to do on the Highway Department
job"
Clarence writes that he has re-
ceived quite few Christmas cards,
mostly from people who have OBJ
tanned his address from your col
umn. He especially asks that Drib-
hes be given his sincere thanks and
best wishes.
His address is now: Pvt. CIar-
ence M. Emerson, ASH. 32758275,
A. P. o. No. 638, C o Postmaster,
New York City, New York.
Thank you. =.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Delsie Bessinger
Thank you very much Mrs. .Delsie
Bessinger, for the information
which you have supplied this col
umn with concerning your brother
Clarence. His new address was
published in the change of address
grouping, under the date of Febru-
airy 3rd. This was the week fol-
lowing the receipt of your letter. I
believe that Clarence is receiving
The Smyrna Times, so have re-
quested that a change be made in
his mailing address also.
Clarence's description of his new
surroundings was interesting to
read, and it certainly appeared as
if he was reasonably happy with
the change. Since the work he is
to do is very much like the former
work he performed with the High
way Department, no Doubt he will
get along nicely. Please tell him
that Dribbles is wanting to be re-
membered to him every time you
write.
BY the way, can you furnish me
with any information on M. K. Bes-
singer His name was turned in
to The Smyrna Times, and I pub
lished it under Honor Roll on jan
uary 18th, 1914. Since the last
name is similar, it was thought
you might be in position to tell
us something about this young
man.
If, in the future, you have any
news for this column, please do not
hesitate to send it along. Dribbles
will always be glad to have your
cooperation as long as there is
need for Service news.
Since your letter arrived, we
nave received word in the form of
4 V-Mail letter from your brother.
This will be published in turn in
he following issue of Dribbles. |
The one thing Clarence stresses in
lis letter is the wish to have folks
write lots of letters while he is
away overseas. Here's hoping that |
lie will get his wish granted which
S little enough when you stop and
.hink about it. Sure he gets bit
onesome and so do all the other
Boys and Girls who are away serv-
ng their Country. So let's all give
hem plenty of letters to read, and |
e-read several times in most in
stances.

that folks would be glad to hear
from them.
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear .Dribbles:
Just few lines to inform you of
a slight change in Towards ad-
dress, and to tell you that 1 now
have another son who has recently
started to work for Uncle Sam.
My second son to enter the Service,
Nelson, reported for duty Deem
Der 9Th, 1913.
I received letter from Howard
recently. In it he stated that he
had been granted a furlough at
Christmas time for a few days.
This time was spent visiting one of
the large cities in the country in
which he is stationed. He said that
he went swimming, horse back rid
ing, etc., during his. visit there.
Nelson is stationed at Camp
Shelby, Mississippi. He said that
it rained so frequently and so much
when he first went there that he
feared they would have one of their
Mississippi floods.
Please find both of my sons
names listed below: T-5 Howard
Steele, A. S. N. 3207O7O7, A. P. o.
No. SGT, Postmaster, New York
City, New York. Pvt. Nelson
Steele, A. S. N. 42O80689, Co. M,
259th Infantry, A. P. o. No. 200,
Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Beulah Steele
Thank you very much Mrs.
Beulah Steele for reporting your
sons addresses to this column. We
hope that you will continue to for
ward us such interesting informa-
ton as comes through to you, now
that the initial visit has been COM
pleted. And, if either Howard or
Nelson have a middle initial to
their names, won't you please send
it in to complete their addresses?
you stated in your letter
where Howard had spent his
Christmas furlough, censorship
makes it i'll advised to put this in
formation in print. We therefore
did not publish that part of your
letter. Dribbles hopes you will al
ways try to understand why part |
of an address, or a letter, is not |
mentioned. 1t will always tie in
with but one reason, that of con-
with the rules and regula-
tons of the Office of War Informa-
ton. I know that you will heartily
agree that in time of war we just
cannot pass anything on to the
enemy which would help him in any
way. That accounts for anything
that you do not see published in
this column that may have been
written into the original commun-
cation.
Please tell those two young sons
If yours that Dribbles wishes them
Ill of the very best while they are
n the Service of their Country. If
hey can find bit of time on their
1onds, invite them to write in. They
would perhaps enjoy this if they
Ire readers of The Smyrna Times,
and can see how the idea operates.
Word has been received that
Frank L. Houtman, Seaman Second
Class, formerly of Clayton, has
his basic recruit train
ng at the u. S. Naval Training
Sampson, New York, To-
Gated on the shores of Seneca Lake.
He has now been granted leave,
and upon his return to Sampson,
Frank will be eligible for further
assignment which may qualify him
'or a petty officer rating.
