BOston-A warm tribute to the 63rd
AF'L convention came from an un-
expected Source--the staid and con-

"AS the American Federation of

sense of satisfaction on their meetings.
None of the frivoitieS that 90 hand

The Federatqn's convention has
been n long one. 1t has brought out
some serious discussions. There have
been many matters thraShed out and
many divergent views expressed. Yet,
at no time has the true dignity of labor
been aIronted. Boston can take real
pride in playing host to such a fine
Convention."

Boston.--The AFL convention asked
all unions to have their members take
advantage of existing health protection
examinations to help the nationwide
drive to eliminate venereal diseases.
However, the convention was forced
to reject a proposal for compulsory
examinations because the AEL does
not have such sweeping authority over
its affiliated, autonomous units.

Smyrna times., 1943-06-10
Newport, Rhode Islanc

newport, huoue lsidilel
Editor of Dribbles
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Sir:
Well, another month has passed
since 1 last wrote you, SO | guess
it is about time that report again.
Things are about the same at the
station except the fact that the
weather is about 100 percent bet
ter. In another month perhaps the
summer will be on in full force.
In my last letter, I told you
about my going to Boston to visit
the "Storekeeper," Bill Melvin.
Well, 1 have made the second trip
there. This time 1 had the honor
of being the first person from
Smyrna to have met the wife. l
hope 1 did a fair to middling job of
representing the "Old Home Town. F"
Mrs. "Bill" Melvin is certainly a
nice girl, and 1 am sure that every
person who meets her will agree
with me. I also feel pretty sure
Smyrna times., 1943-06-10

that Mrs. Melvin will like Smyrna
and its people.
While over in Boston this time I
saw their subway. When I called
Bill up, he explained to me how to
get out to their place. He told me
to board certain car in a certain
subway. o. K, but L expected to
see a regular subway train like
they have in Philadelphia or New
York. Instead they had plain troll
ley cars running in their subway,
and it certainly looked funny. How
ever, boarded the right car and
made out swell. Boston is really
nice town, but it can't compare to
anything in good ole Delaware
not even Middletown = Hal Ha!
(Just joke). Il know it's corny).
was certainly surprised to read
in one of my letters from Smyrna
that "Shap's" exists no longer.
That the same stand is now known
as "Tiny's". Well, personally, 1
think that it was bit of mistake
to have changed the name because
all of us fellows that are away
from Smyrna now, still like to think
of that place as "Shap's" even
though Shap is not there. After
all, 1 know that Tiny" would
naturally like to use her own name,
but 1 somehow feel that all of us
fellows, who are now stationed at
points distant, should be considered
as well. Other places around town
have changed their management
without making a change in the
name. But, that's enough of my
grumbling, I grumble too much
anyway. I was termed the class
grumbler back when I went to
High School.
Well, the Company I am in is
supposed to leave here before very

Dribbles thanks you very much
Mrs. John Willis for your interest
in supplying first hand information
regarding the Red Cross work be-
ing carried out lover there" for our
Boys in the Service. Carroll's let
ter should certainly remove any
doubt that may exist in anyone's
mind concerning the outstanding
work which the Red Cross is now
doing. This is true wherever you
find the Red Cross units in the field.
Nor does it only apply to the SER
vices rendered the Armed Forces of
the United States. The Red Cross,
both the American Branch and the
International organization, is doing
an outstanding job all over the
world. Wherever you may learn of
great distress, you will find Red
Cross units set up and active, work
ing tirelessly to aid the suffering
and pain. One does not have to
wait until war is in progress to
know the worth of Red Cross. One
thing that war does bring, however,
is the more intimate knowledge of
their work - this is because so
many homes are more deeply inter-
ested, since they too have loved
ones away in the Service. Human
nature is very much the same
when it is your child, father or
mother who is being helped, you
are naturally more interested in the

Dear Mother and Dad:
This letter is being written sonle-
where in England, just where 1 can
not say.
In regards to your letter in which
you wish to know just what the
Red Cross is doing for the Ameri-
can Soldier over here; when a
soldier gets hurt and is sent to the
hospital, the Red Cross sends work.
ers to see him to find out if there
is anything that he needs. This
has happened to me twice, which
will indicate to you that have al
ready done two bitches in the hos
pital since 1 landed.
When the real cold winter set in
over here, the Red Cross workers
came around and gave all the boys
that were exposed to the cold a
sweater and a scarf. Then, for
Christmas, they made up a nice lit
tie bag with lot of things that
are needed by the soldiers and gave
them to us. Since then, the Red
Cross has opened up clubs in town.
In these clubs, a soldier can get a
room for overnite if he is on a
twenty-four hour pass, or is out on
over day leave. We can also OBJ
tain something to eat in these clubs.
They are equipped with lounge
where you can sit around and read,
listen to the radio if you desire, etc.
In fact, the Red Cross club is a
home for the American soldier
while he is away from camp. Now,
once each week, the Red Cross
comes on the job and gives the
soldiers cup of coffee and dough-
nuts. The last gift they made to
us was a nice o. D. sweater to wear
under our blouse. In my personal
opinion, the Red Cross is one worth
while organization, and nobody
need hold back in giving them any,
thing.
These are just some of the many
things that are being done for us
by the Red Cross. Of course, in
this Country we are not seeing
much action, but if they are doing
all this for us under the present
circumstances, you can just i'm
agine for yourself what they are
doing for the boys serving on the
battle fronts.
Well, Dad, you asked me to write
you a few lines in reference to the
activities of the Red Cross over
here; what they were doing for us,
etc. l have tried to give you this
information, and show you some of
the many good and helpful things
which the Red Cross organization
is doing. In turn, you can tell the
people back home how much we
really do appreciate their good |
work. And may say, God Bless
Smyrna times., 1943-06-10

will be nice to have your brother
home with you on a few days
leave. Calvin managed pretty well
along this line until he left for
overseas. Calvin certainly carried
himself fine when he spent part OF
his week-ends here. He was indeed
a credit to the uniform he was
wearing. Dribbles hopes that you
folks are seeing to it that Calvin
is not wanting for mail. We know
that he will appreciate everything
that you may do for him. Thank
ing you again for keeping us in
formed on your brothers move
ments Miss Foxwell, and trusting
that this interest will continue. So
until the next time, and with all
good wishes.
