ent high spirits. At the best, war
is not pleasant occupation, but
the Boys themselves can do much
to make their own lives agreeable,
or otherwise, by the slant they
take. You're off on the right foot,
so here's hoping that you will
keep right on marching up the
ladder.
My very best wishes to both you
and Albert. How about dropping

how boot" is coming along =?
Meanwhile, smooth sailing, Alfred.
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Dribbles:
am happy to report that my
twins, Albert and Alfred, have
been accepted for duty in the U.
S. Navy. They entered the Ser
vice Tuesday, February 18th, 1945
and are taking their training at
cambridge, Maryland. I there
fore wish that you would put their
names on the Smyrna Honor Roll,
and their addresses in your col
umn.
Thanking you for this kindness,
1 remain
Yours truly,
Charles M. Mace
appreciate your letter, Mr..
Mace, and I am sure that you saw
your sons names entered in this
column under the date of Febru-
ary 22nd, 1945. Alfred's letter was
the first to reach us, so we have
given him the space above yours
in order that both might be an
sWered in the same issue.
Personally, I am pleased to note
that you too are taking the right
slant on your Boys entering the
Service. In times like this, many
folks are looking at the empty
chairs around their dinner tables.
That they be filled again no doubt
is your fondest hope. However, in
face of what must be, a greater
happiness can be gained through
the knowledge that your sons are
in the best and greatest Navy
this world has ever seen. Every
care is exercised to protect both
the lives and the health of our
Boys in the Service. And never
before has invention and medical
science played such big part to
assure our fighting men a safe re-
turn to their loved ones. I'll be
pulling with you all the way, and
praying that Our Boys and Girls
in the Service will be returned to
us as better men and women fol
the experiences they will have
gained through their contacts
made during this war.
Whenever you have bit OF
news you would like to send in,
want you to feel perfectly free to
do so. And don't forget to pass
along any changes of address you
may receive. This is very import
ant if you wish to help serve youl
sons while they are in the Service

Dear Dribbles:
! Please print my sons addresses

friendly letter, Mrs. Carrow. Drib-
bles is just getting around to pub
fishing your request, but the ad-
dresses you sent in were listed in
this column under the date of Feb
ruary 18th, 1945. AS so often
stated in previous issues, letters
must take their turn in the Sc
quence of their arrival, but ad-
dresses never wait. This is the
policy under which this column is
written. In fact, it is the only
fair manner that could be adopted
so that each and everyone is af-
forded the same consideration at
all times. Dribbles hopes that you
will understand.
Your son James was entered in
our column under the date of
March 25th, 1943. The first adj
dress listed with us showed him
stationed at Camp Carson, Colo
RADIO. His next address, although
still stationed at Camp Carson,
listed James with the same En-
gineers outfit he is now serving
with.
We would be pleased to have
your sons write in at any time

over yesterday on N. Gratiot in
juring the occupants of the car.
Undersheriff Thomas H. Kali

driver of the car told her that
several people had been injured
in the vehicle and that he was
going to take them to the hos
