Dear Dribbles:
Recently was informed that on
May 18th, 1945, my husband,
Luther M. Adkins, received a di-
rect commission as Second Lieu
tenant in the Signal Corps.
Melvin" as he is better known
to local friends, has served in the
U. S. Army for the past eleven
years, and for the past three years
has been a First Sergeant. He has
been stationed overseas for twen-
ty-two months, and of that time,
served in the Philippines since last
January.
At present Melvins new assign
ment is motor and mess officer of
his Company. He writes that the
new job is proving very interest
ing. Not so long ago, while on an
errand in the city, Melvin saw
Buck" Still. Of course, quite a
meeting for two Boys from the
same home town.
Before very long you will prob
ably hear directly from Melvin.
Please make the following
change of address for your rec
ords: 1t. Luther M. Adkins, A. S.

Dear Dribbles:

Your friend,

We again thank you, Mrs. Lam
bertson. We're also very glad to
note that Albert has been promot-
ed to Sergeant. I feel quite sure
you must be pleased to learn of
your husbands advancement.
1 assume that Albert is in good
health, and doing alright over
there in the Philippines. No doubt,
you have noted in the column that
other Smyrna Boys are now serv-
ing in the same general area in
which your husband is stationed.
1t would be nice if he were to meet
up with some of these fellows be-
fore long. Nothing like meeting
up with friend from home when
you're both over six thousand
miles away from it. It's sort of

1 wish to thank you very much,
Mrs. Katherine E. Adkins for hav-
ing sent in the very good news
about your husbands promotion in
rank to that of Second Lieutenant.
I think this is great, however, 1
feel equally as sure that Melvin
fully deserved his promotion. With
his term of service in the u. S.
Army, and his further wartime ex-
periences, no doubt Melvin will
make splendid officer. I am sure
that his Company will benefit by
his directive services to them.
And, so Melvin ran into Buck"
Still several weeks ago in the city,

BOWMAN GIVING SOUR ANGLE TO
 WAIVER FIDDLE
Veteran HurIer Is Causing Cronin to Rue Sale
 Down River" 10 Reds
By Jack Hand Associated Press Sports Writer)

Prize sleeper play of the baseball seascn appears to be the sleight-of- hand trick by which Cincinnati ac- quired Joe Bowman from the Boston Red Sex for the nominal $7,50C waiver fee.
 Stories about the Mort Cooper Charley Barrett. Buddy Rosar- Frankie Hayes and Joe Medwick- Clyde Kluttz deals have hit the headlines, but Bowman's moving day was buried with the pony league scores and the British football re- suits.
 The 35-year-old righthander has been pitching since 1929 and has seen action with both Philadelphia clubs and the New York Giants and Pittsburgh before the Red Sox bought him back from the minors last year. This spring in Boston he was knocked out three times run ming losing two decisions before Manager Joe Cronin and the other shippers waived him out of the cir cult May 29.
 Once Bowman arrived in Cincin- natl, whether it was the handling Of willy Bill McKechnie of the change of scenery in a new league, he became a ball of fire. Nobody beat him in five outings until the Phillies did the trick July l. In 10 starting appearances to date the veteran has won 8, lost 3 and gone the route eight times, making more than one fan wonder how he was shunted out of the American league.
 As some of the majors went back to work today after one-day va cation on which no games were scheduled, the files were still in- complete on the Cooper Barrett swap that caused so much talk Brother Mort, still troubled by a sore arm, has started only once in a month for Boston and was on record as saying he would be able to take only short turns the rest of the sea- son pending winter operation. Barrett was knocked out of the box two times running by Brooklyn, but he has compiled a 10-4 record in St. Louis and 12-7 for the year

tBy Associated Pressl

All season the Portland Beavers have held their pace-setting posi- tion in the Pacific Coast League because they have proved them selves just too tough nut to be cracked by the runner-up Seattle Rainiers. And, it would seem that Emil Sick's athletes are going to find the same condition prevailing in their current series also.
 Last night the Beavers evened their "crooshal" match with the Sickmen to again forge into the full seven game lead with which they entered the series-the widest margin they have had at any time in the 1945 flag race.
 While Seattle and Portland were battling it out in deadly earnest in the Northwest, the Sacramento Solons yesterday romped gaily to a g to victory over the San Diego Padres and San Francisco tanned Oakland, 12-6, as planetary or some other favorable influence fattened batting averages of PCL perform CTS. The Hollywood 6, Los Angeles 4 count in their cross-country duel was the sanest score of the day.

MADE RATION-FREE
End of Meat Rationing Fails To
Create Any Stir In
Local Markets
Butter Supply Remains Tight
But Meat Plentiful Except
Ham and Bacon &

End of meat rationing and all
other food controls except sugar is
causing scarcely ripple of increas-
ed trade in Bluffton meat markets
as housewives do their shopbing
without ration books for the~frst
time since March %, 1943. -
Meat has been in plentiful sapply
here since early last fall, and with
many cuts unrationed since that
tame the abolition of rationing had
little effect on the volume @ sales,
local butchers said this week..
The butter supply situation, how
ever, was distinctly disappointing.
Altho rationing of butter wss lifted,
there was insufficient butter in town
to meet the. demand, a copdition that
has prevailed for three weeks.
Ham and Bacon
Only meats that are not available
in quantities continue to be ham and
bacon, and the scarcity of those two
choice items has been felt here for
several months.
All fresh meats, however, both
pork and beef, are available m
quantities large enough to answer
the demand, and lifting of rationing
has not caused any appreciable diff
ference in the sales volume. This
is seen as an Indication that for
severalf months Bluffton housewives
have been able tn obtain all the
meats needed, even tho choice cuts
remaine6 on the ration list untn
last Saturday.
SHORTAGES of bqtter partially are
due to Re fact that the end of
ratiorlng homes It the lowest dairy
ploduetior4 period of the year. Be-
cause he smand continues greater
than ~ sNhly, groceries and meat
markets handling butter for the re-
tail trade probably will set up in
formal rationing plans of their own.
How well the supply of lard and
other shortening may meet demands
now that rationing has ceased is a
problem still to be decided, but the
supply has been fairly constant over
the last several months.
Sugar, Tires Only Rationine
Sweeping action of OPA in dis
continuing rationing of all meats
canned fish, food fats and oils leaves
sugar the only food on the ration
list. Tires are the only non-food
item on which rationing controls are
continued.
| OPA last week cautioned consum.
ers to retain Ration Book No. 4 tC
cover sugar purchases, for thai
product may continue on the ratior
list until the close of 1916.
Tires, on the other hand, ma,
come off the ration list shortly aftel
