Dear Sir:
l am sending you my new change
of address for your column, since
you will no doubt note from the
heading of my letter that 1 have
been moved again.
I do want to thank you and The
Smyrna Times for printing my sew
eral addresses from time to time.
I guess that my Sister Ethel is
right when she says: rather like a
grasshopper." Yes, 1 have been
changed quite often since enter
ed the U. S. Army. This last time,
1 drove my truck from Baton
Rouge, Louisiana to Chattanooga,
Tennessee. know of lot of peo-
pie back home who would have
liked to have had the amount of
gasoline at their disposal to have
made such trip. We all had quite
nice time, with plenty of beauti-
full scenery enroute.
I see from The Smyrna Times
that 1 am located close to Buck
eye" Nowland. He is stationed at
Nashville, Tennessee. Right at
present am on detached Service
and quartered in a small town
named Lebanon, about thirty miles
from Nashville. I hope that will
have the opportunity to look Buck
eye" up before 1 am moved again.
1t would certainly be nice to see
one of the Boys from the home
town.
I have also learned from your
column that an old Buddy of mine
is back in the States: S.Sgt. Lloyd
A. Pleasanton. Give him my best
regards,
Well sir, it is time for this Flying
Truck Driver to take off. Thanks
very much for everything.
Sincerely yours,

Greetings, Flying Truck Driver;
it has been very nice hearing from
you direct. We knew that you
would not allow sister Ethel to as
sumo all the work of keeping us
advised of your movements. She
makes mighty good secretary
however, and we enjoyed her spunk
in carrying on for you. Now since
you have broken the ''ice" young
man, We'll expect you to drop us a
line from time to time and tell us
how things are moving along for
you. How about it? Meanwhile,
Ethel can be watching from the /
side lines, and if she feels that you
are not coming across in the prop
er manner, why it will be her cue
to ring up the curtain anew. In
that way we have two chances to
make draw to a full house. 1t all
stacks up in our favor working it
this way. Hope along with you
that you will have a chance to
look Buckeye" up while you are
so close to each other. This may
be the one opportunity you will be
offered for some time to come. Take
the very best of care of yourself
Carroll and write in again when
you have some news to pass along
to your friends Good luck all of
the way.
Smyrna, Delaware, RID.
Dear Dribbles:
I wonder if it would be asking
too much for you to put my grand
sons address in your column? {? He
has quite a few friends in and
around Smyrna, and 1 know he
would be more than pleased to
hear from some of these people. !
Benjamin has been overseas for !
sixteen months, therefore, card or
a letter from some of his trends in !
this area would be a big treat. His |
address is: Pvt.Benjamin F. Jacobs, |

Thank you,
