Stockton friends extend deepest SYM
pathy to Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Frye,
of Scituate, Mass, on hearing of the death
by accident on the firing line, "some-
where in France" of their youngest son,
Dean. A young man of great energy and
daring, twenty-four years of age, his am
bition was to join the aviation corps or
drive a tank; but he wrote his parents:
II was not fortunate enough for that,
there were SO many other applicants.
At last accounts he was driving an auto
for one of the staff officers, which neces-
sarily kept him within the danger zone.
This young man will be remembered in
town from his frequent visits, when
driving his father and mother in their
car. Mr.. Frye has another son, Howard,
and nephew, Henry l. Hall, who are In
the thick of the fighting on the Western
