ton of Smyrna. Thank you very
much Mrs. Pleasanton for the fine
attitude you have towards sharing
your happiness with others. The
Sergeant is lucky to have such a
mother. Then too, you are lucky
to have such a son. It's mighty
nice to see things work out like
this. Best of everything to both
of you folks. Dribbles hopes that
you will be entering into a very
happy New Year together-though
apart. 1t will be nice seeing you
when you return Sergeant. Mean
while, both Thumbs Up.

Dearest Mother:
Received your very lovely gifts.
Thanks million. With them came
some of that old Christmas spirit
that l have been missing. At one
time, not so very long ago, I had
hopes of being home for this
Christmas, but it didn't come
through that way. 1 still hope to
get back to the States before long.
This would enable me to see you all
again.
I received more presents this
year than any other that I have
spent in the Service. Why do you
suppose this happened? The war?
certainly do appreciate every
card, letter, package and note that
received. It's a swell feeling to
know that there are so many
friends on the outside who still re-
member you after being away for
such length of time.
l have made out an allotment for
one $500 War Bond a month to
be sent to you. Besides this, I have
several others here. So far, these
are the only tangible things that 1
have to show for the time that
have spent in this mans Army. |
From now on I am going to buy
every War Bond that 1 can. 1t will |
be a help to Uncle Sam, also an /
easy way for me to save money.
Perhaps, when 1 am discharged |
from the Service, money may be
one of thte scarce items.
Over here it is rather expensive
for a soldier to enjoy himself on
his time off unless he knows some
one over in town. happen to be
one of thte fortunate ones in this
I know a fellow by the
name of Reggie Clutterbuck. He has
a radio program on our station |
here. Reggie is lot of fun. He
also has very nice wife who is a
swell cook. I spend most of my
passes at the Clutterbuck home.
They certainly are fine people, and |
hope to spend my Christmas with
them. Reggie is strictly English, al
ways saying "Cheerio" and
Thumbs Up" You couldn't help
but like these folks. Mrs. Clutter
bucks grst name is Elizabeth. She
has told me several times, that as
long as 1 am here, 1 must make
my home with them. 1 surely do
this. Not from the |
angle of finances either. 1 don't |
have to walk the streets like
many of our soldiers have to do, |
and waste all my pay on cheap
Well, I must close now, so give
all my love to everyone.
Merry Christmas and lots of love
to you,

this year 1943, the quicker this war
will end.
This is the crucial year. Let's
all do our part now to make this a
better world in which to live. A
united effort by all during the next
twelve months ahead, may be the
means of saving thousands and
thousands of lives-both for Our
Boys and among the conquered
peoples of Europe and Asia. Let's
do and do and do till it really
hurts. Meanwhile, keep up the
flow of letters to Our Boys In The
Service. The further they are
away from you, the greater the
need. Write, write, write, then
write just one more.
Over the holidays some outstand-
ing truths have been uncovered
concerning number of Our Boys
addresses in the Honor Roll file.
Some of Our Boys have never had
a change of address from the time
they entered the service. After the
initial address showing that they
reported to the 1229th Reception
Center at Fort Dix, N. j., no furth-
er changes, noting their move
ments, have been sent through to
Dribbles. In view of these facts,
it has been deemed advisable to
start a new section in this column,
commencing this week. The newly
established section will be headed
INFORMATION PLEASE. Names
will be listed under this heading in
alphabetical order. Any reader of
The Smyrna Times, knowing the
ppresent whereabouts of the Ser
vice men whose name appears in
this manner is requested to pass
their knowledge along to Dribbles.
1t is to be hoped that the reading
ppublic will heartily cooperate
with the editor in an effort to bet
ter inform Our Boys In The Service
as to the present location of these
men. So here goes for start.

And so Louis did make the trip
up North after all. Well That
was just fine for all you folks, Mrs.
Hurd. However, it is not one bit
nicer than the attitude you have
taken in regards to your son being

Dribbles hopes that many other
Mothers feel the same way about
their sons who are serving under
Stars and Stripes.
Sitting quietly at home and wait
ing is many times a hard part to
play in war time. However, there
is the alternative these days. There
is so much to be done for our Coun-
try in the way of volunteer service
by the women of our great land,
that they need not sit at home any
longer. They too can help to end
this war as quickly as possible by
supporting the many worthwhile
movements to which they should
lend their aid. The more we all
get behind our Government during

