Correspondent Tells Of Kodiak

Kodiak will probably retain the commanding admiral and hls staff for some time and is now es- tablished as a permanent base, Al Newman, correspondent for Newsweek magazlne, one Of a party of correspondents who vis- ited here recently, reported in the Nov. 26 issue of the period isal.
 Describing the local base, he said: "There are no quonset huts; personnel live in well-insulated white buildings which are cen tially heated. Some of the pres ent officers quarters are Well-de- signed flats for families, which will arrive when the present slt- uation finally shakes down. Kod- iak's present population tthe base) is about 2000 men aud of fcers plus 130 women-nurses Red Cross and civilian workers. The peacetime quota will be cut to about one-ouarter of this"

Base Liquor Smuggling Brings Dealer Ultimatun

Claiming that "hquor is get ting onto the naval base in large quantities" with resulting "liots and racial trouble", Col. H. 5. Massie, USING, provost marshal for the Kodiak Aleutian area, appeared at the city council meeting Monday to present an ultimatum issued to local liquor dealers.
 Declaring that the action was' the result "of fights every night' caused by drinkingeof liquor that IS being smuggled onto the base ''by the case'', Col. Massie said the ultimatnm was drawn up af- ter consultation with Captain R. R. Lyons, commandant of the naval operating base It provides:
 l. No liquor shall be sold to any intoxicated person, either by bottle or drink.
 ?. Only 1 bottle shall be sold in any one day to any service man.
 3. Where more than 1 bottle is sold to any civilian, that per- sons name is to be taken and reported to the military police. The rule regarding civilians is necessary, he explained, ih order to get names to check in an at tempt to stop the smuggling that is going on. Col. Massie said he was aware that limited amount of the liquor IS being smuggled through the guard gate, but that it is expected that the greater amount IS arriving on the base by boat. Guards have been posted on all military docks, he said.
 If any dealer does not cooper
  ate in these rules, Col. Massie said, he will be closed down by being posted out of bounds or by removal of his license. Col. Massie asked the council for CO., operation in the latter action and Mayor o A. Torgerson, speaking for the group, said the council would be behind any proper liquor enforcement.

10 MISS Eunlce Anthony, Smyr-
ma, Delaware:
Thank you very much for your
note of several weeks ago in which
you so kindly furnished this col
umn with Pvt. James w. An
thony's change of address. This
address was printed in the Janu-
ary 25th issue of The Smyrna
Times so that his many friends in
the Service might know just
where to contact him.
We trust that you will continue
to drop us a line each and every
time James address is changed.
Your cooperation is most welcome
in this respect.
To Franklin Woodall, Kenton,
Delaware:
Again thanks for having sent in
your brother Jesse's address back
in February. This was listed in
our Honor Roll under the date of
March LIST, 1945.
We note from where Jesse is
stationed that he's chosen the In
fantry for his branch of the Ser
vice in this war. That calls for
quite a lot of marching, and many
other things which go into making
rugged soldier. Many of our
local Boys are stationed down at
Camp Blanding, Florida, so I'm
quite sure that Jesse did not grow
lonesome during his period of
basic training. BY the way, this
should be about over if my guess
is correct. So don't forget to
keep me posted on any change of
address that may come along.
Yes! And don't let your friends
in and around Kenton lose sight
OF the fact that Dribbles is always
looking out for any changes of ad-
dress that they can furnish. You
sent in quite number of names
since this column started, and it
would be mighty nice if you were
to remind the families of these
Boys to file their changes of ad-
dresses with Dribbles as soon as
they are received. This would be

umn.
To Mrs. Florence Starkey, Clay
ton, Delaware:
This will acknowledge with
thanks your letter of several
weeks ago, containing the address
es of your two sons, Pvt. Elwood
R. Starkey and Pvt. Alfred E.
Starkey. heseT changes appeared
in this column under the date of
January 25th, 1945.
We trust you will forgive this
tardy reply to your kindness; how
ever, we're just to the point where
we hope to be able to catch up
with the incoming mail. You
know, our policy is to serve every
one alike as nearly as possible. If
any preference is shown, it goes to
Boys who are serving overseas,
and your editor does not feel that
anyone would raise their voice
against this.
Dribbles would like you to feel
right at home when it comes to
furnishing news for your sons
friends. So please pass along any
thing you might feel would be of
interest to our readers. At the
same time, tell both Elwood and
Alfred we would be very glad to
hear from them direct if they can
manage to squeeze out a bit of
time for writing. Meanwhile, 1
want to wish these Boys the very
best of luck, and trust that the
war in Europe will be brought to a
close before many more weeks
have passed. When this happens,
it may very well offer an oppor-
tunity for a furlough home.
know that this would make you
most happy. Please don't forget
to send in any changes of address
that may occur in the future.
To Mrs. William Fretz, Clayton,
Delaware:
1 want to thank you for the
friendly letter you wrote on behalf
of your son, Pvt. Herbert L.
Fretz who is now serving some
where in the Pacific area. You
tell Herbert 1 will be glad to hear
from hi mwhen he can find little
more time to write, meanwhile,
I'm more than pleased to have his
mother pinch hit for him.

I find that his address was sent in

Herbert should have had change
of address since then, and it would
be right in order if you would
send it over to Dribbles so that 1
can make the change in next
weeks column. I feel sure you
will do this if the information is
That's the only way we
have of keeping up with Our Boys
