Dear Dribbles:
In response to your request for
information regarding T-S M. K.

facts will be of interest to you.
A native of Georgia, Tech. SGT.
Bassinger has had twenty years of

prayers were answered as quickly
and as efficiently as you have an
swered my question concerning
your husband, Mrs. Bessinger, this
column would be thing of the
past. The war would be over
Hitler and TOTO would have passed
out of this world (please don't ask
me how and their misguided sup
porters would have been dealt with
according to their just dues.
Thanks lots for the information
indeed. And in the same breath,
here's asking you to pass the word
along to Martin, telling him that
wwe would like to have him join
in with the rest of the Boys from
this area in our little column. Hav-
ing had twenty years in the U. S.
Army should place him in a favor
able position to set up camp in
grand style. Tell Martin we know
he must be o. K. when he has such
a good representative batting for
him back on the Home Front. 1
can well remember the day when
the 1st Engineers were as much of
Fort DUPONT as the old Fort Itself.
Yes! Those were the days when
the heart was young and gay My!
What a difference a few years will
make in a person. Now, it's the

me yet. But time will tell.
Here we pause for moment to
extend our very best wishes for a
rapid recovery to 1t. Cummins E.
Speakman, Jr., whom we are told
is now spending a thirty-day fur
Tough with his parents at Belmont
Hall. Here's hoping that the good
Kent County air, and the complete
rest of both mind and body, will
soon make Lieutenant Jerry" feel
like new person. 1t goes without
saying that he's living in dream

which he faced over in Italy. May
the skys be bright and sunny from
here on out for our soldier friend.

Dear Dribbles:
Just line to tell you that my
son has been promoted from Priv
ate to Sergeant He informs me
that his work has been changed
quite a bit since his promotion.
However, Paul says that he is get
ting along fine in his new position,
and hopes that he can continue in
it for sometime.
My sons address is as follows:
Sgt. Paul c. Bickling, A. S. N.
32754810, A. P. o. No. 948, C o.
Postmaster, Seattle, Washington.
I thank you.
Mrs. j. C. Bickling
This is certainly fine news to
hear about Pauls advancement di-
rectly from Private to Sergeant,
Mrs. Bickling. I know that you
are very proud of your sons sue
cess, and so am 1 as a matter of
record. The u. S. Army does not !
make such a jump in promoting
men in this manner unless there is
a perfectly good reason for it. You
can just bet on that. Therefore,
you can feel justly proud to know
that your Boy is doing SO well in
the Service of his Country. Please
tell Paul that Dribbles sends his
most hearty congratulations, and is
very much plpeased to hear such |
good news. Thank you for writing
in. We hope that your friendly in
terest will continue always.
