FROM
Our Boys in Service
David c. Harrison Post, No. ID,
American Legion, and Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary.

American Legion Auxiliary.
Word has been received from Mr.
and Mrs. H. B. Coverdale, Clayton
that their son, P. F. c. Paul L
Coverdale, stationed at Fort Bragg
North Carolina, has been promoted
to motor Sergeant. The advance
in rating was made effective as Of
July End, 1912. Prior to Sergeant
Coverdale's present u. S. Army
career, he was employed by the
Buick Service Company, Baltimore
Maryland.
Good work PAUL. .Dribbles knows
that both Mother and Father are
mighty proud of your promotion
so are we. This also goes for a lot
Of your friends around this part OF
the country. We trust that your
parents are sending you The Smyr-
ma Times each week, in order &c
keep you posted on local happen
ings. Your letter, which was pub
lished in our column of July 18th
meant little to you unless you
read it. That is one of the big
reasons why Dribbles urges par
ents, and friends, to keep Our Boys
In The Service abreast of the news
Best of luck to you Sergeant Paul
L. Coverdale and Battery &c" OF
the 9th Field Artillery U. S. Army
We're looking forward to hearing
from you again in the near future
Under the date of July 10Th
word reached the column that our
old friend, Edward B. Everhart had
received his commission as End
Lieutenant in the U. S. Army Sig
nal Corps. Lieut.. ED" graduated
from the officers Training School,
at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey on
July 18th, 1912, and was granted a
ten-day furlough after his arduous
studies--or was that the reason
Dribbles has often heard of 1.-THE
Love Life Of a Sailor, The Love
Life Of Marine" and such-but
newer 1.-THE Love Life Of a Signal
man." This just goes to prove
that we do not keep up with the
times. Or could it be possible that
Dan Cupid has scoffed at union
hours, and is now working on an
overtime basis without thought of
extra compensation. Anyway, word
has reached this column to the eff
feet that Lieut.. Everhart was a
veyr busy young man during the
ten-day furlough. Here is the real
reason folks! Oh Boy! Oh Boy!
It's not only GRAND-it CLAM
CURIOUS, it's STUPENDOUS.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Fulmer Kelly
announce the marriage of their
daughter Mary Longaker Keely to
Edward Brown Everhart, Second
Lieutenant, Army of the United
States, on Saturday, the eighteenth
Of July one thousand nine hundred
and forty-two Wyncote, Pennsyl-
vania.
The present Mrs. Edward B..
Everhart formerly sang with her
husband in the choir at West Pres
byterian Church, Wilmington, Del
aware. Lieut.. Edward B. Ever
hart is now stationed at Drum
Field, Florida-his full address has
not been received to date. 1t will
appear later in this column. Mean
while, the very best of everything
to this newly married couple, says
Dibbles. May their future be filled
with happiness, despitee all OBJ
stacles that now appear before
them.
William Alvin Fretz, Co. H, TAO,
7th Regiment, @. M. T. c., is now
studying to be an army cook. When
his course is completed, Private
Fretz expects to be promoted to
the rank of Technical Sergeant.
Here's hoping you win your pro-
motion Pvt. Fretz.. Our Boys In
The Service can appreciate a good
cook any, and every, day in the
year. And while we are speaking
of those things that pertain to food,
Dribbles vividly recalls the old say
ing: That an army travels on its
stomach" But, it does not say a
thing about carrying a spare tire
just in case. That'll be up to you,
my boy. Maybe army regulations
cover this point??
