Hello Dribbles:

Hello Dribbles:
I would like to have my Hus-
bands address entered in the Ser
vice Honor Roll. 1t would be very
nice if his friends would write to
him while he is in the Service. AS
you perhaps know, all the Boys In
The Service enjoy receiving letters
from folks they leave back home
Richards address is: Pvt. Richard
L. Cochran, 1134th T. S. S. (S.P.),
Flight 428, MAN Beach, Florida.
Thank you,
Mrs. Richard L. Cochran

good chow.
Strange as it may seem to you,
there are no Delaware boys in my
outfit. 1 do see Calvin Boggs from
Cheswold quite frequently, and we
pal around together. All the offic-
ers and men are a swell bunch, and
you won't find better crowd of
Marines anywhere in this world.
1 have learned through Dribbles
that most of my friends are now in
the Service. 1 guess before 1 ar
rive back in Smyrna, there will be
quite number of others who will
enter the armed forces. 1 was very
glad to read that Lieut.. Richard G.
Price is back in town. 1 tried to
find his ship ever since 1 landed out
in this part of the world, but I
could never locate it. Several of
the Boys write to me regularly.
Between these letters, the mail 1
receive from Mother and The
Smyrna Times, am pretty well
posted on the local news.
Before 1 close off, 1 want to
thank everyone who sent me pack
ages and cards for Christmas. I
certainly was surprised in a most
agreeable manner, and appreciate
deeply the thoughtfulness of my
friends at home. 1 hope you will
convey this message to them for
me. I think they will understand
why 1 did not answer them at the
time.
1 guess that this is about all for
the present, however, 1 hope to be
able to write again before long
To all the Smyrna Boys, now in
the Service, l wish each and every
one of them the very best of luck.
Keep those letters rolling into
Dribbls; they mean a lot to all of
us.
Yours,
Ray E. Smith, USING

Well, young man, the arrival of
your letter was indeed a pleasant
surprise. Ray, you can spring
these kind of surprises just any
time you would like-they will al
ways be welcome. One thing sure,
your outfit has indeed earned their
much needed rest, and all the other
nice things that usually goes with
it. The LIST Marines have made a
great name for themselves in this
war. Everybody back here in the
States is mighty proud of you.
Your action there in the Pacific,
was the first real offensive move to
be made by any organized group of
our armed forces. Since that time,
other aggressive action has taken
place, and the final results so far
have been most favorable. From
now on, the road back won't be
easy travelling, however, we all feel
trre.-r 1nerrr vii. surely bel
ours-it is mainly a matter of time.
Ray, Dribbles knows that he is ex-
pressing the sentiments of our en-
tire community when he passes the
word to you that we're all very |
glad that you came through this
first ordeal safely. Your Mother is
indeed thankful - that should go
without mentioning it. We hope
that you will have the opportunity
to write in soon again. Meanwhile,
the very best of everything to you
my friend, and may good fortune
smile on you constantly. Good 60
ing Ray.

Dear Sir:
I am a reader of The Smyrna
Times, and 1 think it is very nice
paper for all the Boys In The Ser
vice; especially those from the vi
entity of Smyrna.
My Mother sends me the paper
regularly, andI find the column
which you call Dribbles is very in
teresting. 1t gives you good idea
of where the Boyls are, and how
they are getting along. 1t sure is
swell to know that the Boys are do
ing so well and some of them hold
ing such high ranks. The Della
ware men who have seen action so
far, have come off with flying col
prss Let's hope that the rest of us
will do as well when our time
comes.
I understand from some of my
friends that Smyrna has the mill
running, and that a number of
Southern girls are working there.
I imagine that the folks in Smyrna
are learning a lot about the way
Southern people talk, such as you
all" and indeed So" During the
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1943-03-11

Thank you Miss Biddle for send
ing us your Brothers address. AL
though we were not able to publish
your letter prior to this date, we
did print your Brothers address in
the Service Honor Roll column I'M
der the date of February 18th. We
hope that his friends have seen this
address and have written George a
number of letters since that date.
Please keep in mind, that Dribbles
is handling quite a lot of mail these
days, and of necessity, everyone is
placed in Notwithstanding to
date of arrival. One thing that
don't wait, however, is addresses.
These go in right up to press time.
Hope you will understand. Yes!
Do keep Dribbles informed of your
Brothers address each and every
time his station or rating is chang
ed. Thanks Miss Eta Biddle.

