By his tact and courtesy, Sergeant Heywood has contributed considerably to the excellent relations established between the pay service and civilians throughout the islands. Outside of his normal sphere of pay duties he has, by his enthusiasm and hard work substantially assisted in the fight against inflation and in particular that angle of it represented by the savings campaign.’
