write in. The first thing we try
for is to get the new address pub
lished. This was done immediate
ly so that all of Lloyd's friends
would know where to write him.
Why not tell the lad to drop us a
line when he gets settled? 1t
would be hard to believe that One
Of Our Boys would be troubled
with any great amount of bashful-
ness these days. I think that Lloyd
would really like the idea, if he
knew about the service being rend-
cred to our Service men. Sending
him a copy of The Smyrna Times
weekly would do much towards
keeping him informed.

Dear Sir:
Information was asked in The
Smyrna Times about Randolph's
address. For your information I
am listing it below. Please make
note of this change in your next
issue. Thanking you, 1 remain
Mrs. Harry Faulkner
Once more Mother has come to
our rescue. Thank you very much
Mrs. Faulkner. And, now that you
have broken the ice, as it were,
won't you keep Dribbles informed
of Randolph's address if changed
any time in the future. The editor
talked yith your son before he re-
ported to Fort Dix, New Jersey on
September 3rd. At that time, Ran
dolph advised that he would keep
in touch with me after he entered
the Service. 1t must be that he has
been so busy in training that he
has forgotten. The next time you
send your son a letter, why not
enclose this column? 1t would
serve to refresh his memory. Bet
ter still, send him The Smyrna
Times each week and he will be
able to keep up with lot of the
local news. Dribbles is betting that
he would like this very much. If
you looked in the Honor Roll,
change of addresses, last week Mrs.
Faulkner you no doubt saw Ran
dolph's new address listed there.
Thank you Mrs. Faulkner.

Dear Sir:
Recently my brother left for the
Army, and he requested that your
column be supplied with his address
each time he moved. We have just
found out where he is stationed, |
and are Immediately passing this
information on to you. We would
like very much if you would add
his name to your Honor Roll, and |
later place it in your records. 1
shall send you Carols address each
time he moves. I thank you.
Very sincerely,
Miss Ethel VanPelt
Nice going, my dear young lady.
But of course you would do this,
even without being told. AS the
daughter of an Old Navy man, we'll
you could hardly do otherwise. Tell
Dad that 1 would like him to see
that Carol gets his copy of The
Smyrna Times while he is in the
Service. 1 know that he would
nave enjoyed similar service
while he was in the Navy during
World War l. l bet if you were
Just bit older, you'll would be in
here batting for the WAVES,
SPARS or WAACS-some of the
Service organizations. It's in the
blood, my dear. Ethel, it has been
/ real pleasure answering your nice
etter. Now the next time you
write Carol, twice week anyway,
ell him to put a line through to
his column. would enjoy getting
| letter from him. Nice boy. And
while you are about it, tell my Old
Friend from the Navy, that Drib-
oles thinks that Carol is better
nan than he was. This should start
Thanks lot Ethel.