Thanks very much for the ad-
DRESS, both Ann and John. Drib-
Fbles feels that Mrs. Ann Clough is
certainly doing her share to help
keep this column going. In our is
sue of January 28th we thanked her
for sending us the addresses of her
Brother and Husband. This proves,
beyond a doubt, that this young
lady is quickly making herself one
of our loyal friends. And a friend
is always welcome. The more of
these we have at home, the more
information Dribbles can publish
for Our Boys In The Service. At
ter all, that's what really counts.
1t is for their benefit that we want
news and addresses coming through
On time. Thanks Ann for doing
your part. Come again, you'll find
the door open to you always.

Thanks Mrs. Steele for sending

Good going Howard. Dribbles
was very much pleased to receive
your letter. Here's hoping that
everything is still going smoothly
with your outfit. Howard, some of
your friends must have misunder-
stood the true reason why so many
of the Southern girls made the trip
North and located themselves here
in Smyrna. 1t was not because of
The Mill here in Smyrna at all.
Over in Elkton, Maryland the
Triumph Explosive, Inc, are hand
ling a number of large contracts
for various items of their manufac-
ture. In order to obtain women
workers they have advertised for
help over a rather wide area. AS
the results of this program, quite a
number of Southern girls and wo-
men have obtained work there.
Since the housing problem is acute
in the Elkton, Maryland section,
Triumph Explosive, Inc, have es-
tablished buss service to the sur
rounding towns; Smyrna is listed
an this group. The Colonial Hotel
is now being used practically ex-
clusively for employees of the Tri-
umph Explosive, Inc, and a number
of the residents of both Clayton
and Smyrna are renting rooms to
these folk. The result is, that in
this area we have several hundred
of girls from West Virginia an6
points South, who are making theil
homes with us. Some of these folk
are getting married to the young
men here, some are what you might
term as transits, and no doubt
there are others who may make
this their permanent residence
Trust that this bit of explanation
will set you right, my friend, and
thanks for the littel visit you made
with us. Dribbles trusts that you
will return again soon, perhaps by
that time the strict censorship may
be lifted, and that you will be in a
position to tell your friends more
about yourself. Meanwhile, those
of you who know Howard, now is
the time to get out yur pens and
paper-since Inward is quite some
distance from these parts of the
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1943-03-11

Dear Mr.. Will:
1t must seem to you, that in the
long months which have passed,
I've forgotten you. The truth is
very much the contrary. We keep
on the move so very much, it is ac-
tually problem to try and get all
of my writing finished.
Sincerely, my hopes are that you
are very well, and find life in this
world of chaos an extreme pleasure.
1 trust that you may enjoy many
more years of happiness when this
mess is all over.
My work here is swell. I am a
machinist, and 1 have complete
charge of a Mobile Machine Shop.
At times we put in long hard hours.
1t is work like this that keeps up
our morale. This does not allow us
too much idle time in which to
think of home.
Either during the month of
March or April I will be home to
see Mother, and you can bet your
last dollar I'm more than anxious
to make this trip. 1 shall be happy
to run by and see you again also.
My time is short, so must close.
Please extend my best regards to
everyone there, and take good care
of yourself.
Sincerely,

keep writing often to these men.
Your letters will mean much to
them throughout their entire period

will be more worried about how you

they will be about their own lot.
Don't forget this. Our Boys will

would help. Each week you could
gather together your list of ad-

stimulate news for this column, and
keep change of addresses coming

you would furnish any new names

we'll of the idea, Dribbles will Slip
out to Kenton some evening, by ap-
