Themselves Into Failure

good thing of their jobs or to
carve out real career for them
selves, they never get around to
it. They 60 right on for years
working on a temporary basis.
There is no percentage in either
men Or women looking on a job
as temporary, unless at the same
time they are laying plans and
working toward the achievement
of some permanent career.
BECOME A FIXTURE
If they aren't making plans,
they most likely will become a
fixture on the temporary job or
just trade it for another tempo
rary' one.
And they stand to lose more
than the elevator man who lost

he was a temporary employee
for At years.
They stand to lose their chance
at success and the satisfaction of
creating a plan for a career and
carrying it through to completion.

The man who retired after run

of Commons for As years, but
failed to get a pension because
for all those years he ranked as
temporary employee" was the
victim of the kind of attitude a
lot OF people take toward their
jobs.
Instead of admitting to them
selves that they will be working
at their same kind of job for years
to come and SO had better try to
do a job as well as they can,
they let the months and the years
slip by while they work haphaz-
ardly and think of themselves as
merely marking time, until some
thing better comes along"
In this group are the women
who will probably never marry,

night before last. I guess she will
want to frame it because didn't

pages before. I told her about
everything I could think of. Since
they do not censor our mail any
more, I really gave her the news.
I will try to give you some now.

to the effect, that we would not be
the first troops there, but we
would see some action. When we
arrived, we nearly made it to shore
and the balance of the way was
accomplished by the use of landing
boats. When we finally arrived
ashore, it was just getting dark,
then Jerry came over with his
planes and bombed the duce out of
the place.
That is the way it was until
Naples fell, and the way it has
been all the way up Italy until we
got the ferries on the run in this
last drive and they threw up the
sponge.
Well, I've told you about all that
I didn't tell Lillian. I guess I'll be
taking for a month, perhaps year
when I finally do get home.
I'm going to close for now,It is
just about chow time, and the boys
are coming in from work.
Love to all, and write soon.

Well old chap, here I am finally

you thought 1 had forgotten you.
Well,I hadn't. I trust you will for
give me for not getting in touch
with you sooner.
1t sure would be great to be
back in the old home town about
now. 1 can imagine that all the
flowers and trees are very pretty
during the late spring days. This
is one of the times in the year
when everything looks nice back
in Smyrna.
1 guess this will be good news
for you. We see real women here
where I am stationed. 1t sure was
a very agreeable surprise to gaze
upon a real woman once more af-
ter we landed: not having seen one
for about eighteen months. The
favorable change made fellow
feel quite alright.
Here we have women do oul
washing for us. You know, Il
seemed funny to me for at least 9
week or so, not having to do my
own laundry, after having done II
for such a long period. Yes, anc
these women really do a nice jot
of it too. Some of the natives car
speak pretty good English, and are
nice looking. However, you car
still give me a good old American
girl, back there in the good ole
home town.

Dear Dribbles:
Thanks very kindly for having
entered my sons change of ad-
dress.
We received our first letter to-
day. 1t was the first we had from
Walter since April 10th. Part of
the reason for his delay in writing
was because he is moving about
so fast that he did not have time
to write or receive his mail.
AS you perhaps know, Walter
was wounded in the arm while in
action. He has now received the
Purple Heart award. We are very
thankful to know that he is fully
recovered and back with his Com
pany again.
Since last writing you, Walter
has been advanced to the rank of
Private First Class.
The letter we received from
Walter was rather short, but it
sure brought a lot of happiness to
us to know that he is back helping
to do his part for the mutual good
of our country, the United States
| of America.
Sent in by Walters mother.
Mrs. Walter l.. Brown
Smyrna times., 1945-06-07

Thanks a lot for your letter con-
corning Walter, your son. We
were very glad to learn that Wal
ter had fully recovered, and back
with his outfit. Although you did
not indicate it in, your communica-
ton, we assume that Walter is still
to be reached at A. P. O. No. 45O,
c Postmaster, New York City,
New York. If this is not true,
please send through his most re-
cent address.
Tell Walter that Dribbles is
pleased to hear that he has receiv-
ed an advance in rank. I am quite
sure that he deserved it, along
with his Purple Heart decoration
for having been wounded in action.
Let us hope that from here on out,
Walter will meet up with nothing
but the best of luck.
Once Walter gets stopped long
enough to have a bit of spare time
to write, tell him to drop us a line
and send a message through to his
friends, both in the Service, and
those he left back at home. Well
be pleased to hear from him.
