Dear Sir:
Once again 1 have received my
quota of mail from the States. In
cluded in my mail was several cop
les of The Smyrna Times. The first
thing I looked for was your Drib-
blles column Immediately, 1 was
rewarded by seeing letter that
Johnny Melvin had written his
mother. This is the first time had
heard from Johnny since he enter
ed the Service. Johnny, if you
should happen to see this, I hope
that you will accept my most sin
cere congratulations on your sue
cess. wish you lots of luck. If
fate is kind, I am hoping that
sometime in the near future 1 will
join you, but that is still to be
worked out.
1 notice, Mr.. Editor, that you
continue reminding the folks back
home to write to The Boys In The
Service. In this 1 heartily agree
with you. When a new lot of mail
arrives from the States( it comes
as near being a holiday as any
thing we have out here where I
am stationed.
Another article that 1 always
look for is the list of persons who
are to serve at the Spoilers Posts
for the coming week. Somehow it
seems to bring you closer to home
to realize what the folks back there
are doing to assist in the war eff
fort.
/ guess that this is about all for
the present, except to say Hello"
to all the Boys I know who are
now in the wherever they
may be.
Sincerely,
Buckeye"

Welcome to our column again
Buckeye" old friend. Dribbles is
always very glad to hear from you.
The last time we published word
about you, the hospital cot was get
ting the most of your time. It's
mighty good to know that you are
much improved at the present writ
ing. Glad to know it, son. Here's
hoping that you'll soon be as fit as
a fiddle.
It's nice knowing that you enjoy
reading this column, and our most
sincere wish will always be to
serve you, and the likes of you.
Course, we're very much dependent
on the parents and friends of The
Boys In The Service for the news.
To date, the Boys themselves are
furnishing the most of it. How
ever, we do have some very loyal
supporters among the folks back
home. Perhaps they realizee what
it means to serve, whether it be in
the local areas where life is prac-
tically normal, or in the more adj
vanced positions, where life is def
inately gamble. Anyway, Drib-
bles thinks it is mighty nice to
have friends wherever you may find
them.
Sure, son, this column has been
trying to tell all the folks around
here how much you Boys In The
Service respond to mail. Well keep
plugging away from time to time so
that they won't forget to write
Dribbles would be made quite hap
py could it be known that all of
you Boys were making out well in
this respect. Even the toughest
''Top Kick" in the Service likes to
know that someone remembers him
when the mail call sounds. In pass
ing, son, we note that you are now
a First Glass Private. Good work
Buckeye" and here's wishing you
the very best of luck in all your
future endeavors. Write soor
again.
