JUST WON'T QUIT

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 49,
Samuel Vernon Petteway, aviation

ner on B-24 with the Navy

Petteway got his training for war
in the peaceful occupation of a
shipping clerk for Swift and Com
pany in Raleigh, N. C. His home
is jacksonville, near Wilmington.
Recently Petteway's skipper
Lieutenant Jimmie Little, made
some low level attacks on a Jap
held island, and the crew was busy
strafing and bombing. Three times
they made the difficult run through
Jap ack-ack without any personnel
getting hit, but the fourth run was

He was hit in the leg. 1t was an
ugly wound and very painful, but
Petteway continued at mis- gun, fir
ing away at the Japs until he be-
came too weak to stand.
The skipper needs me too badly
to quit" he told his buddies.
The plane came out of the attack
victorious and headed for the long
Journey home. Through an unfor-
tunate circumstance, no morphine
wae aboard and PetteWay was
forced to suffer in extreme pain.
At no time did he give in to con-
Germ.
His only worry was that he
couldn't be up in a position to help
his skipper sweat out a brakeless
landing" his comrades reported.
Petteway's commanding officer
has commended him in addition to
awarding him the Purple Heart.
And Petteway wants to let his
four sisters back home and his
brother in the Army Air Corps at

covering rapidly at base hospital

Standard Oil Company
Employees And Wives
Attend Dinner Meet

A group of 60 employees of the
Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey in North Carolina, and
their wives yesterday attended a
meeting and dinner at the Ocean
Terrace hotel, Wrightsviiie Beach,
to hear a discussion of the en-
ployee benefit plans adopted by
the company during the past thir-
ty-five years.
The Military Service Policy pro-
vides that all employees who en-.
ter the armed forces are granted
leaves of absence for the duration
of the war with a guarantee of re-
employment upon their return
Those who are disabled or killed
in service receive the same bene-
fits as they would have during
peacetime. Dependents of en-
ployees on military leave of alb
sence receive allotments from the
company to make up the differ
ence between regular military pay
and the former salary of the en-
ployee up to one-half Of the en-
ployee's pay when he entered the
armed forces.
The Employees Thrift Fund was
established in 1886 to give each
employee an opportunity to make
regular savings and to provide for
his retirement through the pur-
chase of annuities. Both the en-
ployee and the company contrib
ute to this fund.
