Air Forces
 Announce New Super-Superfort

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-H General Arnold disclosed that United States Air Forces plane was considerably bett than the Superfortress. The plane, he said was capable ranging all over East Asia fir Western Pacific bases. He S the plane wasn't the recently {; nounced B-32, but was a n plane.
 Arnold gave no details of new craft, except that its spe was same as or possibly great than the Superfort, and recall that a Superfort had recent flown from Guam to Washingto a distance of nine thousand mil in thirty six hours.
 He declared the age of "BuC Rogers warfare" was not ia away. The time is coming whe there won't be any crews O bombing planes. He said guide missiles will attain, from jet de vices, speeds which will mak them difficult to knock then down.
 He said that in addition to base on the west coast, Honolulu, Mid way, Wake, the Aleutians and tn Philippines, we must also hay bases in the Marshalls, Mariana: Okinawa and Tokyo. He adde' that Tokyo would have to be use, as a base for quite some time.

wait on bureaus; workers will wait on employers and you and I will wait for everything.
 Idle workers in the soup-line; farmers without markets let crops rot in the field. An ugly picture. The way to avoid it is to let in- dustry convert, sell it's products to people with money and pay the men who work. Imitation can be prevented without starting a pan ic, if OPA will adopt workable rule soon enough. But bureaus are usually more interested in rules than in reasons warts on the nose of progress; bunyons on the toe of time.

DOT INSECTICIDE

Limited quantities of the new insecti- eide, DOT, are now available for civil ian use But the user is cautioned that there is yet great deal to learn about safe usage of the insecticide, the effect it will have on the soil, and the balance of nature with respect to the beneficial in- sects and wild life.
 Widespread usage of DOT cannot be expected until such time as more experi- menting will prove satisfactorily the conditions under which the insecticide can be safely used.

WAITING CONTEST

dUOut WIillSl E'ioCi~iiio III tiiS SN'iii mer time, unless something un- usual happens, cold weather will come again. One of these days a school bell will ring, boy will come down the street bouncing a football and after that it won't be long. Moreover winter calls for a To tof things that are scarce now.
 Let's take shoes as a doWn-to- earth Illustrator. Which is better for keeping a boys feet off the frosty ground, 1922 price ceiling or pair of good, heavy brogues with wool socks in them? That's the problem before the American people, with school bells only a month away. Getting into produc- tion cn civilian goods is what the OPA is currently bungling.
 Hold That Price
 The OPA's war job was to keep prices of needful things from sky rocketing-a noble work requir- ing some stiff rules. But today, with our war won and war busi- ness slack, OPA is still making rules. One of them says: Maru- facturers may make things fol civilians provided they sell at 1922 prices. There's the rub, for fac tory owners ready now to start re- converting, making jobs safe for thelr employees.
 The 1922 price rule stops them; nothing else. Workers want their jobs to .ast. Most civilians have saved some money and want to buy new things. Industry is anx- ious to serve them but very few factories can operate at 1942 prices. Materials cost more now and labor costs more also. There is only one thing to do, namely, beg OPA for special permission to price.up and go U work.
 Mail Bags Full
 The OPA, if you remember, is famous for leaving no stone un- turned, and all that sort of thing. It is rumored that some men in the bureau have their own private opinions about business people anyhow. Before they grant any firm special leave to change a price, they investigate. That's all right, but applications to recon vert are coming in fast, more than 500 a day.
 The bureau will never wind up it's red tape in time. The only pos siblc way out of trouble is to make a reasonable rule for all industry to follow, let whistles blow at 600 a.m.. and ask questions later. Will they do it Who knows Employees and customers would probably cneer loudly for any employer who kept his payroll alive and said "Ph-f-v-v-ut" to the OPA. but it's dangerous.
 Formula For Panic
 Most business men are conserv- ative. They are likely to wait ex- actly as long as the OPA says wait. Unable to do business on l942 prices, they may pull fires from under their boilers and lay oft the crew. Then the waiting

Dear Dribbles:
I see my sons (Russell w. Card
ner) change of address in the cur
rent issue of The Smyrna Times.
I am happy to inform you that
Russell reached the States this
week, and will have new address
in a few days.
Russell called me from Massa-
chusetts twice yesterday and told
me he had arrived two days pre-
viously. He will be moved to an
other hospital this weekend, but
don't know which one.
My son will call me to tell me
where he is being treated, and at
that time I'll drop you a note, with
his new address.
Russell was wounded between
February 4th and 9th, and had
heard from none of the family in
that time. He was very much
concerned about our welfare. Isn't
that unselfsh? Delayed mail was
the reason of course. I wrote at
least forty letters.
Until I can give you further in
forfation, I remain
Respectfully,
Grace NJ Jones
P. S. Two years ago, the night
of April 5, or the morning of April
9Th, RusselPs brother, Harvey
Gardner, Jr.'s ship was lost at sea-
Lloyd Gardner, r. M. 1c, is well
at this writing.
Smyrna times., 1945-04-19

