Petty Officer Fred H. Cook of North Lake came home last night with a limp he bears as a reminder of wounds which a Navy citation said he received "heroically defending his station under fire and successfully destroying an enemy plane at Guadalcanal Nov. 13." Mr. Cook, who is 41 years of age and served as a ship's cook in the First World War, is seen as he was greeted at the New York Central station here by his wife and son, Raymond. A second son, Robert, also is in the Navy, attending a torpedo school at San Diego, Calif. Before coming home Petty Officer Cook was confined in a naval hospital at Corona, Calif for several weeks.
