GRADED PRODUCE
 NOW IS OFFERED
Bridgeport First City in
 State to Make Service Available in Market

Hartford, July 30 Bridgeport residents may be the first to feel the beneficial effects of the na- tion-wide drive to improve health standards. Beginning Monday, July 28, producers using the Bridgeport Farmers Market on Stratford ave- nue offered native-grcwn produce graded according to United States standards, announced State Com missioner of Agriculture Olcott F. King
 The program at the beginning will be on 8 voluntary basis. Crow CTS desiring to pack according to U. s. grades will concentrate on a few commodities at first, with more and more added to the list as the program develops until 1t is ex- pected that all sales will be on a graded basis.
 The Bridgeport Fruit and Vege- table Growers Association has the only farmer-owned market in the state and its president, William Miro of Fairfield, believes that the grading program it is adopting will be mutually beneficial to farmers, retailers and consumers
 All produce sold on the market bearing the U. s. No. grade tag will have to meet the approval of Federal and State Inspectors. Fran cis H. Adams of the State Depart ment of Agriculture will be on the market each morning to inspect the loads of produce. William E. Phil- lips, Marketing Specialist for the USD.A., will advise with growers how to pack according to grade and be available to settle any disputes between buyers and sellers.
 Since selective service revealed that three out of four prsons are below par physically, more atten- ton is being focused upon the health-giving qualities of the pro- tective foods. fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. With the realiza- ton of a greater need of the pro- tective foods from nearby farms the Bridgeport Association called upon the Department of Agricul- ture to help work out a plan that would place these foods in the hands of the consumer in the best quality possible and identified SC that they would get their moneys worth.
 Director of Markets Benjamin F Storrs met with L. M. Chapman Fairfield County Farm Bureau Agent, and a committee of Bridge port growers to decide what could be done. It was felt that by selling produce according to rigidly en- forced grades, the National Defense Program could be aided by increas- ing the consumption of the vital health foods and at the same time prevent unnecessaril yhigh prices and speculation at the expense oi the consumer

CERAMIC COLORS
 MOST EFFECTIVE
New York China and Glass Show Featured By 80
 Exhibitors

The variegated color parade in fall lines of domestic dinnerware glassware and art objects, displayed at the third annual Vanderbilt Ho- tel China and Glass Show, New York city, July 13-19, gave new en1- phasis to Americas progress in the development of ceramic colors. The wide range of shades, clarity and depth of tone, shown in this ex- hibit of over eighty leading Amer ican potters and glass manufactur- CTS, are fresh evidence that our country has achieved an indepen- dent standing in the production of beautifully decorated ware
 An increase in the use of color on glassware was 8 notable feature of the show. vividly colored glass of the type formerly imported from Czechoslovakia and other European countries was offered by several ex- hibitors. New cranberry -colored colored vases and bowls were effec- lively decorated with copper wheel engraving in delicate designs oi birds and flowers. Ruby, deep blue and green were favored colors for cut stemware.
 Other stemware with delicately tinted bowls and clear crystal stems exemplifled the economic value oi ''luster" or stain colors. Chemists of the du Pont company, who per- fected these colors, consider the achievement important because il permits the glass to be colored by spraying instead of by the more ex- pensive batch process. In past year: such decoration required separate tank of glass for each color used one of clear crystal and another o1 color. The two parts were ther fused together. Through the use O. these new stain colors, the stem arle bowl can now be made in one cleal crystal piece and then the bowl car be sprayed with color. The widl range of tints included violet, pink blue, yellow and green. Glass fingeI bowls and table bells were also dis played in transparent colors.
 Decorations on frosted highbal glasses were keyed to the theme o Pan American Unity, bearing names of South American countrie in red or blue script and the mott "All for one-One for all" in Eng fish and Spanish.

 Those of us who escaped after further resistance became impos- sible met again in England, with some thrilling tales to tell. Most of the men, at that time, were fledg- ling flyers, not fully trained in aerial combat. To relieve the bur- den on the British training schools and as part of the empire training scheme, we were all sent to the Netherlands East Indies by cir- cuitous route.
 Now we are going back. During our short stay in the United States we have been deeply impressed by the way the American aid-to-the- Allies effort is gaining momentum Truly, with the growing. power of the Allies, and the knowledge that your nation Is behind us, we can not possibly lose this war.

 New York July 30.--War drums gre beating louder-and faster-in the Far East. The Dutch East In dies-economically rich, strategical- ly important Netherlands island empire-is ready for any eventual fly.
 Obviously, no one can say defin- itely whether or not we shall be forced to fight Japan. We have made great defensive progress in the past year and half-especial- ly in the modernization of our army It is significant of the state of East Indies defenses that my group of pilots, in the pink of con- dition, can be spared for service in Europe, despite the danger-fraught situation in the Indies.
 The East Indies air force has steadily grown in strength. Amer ican planes are arriving in an unin- terrupted stream, practically every ship that puts into port from the United States bringing more planes
 Our Indies pilotss have been schooled in modern aerial battle tactics, using American-Made ma chimes. As a result, we have the feel of most of the newest Ameri- can craft-Glen Martins, Brewster Buffalo,s Curtiss pursuits and Ryan trainers.