The unfortunate part about the
entire matter, besides having been
wounded, Charles has not received
his Christmas presents as yet, nor
is the mail getting through as it
should. This is quite enough to
make a soldier feel bit down in
the mouth, if anything will.
Although there has been no re-
cent change in Sgt. Charles l..
Stewards address, we're publish
ing it agian this week with the re-
quest that folks from this area
write to our wounded friend. Any
one who wants the full address for
mailing purposes, just drop Drib-
blles a line and the information
will be sent out by return mail.
Besides his parents, Sergeant
Stewart has a very fine wife and

Well, it's certainly mighty good
news to know that Pfc. Russell w.
Gardner is now back in the States.
Just the fact that he is here seems
to make all those who are interest
ed in his welfare feel a bit better.
And folks, when Mrs. Grace M.
Jones sends forward "Rusty's" lat
est address, it would be a swell
thing for everyone of his former
friends to start writing to this
wounded soldier. Perhaps We'll
have this new change in time for
next weeks column. Meanwhile,
don't forget. This young man is
being given high priority on your
writing list.
want to thank you, Mrs. Jones
for the several letters received re-
Gently. Your first letter on the
subject of your sons misfortune
certainly did go astray, but it has
finally arrived. In order that none
of the details might have been
overlooked in our readers minds,
Lribbles has published all three of
your letters in sequence of the
dates upon which they were writ
ten.
1 know that all of "Rusty's"
former friends will join me in
wishing him very speedy recov-
cry from his wounds. They will
also hope that he will be restored
to sound, healthy condition, suit
able to take up his place in life
when this war is over and final
victory is ours.
Unfortunately, we who are not
close to battle action, seldom real
ize how very lucky we really are.
When one reads about the death
and wanton obstruction this war
has sjread over many other nations
of the world, America has been
very lucky indeed. On the other
hand, just turn to the casualty
lists being published almost daily,
and showing our losses in men
killed and wounded, then perhaps
you will say: "This is not luck at
all. These men, whose names ap-
pear before me have fought to
keep war away from America. 1t
is men like these, and millions of
more equally as brave and cour-
ageous, who really stopped the
ruthless foe on foreign soil, so that
our own country might be spared
the horrors of war" Yes, and this
line of reasoning would be only too
true. American Boys are offering
their supreme sacrifice daily so
that we, their loved ones back
home, may be spared the actual
knowledge of what modern war
fare really is. 1t is therefore to
be hoped that all of us, living in
comparative safety and comfort

to the States. Dribbles knows that

ing that Daddy get well as quickly
as possible, and he too joins them
in their prayers.

cry to health will be both rapid
and complete. We must not for

in the light that they deserve. And
let us not forget, unless we make
a strong stand for lasting peace,

Word has been received that
Sgt. Charls L. Stewart III, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Stewart,
Jr., Clayton, Delaware, was wound
ed in action February 26th on the
Island of Luzon, Philippine area.
The extent of Charles wound is
not known; however, it is fair to
assume that he is coming along
reasonably well since he is able to
handle his own correspondence at
the present time. The last letter
received by Charles parents was
sent out of the Manila District un-
der the date of March 9th.
While in the hospital over there,
Sergeant Stewart was attended by
an Army doctor who formerly liv-
ed in Wilmington, Delaware. And
to top this off, Charles had for his
night nurse, Lieutenant and
graduate nurse from the Delaware
Hospital, Wilmington, Delaware.

Dear Friends:
Since 1 find myself with few
spare moments on my hands, I
thought I would drop you a line to
let you know everything is going
along very well for me over here
in this area.
Perhaps one of the motives that
brought about my writing this let
ter is my sister, Jane. She SEEM
d to feel that the folks around
Smyrna would like to know how
things were progressing in my
part of the world.
How are all the boys down at
Wilson Cabinet Company? Tell
them I said "hello," and send my
very best wishes to them. You
might add, that the more work
they do, the sooner we will get
this war over, then all of us can
return home.
And, how are all the folks
around Smyrna? Did you have a
cold winter there this year? :?
Please tell Mr. Jones l said 8hello."
I wonder how many of the boys
are still working down at the
Plant that were there when I en-
tered the Service? Frankly, it
will be one grand day when this
war is over and I can return to
Smyrna and can see my loving
mother and father once more. And
the same goes for my sisters, too.
There is not much change in
things over this way these days.
Have you ever heard from
Reuben Deakyne lately? Where
is he stationed these days?
A fellow sees many things hap
pen over here. feel sincerely sor-
ry for the parents of those Boys
who will never see the States
again. War brought this sorrow
to many homes, and will continue
to do so as long as it lasts.
Before closing, 1 would like to
express a desire to hear from all
my friends back home.
AS ever,

