travelled over many of the Revolu-
tionary and Civil War battle fields.
In the course of these journeys he
has seen many tombs and monu-
ments erected in honor of our he
roic dead. Perhaps the most beau
tiful monuments, as group, in the
United States are located in honor
of our war dead on the battle field
at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There
are many other outstanding men,
orials that could well be mentioned
at this time, but only two that
seem to ring the bell to the inner
regions of the mind and heart, they
are the tomb of The Unknown
Soldier at Washington, D. C. and
the John Paul Jones cript, located
at Annapolis, Maryland.
Nelson, for all we may know
many of our present day Naval
and Army heroes carry with them
the same fighting spirit that has
always led this Country on to final
victory. Even though we cannot
all be John Paul Jones', we can
carry in our hearts his spirit, and
prove to the world at large, that
this is America land of free
brave men.
Let's hear from you Sailor. And
how about the new girl friend you
added to your list before departing
North-North West? I understand
that she is doing quite a good job
of writing. Could it be that the
young lady is just taking mother
ly interest in you at this time :?
Sailor, Dribbles thought you were
immune until just recently, but it
would now seem otherwise. Well!
She was looking quite fit the last
time I was talking with her Now
don't write back and ask me which
one. That would be just too much
to stand up under after the first
shock. Good luck Nelson. AS the

Announcement that hence
forth the U. S. o. clubhouse
at Smyrna is to be open daily
from 2 p. m. shows that what
the people of the town are do
ing to entertain their military
and naval guests is appreciat-
ed. This is indicated by the
growing volume of attendance
at the center and the result
ing increase in it's activities.
The clubhouse is, indeed, an
interesting place. 1t is at
tracing many townspeople as
well as members of the armed
forces. 1t is a scene OF con-
tinued events which reflect
the hospitality of the com.

FROM
FROM
Our Boys and Girls
in the Service
David c. Harrison Post, No. IA,
American Legion, and Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary.

Unitd States Naval Trng. Station
Great Lakes, Illinois
Dear Dribbles:
1 arrived here and was accepted
in the U. S. Navy at Green Bay, a
part of the Great Lakes Naval
School, on Friday, the oath of Sep
tember. After spending one night
here, was examined, issued my
gear and clothing, then transferred
to Camp Dewey
There are one hundred and forty
six in our Company, sixteen of us
are from Delaware, and the re-
mainder coming from all over the
u. S. A Most of the Boys are
young, having just completed High
School, with the exception of about
fifteen of us who ar over twenty
five years of age. All in all, we
are about as happy a gang as there
are here.
AS for activities, it has been
mostly drilling, this lasting for five
to six hours day. Every other
evening there is a show, or some
activity going on. Those not wish
ing to participate in these arrang-
ed programs can go to the Canteen
or the library. The library is quite
up to date, as much so as any you
can find on the outside.
One of the weekly programs is
what we call Happy, Happy Hour
This is musical entertainment put
on by one or the other of the diff
ferent Companies here. Quite a
number of these entertainers who
are serving here in Boot Camp, are
fellows who have played in top
ranking orchestras and theatres all
over the u. S. A. It's real enter
tainment, the like of which perhaps
some of the Boys have never seen

name of John Paul. The name of
Jones was added at later date.
The exploits of John Paul Jones
were both brilliant and inspiring to
the service. Many noted historians
choose to trace the beginning of
the now unsurpassed United States
Navy, back to the untiring efforts
of this young officer. Following
the close of the Revolutionary War,
John Paul Jones left this country
and served with both the French
and the Russian Navies. He died
in Paris in the year 1892, under un-
favorable circumstances, and was
buried there. Later, his body was
brought back to the United States
and laid in its final resting place in
a cript, under the Chapel at the
u. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis,
Maryland.
The life of John Paul Jones is
very interesting, disclosing many
factors which so often enter into a
public career. Some of these facts
are much better left unmentioned.
However, despite what had happen
ed in the passing interval, a better
disposed United Sttaes Government
finally recognized the brave deeds
and invaluable accomplishments of
John Paul Jones, then deceased.
This resulted in having the remains
of the once famous officer returned
to our country, where long over
due homage and honors could be
Justly rendered.
Dribbles' has visited the cript of
John Paul Jones at Annapolis,
Maryland. 1t was a trip never to
be forgotten. Perhaps many other
Americans have the same opinion
in regards to this event. How well
do I remember walking down the
flight of stone steps leading to this
hero's tomb. And, as you neared
the resting place of John Paul
Jones remains, new and awe in
spring feeling seemed to steal over
you. You simply cannot describe
this kind of a feeling. On must ex-
perience it to realize its effect. Fin
ally you come to stop directly in
front of this U. S. Naval hero's last
resting place. Here complete sill
ence is both requested and observ-
ed. You stand there for lapse of
Itime-meanwhile this unexplain-
able mental reaction has set in
more strongly. Eventually you turn
away and quietly mount the stairs,
but not before you have absorbed
something that you will always
carry with you through life.
Were you asked what it is, you
cannot give intelligent answer,
but you know that it is there. If
you try later to analize your own
personal feelings as a rsult of this
trip, you find it just as impossible.
Crazy, you might say. You only
walked down a flight of stone steps,
gazed upon several pieces of stone
in the flooring and a marker, then
walked up again. Yes! In reality
| you have done just this very thing
but there was a lot more that hap
. pened. In some silent manner it
/ seemed as if you have been holding
a communion between God, the
spirit of John Paul Jones and your
self as the humble third party
Sailor, just ask any of the Boys
who have visited the tomb of John
Paul Jones. Unless Dribbles miss
es his guess, they will tell you
Here lies the spirit of the U. s.
Navy.
During the days of my youth
now many moons ago, your editor

