Charlie Bennett was a Every

Charlie didn't have extra good

was helpful and industrious, the
kind of a boy teachers wish their

Why, he didn't even throw
spitballs in class-and now he's

left here following the death of
his father, young Bennett made
many friends, and his sister,
Miss Erma Bennett. of the Con-
sumers Power company this
city, has helped keep these
friendships cemented for her
brother.
Prior TO enlistment, Bennett
lived with his sister, Mrs Mil

his wings at Roswell Field, New
Mexico, in January Of this year,
and has been overseas since
July.
During his period of overseas
service, Lieut.. Bennett has seen
ample action, including one
forced landing after his bomber
was badly shot up in raid over
Stuttgart. Fortunately, the big
plane came to rest in the English
Channel, and r. A. F. Spitfires
radioed its position to crash
crews who rescued them.
In addition TO his Air Medal
