Gather round, all you who are

Melvin-you know the sailor boy
who holds down the job of store
keeping in his Uncle's Navy. Now,
it appears that his rapid advance in
rating has been due to Bills ability
to add up figures just little bet
ter than the other fellow. Well, he
started off in this war as the one
and only Bill. Next he expanded
that one and only to the two and
only "Bill' Melvins. And now he's
gone and made it the three and
only Bill Melvins, which includes a
bouncing baby girl-yes! 1 said
bouncing-all eight pounds of deli
cate sweetness and love. And is
Bill the proud FATHER? Well,
you can bet your life he is. Bill
almost faced a Deck Court for be-
ing absent from his post the day
after his little daughter was born.
And where do you think they fin
ally found him? He was way
down in the forward part of the
ship, with the water-tight door
closed behind him shouting Daddy!
Daddy! Daddy! so that he could
hear the echo bounding back from
the bulkhead, which were on all
four sides of him. At first his ship
mates thought that he was a bit
off in the head, then the truth
dawned upon them, and they said
yes, the same thing that Dribbles
wants to say. Good luck Mr.. and
Mrs. Bill Melvin and the new head
of the family" Here's wishing all
three of you the very best in the
world. It's mighty comforting to
learn that both the mother and the
child are doing nicely. Please give
them Dribbles' blessing, and most
hearty congratulations to you, son.