Dear Dribbles:
Just to let you know that Jacks
address has been changed this past
week. Here it is: William Q. Rob-
inson, SIC, D. E. 634 N. T. s., Nor
folk, IL, Virginia.
Jack will be here a short while
longer; after that he no doubt will
be going places. He will write you
later and let you know more
about it. I am so glad that both
of us had the opportunity to return
to Smyrna recently, because it may
be a long time before Jack will see
his mother and the rest of his fam
lily.
I've been down here since Au-
gust 10Th, and 1 will stay on as
long as Jack is, stationed at this
port. Then I guess I'll come back
to Smyrna for a while and make
my home with Jacks mother.
Jack may be a bit slow in an
swering letters, but know he'll be
more than glad to hear from his
old friends at any time.
Sincerely,

Ralph, it has indeed been a real
pleasure hearing from you. Thanks
a lot for taking care of letter to
Nelson. The fact that it just man.
aged to get through on time, with
nothing to spare, was o. Kit did
get through, thanks to you, and
that was the big thing of the mo-
ment.
Sailor Boy, Dribbles would like
to remark on your attitude towards
your new duties. You certainly
have the right slant and should
help you a lot to make good in the
Navy. It's big outfit. They
have their ways of doing things,
based on years of experience. You
either fit in, or you're outside in
the cold. No better bunch of Boys
in this wide world, once you get
the right understanding, and it
looks like you're starting off with
your right foot forward. Here's
hoping that you will go places and
do things-that when you come
back from this mans war, you'll be
much better off from your associa-
tions and experiences, than you
would have been otherwise.
Don't forget, all during your SER
vice career, Dribbles wants you to
keep in touch with him and this
column. Write in from time to time
and let all your friends know how
you are making out. Well always
be most interested to get the low

Due to heavy mails, at-times, youl
letters may not be published i'm.
mediately, but we'll always reach
them in their turns. The next time
you write, please let Dribbles know
if you are getting The Smyrna

help out if they are so disposed
So be sure you pass the word bacl
promptly. Waiting to hear from
you Ralph, and wishing the best o.

Good going, friend.

Dear Dribbles:
This is a note from the Present
Navy to the Ex-Navy. It's great
life, isn't it? Every day it seems
to improve.
Now to get down to brass tacks.
I was up before the qualification
officer yesterday. He seemed to
be very much impressed by the let
ters of recommendation received. 1
have three courses open before me.
Twill not have any choice in the
final decision, but I will either be
sent to sea after I finish my Boot
Training, be sent to Service
School, or get rating. The latter
I doubt very much. Whatever the
future may hold for me, I will
know that 1 have had good friends
pulling for me.
Now for some of our schedules.
| Up at $50 a. M; chow at $50,
then cleaning detail. This is fol-
lowed by drill and lectures. At
11:30 a. m. chow again followed by
short smoking period until 1870
or 1880 Navy time. More drills
and so on until 80 or 1880, then
chow for the third time that day.
More cleaning and washing, with
Taps at $50 or 2130. Some day,
what!
How is everything going back at
Wilson Cabinet Company? 1 am
looking forward to the end of this
war and then cming back to work
with all the boys there. That will
certainly be a great day for all of
us.
Sincerely,

Well, Nelson! So the young
man from Cheswold did finally ar
rive at the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, all full of pep
and raring to go. Fine! That's the
true Navy spirit. And, by the way,
Sailor, there is that indescribable
something which is known as the
Navy spirit. 1t might be timely to
pass the word along to you, be-
tween watches, so that you will
know the real thing the moment
you meet up with it.
