that the drug sedated patients without putting them to sleep, which opened up the possibility of reducing tension and overactivity in patients with mental illnesses. She administered the drug at the London Psychiatric Hospital in Ontario. This trial involved 25 patients, mostly with symptoms of overactive catatonic schizophrenia. She noted that the drug was effective in improving their quality of life. Although she was the first person in North America to test this drug on psychiatric patients, credit for this contribution went to Heinz Lehmann who was conducting his research around the same time. Kajander presented her findings in November 1953 at the regular meeting of the Ontario Neuropsychiatric Association, months before Lehmann’s first publication. She did not receive formal recognition because her work was not published.
Later in her life, Kajander went on to become the first female president of the Ontario Psychiatric Association in 1982. She was also one of the first women to be involved in the Ontario Medical Association.

# USS Butler

USS Butler (DD-636), a Gleaves-class destroyer, is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, twice awarded the Medal of Honor.
Butler was launched on 12 February 1942 by Philadelphia Navy Yard, sponsored by Mrs. John Wehle, daughter of General Butler; and commissioned on 15 August 1942.

## Service history

After undergoing shakedown trials, Butler engaged in escort work in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. On 14 January 1943, she departed on a trans-Atlantic voyage to Casablanca and thence to Dakar, French West Africa. From there she escorted two Free French vessels, Richelieu and Montcalm, to New York. After overhaul in New York and coastwise convoy escort work she set sail for the Mediterranean on 8 June. Following training exercises at Oran and Algiers, she proceeded to Bizerte whence she departed in July for the Allied invasion of Sicily from 9 July to 12 August. She took part in the Amphibious Battle of Gela and subsequently served on escort duty throughout the remainder of the operation. She then steamed for New York, arriving on 22 August.
Butler was engaged in convoy work and overhaul until 5 May 1944 at which time she stood out for the Invasion of Normandy from 6 June to 15 July. She screened heavy units of the bombardment group and served at the inshore fire support station during this assault. From 12 to 30 August she escorted Royal Navy escort carriers taking part in Operation Dragoon. Shortly thereafter she returned to New York for overhaul.
After a convoy run to Marseilles in October, Butler returned to New York on 27 October for conversion to a high-speed minesweeper. Reclassified DMS-29 on 15 November, her conversion was completed on 21 December, and she proceeded to Norfolk and joined Mine Squadron 20 (MineRon 20). On 3 January 1945, the ship weighed anchor for Naval Station San Diego en route to Pearl Harbor. Upon completion of extensive training in the Hawaiian area, she sailed to Ulithi and then conducted a pre-invasion sweep around Okinawa. She continued screen and picket duty, splashing many planes, throughout the assault on Okinawa (24 March – 25 May 1945). On 25 May, she downed 5, out of 6, kamakazi, with only one getting through, crashing into the sea and exploding just off of Butler's engine room, killing fourteen men, blowing out steam lines, and flooding the forward fire room, causing the loss of all steam and electric power. The battleship West Virginia stood by Butler until power was regained, and assisted in driving off two more Japanese planes.
The next day, Butler proceeded to Kerama Retto for temporary repairs. After repairs, she proceeded in a group back to the United States. During transit, they encountered a hurricane, and only the Butler survived. She arrived in the United States on 26 August and was decommissioned on 8 November 1945.
She was sold for scrapping on 10 January 1948.

## Awards

Butler received the Navy Unit Commendation for her service in the Okinawa operation and four battle stars for her World War II service.
