Smyrna times., 1945-02-22

Homer, Dribbles would like you
to feel that this column is one
place where you can sound off
whenever you wish. You don't
have to pull your punches when
write in. Just tell our readers
how you are thinking. An ex-
chang of opinions never did any
real harm to the average Amer
lean. However, I would like you
to feel as you continue on in this
war, that your home folks are SOL
idly behind you-they are thinking
about you constantly and they
want to know how things are go
ing for you over there in Burma.
The best of luck to you soldier,
and may God watch over you and
bring you back some day to all
your friends safely.

Dear Dribbles:
I just received your nice Christ
mas card. Thanks lot. Maybe
this time next year there won't be
any need to send Christmas cards
to the Boys over in this theatre of
war.
I have been receiving The Smyr-
ma Times pretty regularly and
Dribbles is usually the first thing
I look at. It's certainly nice to
know where some of your Buddies
are located. Also to have a few
that write to you instead of just
reading your column like me.
I saw Bob" Scorah for couple
of days few months ago. He told
me how Smyrna had changed when
returned on a furlough. I would
like to see "Bill' Minner also, but
we haven't even heard from each
other. I hope he reads your COL
umn and will drop me a line.
Thanks again for the card.
Yours truly,
Thomas Lamb

Thanks for your V-Mail letter,
Tommy. Dribbles is always glad
to hear from you soldier, whenever
you may have bit of spare time
that can be devoted to writing.
Cours, I realize that you have
others besides Dribbles that right
fully have more pressing priority
on your time. That's as it should
be. However, it may be possible
to get word through every once in
awhile to this column, telling us
how goes it, so that your friends
in this part of the world will know
that you are alright. I make this
point because 1 feel sure that those
who knew you before you went
into the Service will be most inter-
ested to know of your progress. A
word through this little medium of
exchange will filter out to about
three or four hundred Service folks
stationed in all parts of the world.
Yes! In exactly the very same
manner that it reaches you, son.
In this weeks issue you will find
"Bill" MINERS most recent ad-
dress, or at least that portion of it
which we are allowed to print
without conflicting with the Office
of War Information's rulings. 1t
is just possible that you can de-
termine from "Bill's" APO. num-
Der where he is located. And to
help this along, I'll pass the COM
plete address along to your brother
Jerry with instructions to forward
It to you. When you receive it,
why not drop BILL line in order
to make the contact. 1 feel quite
sure that bill" will answer you
Perhaps, at some later
late, you and Bill" can arrange a
meeting. Stranger things than this
nave already happened.
Best of luck to you Tommy"
and we hope that you will be get
Ing a furlough back home one of
,hese days before very long. So
Until then we're keeping our fing-
srs crossd. Yes! And don't forget
20 write.
