hot enough to just about roast a

Dear Dribbles:
I know it has been a long time
since 1 have written to you, but
really I have been very busy.
I would like very much to see
one of your columns, but I have not
heard from The Smyrna Times
since the middle of January. Hard
ly day passes by that 1 do not
think about writing, since my
thoughts are directed on Smyrna
most of the time.
Since I have been in the service
l have seen many interesting plac-
es. Two years ago I would not
have thought it possible to have
moved around so much. Several of
the stops which we have made
have been points that have rated
famously in the news Later on I
may be able to tell you about them.
Ever since we began moving
dDOul L nave UGtIl IOOhLlS dIOuINl
for some one who halls from the
Old Home Town. Up to the pres
ent time, my search has been unre-
warded. The nearest I came to
seeing anyone that I had known
in civilian life was a boy who use
to serve me with ice when I was
located at Elkton, Maryland So
after all it isn't such a large world
1 went ashore one day this week
and was walking through the
jungle, which reminded me very
much of the scenery had looked
at in the Tarzan pictures.
I must close for now, hoping to
hear from you or your column soon
AS ever

1t is with regrets that we learn
you have not received your copy of
The Smyrna Times regularly. This
relay in delivery is no doubt caused
by the fact that you are moving
about from place to place so much.
When your mail does catch up with
you it is quite possible that you
will have quite a little to read-at
least we hope so.
Dribbles is very glad to hear
from you Jack an would suggest
that you keep a sharp look out for
some of your old friends who are
located out in the area you are now
covering. No telling when you
might run across several of them.
Things go along in pretty much
the same manner back here in
Smyrna. Of course there are many
of the old friendly faces that are
now missing. In their places new
faces have appeared and the gen.
eral activities of the town seem to
go along much in their usual man
ner. One thought, however, is con-
tinually before our minds and that
is to have quick and speedy vic
tory. This we realize will not hap
pen until much force and individual
effort has been expended. Accord
ing to all reports Our Boys in the
Pacific acrea are really moving
places. This is indeed good news.
We all hope that the Jap Rats will
have reason to remember the
might that is assembled to assure
their crushing defeat at an early
date.
Good luck to you Jack, and
here's hoping that the U. S. Mails

We thank you very much Mrs. F.
f. Carrow for keeping US advised
on your sons and brother changes
of addresses. This is indeed very
friendly and helpful to those who
wish to keep in touch with men,
bers of our Armed Forces. The ad-
dresses which you supplied were
published in our Change of Address
Column under the date of March
10th, 1914. No doubt you saw them
in the issue referred to.
We trust, as time goes on, that
you will keep up this same good
work, which you may be assured is
greatly appreciated. Please give
Dribbles' very best wishes to James
and David the next time you are
writing to them.

Dear Dribbles:
I received the very nice Christ
mas card you sent me- I sure do
thank you a lot for remembering
us Boys over here. 1t certainly
does help to cheer up the Boys
when they receive a lot of letters
and cards from friends back in the
good Old Town.
Mother sends me The Smyrna
Times regularly, and I sure do en-
joy reading your DRIBBLES col
umn. Even the Boys on my gun
crew, who are mostly from other
States, enjoy reading it. So you
see, The Smyrna Times goes
through quite a few different hands
after it reaches the Boys over here.
There are only two or three Boys
from Smyrna in this outfit.
We have plenty of hot and wet

know how things are going.

We wish to thank you very
much, Mrs. Heverin, for sending us
your sons address. This was pub
lished in our column under the date
of March 10th, 1914. We hope that
Jackie's friends will take advant-
age of his address to write him
while he is away in the Service of
his Country. Letters mean SO much
to all Service Men who receive
them. Please pass the word along
to your son that we would be pleas
ed to haove him drop us a letter
direct whenever he finds the oppor-
tunity to do so. At the same time,
please give him our very best wish
es for a successful Army career.

that he will continue his valuable

TIRES AVAILABLE
TO ALL DRIVERS

Effective May 1, every passenger
car operator will be able to estab-
lish eligibility for some grade Of
tire, officials of the local war Price
and Ration Board announced yes
terday.
All drivers holding supplement
tai gasoline ration for occupational
driving may apply for a Grade I
tire. All persons holding a basic
ration will be eligible for a Grade
II tire, officials stated.
When the mileage rationing pro-
gram was put into effect on De-
cember 1, 1912, every driver was
permitted to apply for some grade
of tire. Persons allowed the most
mileage were made eligible o r
tires capable of furnishing the most
miles. Persons having lower mile
age allowances were restricted to
the lower quality tires.
AS the tire situation gradually
frightened and the available tires
disappeared from market, it was
necessary to restrict eligibility for
the remaining tires. On May l.,
1913, due to the almost complete
disappearance of Grade IFS dover
quality new tires), they were
placed in the Grade I classified
ton. On July 1, 1913, because Of
decreased stocks on Grade II tires
eligibility for these tires was re-
stricted to those persons driving
occupational mileage. The Overall
stocks of tires were no longer suf-
ficient to provide for the needs of
all drivers.
Effective February 1, 1914, the
determination Of passenger tire
eligibility was changed from mile
age'' to "occupationap' standards.
The stock of Grade IFS essential
functions and eligibles for these
tires could not be met. It was OBJ
viously more important to supply
tires to low mileage persons per-
forming highly essential service
than to high mileage operators per-
forming less essential functions,
and, therefore. the change in eligi-
bility standards was made.
At the present time, through the
increased production of all syn
thetic rubber tires, the Office of
Rubber Director has allocated to
the local office for rationing ad-
ditional quota of new passenger
tires and tubes. This has made It
possible to relax the rationing regu-
lations for new and used passen-
ger tires. This new program viii
enable persons previously ineligible
for tire requirements to apply for
Grade II tires. This means that
any driver holding a basic ration
will qualify. Because of the need
for supplying occupational, non
preferred drivers with tires, all
h lders of supplemental gaso-
line rations for cupational driv-
ing may apply for Grade I re-
placements.
The local rationing board asks
that 'B' book holders do not rush
for tires Immediately for the quotas
are still limited.
