he hath prepared for him that wait

3. In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was oGd. 3. All things

him was not any thing made that

from the Textbook Science and

32-D. The three great verities of
Spirit, omnipotence, omnipresence,
omniscience-Spirit possessing all
power, filling all space, constituting
all Science-contradict forever the
belief that matter can be actual.
These eternal verities reveal prim-

Pacific Area
Dear Mother:

Dear Mother:
thought I told you not to worry
about me. but somehow 1 feel that
you are. In order that you may put
your mind at rest concerning my
present surroundings, 1 want you
to know that everything is wonder
full out here. My health is better
than it ever was. 1 am stationed
on an island in the Pacific Area
where the natives do not speak
English. I have little note book
that I carry around with me all the
time. This book contains a list of
words in the language of the people
of this island, also the English
translation. By resorting to this,
l am able to get along.
The trip out here was really nice.
I think 1 told you most of the de-
tails concerning this. Now as to
the cheese and the other things
that I asked that you send me.
Perhaps I had better make myself
clear by saying that I am not
starving, just thought it would be
nice to have these things around
for a midnight snack. The facts
are, that the food we are served is
very good.
Thanks to the U. S. Navy, we
completed our voyage out without
an incident. While we were on the
ship, the Red Cross gave each of us
a small Army kit. It contained
needles, thread, ETC., package of
cigarettes, pack of gum. a library
book, soap in a case and other
small articles. The gift was very
nice, and everything it contained
could be used to an advantage. I
know that you always donate to
the Red Cross. They are a very
worthy organization. I would never
want to see you turn them down
because, as much as I have seen so
far, know that they are doing a
lot for the Boys in the service; es-
pecially over here.
1 am really glad that 1 came
overseas, because it makes you feel
as If you are doing more to end this
war, rather than staying back in
the States. OF course it's a little
more dangerous, but variety is the
spice OF life" when in the Army.
Mother, before I forget to men
ton it, will need some air mail
stamps. I'm not entirely out as
yet, but pretty close to it. Over
here it costs six cents for every

civilization can hope to deal with
them is over the point of gun
and in that case the gun should be
firing with plenty of ammunition in
reserve. Pearl Harbor has shown
us many things. If we think that
through education we can teach the
Jap Rats to join in, and cooperate
with a group of Nations to promote
peace and fair play for us all, we're
badly deluded. They never were
that kind of people, and they
never will be. 1t is to be hoped
that disarmament programs, and
pacifist speech-making will never
cause us to give the barbarians an
other chance for a stab in the back.
This will be one of the jobs for Our
Boys to tend to after this war is
over. None of us ever want to see
history repeat itself in this manner
never again.
Charles, Dribbles and your good
mother have held several very
friendly talks during the past few
months. Your mother is thinking
of you and your brother James con-
Istantly. James has been a bit
more fortunate than you, since he
is stationed at a point nearby and
can make it home rather frequent
ly. Naturally, that is source of
real enjoyment for the folks. This
does not, howeer, make up for your
being away. Dribbles hopes that
you will keep on writing in at reg
ular intervals so that all your
friends in this community will re-
ceive the news concerning you.
Meanwhile, Dribbles wants to wish
you and all the other Boys in your
outfit the very best of luck when
you move overseas. When this war
is over, and this world is made safe
once again for decent people, We'll
be seeing you. That's a date too,
Charles. May God bless you, and
the folks back home who are wait
ing for you.

So once again you are pinch hit
ting for that uncle of yours. The
very next time you write to him,
please tell the young soldier that he
owes Dribbles a letter at least a
year over due. Before he left Will
son Cabinet Company to join up
with the colors, this uncle of yours
swore by all that was good and
holy that he would keep in touch
with this column regularly. Well,
young lady, were it not for you,
I'm afraid we would have to
call pickles" up for a deck court
martial since he did not live up to
his vows. AS it is, Dribbles will
forgive him since you have acted
so friendly in his behalf. Thanks
for your continued interest, Miss
Seward, and please do keep up the
very good work. Your Uncles new

Our Boys and Girls

David c. Harrison Post, No. IA,

American Legion Auxiliary.
by

Dribbles is making a special ap-
peal to all readers of this column
which it is hoped will be responded
to promptly. This appeal is being
directed to all persons in this area
who have loved ones now serving in
the Armed Forces of the United
States, both at home and overseas.
After carefully looking over all
the names now listed in the files, it
is found that quite number of the
addresses shown therein are not
perhaps the most recent ones. Since
the mailing of many Christmas
packages and lettess may be de-
pending on all these addresses to be
correct, Dribbles feels that this is
the logical time for mothers, faith
ers, sweethears, aunts, uncles,
grandmothers, grandfathers, broth
ers, sisters and friends to help the
editor of this column correct any
errors that may now exist. This
can be quickly accomplished if all
of you will cooperate by sending in
the latest address you have at hand
of any boy or girl from this area
who is now in service. Please adj
dress all your information direct to
Dribbles, Smyrna, Delaware. Upon
receipt of this information a COM
plete check will be made with the
files, and the new address will be
published in the following issue of
The Smyrna Times. This act of
kindness on the part of the public
now, may be the direct means of
making many loved ones Christ
mas much more enjoyable. I'm
doubtedly it will aid greatly in re-
ducing the number of misdirected
pieces of mail that should reach
our boys and girls in time to cele-
brate Christmas 1943 in all parts of
the word. To this extent, the pub
lies support is earnestly solicited.

Well Sergeant, you certainly
have the right spirit for starting
out on the sort of date that you
mention. Looks like the Boys over
there in the South Pacific sort of
have the Japs on the run now, and
1T is to be hoped that they will be
in a position to maintain the pres
sure all the way back to Tokyo. To
date, our fighting against the Japs
has not given us much of an op-
portunity to demonstrate what a
real Tank Destroyer outfit might be
able to do on the right kind of ter
rain. Sooner or later this time will
arrive, and there is no doubt in
Dribble's mind what the outcome
will be. The Jap is savage little
beast, who by nature would not
wish to live right, even if he could.
They started off as gang of pi-
rates and cut threats, and except
for the polish some of them have
obtained throughout the passing
years, they have not changed much
at heart. The only way that future
