ment at the time he received his
wound.
This young soldiers name was
entered in our file under the date
of March Both, 1914. At that time
he was stationed at Fort McClel-
Ian. Alabama. Dribbles was in
debted to Mr.. Frank ]. Houtman,
Clayton, Delaware for having sent
Russells name in for publication.
Mr.. Houtman is an uncle to the
wounded Paratrooper.
Here's hoping the Pfc. Russell
w. Gardner will have rapid re-
covery from his battle wounds.
According to newspaper reports,
Russell is now being treated in a
hospital in England. Perhaps
those who received this informa-
tion would be kind enough to send
in his new address so that it can
be published in this column. 1t is
quite possible that many of Rus
sells former friends would like to
write to him while he is confined
in bed. That is one of the times
when a soldier likes to get plenty
of mail from home. So don't delay.
To Miss Ann Logan, Smyrna
Welfare Home, Smyrna, Della
ware:
Dribbles wishes to thank you
very much for the interesting re-
port you furnished him on the Ser
vice record of Pfc. Virdin w.
who is now stationed
somewhere in the Philippine ISL
ands. The manner in which you
went into detail in this report
shows both your friendly willing
ness to cooperate with this col
umn, and your personal interest in
Pfc. Hutchins. In either case, the
editor feels your motive most
commendable, and is pleased to

much to be done over in the Pa
cific area. There will be no let up
in our efforts until Japan is con-
quered completely. There will be
plenty of time to stage real cele-
bration after this is accomplished,
and not until then.
Mighty glad to have heard from
you Lea, and don't forget we're
all pulling hard for you fellows
over on the Western Front. Our
prayers are such that you are
never forgotten, and we wish you
only the very best of luck from
here on out. This includes all of
you. Write whenever you have a
breathing spell and let us have the
latest word on how you're making
out over there in Germany.
Private George E. Faulkner,
formerly stationed at an Infantry
Replacement Training Cen tie r,
Camp Blanding, Florida, is now
home on a ten-day furlough.
George is to report back at Fort
George G. Meade, Maryland when
his leave expires,
When talking with this young
soldier one day last week, Drib-
bles noticed that he had already
made the grade on both rifle and
machine gun craftsmanship. This
is very creditable since George has
not been in nthe U. S. Army but a
few short months.
Our very best wishes Private
George E. Faulkner, and don't for

opportunity, as you promised.

Dear Dribbles:
I received your very nice Christ
mas card, and it was very pretty
indeed. I appreciate your remem-
bering me. I also received a
Christmas card from Wilson Cab
met Co., and it was also very nice.
1t has been over two months
since I last wrote tot you. During
that thine have been kept really
busy working on the Ward. Yes,
and 1 do mean busy. All 1 feel
lik doing when I go off work is
dropping into bed. This I usually
do.
Working here with the patients
is very interesting, and to top
them all are the cases where we
administer penicillin. That is Won
derful stuff, and it has many diff
ferent uses. This new drug was
only discovered about three years
ago. They have been using it
about year and one-half over
here. It's not hard to give either.
That is one of my jobs on the
Ward. I have four patients get
tting penicillin every three hours
There are so many units to a &C.
Tn quite an expert in giving
shots. Sometimes you may get a
dull needle, and that's when the
Boys really blame me for it. But
I pay no attention to them, and
just go ahead and give them thteir
shots anyway.
The weather has been rather
good the last tweek or SO. The
sun has been shining, and at
times it felt almost hot. We have
not had snow for over a month,
and / bet you all wish you had this
kind of weather at home right
now. The nights, however, are still
somewhat chilly.
I was promoted a little while
ago to Private First Glass, and 1
also received my Good Conduct
Ribbon and my E. t. o. ribbon for
having served here in Europe.
L get The Smyrna Times about
every week, and sometimes I get
two. 1t is the next thing to being
home when they arrive. All the
Boys in my tent read the paper
and like it.
There are two of us in this hos
pital from Delaware. The other
boy is from Wilmington. His name
is Kendall. He went to P. S. High
School. I've met another boy
from Wilmington who is a patient.
So far, I've met very few fellows
from Delaware.
Right now I'm trying to get a
pass so that I can go into Paris.
If I do, I may have an opportunity

ting these two-day passes, but l
will have to wait my turn.
Well Dribbles, I better bring
this letter to a close because the
lights will go out any minute now.
Please give my regards to all the
folks around the Old Home Town,
and to all the fellows down at VIII

