Dear Dribbles:
L was certainly surprised when /
received the Christmas card. It's
arrival only made it more certain
i'm my mind that I would have
liked to have been back home for
the holidays had it been possible.
Since arrived in this area, I was
quite surprised to find the towns as
they actually are. And, the CHM
ate is nothing like 1 had supposed
it to be. Right at the present
time, the weather is decidedly
changable.
During my period of duty here, I
have visited Casablanca, Oran and
Rabat, each several times. These
towns are very modern in some re-
spects. The majority of the auto
mobiles here are either Fords or
Chevrolets. There are also other
makes of cars that one sees back
i'm the States.
The boys with whom I work
make very god companions. I've
met up with fellows from every
state in the Union since coming
here. These men represent all the
walks of life, but we're all working
for the same results-that's to win
this war.
I'm very sorry that have not
been able to keep up with the Boys
in the Service who are now station
ed over in this part of the world.
I certainly would like to see some
one from the Clayton and Smyrna
area. Just to stop for a minute
and say "hello" would indeed be a
big treat.
Will close for the present, with
the hope that l may run into some
of the Gang from home before long.
Please tell everyone in Clayton
and Smyrna that I am sending
them my best wishes
Always a reader of Dribbles,

Judging from the remarks made

Fate had treated you pretty much
alright so far. Jimmie, Dribbles

time to time, so that we may know
how things are going. Folks back

with your progress, and this is one
way that the information can be
passed along. Keep up the good
work son, and don't forget to write.

Dear Dribbles:
1 have been reading your column
lin The Smyrna Times, and thought
that 1 should write in and express
my opinion upon some of the art
icles that have appeared there.
1 notice letters from Boys in all
types of outfts-each strong in his
praise for his particular unit. Sew
eral of the Boys have been in out
fits that have not left the States.
Frankly, I think that someone
should wise these lads up, for no
unit can possibly predict what they
will do when they get into this
mess. The truth is that they will
only do that which circumstances
will permit. If I recall correctly,
one of the Boys from Tank De-
stroyer outfit, feels that he would
lead the Tanks, staying where the
Tanks are during the entire en-
gagement. Well, 1 recall one in
stance that might change his mind
where the tbs took off like
frightened rabbits.
We were in an area for several
days with the T. DIS as support.
Everything went fine until the Jer-
pies laid few in amongst us, and
Then you would not see the tbs
