be quite frank, Dribbles is just as
glad as you are. 1t is always a
real pleasure to learn that another

the average family has about two
to three of their own in the Ser

he had some three hundred and
fifty. Each week, through the
writing Of the column, Dribbles has
the enviable position of watching
the lives of our Boys and Girls un-
fold The result has been, that the
editor has formed personal inter
est in all of our entrants. During
the past year, many of these folks
have become real friends. And as
I pointed out few lines back,
Dribbles now finds himself with a
growing family and an interest that
is both understanding and sincere.
That is one of the big reasons why
he is always pleased when he finds
parents, brothers, sisters or friends,
who think kindly enough of the
boys and girlsl in the service of
their Country to keep their names
before the readers, so that they can
benefit most from the overall re-

can obtain. Please write in again
Mrs. Shockley whenever you have
news of interest for our readers.
Smyrna times., 1943-07-15

Yes! I believe that you really
are a friend Miss Genve Orzolek.
Ever since the day that you wrote
your first letter into this column,
you have stuck strictly to the
promise that you made. By the
way, it's about time that Frank
took his pen in hand to drop us a
line. How about stirring him up
again? Dribbles is very glad to
learn that Frank is getting some
enjoyment out of reading what the
other fellows are doing. Well
that's the big reason why we're
asking that he does his share of
the telling of what's going on in
this mans Army. No doubt he has
gathered together something to say
since he last wrote in. Yes! We
know that he is the retiring and
bashful type, however, we're count
ing on Army life changing all this.
The asst time Dribbles heard about
you Genve, he was told that you
expected to move over to Balti-
more. Is that still in the making,
or have you changed your mind ?
Dribbles don't want to lose all his
willing helpers to the lure of the
big cities. After all, good old Del
aware is mighty nice place in
which to live. Thanks for writing
in about your brother Frank, and
we'll be awaiting the next arrival,
knowing full well that you will in
form us when any changes take
place in your brothers address.
