living in the liberated areas. This
is certainly going to prove a drain
on every food supply and clothing
source in this country. What I'm
afraid of is that we will not have
enough to feed and clothe all who
ask. Your Uncle Sac is generous,
yes, even to a fault, but just let
him not come through with all
that will be required, then you will
quickly find out what kind of a
fellow he really is. 1t was true
after World War /, and we do not
have a right to expect anything
different this time. I sincerely
hope that I am mistaken, and will
be only too pleased to correct the
error in judgment if results prove
different from what expect. One
thing quite sure-time will GER
tainly tell. 1 would like to know
what you fellows serving overseas
think about this. Many of you are
right in on the ground floor as it
were, and your expression of opin-
ion would be most interesting to
follow. What do you say? How
about dropping Dribbles a line
telling him just what you think
Corporal, I'm betting that you
will meet up with someone from
this part of the world before very
long. Sitting here before the card
file, it just don't seem that you
could possibly miss. Course Eu-
rope is a mighty large bit of soil,
and those you know could be right
close by and you still can miss
them. 1 was talking with one of
Our Boys couple of days ago
who had been stationed in Eng
land. He was only about fifteen
miles away from a fellow he knew,
and yet he did not have an oppor-
tunity to see him during his sew
eral months stay there. This can
surely happen in any branch of
the Service. It's sort of like "ships
that pass in the night"
Best of luck to you, Carlton,
and may fate be most generous
and kind to you. I've enjoyed this
little visit with you, and hope that
you'll drop in again before long
and have another chat about
things.

American Legion Auxiliary.
cambridge, Maryland
Dear Dribbles:
Just a few lines to tell you that
/ am stationed here at cambridge,
Maryland since Tuesday the 18th.
Everyone has told me that thir-
teen is an unlucky numbr, but
that is hard to believe. I think I
hit it lucky by having been able to
be assigned to the u. S. Navy. I
realize that it will take all types
of Services to win this war, but I
like it best here at cambridge.
Please send me the address of
Robert L. Reichelt if you have it
in your file. I would like to know
just where he is located over here.
I saw Robert Moor last night. He
is surely looking swell, and &C.
cording to what he told me, Rob-
ert may be back in Smyrna on
leave before this letter arrives.
We go to the Center whenever
we have the opportunity to pur-
chase things from the Ship Stores.
Mostly we have to stand in line
before we manage to get inside
the building, and once there you
can only buy two packages of Gig
arettes at a time.
The chow is good at cambridge,
the barracks are warm, and so far
we do not have any kick coming.
/ hope that Mother and Dad won't
worry too much, like parents so
mony times do, since we are all
well taken care of over here.
Well, will sign off for now. With
the best of luck to all in Smyrna,
I remain
Yours truly,

Well, Albert! And so you are
now part of that ever expanding
branch of our armed forces-the
U. S. Navy. Never a better outfit
of its kind in this wide world, sail
or, andI am certainly pleased to
hear you speak so highly of it. 1
sincerely hope that both you and
your brother Alfred, will go
through your stretch of service
successfully. You know there is
an old saying in the Navy-"The
first thirty years are the hardest"
After that you naturally become
accustomed to such changes as
may occur.
Albert, you have asked for Rob-
ert l.. Reichelt's address. This was
published under the date of March
9th, 1945. If you are a subscriber
to The Smyrna Times, you have
already received this, but to be on
the safe side, I'll send it along tc
you by letter anyway. Right now
Robert is going to the G. M
School, and is housed in Barracks
lit l.. Be sure and get in touch
with him if you have the oppor.
tunity. Nothing like meeting uI
with friend from home once vol
enter the Service. You'll both BIZ
glad to see each other.
Best of luck to you sailor, ane
here's hoping that you will do wei
in your chosen branch of Uncle
Sans fighting forces. Be sure ant
keep in touch with this column by
passing the word along from time
to time just how you're making
out in the Navy. Dribbles will al
ways be pleased to hear from you

Mrs. William o. Steele
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Mrs. Steele:
1 just want to drop you a few
lines to let you know your son
Nelson, is well.
Nelson is an excellent soldier;
one I am proud to have in my Sec
ton. He is a fine leader and does
his best on everything he under
takes. I feel I am extremely lucky
to have your son as my right-hand
man. Nelson is surely tops as 6
Staff Sergeant.
I know that you are just like
my folks in that you worry ovel
your son. In this respect, I viii
see that he is taken care of to the
best of my ability, so please do moi
worry about him. I will do every
thing l can to have him write vol
as often as possible.
Please write Nelson as often a.
you can because mail from home
is the biggest factor in keeping VI
morale. Don't let him down.
1 am sure that Nelson will re
turn home a fine man when this
war is over. We are all waiting
for that day.
Very sincerely,

Dribbles wishes to thank DR..
David E. Smith, Townsend, Defa-
ware, R. D. No. 8, for the friendly
manner in which he has shared his
sons letter. Mr.. Smith has a Sec
ond son in the service. He is Staff
Sergeant George w. Smith, sta
toned down at Camp Stewart,
Georgia.
David, your old friend Dribbles
wants to take this opportunity to
wish both of your sons the very
best of good fortune. Some of
these days this war will be over,
and the Boys will be coming home
to try out some of those tender
young frying chickens you're rails
ing UP home. By that time, the
Army restrictions on the sale of
chickens will be a thing of the
past, along with number of
other regulations that apparently
are considered a war time neces-
sity. 1t sure will be a grand day
when Our Boys and Girls return
home, and we can all return to our
normal ways of living. However,
1 fear that those good old days we
think so often about, are gone for
ever. 1t will be a different Amer
lea after the war, and we oldsters
must try and prepare ourselves
for the change; youth will just
take it in their stride.
Good luck on your chicken rails
ing project, David, and thanks
again for the use of Johns V-Mail
letter.
