In the Army they hit the ball
and in the Navy, too !
The did their part in the
biggest job the world ever saw.
They did it "right now"! And
that, say many letters about
service men who have returned
to our employ, is still their way
of doing things. Here's just one
sample:
"Sunday, a rental battery
fell out of my car. The plate
which held the battery had rust

"Mr. Blank, the attendant,
pent more than an hour devis

a man work so hard on a task
a task which wasn't in the
Standard of California kit of

his closing time. For initiative,
Blank who told me he was
just out of the service has my
vote. I congratulate Standard of
California on having him."
To this we can add that every
one in our organization finds
inspiration in the vigor and
conscientiousness shown by re
turned service men toward their
duties whether they were with
us before, or have come in since
doffing uniform.
All through this war we have
received letters from employees
in uniform saying how eager
they were to be back again with
"the Company." We'd like to
say right here and now how
bappy we are to have them back.
Daily, they're giving us new
reason to be proud of our re
turned service men.

Ray s infant daughter, Mavis,

When the .captain was sent

a com-janv of soldiers about to
leave for overseas. He boarded
the transport with the men and
after hiding for a time, then ap
rieared to begin his search
among the men When the
ship's commander sentenced him
to death, a kindly major adopt
ed Joker and took him ashore
on a Pacific island.
No one knows how Joker
found his way to the little Island
whore he fii.ally found his mas

had left home th captain look

couldn't beMeve bis eyes when
he saw the dog coming past the
tent with anothei officer. In
the three months he had travel
ed some 6,000 miles.
Joker staved with Capt. Raye
until his return to the United

Camp White with the officer.
Joker's storv was featured in the
Oct. 21 issue of the American
Weekly, copies of which were
received by the captain before
he left Camp White last week.
