Thank you Miss Martha Steller
for the information concerning the
change of address of Cpl. T-5 Louis
Steller, your brother.
After going through training,
and the italian campaign in the
Infantry, it must be quite a change
for Louis to have been transferred
to the Engineers. However, it is
certainly understandable that En-
gineers are now more needed in
Italy than Infantry men. Frankly,
I had hoped that Louis would be
among those who received a bit of
a break, and have an opportunity
to return to the States. The change
over to the Engineers may not
have effected his opportunity, but
it sure looks that way to me at the
moment.
The next time you write Louis,
please tell him that his old friend
Dribbles says "hello," and would
like to hear all about this business
of turning a Combat Infantry man
into an Engineer. After all, it
might have meant the short way
home, and if this is true, I'm all
for it.

We thank you very much Mrs.
Anna Johnson for having sent in
your sons latest change of ad-
dress. This new address was pub
lished in the column under the
date of July 10th, 1945. No doubt
you have checked on this long be-
fore the present date.
know that you must be very
much pleased to learn that your
son has gone through many battles
and is still safe and sound in both
mind and body. If you will but
stop and think about it, this is
something for which any mother
can be very thankful. 1 am quite
sure that your many prayers have
been answered. And, although
John may not be among the first
to be returned to the States, l feel
you will rejoice in the knowledge
that your son will return to you in
much the same manner as when he
left our small community. This is
indeed a great blessing, and I too
am very happy to hear the good
news. Please tell John that Drib-
bles wishes him the very best luck,
and hopes that it will not be many
months before he is back safely
among his former friends in Della
ware. I know he will be happy
when that day arrives.
Yes, and don't forget to keep
this column informed as to any
further changes on Johns address.
We will appreciate your co-opera-
tion to this extent as long as your
son remains in the Service

out while they are in the Service;
however, in this respect we must
depend largely upon the folks who
are closest to them to keep us in
formed. This is where you will
come in if you will, so please pass
the information right along. Well
do our bit until this war is over,
and the usefulness of the column
is ended.
Word has been received that
Sergeant Tech. Erich Hengst has
returned to the States recently.
He was among those who were
given an honorable discharge at
Fort Dix, New Jersey during the
past few days.
Welcome back Sergeant Hengst.
We're very glad to have you with
us, and hope that your future will
be filed with much happiness. 1t
goes without saying that both
mother and dad are quite pleased to
have you home, to say nothing of
what the good wife is thinking
about it.
The last time we received infor-
nation concerning your where
abouts, you were stationed in Eng
land. Well, it's been a mighty long
way around to reach home, but
perhaps you may now feel that it
was worth every bit of the
journey. One thing sure, most of
the Boys will have a different ap-
probation of what United States
means to them, after comparing it
with the other countries they have
travelled through. 1 am giving big
odds that you will agree, it was
well worth fighting for.
Congratulations to Jack" and
Helen Robinson who celebrated
their seventh wedding anniversary
last Sunday, July 29th.
The best of luck my friends, and
l hope that you will have many
more such occasions to celebrate
in the future as years pass you by;
each one more happy than the last.
You know, this business of being
in love, though married, is just
about the incest state of mind
that 1 can think of at the present
moment. 1t is especially good
when folks are working hard at it.
Thanks for the post card show
ing the Empire State Building,
New York City. Since you mailed
this, things have happened to this
wonderful building that many
folks will want to forget. God is
indeed both good and merciful, but
in this busy time, it just seems
that He simply cannot look out fol
everyone regardless of what they
do. Life is only beautiful wher
you can live it. One careless act
and you're a long time dead.
Thank you Mrs. Bartha R. Far.
les for having sent through Pvt
Herman D. fuckers latest change
of address. We appreciate very
much the way you have cooperatet
with this column during the week:
that Herman has been in the Ser

According to our records, Her
man entered the column on Feb
ruary 4th, 1943, almost two ane
one-half years ago. During thi.
time you have been most faithful
in keeping us advised as to where
Herman has been stationed, anc

 JUNEAU VISITOR

Paying his first visit to South east Alaska, although he has been in Northern Canada and the h. terior, F. E. Walsh of San Fran cisco, General Superintendent of the USED, is visiting in Juneau this week.
 He left the Alaska Military High way two months ago and will be in Juneau until assigned to a new station. He said he likes Juneau very much" ''

 Speaking of the Alaska Highway, he said a good dirt road had been built and it now had an all Can adian maintenance crew. Ask | if the road would be kept open after the war, he replied: When they turn it over to the Canadians six months after the war is over, weeds will grow in the road"
 He explained this by saying that interests in Eastern Canada did not want the Western part of the country developed.