Calvin, we're certainly very glad
to hear from you, and to know
that things are going along fairly
fell for you over in the Mediter-
ranean area. We're also pleased
to know that your sister, Jane
perhaps added the extra push in
having you write in to this col
umn. That's one added credit
mark in the young lady's favor,
and already she stands high in our
esteem; along with mother and
dad.
Son, work down at Wilson Cab
met Company is moving right
along. BY the time you reach
home, you'll not know the place.
There have been quite few i'm
provements, and the production
geared for expansion. Many of
the older men are still down at the
plant, but quite few of the
younger boys are now in the Ser
vice. Your friend, Reuben Dea-
kyne, is back at the plant working
along as usual. No doubt he will
read this article, and if he does,
will likely drop you a line.
Yes, Calvin, I think folks around
these parts will agree, we had q
pretty cold winter during the sea-
son just past. Frankly, it was
cold in more ways than one. With
SO many of the Boys away from
home, it made things seem so diff
ferent. Even the holidays held
little celebrating this past year

out by these people. 1t is hard to
believe that a race could possibly
exist in our so-called civilized
times. However, with facts be-
fore us, and additional data being
gathered almost daily, we should
never allow Germany the slightest
excuse for stirring pity in our
hearts. And the same goes double
for the Japanese. Americans are
likely to forget easily once this
war is over. They forgot all too
quickly after World War I. To
ever repeat this act would be trea-
son against the balance of liberty
loving people in this world. And
although Dribbles does not advo-
vate and eye for an eye policy
against the German and Japanese
races, he does insist that measures
be taken to definitely assure the
peace and safety of the world of
tomorrow. Where whole nations
of people know not the meaning
of human treatment to others,
they should be ruled by the only
method they seem to understand
that bein gforce. If we cannot re-
move the spots from the tiger, we
can at least place the tiger in such
position where his spots will do
no further harm. Our duty to
posterity demands it.
Smyrna times., 1945-04-19

and our Boys were dying for their
country. This did not give anyone
the desire to celebrate the occa-
sion as usual. 1 feel you will un-
derstand how folks were thinking
back home.
Dribbles wishes you the very
best of luck, Calvin. I hope that
you will continue to experience
good fortune while serving over
seas, and return to us before very
long. The way this war is pro-
crossing in Europe at the present
time seems to indicate that the
worst will soon be over. 1 pray to
God that this be true. Down in
your area the Germans are still
putting up strong resistance, but
one of these days this too will
end. Then perhaps you will rate a
furlough home to see the folks.
That will be a great day, my
friend, even though there remains
much to be done in the Pacific
against the Japs. Don't forget to
drop us a line whenever you have
the opportunity. Well always be
glad to hear from you.

Dear Dribbles:
Just in case you have not heard,
my son "Rusty" is on the casualty
list. and is confined in a hospital
for awhile.
To quote him, "he zigged when
he should have Jagged" and two
slugs got him. The result being
that Rusty" is in a cast from his
neck to his waist, including his
left arm. However, his letters to
me were all in his own hand writ
ing, so I believe "Rusty" is making
favorable improvement. His new
address is: Pfc. Russell w. Gard
ner, A. S. N. 33807635, (censored)

was omitted).
Lloyd is still in the Pacific The
atre, and his address remains the
same. His mail comes through
with comforting regularity, and
has no complaints to register, ex-
cept he's like some home-cooked
food.
I'm still enjoying your column
and intend renewing my subscrip-
ton. I'll look into the matter at
an early date.
Good luck to you and yours.

Germany
Dear Folks:
Things have happened SO fast
this week that I cannot even re-
member just when 1 wrote last.
Too, we have been quite busy, and
probably the news that Cologne
has been taken will explain all.
We have changed locations
again. When we first came to this
little town, the Germans had only
moved out short while before us.
We were therefore the first Amer
leans to arrive who stayed for any
length of time. There are only a
very few civilians to be seen, and
all of them are living together in
one part of the town. 1t is real
ly quite funny-one can look out
of the window and see soldier
riding down the street on bicycle
with high silk hat on his head,
or galloping here and there on a
stray horse still another driving
around in a carriage. One circus!
There is even brewery here in
town with about 10000 gallons of
beer stored there. The soldiers
have been going there and getting
it out five gallons at time. Some
place.
Our office is located in what
used to be the post Office. No win
dows for the most part, and rather
drafty. The first day we arrived,
the Personnel Officer told us that
we might sleep in any house that
wasn't occupied-and that includ-
ed about any house in town. We
found one house with four swell
bedrooms, so six of us are sleeping
down there. I have a room all to
myself, single bed, bureau, stove,
one window, etc. I even have a
white spread on my bed. Quite
classy, ehl If 1 want to paly a
piano, I just stop in any house I
come to that happens to have one.
Yesterday, the chimes in the
church steeple started to ring
probably some soldier up there.
One of the fellows even has a mo-
torcycle he found. Some life!
No doubt the war news is very
encouraging to all of you. 1t ap-
pears that the Germans are really
on the run. Maybe it won't last
too much longer.
1 have not had any mail for two
or three days. Perhaps there will
be some this afternoon. I'm go
ing to try to get another package
off to you tonight.
I have quite lot of work to do,
so shall quit for now. Just want
ed to drop few lines so you
would know that I'm safe and
well. Haven't seen Carl and Os-
car for about two weeks. Prob
ably they are quite busy, too.
Write soon.
