Mails are Slow with Sons and Grandsons in Service
Mrs. Gilbert H. Scribner, of Milton Road, has one complaint against the U. S. government the mail service does not keep her in close enough conduct with her sons and grandsons in the various theatres of war. Two letters did come this week one from Captain David Scribner, attached to Headquarters Supply Staff in England announcing his promotion to the rank of major. Another son, Romeyn B. Scribner, naval lieutenant in the South Pacific who is recuperating from fever in New Zealand after five months at Guadalcanal. Mrs. Scribner has two grandsons in the service, Gilbert Hilton Scribner 4th, serving as a lieutenant aboard a destroyer in the South Pacific, and William VanDyke Scribner, who is with an anti-aircraft battery at Fort Sheriden, IL. .
