How plane in flight can pick up a glider is demonstrated above. A dangling pickup arm from the transport at left is just about to make contact with looped tow rope connected with the glider poised on the runaway. At left, Richard du Pont, head of the Army Air Forces glider program, is shown congratu- lating Lieut.. Chest Decker, glider pilot, after a successful pickup flight mans in glider development" said Du Pont, 'in spite of their many years of pioneering activity in this field. We are not only able to re- trieve gliders after they have landed, which the Germans aren't but we have also equipped our glders for blind flying
 The fate of the German 12O- place Merseburg gliders, converted to six-motor transports, which Allied flyers shot down over the Mediter- ranean during the Tunisian cam paign, indicated to Du Pont that the Nazi glider program has run into trouble.
 Perhaps they couldn't get any thing big enough to tow them,' he said. "At any rate they sacrificed pay load for engines and fuel and made them fire traps. And with six motors on them, they couldn't have been very expendable.

 This military pickup system now has been developed to the point where a plane can come over a restricted area where it couldn't land, cut loose a loaded glider and pick up an empty one, much as the milkman operates with your morn

Miss Genve Orzolek, it is indeed
a pleasure to serve both you and
your brother Frank. Any brothe.
should be very proud to have such
a sister who is so interested. Per-
haps, if Frank is not the bashful
type he will, after reading a few of
our issues, take it upon himsef to
write in direct to Dribbles instead
of having Sister bat for him. Don't
you think this would be nice? In
that way, many of his old friends
could have the opportunity to hear
from him through this column.
However, don't you forget your
promise that yu will keep me in
formed in regards to your brothers
movements. I'm counting on you
to carry on for the duration, so
don't let me down. Sometime,
when the opportunity offers, send
me Franks Army Serial Number.
You will see previous reference to
this in the present issue of this col
umn. Thanks a lot Miss Genve
Orzolek for your letter. Franks
address was entered in the Service
Honor Roll last week. Dribbles
hopes that a number of his friends
have already written him. And
don't you folks forget to write Of

letters will mean a lot tot thtim.

Glad to hear from you Jimmie.
Come again my friend and visit
with us more often. Isuppose that
you have been pushed pretty hard
since you entered the Service, but
now that school days are over, per-
haps you will find more time. From
the wording of your letter, it ap-
pears that you are receiving The
Smyrna Times weekly. If that is
a mistake, please pass the word
along and We'll see what can be
done about it. Dribbes knows that,
as time goes on, you will enjoy
more and more the news that
reaches you from this area.
Don't forget to keep Dribbles in
formed of any new change of adj
dress Jimmy. All changse of ad-
dress are published Immediately
even though we do not have the
column space to print your letter
until later, as it was in this case.
We asseume, that after the measles
are under control, you will hove on
to another station. That will mean
a new address, so let's have it son
when this occurs.
Since you have mentioned steaks,
someone might msconstrue that
this would indicate that you were
quite a cut up in your time. Well,
it could be true. However, now
that there is a big job to be done,
you, like millions Of other American
Boys and Girls are in there pitching
the ball. No time for cutting up
now until the game is over. Here's
hoping that you make twenty-sev-
en- straight strikeouts, without a
single man reaching first base JIM

answer you on behalf of the David
c. Harrison Post, No. ID. If the
Adjutant has already made his Of
fetal reply, of course this will be
off record. Son, you could not have
been more pleased to receive the
1943 Membership card than was
the local Post when they issued it
to you. Think of it. A veteran
now of two World Wars, not to
mention all the local skirmishes
you have been in. And to think, in
spite of all that Sister tried to do,
you have turned out to be a Gun
man. Dear me; alas; alack; oh
my. This time it is not a spray
gun, but the real thing that starts
jumping when you press the button.
Well, my friend, here's hoping that
your aim will always be true and
that you will get your shots in
first.
1t may be out of order to have a
layman express himself, however,
we're trusting that a bit of Duck
Shooting advice will not go amiss.
Lead 'em, son. Let the Axis planes
have it from bow to stern. In
those few short seconds hold those
buttons down all the way, and a.
ways remember, that the best de-
fensive action is getting the other
fellow first. Best of luck, Rube
May all your landings be happy
ones. How about the long promis-
ed letter? Could it be done?
