 $5OOO in jewelry was taken from the Wm. A. Schultz apartment located behind his place of busi- ness, the Shlp's Tavern, m mid- town on Wednesday evening, and despite efforts of police DO trace of the missing safe or it's contents had been found at weeks end. A reward of $2O0O cash has been offered by Wm. Schultz for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprits, or to the return of the money and jewelry.
 Numerous persons have been questioned by police as the re- suit of the various leads supplied them, but no arrests have been made.
 The jeweliy, mostly diamond rings, belonged to Mrs. Schultz. IOf the money $25,000 belonged to the Schultz and SS000 to Sal- ly Pearl daughter of Mrs. Schultz and owner of Sally's h. quor store Included in the loss was watch and $15C0 kept in the safe for another party.
 The robbery, the largest ever committed in Kodiak, occurred while the apartment was empty. Mrs. Schultz, Sally Pearl and her daughter, Marlene, left home at 8 that even ng to attend dinner at the c ub Montmarte. Schultz remained at the apartment until 8:35 and then went directly to the Cheechako club. The liz Int was left on in the apartment and the Venetian blinds were open. When Schultz returned just al CT the blackout at 10 the safe was gone. Entry had been made by climbing through a side window which was still open, and as near as can be constructed the safe was taken out the front door, a. cross the porch in front of the adjoining apartment, to car or truck parked next to the porch in the alley which passes back of the Orpheum theatre Mir. and Mrs. Cliff Lillethun were at the home in the adjoining apartment, but they report they heard no unusual noises.
 Immediately after the robbery was reported the search led to the waterfront on Marine way, where a skiff had been newly anchored that day and which was gone after the robbery. James Pierce, chief of police, and three men rowed to Near island and made thorough search of the beach there but nothing was found Questionings this week centered around car tracks dis covered in the alley behind the apartment.
 FIngerprints were taken at the scene ot the robbery by deputy U. $ Marshal Paul Herring, ard ldentlficatl1n ol JLem is being awaited.

Old Kriss will hold a leyee with
the little folks at Boehmler's every
day this week.
When parents and older brothers
and sisters bring home strange
looking bundles and will not show
what is in them, it certainly does
look very suspicious.
VIM. Denney Hazel, who moved
from Cecilton to this town last
week. brought portion of his
stock of store goods with him.
which he is selling off in the store
house on lower Main Street, which
Titus ]. Hobbs recently purchased
of Thomas E. Jefferson.
Christmas falling on Sunday this
year, will give the pulpit the op-
portunity to elaborate most appro-
priately on what the day commem-
crates as the greatest event in the
worlds history-the birth of Him
who came to redeem a fallen race
from sin, and bring life and i'm
mortality to light.
The snow of yesterday, under
the influence of still, frosty night.
sent the mercury down to 10 de-

ing the air decided wintry feel

rapidly during the morning under
the influence of a south wind. Up
till the present, December has been
too warm for the season.
The Literary Society at Walkers

Meetings are held Wednesday
night.
The protracted meeting, which
has been in progress at Severson's
Church the past three or four
weeks, has resulted in fair de-
gree of success in conversions, and
in quickening the membership. The
membership, in the absence of Rev.
Mr.. Stephenson, the pastor, from
sickness and in the face of bad
weather, ran the meeting last week
themselves. Presiding Elder Smith,

This letter was receivedby V Mail
just about the time this column was
goingto press. Dribbles thought
it would be nice to include it how
ever, so that Marshall's friends and
relatives would know that the boy
is doing fine in the first stages of
his new venture. 1t is just possible
that Marshall has now joined up
with other American units some
place abroad. Perhaps he is with
Our Boys who are doing such a
good follower on the North African
front. Nice going we would like
to remark. 1t is certainly COM
forting to know that this push is
moving forward with the greatest
possible speed, and sustaining the
smallest possible loss. Unfortun-
ately however, victory is never pur-
chased cheap. Marshall certainly
has the right spirit, and it takes
hearts like his to bring a crushing
defeat to our enemies. Good sail
ing and good. fighting Marshall.
The folks back home are very
proud of you and wish you just the
very best of everything. Best of
good fortune son. Write soon again.
Dribbles is always going to think
about you out in your new station.

from the lesson-sermon: Matt. A:
%, "a. And Jesus went about all
Galilee, teaching in their syna-
gogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all
manner of sickness and all manner
of disease among the people. "a.
And his fame went throughout all
Syria: and they brought unto him
all sick people that were taken
with divers diseases and torments,
and those which were possessed
with devils, and those which were
lunatick, and those that has the
palsy; and he healed them. Cor
relative from the textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Our Master healed the sick, prac-
tised Christian healing, and taught
the generalities of its divine Prin-
ciple to his students; but he left no
definite rule for demonstrating this
Principle of healing and preventing
disease. This rule remained to be
discovered in Christian Science.
Divine metaphysics is now reduced
to system, to form comprehen-
sible by and adapted to the thought
of the age in which we live. This
system enables the learner to DEM
onstrate the divine Principle, upon
which Jesus healing was based, and
the sacred rules for its present ap-
plication to the cure of disease.