Son, there is certainly no need
of a soldier offering any excuse
for being a bit off in writing these
days, especially when he's one of
the Boys who is moving into Ger
many from Western Front posi-
tions. We know that you have
been busy-very busy. At pres
ent there does not seesm to be any
let up either. Don't forget, that
even though you're not writing
into Dribbles, you're doing a much
bigger job-that of writing his
tory. God bless each and every
one of you for your brave and
noble efforts.
1t is quite possible, that by the
time this weeks copy of The
Smyrna Times reaches you, you
you will have moved across the
Rhine River, deeper into Germany,
and that much nearer to We Day.
During the day Sunday I have
been listening to series of broad
casts of the War News. All re-
ports seem to agree that great
part of the Western Front is on
the move, with many successful
crossings of the Rhine River hav-
ing been made. Tonight it sound
ed like some of the Divisions had
more than good chance for a
break-through. If this should hap
pen, things could develope mighty
fast that would bring about the
end of organized resistance of the
German Army. Let us pray to
God that this will come to pass
quickly. This would be better for
all concerned, even the Germans
themselves. 1t would also be the
means of saving thousands of Our
Boys lives, and much needless
bloodshed. Germany is defeated,
even if the guns have not stopped
firing. From nonw on, the die is
cast. When Germany accepts the
terms of unconditional surrender
is another question.
When We Day does come to
pass, many of us here at home
will celebrate in prayer, since we
all realize that there will still be

drop when you are relieved from
duty each day. The lists being
published in the papers show that
you fellows are kept more than
busy recently. This all follows
any big movement of troops in
war time, especially when the
enemy is just across yonder wait
ing gor you to arrive. This gives
him the opportunity to throw
everything at you but the cook
book, and he makes up for this by
using lalnd mines. However, in
spite of everything the enemy can
throw, Our Boys are moving right
ahead, and the present news is
most encouraging.
With the Rhine River crossed in
force, the greatest natural barrier
to a European victory has been re-
moved. Now Hitler and his Nazi
hordes will come in for the severe
pounding they all deserve. How
much longer the European phase
of this present war will last is as
yet to be determined. How much
punishment the Germans can take,
remains to be seen. I do hope,
however, that when the smoke of
battle clears away, the German
people will have good cause to re-
member this war for a long time
to come. That is one very good
reason why United States must in
sist on Peace in keeping with
the types of crimes Germany has
committed. Perhaps, if this plan
is followed, the German people
will be brought to realize that set
ting put to conqueror the world a
third time will never pay divi-
dents, and that they are not a
master race after all. If Germany
is forced to compensate for all the
material damage that they have
done in the present war, it will be
generations before she will be in
a position to fight another. This
Germany should be made to do.
1t is far better that a nation of
peoples be put to work at rebuild
ing, instead of destroying civiliza-
ton. Nor will this ever compen-
safe, to any degree, the hundreds
of thousands of lives that have
been taken inn the name of the So
called master race. When one
stops to think of the unprovoked
of old men, women and
children in the conquered nations
of Europe, it seems hardly posi-
BILE that such a thing could occur
in these civilized times. People
who have approved such acts GER
tainly have non reason to expect
pity when vanquished. The same
therefore goes for Japan as well.
The best of luck to you, Pete"
and may good fortune follow you
throughout your term of service
in the U. S. Army MEDICAL Corps.

Mr. McMurphy stated that confusion

the present campaign by Big Business
against labor standards and labor or
CARNATIONS.
Because we believe that people
want facts-not lies, and misrepresen-

to make a public statement on its

intelligent opinions about the party
as it is being constantly raised as an

ing the results of 81 years of
hard work, in development of
the land and its improvement
destroyed by the conscienceless
action of the monopoly. Up to
this time no measures of relief
for them are in sight, and as

said: There is no plan = no

The contract under which the power
company agreed to supply water by
pumping, to the Al farms, had been
in effect for 81 years, when without
warning. the farmers received a letter
from the power company informing
them that its services to them would
be discontinued and closing with, what
under the circumstances was certainly
a ghoulish expression, with best
wishes -.
For the past 81 years, the power
company had supplied needed water
to the farmers at S1.75 per acre foot,
most of the farms requiring from 2k
to u acre feet per acre for the crop
season. The contract under which the
company supplied the water in effect
constituted first mortgage on the
land, and its provisions for prompt
payment by the farmers was ruthless
ly enforced
Up to the present time, no action
has been taken by the state admins

A year of participating in and fol-
lowing the debate in Montana over
the MVA is more than enough to en-
able one to predict the line of argu-
ments which its opponents will use
once they start resolution or read a
speech to the senate. In fact, that
line became clear to the present writ
er from his first contact with it many
months ago. 1t is, indeed an old line.
The arguments against the Murray
bill have appeared in one form or an
other in nearly every fight against
social innovations of the last genera
ton. Purdue University sociolog1st,
Theodore X. Moss in recent book,
Resistance to Social Innovations, has
outlined the strategy of their use IN
81 different instances. Moss found
these miserable lodges being dangled
before a befuddled public in the fight
for the Parcel Post act of 1912. They
were used to brighten the voters away
from the Postal Savings act of 1910.
Opponents of Rural Free Delivery
used them in decade of viewing
Withdrawn in 1S9O-1900. They even
danced attendance in the public ar
gument over Bodied Hair in 1921-1S26.
They were battle-wise veterans in the
generation-old fight for Simplified
Spelling (19O7-1935). The South made
use of them in resisting the campaign
against hookworm, 1891-1914. And
they were marched to battle against
Woman Suffrage from 1848 to 1920.
These arguments against social in
yentions constitute a kind of primer
