Smyrna times., 1944-06-29

knowledge receipt of your Christ
mas card, however, better late
than never" they say. Thanks
million.
And at this time I want to take
the opportunity, through Dribbles'
kindness, to express my apprecia-
tion for all the swell letters 1 read
concerning all my friends who are
in the Service somewhere on the
globe.
During the past few months, my
wife has from time to time stopped
in the Office of The Smyrna Times
and given you my change of ad-
dress. 1 now thought it about time
that I was doing something for
myself.
Just a brief note of my present
environment. 1 am located in a
beautiful spot in England, in the
one of the best U. S. Army Gener-
al Hospitals in the British Isles.
A-heml Of course we are kept
quite busy, consequently time goes
very fast. AS for entertainment,
we get an occasional pass; there
are bicycles, swell libraries, and the
Red Cross offers good shows as
well as games of all sorts. I might
add that everyone takes advantage
of these offers when time permits.
Once again, I thoroughly enjoy
reading The Smyrna Times, even
though it is quite out-dated when
received. The latest issue which I
have before me is dated April 9th.
This is "hello" to all my friends,
and to the editor, keep up the good I
work.
Cherrio,
"Clif"

Well!! Corporal, Dribbles is
more than pleased to welcome you
nto the column, along with Tom
ny Conaway this week. All that
We have said to Tommy goes for
you too-in the self same spirit of
This weekly bit of
Jews is your, after all is said and
lone anyway. And by the same
oxen it's definitely up to you fell
ows to keep the ball rolling along.
The only part the editor plays is
o publish what you have written, l
nd beat his typepriter (instead of G
lis gums) in reply. I
Soldier, did you ever stop to (
hink that the very same enjoy t
nent you have had in the past in c
eading your friends letters, you !
re now passing along to them in '
eturn. They no doubt will be just q
S much pleased to hear from you. a
Let us hope that your first letter
yill only be the start; that others '
7ill follow along at regular inter- |
ais, so that we al may know how t
'oes it with you over in Bonny v
,ngand. And we most certainly L
Q appreciate the fact that Mrs. h
ones has been passing along your t
hanges of address during your alb a
ence. b
The opinion you have expressed t
egarding your General Hospital C
lay not be exactly correct in every 8
etail, but it's darn good way to
,el about ones outfit. In fact,
will go point further and
ny it the way every soldier should Z
,el about the fellows he is serving
ith. Then if all these many diff r;
rent groups are all the BEST, cl
hy we're might sure that the k
hole U. S. Army is tops. The v
lme would apply to any other F
,anch of the Service. The more :
III root for your home team, the
,tter your home team will appear :
your own eyes.
1t has been noted that you wrote
,ur V-Mail letter on I'D" day,
orporal. This is being brought to
lr readers attention due to the
ct that we all are anxious to
low how our Boys and Girls in h
e Service are surviving the pres y
1t offensive that are happening in ,
} many places these days. 1t is
lr sincere hope that the rest of