Dear Editor of Dribbles:
Just a few lines to let you know
that 1 have passed through my
first week of training ok" will
have to wait until February 18th
before I get the opportunity to
make trip home. Of course, it
could be sooner, then again it could
be later-nothing is really sure in
the Navy. Our company is the
first since the start of the war that
has planned that long a training
period, but guess that it is all for
the best.
Right now it is showing hard out
side. Along with the snow, the
wind is blowing -seems to me just
like a regular blizzard. You know,
we have these in Smyrna about
once each year. The snow is six
inches deep now, and it has only
been falling since noon. One thing
that I have taken notice OF, the

On High Seas
Dear Dribbles and Friends:

l
Dear Dribbles and Friends:
Hello everybody! Well, am on
ship andstarted on my way to
what is calleda secret destination.
We have beene powing through the
waves for several days. Yesterday
we hit a storm, but am proving to
be quite q good sailor. l haven't
even felt like being seasick. The
trip is good fun, along with being
trifie uncomfortable. The word
has been passed around to where
we are headed for, but all can say
is that our jumping off place will
be in some spot in this world where
the climate will be a bit warmer
than it has beenwith me for the
past severalmonths. You folks will
be able to read more in the news
papers than Iwould be permitted to
write. I guess it is always that
way. Before boarding this ship, I
had noidea that there was so much
water in this world. Ordinary soap,
such aswe use at home, is no good
to wash with in the kind of water
we are allowed. 1t gets all gummy
and sticks to your fingers. More
later.
Everybody's friend,
Pud.

FROM
Our Boys in Service
David c. Harrison Post, No. IA,
American Legion, and Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
Dale Mabry Field
Tallahassee, Florida

Dear DribbleS and Mr.. Wood:
1 want to thank you very much
for sending along the names of Pvt.
Edward B. Wood and his brother
Pvt. Nessie S. Wood that 1 request
ed in my last letter to you. This
brought good results, for already /
have received a letter from both of
these boys. This is one of the big
reasons why I enjoy your column.
BY reading it, I can quickly find out
where most of my Service friends
from both Clayton and Smyrna are
located. No matter where they
are, whether they be stationed in
side or outside of this great Coun-
try, | want to wish them all good
luck" I hope we can all get to-
gether after this war is over after
our battles have been won, and this
world made free once more.
| notice, that since Sgt. Paul L.
Coverdale sailed away from the
States, he has become quite a poet.
More power to him. I will enioy
reading any and all future poems
that he sends you. Mother sends
me The Smyrna Times each weeke
sind the first thing h lock for Is the
Dribbles column. 1t is interesting
to learn what the Boys are doing,
and what new names are appear
ing in your Service Honor Holl, all
of which are doing their bit for
their Countrywide United States
of America-the best land in which
anyone could ever hope to live.
In closing, want to say once
more, hurrah for Delaware, the
First State, and additional hurrahs
for all the other Fortyl-Seven Stat
es in the Union. As Delawarean
and Claytonian, l am proud to
live in America, the Land of the
Free and the Brave.
.s.,s Your friend,
Pvt. F. c. Louis D. Hurd

Once again Louis, it is a pleasure
to hear from you. Dribbles and all
of your friends are glad to know
that you are getting along SO nice
ly down there in the sunny South.
We have been looking forward to
seeing you up this way during the
past several weeks. What happen
ed to the furlough that you expect
ed to get? 1t would be wonder
full surprise for your Mother to see
you drop in on her for the Christ
mas Holidays. That is one time in
the year that all Mothers like to
have their sons and daughters
home. Of course, we all realize
only too well, that fighting war
has forced many of us to change
our desires about many things.
The big task before all of us, is to
put our shoulders against the wheel
and help to win this war in the
shortest time possible. Concentrat-
ed effort throughout the year 1943
may change the entire picture by
the time Christmas 1943 rolls
around. Best of luck Louis. Here's
hoping that you will get up this
way before long. 1t will be nice
seeing you again.

THE POST WAY

AAAA OkO4 Wal
The streamlined Saturday Even
ing Post, which may eventually
drop the first two words, may not
accept articles answering the
Mayer article-but its first issue
in the new formal has a short
story by Richard Wormser, an
article by Erie Kaufman, a story
by Maurice Zolotow on Harry
Frankel, Singing SAM, a post
script by w. E. Farbstein and a
Memorial Day poem by Robert D.
Abrahams-not to mention a Wig
orous editorial denouncing isola-
tionism After all, it's better
to give Jews jobs than to discuss
why Jews don't get them.
1T COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
The New York Daily News,
with a huge Jewish circulation,
has a Washington correspondent,
John O'D0nnell, who was accused
several years ago of an anti
Semitic slant by Edmond Taylor,
former Chicago Tribune Paris
correspondent, and now attached
to tine Donovan Committee {.
In attacking the MacLeish Office
of Facts and Figures, O'DOnneIl
called attention to the fact that
Leo C. Roster is getting $4,000
a year from the OFF. O'DOnald
ignores that Roster turned down
better-pand work in order to help
the OFF He also attacks
Philip Henry Cohen, ex-directOr of
New York radio activities for the
Federal Office of Education as a
"MacLeish Fusilier." And
how Congressman Claire e. HOff-
man of Michigan Tapped up the
stuff as he read it to Congress to
shift attention from his own pre-
and pOst-Pearl HarbOr record.
GRATEFUL
Among those who shed a tear
when Graham McNamee died was
Bill Stern, air and screen sports
announcer Stern remembers
that the late dean of announcers
gave him his first chance on the
big-tine and taught him how to
do a Job Ten years ago Bill
hung around NBC until he got
promise that he would be allowed
two minutes on the air in an open
ing game between Navy and
William and Mary 1t was no
score going into the last quarter.
McNamee watched until Navy
was on the two-yard line, then
pushed Stern in front of the mike.
1T was a cinch," says Stern.
Navy plowed over for the touch
down, the crowd yelled and every
thing was great. Anybody would
have sounded swell and Graham
knew it." But that's how Bill
oot started.
