Hi fellow Thank a lot for the
picture. 1 understand if folks just
keep on reading The Smyrna Times
they may find out something more
about my good friend Corporal
Burke of Battery B, 445th c. A. Bn.
Is it true that you expect to have
another furlough back this way be-
fore the month is out? Could be,
you know. If what 1 hear is all
true, want to be one of the very
first. Mighty sorry that 1 missed
seeing you when you were around
the last time. 1 understand that
you intended calling back, but at
the last minute could not quite
make it. Thanks just the same
Burke for your god intentions.
By the way, Henry Shapley is
now down at Camp Davis. You
will find his address in the Service
Honor Roll this week. Perhaps
you will have the opportunity of
looking him up soon. You know
how it is Corporal when you first
arrive at Camp. Thanks again for
the picture Fred, and hoping to see
you again before very long. My
very best to you as always.
The Bronx, New York, NY.
Hello, there Dribbles:
1t would please me very much if
1 could only express the thrill that
1 experienced upon seeing my name
right there with the rest of the
Old Gang from the hometown. 1t
make me feel like real Cob" and
how!
All l can say so far that the
Navy is tops. 1t may be hard on
one at first, but it works a little
like some kinds of foods-just has
to grow on you.
We girls are quite proud of our
organization too. Our boot" camp
is almost the same as it is for the
boys, with the exception of guns.
Don't get me wrong. We do learn
about guns, but don't use them. I
can't understand why they wouldn't
trust us with them in our hands;
could you?
New York is a wonderful place,
I've head. I did manage to get
away one day for few hours, but
it soon ended and I was right back
here in the Bronx in platoon forma-
ton listening to the endless 'Hup-
one-two-three-four," "Pipe down"
"GangWay," KNOCK it off," etc.
I'm not so sure I'll ever be able to
talk real American again when
Navy slang" and the Bronx accent
have finished with me.
Time is getting short and before
long someone is going to scream
las only women CAM Muster for
chow" and I'll have to hurry out
the door, down the ladder" and on
the Quarterback" to be "hupped''
over to the mess hall. So until a
later date, I"n see you around
ometime before the war is over, /
hope.
miss everyone in Smyrna very
much and send my best wishes to
all my friends and fellow-service-
men.

This will acknowledge a letter re-

Gently. 1t was written in reference
to her son, Ronnie's, change of ad-
dress. However, since Pvt. Grier's'
own letter to us, published on April

LIST, covered the entire subject more
fully, we feel that his Mothers
wishes were fully carried out.
Thank you Mrs. Grier for keeping
Dibbles informed of your sons
movements. Whenever you have
news of either Ronnie or Bernie,
We'll be most pleased to have you
pass it along for our readers.

I. Who was it that aid God bless

Navy Nurses--we Americans are
proud of you all. For each and
everyone of you who have answered
your Country's call, we who remain
at home salute you.
And you must not ever forget, nc
matter where your travels may
take you, that Smyrna MISE you
ljut every bit as much as you may
miss Smyrna. We all wish you the
very best of luck in your most hon.
orable venture and trust that you
will get lot of valuable experience
from your period of enlistment
Dribbles wants you to make use OF
this column to visit with your
friends whenever you wish. So hi
