Smyrna times., 1943-04-08

over in the Paeofic are ringing up
the score, it certainly shows how
much craft of that kind can ac-
complish in time of war. The adj
dress you asked for was published
in the March 25th issue of The
Smyrna Time. No doubt you have
it long before this. If there are
any other addresses you yant, just
write in. If we have them, you can
count on our getting them out for
you. Keep on writing Clinton, you
know we're looking upon you now
as one of our regulars.
Jimmie, Dribbles, will never for
get the first time he dicussed you
with your uncle, THE Bishop" over
in Clayton, Del. Son, the folks
there at home think that Cpl.
James L. Cubbage is just about
tops, and we have found no reason
not to share their high opinion.
Course we're thinking just lots of
all our Boys and Girls in the Ser
vice, throughout every day that
passes. On the other hand, every
one in Delaware has very warm
spot in their hearts for the 198th
F. A. (A.A. wherever you are. 1t
is about the only outfit in the Ser
vice that means Delaware when it
is being mentioned. And don't ever
let anyone tell you that you don't
have a mighty fine Top Kick.
While discussing him, the idea &C.
CURED that it might be in order to
have the Colonel drop this column
a letter. We are quite sure that all
the folks hereabout would be pleas
ed to hear from him.
Bernie, the address you asked for
was sent along to you by certain
very nice young lady the day after
your letter was received. You see,
in this manner, you not only OBJ
tanned the address asked for, but as
good measure, you gained alomst
an entire letter as an extra. That's
two and two equal six any
day in the year. Thanks for send
ing in your new address. We hope
that it resulted in more than the
one letter already mentioned. Glad
to hear that the group you are
playing with are doing such a good
job of it. From all indications one
would say that life in the u. S.
Navy was certainly agreeing with
yo. What do you think of the
routine schedule that brother Ron
ME sent through to us? Looks like
the young man would be making up
for lost time. You no doubt read
this schedule in the April 1st issue
of The Smyrna Times. Quite a lot
for 1.-THE little man who is there"
Alvin, you've been sort of lucky
so far in having some of your for
mer friends moved right along with
you. You boys have certainly done
quite a lot of travelling since re-
porting to Fort Dix on January 26.
Mother has been more than nice to
be willing to share her letter with
us. She has also been a staunch
supporter of this column in other
respects. A mighty fine person
that one enjoys knowing. How
about all you Boys dropping us
line some of these days soon? It
it not possible that Alan, Clarence
and Alvin are all three bashful.
Come on fellows. Step on the gas.
And thank you lot for the loan of
the letter Mrs. Nickerson.
Albert, it was certainly very
friendly for your sister to share her
letter with this column. That e.
minds Dribbles of the fact that you
have promised us a letter ever
since you entered the Service, and
so far we are still waiting. How
about it fellow? Don't you think
that you would feel a bit better
if you sent us a bit of news
about yourself, such censorship
would permit. We would be very
glad to hear from you. In the
meantime, keep holding that chin
Up. Once you get your neck mus
lies properly set, you will find it a
natural thing to do. About one
hundred and thirty three million
are doing that very
hing every day of their lives.
Think of the boys who were with
he U. S. Marines when they took
over the Japs on Guadalcanal
These boys just naturally hold
heir chins up-and for a very good
'eason. Come on Albert-give.
Mary Agnes, and dispite the
pressing invitation to join in, you
Ire still allowing Mother to pitch for
you. Thank you Mrs. Hartnett for
us to use both Albert's
and Mary'e letters. This friendly,
spirit is indeed most
Welcome. One thing missed was
not having your daughters full adj
lress. We will try to obtain this
by the time our column next goes
to press. This will inform her
friends as where they may send
their letters. Apparently, from
Mary's closing remarks, these let
ters would be most welcome. Drib-
bles, therefore, wishes to publish
