Everett police Sgt. Frank “Pat” Patterson was named the state’s juvenile officer of the year. The award was made by the Washington Police Officers Association on the basis of Patterson’s work on the county juvenile traffic control program during the Silver Lake School Patrol Camp. He received congratulations from Gov. Arthur Langley.

Young sailor David Kyes of Seattle was thrilled to be assigned to a four-year stint on the destroyer USS James E. Kyes. The vessel was named for his father, Cmdr. James E. Kyes, a native of Everett, who died Christmas Eve 1943 when his destroyer, the Leary, took three torpedoes and sank in the North Atlantic.
