Adair Sergeant Gets
Medal for Fine Work
Drove Oil Truck Out
Of Fire Here in Sept
A Hollywood movie
talent scout spotted Ann Savage
(above) in a bit part in a play
based on a Clifford Odet’s drama,
and immediately wired his office.
Now »he ha* a film contract.
Sgt. Clarence D. Ix'ach, in the
artillery of the Timber Wolf Divis
ion here, has been awarded the !
Soldier’s Medal for his act in jump
ing into a truck and driving it out
of the way of danger, in the oil;
fire of Sept 19. Word to that effect
has come from Washington, D. C. ,
Five men were burned, one of j
them being the sergeant, who was
in the hospital for 20 days. A part
ly filled barrel of waste oil had |
exploded while soldiers were
spreading oil for the burning of an
area near the incinerator.
Pvt. William O. Skaggs, who was
burned slightly in beating out the
fire in Leach's clothing, has been
promoted to be technician, fifth
grade. Both men have Lt. Col. W.
P. Sammet as commanding officer.
Sgt. Leach was an auto mechan
ic at Hamilton, Texas, before en
tering the service in 1940. The
medal which will be formally pre
sented later was established at the
same time as the Distinguished
Flying Cross, in 1926. It was in
tended as a reward for heroism by
members of the Army during time
of peace, corresponding somewhat
to the Navy Cross when that med
al is granted for such services.
Since the time of its establish
ment. an average of two Soldier’s
Medals per month have been award
ed, principally to enlisted members
of the Army. For the most part it
has been granted for heroic deeds
in life saving, with some few be
ing presented for non-belligerent
activities during the Japanese
operations in China, in 19,38-1939.
The medal is in bronze. It sus
pends from £ blue ribbon with sev.
