WWII RCN Awards: MILLS, Mary Effie Francis, Lieutenant .   Member - Order of the British Empire (MBE)   WRCNS / Officer-in-Charge Loran Station at Whitehead (Deming Island), Nova Scotia.

Awarded as per Canada Gazette of 15 June 1946  "For exemplary devotion to duty under difficult conditions.  As Officer-in-Charge of the  isolated Loran station at Whitehead, Nova Scotia, Lieutenant Mills was responsible for  the operation and maintenance of highly technical equipment and the administration of a station where the maintenance of morale was of great importance.  Her constant  cheerfulness throughout her appointment at Whitehead won the admiration of those  serving with her."  Home:  Winnipeg, Manitoba.  Born in 1910.

Note:  She gave a interview in 2000 at age 90. Lt. Mills was sent to Ottawa to learn about Loran, a new kind of location radar developed at Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology.   For almost a year, Mills and two other women worked behind a curtain in an office, their  work deemed too sensitive for prying eyes.  They received electronic signals, forwarded  the data to MIT and helped in basic research on waves and radar beams. Then she was transferred to Whitehead, N.S where she led 25 WRENS working in eight-hour shifts around the clock, monitoring radio signals from sea.