have talked extensively in the last few
weeks with aeronautical engineers, aviation
industry leaders and interested government
officials Adding opinions together, boil
ing down, and making due allowance for
doubts and differences, this seems to be
today's picture of postwar aviation:
l. The family air f1ivver and utility bus
for short hops will be the helioopter. or some
similar direct-lift machine.
Z. The commercial machine for passenger
and cargo air service will be the Flying Wing.
There will probably be many adaptations oft.
;. The conventional airplane, as we know
it today, will continue to be built for some
years, while the helicopter and the Flying
Wing are proving themselves; but - assum-
ing they do prove themselves - it will grad
ually become obsolete, except, perhaps, for
small sports models and trainers. Of course,
some industry leaders doubt this, but Flying
Wing enthusiasts firmly believe it.
This Flying Wing is a strange looking con-
uaption to eyes not yet accustomed to it.
Seeing it in the air, you might almost think
that desk or bureau or magic carpet had
suddenly taken notion to fly. But if it's
safe bet that you'll use helicopter for COM
muting and touring after the war, it's safer
one if anything, that you'll make your cross
country flights and hops abroad in Flying
Wing.
Despite its futuristie appearance. the thing
isn't really as revolutionary as you might
think. 1t is only the realization of goal
toward which aeronautical engineers have

fuel tank alongside. The Wrights did not con-
template putting additional load into fuse
lage, as the machine was further perfected;
they thought the load would be distributed
out over the wing structure.
Presently. however, somebody thought
the pilot ought to have Windshield in front
of him, for protection. This soon evolved
into cabin. The cabin grew longer and longer
= and the airplane began to develop along
the lines which eventually gave us our present
day machines.
But the idea of the Flying Wing was
not forgotten or abandoned. In 1910, Pro
fessor Junkers got German patent on
whaleback airplane - with cargo and passen-
ger accommodations within the wing. That,
in fact, was the origin of the Junkers Aircraft
Company, though the professor never really
built the machine that he dreamed up. Al
least, he hadn't built it up to the time that
Germany stopped keeping us informed.
In England, about the same time. Lieu

windmill overhead lifts you into the air. You
fly over to the airport, park the helicopter,
buy your ticket and get aboard the CONNER
cial plane.
But what plane! 1t is like nothing you
have ever yet seen in the air. Instead of a
fuselage supported by wings, it is just one
huge wing. As much as anything, it might
be a metallic reproduction of some flying
reptile of the age of dinosaurs.
As you step inside, you find commodious,
even luxurious quarters. Plenty of room for
comfortable lounge chairs, a restaurant COM
partment, an observation cabin By compari-
son with the planes in which we have been
flying up to now, the space from side to side

HIGHT now today, both the helicopter and
the Flying Wing are actualities. You have
heard more about the helicopter in recent
months than about the Flying Wing. because

The fact is that even what the Wright

the ittle-understood problems of aerody-
namics, they found they had to add their
structure of struts and guys, and stick the

The Scoreboord
BY RUSS RICHESON

Insofar as the general course
which labor must pursue today,
it is clear that we must approach
the foreign and domestic problems
which confront us from the angle
of its political effects nationally,
and also from the viewpoint of
strengthening the national unity
in support of our commander-in-
chief.
A Sober Estimate
In considering the forms and
avenues for developing political
action, the question arises-has
, 1943-09-02
Threat to Unity

That the threat to the nations
unity still exists and that the de-
featists were able to provoke these
crises, shows that labor was in
adequately prepared to fulfill its
role with the clarity, unity and
decisiveness that the war de-
mands. The fact that all of labor
did not quickly adopt a correct
position on the crucial executive
order of the roll back, the Pep
per- -Kigore Bill and the
Smith Conally Bill was a major
weakness that opened the door for
the defeatist drive to shatter la
boris support for the war.
Problems of the Trade Unions
Labor not only supports the
Roosevelt administration, it is in
a true sense a part of the ad-
ministration. The existence of the
Roosevelt government and its war
program depends first of all upon
what labor says and does. There
fore, labor should have an active
position on all issues and should
more firmly insist upon being
adequately represented in all war
agencies, especially in the cabinet.
This is all the nor necessary
in view of the fact that wages,
conditions and relations with the
employer are not determined by
direct negotiations with the en-
ployers alone, but on the basis oi
the established policies of the gov
eminent and the manner in which

to bring? The answer to these
questions is, yes and no.
The defeatist forces have sue
ceeded in provoking situations in
which the course of the war eff
fort has been dependent upon the
stand of labor. If the President of
the United States had been unable
to rely upon the patriotic sup
port of important sections of or
ganized labor it would have been
impossible for the government to
ever begin to cope with the coal
crisis. However, the handling of
the coal situation by the President
might have been of a more firm
nature if the entire labor move

New Methods

New Methods
Thus we see that new formulas
and methods must be applied in
solving our wartime problems. In
no case is this more true than in
connection with the question of
unions and production. Greater
emphasis must be placed upon
reaching the mass of workers,
both old and new, through shop
and department meetings, steward
councils, the trade union press,
and other forms.
In wartime the need for the
active support of the rank and file
is not less but greater, and it is
also more difficult to achieve be-
cause different forms of activity
are required and the organized
strength of the workers exerted
in a new manner, especially in
greater political initiative and ac-
tivity.
