MADE SEAMAN 1/C—

Ewers recently received a certificate of merit for outstanding qualities and performance of duty in the deck division. Graduated from the local high school last spring, he entered service in June, took his boot training at the Great Lakes and later amphibious training at Little Creek.
His brother, Albert Ewers, aviation cadet, is taking advanced training at Kingsville, Tex.
