we had a letter from him. No

friends would like to know about
things and such. Press down on
the old pen Ronnie, adm let's hear
how you are making out in the Air
Corps.

Dear Dribbles:
I am glad to inform you of my
brother-in-law's promotion. He has
been advanced to Private First
Glass, and there is also change in
his address which should be noted.
Please put his name and address
in your Honor Roll. His address
is: Pfc. Leonard E. Cole, A. S. N.
32367798, A. P. o. No. $50, o
Postmaster, New York City, New
York.
From Leonard's sister-ni-law,
Mrs. Francis Cole
Again we have you to thank for
keeping us in touch with Leonard,
Mrs. Francis Cole, and we trust
that you will continue to supply us
with this type of information as
long as the need exists. If you
have any other news that you
might wish to have published con-
corning Leonard, we would be
pleased to handle it for you. Give
him our best the next time you're
writing, and invite him to drop us
a line.
Clayton, Delaware
Dear Dribbles:
1 am writing on behalf of my
son, Leon, who is now servinv over
seas. He has notified me that he
received a Christmas card from
Dribbles, postmarked Smyrna, Del
aware. Since he did not know of
anyone by that name, Leon has
asked me if know who it was, and
for me to thank him. 1 am there
fore thanking you, on behalf of my
son, for the Christmas card which
you sent him.
In his letter, Leon also said that
he stood very good chance to re-
turn to the States. 1 hope and
pray that he does. I do not send
Leon The Smyrna Times like do
Bill. You know, Bill wrote and
asked me to send him this news
paper, so I send it to him every
week. At the same time, wrote
to Leon and asked him if he would
like to get The Smyrna Times. Btu
Leon is always on the move, and he
did not answer me. However, if
Leon arrives back in the States,
will get the paper for him, then he
can find out for himself who Drib-
bles is.
1 thank you.
Mrs. Charles B. Chase
P.S.: Dribbles, / don't see my
sons name on the Honor Roll and
he will be gone from here over a
year.
First off, Mrs. Charles B. Chase,
please be advised that Bills name
is now showing on the American
Legion Honor Roll, located at Mar
ket Street Plaza, Smyrna, Della
ware. Yes, Bills name along with
quite few more have been posted
on this Honor Roll during the past
week. Before long this list will be
complete-right up to date. 1 know
that you are very glad to receive
this word, as will several other
mothers in this area.
Dribbles sincerely hopes that you
will have your prayer answered as
to the return of your son Leon. He
has been away from the States for
quite some time, and no doubt will
have his request considered favor
ably by his commanding officer,
providing his services can be spared
at this time. That is expected to
be the general policy of the U. S.
Army, and may soon effect num-
Der of our Boys who have served
two years or over on foreign soil.
We trust that you will continue
to keep this column advised if there
lis any further changes of address
coming through for George, Leon,
or William as time passes. This
will be helpful indeed.
This will acknowledge the post
card received from one of our row.
