column because this has been voic-
ed many times before, by other
Home Town boys. And, although
my home may not be in Smyrna, l
have practically the same reactions
as the Smyrna fellows. My father
has often said that spent most of
my time in Smyrna-he should
know since he was my boss" be-
fore Uncle Sam took over.
Bob" Bell wrote you about the
times we had when we met up out
here. 1 believe his letter gave you
pretty much the genral ida. And,
if 1 know Smyrna at all well, that
is everything you needed.
Bob" hoped that my stay at
Wendover Field would not be as
long as his had been. Up to the
present, 1 think our time out here
rates about equal. 1 have three
more weeks of school, and then
don't know just what. Cranky, I
might know, but what would my
Uncle say if 1 were to tell you?
Hi! Hill
1 am afraid that 1 must agree
with "Spec" Ennis about The
Smyrna Times. Before Dribbles
started, it appeared to me that the
contents were of little interest to
any person under fifty. Now the
story is entirely different. Not a
word gets by me, even including
News of Fifty Years Ago"
Now about this wonderful coun-
try we have out here. If you do
not think it is wonderful, ask"Bob"
Bell about it. At times, the Utah
Salt Flats very much resemble the
ocean in appearance, but really it
is not at all as bad as it may seem.
1 am quite sure of one thing
There never will be shortage of
salt in this country like there is
sugar" Quote me. There is GER
tainly plenty of this needful sea-
soning out here. So if anyone hap
pens to run short of the stuff, just
make trip out to this part of the
country-there is plenty for all
and I mean ALL.
1 notice that it is now 11.30 PM,
far past my bed time. 1t has al
ways been regular habit for me
to retire early. If you doubt my
word, just ask Speed Gebhart
about it. He'll tell you that I've
always enjoyed plenty of rest when
1 was back home.
If it is permitted, would like to
make a few corrections concerning
a recent issue of your Honor Roll.
SO here goes.
My brother and / have had many
Brotherly Love Scraps over his
name. Edward has no middle in
itial attached to his name, whereas,
my middle initial is "W" and not
"H'. ("W' as in Wilds.) Again,
there is the matter concerning our
last name. We do not have but
one IN" in it-this is placed at the
end.
BY the way, like most of Amer
lea, we have a shortage of rubber
out here. Do you know where we
could find some?

Well! Well! Well! Who would

the U. S. A.-or any other country
for that matter. Had they done so,
their lines would have been some
thing like this-'It is three hun

Hutch" you write that there is
a definite shortage of rubber out
Wendover way. That 'Taint the
way Dribbles heard it. 'Tis said
that whenever good looking girl
walks past a group of Air Corps
men in Wendover, there is plenty
of rubber. Course Dribbles could
have been mistaken.
Thanks for the corrections as ap-
piled to the family name, and
brothers lack of a middle initial.
Dribbles welcomes such interest in
all matters that will be helpful to
