Gen. James A. Vaai Fleet, Eighth I Army commander, said "The gallant deeds of this brave soldier played a I vital role in the successful achieve-l ment of the mission of his unit." Bennett's fight against a massed enemy attack gave his company time to withdraw. He had only nine months of Army i service when he fought that action near Sobangsan, Korea, on last June 24.

The parade will be replete with motorcycle escort, some fantastic appearing figures and music will be furnished by a drum and bugle corps. "This will be one of the most unusual parades ever staged in Florida," said McSwain. "There is really no adequate way to describe it.

4602 N. ARMENIA AVC. WI DELIVER Young Hero Didn't Care For Crowds COCOA, Dec. 29. tPi Emory Bennett, who killed 50 Red soldiers while shouting for them to come and get him, was a lot different boy at home.

He was quiet and unassuming, his family, friends and employers said of the American soldier who was announced today as Medal of Honor winner. Bennett was killed last June 24 in Korea. When his body was brought back and buried here a month ago 300 persons attended the military service. While he was living Bennett didn't go much for crowds like that. "He enjoyed fishing, I think, almost as much as he did eating," his mother, white-haired Mrs.

S. G. Bennett, recalled. Grew up 'In River' His brother, Gary, who operates Bennett's Seafood Market, said Emory "grew up in that Indian River and he really liked it." When he was about 10, the family recalled, Emory built a corrugated iron boat and used to paddle around the river. He got other boys interested and pretty soon there was a whole flotilla of them.

"He was a good shot." Gary said. "He'd take a .22 rifle and get out in the back yard just at dusk and shoot bats on the wing. He could get three out of five." John Pound, editor of the Cocoa Tribune, knew Emory Bennett all his life. "The memory of his heroism, which Emory only considered his duty as a soldier of the armed forces, and for his family and friends at home, shall always be cherished here," the editor said. Two men who employed Bennett found him likeable and a good worker.

Minded Own Business "We all thought a lot of him here." said R. L. Murrell, Cocoa express agent. "He was quiet, unassuming and attended to his own business." At Jacksonville, Emory worked for Harry Alcott at the Fulton Fish Company. "He was a fine boy," Alcott said, "clean-cut and conscientious.

We break open a bottle here once in a while, but he didn't bend his elbow. "Our hours are pretty rugged from early morning until sometimes late at night but he never complained." Bennett was learning the business, Alcott said, starting as a telephone salesman, taking orders for out-of-state shipping. He worked there until GRANDFATHER FA1HER SON Funeral Director BAYSHORE PLANT AVI PHONI 1.3000 attack before dawn. The. company was in danger of being overrun when Bennett moved forward out of the comparative safety of his foxhole until he was almost face to face with the charging enemy.

Fire from his Browning automatic weapon "cut down the Chinese in quick succession and stopped them in their tracks." Company was able to regroup, but the weight of superior numbers of the enemy slowly bore down and forced it back. "Bennett stayed where he was, shouting encouragement to us and yelling to the Chinese to 'come and get The enemy threw everything they had at him, but he kept up his heavy fire and would not let them pass. "Finally, after we had moved out safely, we saw him go down under a renewed hail of fire. Prior to my leaving the position I saw dead Communists, sometimes two deep, in front of Bennett's position.

He also said he gave the standard four whistle blasts starting a half mile from the crossing. Norwood had been on the daily run since Dec. 13. He has been an engineer since 1934, he said. Six crew members agreed in testimony the train was going 50 miles per hour, the usual speed through that area.

FOAM RUBBER A DIFFERENT STORY During this year, we received so many letters from supply nouses stating that increased costs had forced them to raise prices. We decided to be different. You may be surprised to know that our prices are the same as they were before the present war started.

The increased volume and the large stock of material we had on hand enabled us to do that. We do not know how long can continue, but we can promise the same low prices through January. It is not likely that there will ever be a better time to buy a mausoleum or monument, table top, fireplace facing, or steps. Any Kind of Marble for Any Purpose CAS WE SERVE YOU?
