Former Pilot Officer
Presented Navy Cross
In Ceremony Saturday
Roy N. Bean, Jr., of 3323 Tang-
ley, former lieutenant (jg)
U. S. N. R., was presented with
the Navy Cross for valor Satur-
day at Norman, Oklahoma, by
Capt. E. W. Armentrout, Jr., com-
mandant of the University of Ok-
lahoma N. R. O. T. C.
Mr. Bean, who is a grandnephew
of the famed Judge Roy Bean, was
flying his dive bomber, appro-
priately named "Law West of the
Pecos," from the carrier Shangri
La on July 24, 1945, when he sank
a Japanese cruiser with a direct
hit of a 1000-pound bomb. To at-
tack the cruiser, Mr. Bean had to
fly his plane through heavy, ac-
curate anti-aircraft fire from
shore batteries, flak ships and
naval units.
The citation read that Mr. Bean
distinguished himself "by extra-
ordinary heroism in action while
participating in an aeral fight
in operations against the enemy
in the vicinity of Kure harbor,
Honshu, Japan."
Mr. Bean is now attending the
University of Oklahoma where he
is taking an engineering course.
TOO ANXIOUS
Mrs. Brown took her husband to
a mannequin parade. An evening
gown worn by an extremely pretty
model attracted her attention.
"That would look nice at our
party next Saturday," she said,
hoping her husband would buy
it for her.
"Yes," agreed Mr. Brown. "Why
not invite her."
MAKING AN IMPRESSION
"What a glorious painting; I
wish I could take those lovely
colors home with me."
"You will; you're sitting on my
paint box."
