who try to follow their husbands
from station to station throughout
this god land urs, find that living
accommodations are quite a prob
lem. You have been the exception
that proves the rule perhaps. Any
way, we're mighty glad that you
could be near your sailor boy hus-
band. Not that sailors ever need
any watching, mind you. The vast
majority of our boys in blue are in
clined to be a bit shy where ladies
are concerned. The only time that
they really expend an unusual
amount of energy, is when they are
face to face with our natural en-
emies. That's the time they cut
loose and pour it on proper.
Give Jack our very best wishes,
and hold out a generous share for
yourself as a well-deserved reward
for the fine manner in which you
have been sending through the
changes of address promptly. And,
boy, does this help out plenty.
Dribbles certainly hopes that you
will both enjoy very happy Holi-
day Season together. Perhaps by
this time next year, you can both
be making still happier plans for
the future.

five and half years with heart
shaped face and large hazel eyes.
Her hair soft and blonde and some
times curls and again hangs in
wispy strands. She has nice rosy
cheeks. Carol is the best of COM
pany-her conversation is vivid
within the confines of her vocabul-
ary and she gossips like little old
woman about every day things.
She loves to look after little broth
er and can anticipate his wants
and needs and understand his Ian
guage which is incomprehensible to
everyone else. She has always
been like a little mother to David.
David, four years old, is an at
tractive rolly-poly little boy, with
blonde, straight hair, and large
rather pale blue eyes. He has
beautiful, soft, pink and white COM
plexion. He is very demonstra-
tive child when he is with people
he knows. You don't think of
David as a gay, care-free young
ster somehow. He goes about what
he does with great deal of SER
ious deliberation, but has win
ming smile when the occasion war
rants it. David seems devoted to
Jean and they have many happy
times together.
While these children are finding
love and security in their foster
home, there are many others
awaiting a similar opportunity.

The Homes for Delaware Chill
dren Committee is looking for more
foster homes like the one that is
caring for these four children. Mr.
and Mrs. Biddle, the foster parents
are used to houseful of children
for they have five sons of their
own, three of whom are now in the
service. Mrs. Middle became lone
ly as her children grew up and left
the home and she and her husband
decided to take foster child from
an agency. Instead of just one
they now have four foster children
who love their foster mother and
daddy and have found real happi-
ness on this lovely farm. Mrs
Biddle says 81 don't know what ]
would have done without my new
children"
Ann, 10 years old, is very friend
ly, and companionable. She is a
husky sort of tomboy who loves to
help with the farm work, but likes
housework, too, and is a big help
to her foster mother. Ann has
dark, straight hair, cute face, and
a twinkle in her eye. She is full
of fun and can always find some
thing to laugh or joke about.
Jean, who is also ten years old
Iis blonde, thin little girl, who
will some day be a very pretty
young woman. Her coloring is
fair, and she wears glasses. Jear
takes things pretty much as they
come, doesn't get very excited, but
thoroughly enjoys new adventures
She is a very neat youngster and
likes to do the dainty things around
the house. Jean has begun tc
show real musical talent in playing
the piano.

orally with those whose names ap-
pear in this column. And, after
all, it is the only way to really do
good job. And, by the way, how
is the heart trouble?
Last week in the mail, Dribbles
received his first Christmas card.
Nor was it the usual greeting that
most folks would be looking for.
This card was mailed from Eng
land. On the first page of the fold
ed card was a moonlight picture of
convoy of eleven vessels, guarded
by a fight of seventeen planes, and
it read Seasons Greetings from
Overseas" Unfolded, page two
disclosed the White Cliffs of Dover
in the moonlight. In the upper
left hand corner was a picture of
London's sky line. Across the Gen.
ter of the page was written "The
Blue Birds of Dover are flying over
-. Carrying Greetings to you. And
in the right hand corner of the
page was the photograph of none
other than "Pete" Stats. There
he was, as big as life, with great
broad smile on his face. From all
appearance, one would think that
he did not have a worry in this
world. Perhaps he was thinking
to the night, not so very long ago,
when he was lost in the London
fog. Deserted by his superior Of
ficer, and later rescued by an angel
of mercy. WE'LL Whatever the
occasion for the smile, it sure did
look good to see "Pete's" big crop
of bushy hair once again. Thanks
a lot, son for remembering Drib-
bles at Christmas time. 1t was the
first card of the season, and I shall
always treasure it most highly.
Best of wishes for your own Christ
mas. May it be a real merry one.
I hope that some of you Boys from
this area can get together during
the coming holidays. understand
that London has been ruld out of
bounds for many of our soldiers,
however, it just can't be helped. If
you cannot reach London, there is
no law that would prevent certain
persons from London, holding a
rendezvous with you. Out of the
fog, and into the moonlight, as it
were. How about it, soldier?
