BLOOMFIELD BOYS DECORATED FOR BATTLE ACTION

(Continued from page 1, col. A B-25 Mitchell Medium Bomber and has been mentioned in two previ- ous War Department dispatches for his destruction of enemy cargo vessels, railroad terminals and docks.
 Grossi's operations at the pres ent time probably take him to the Mediterranean Islands and the south of Italy, perhaps close to Naples where he has relatives.
 There is an interesting coinci- dence in the experience of Yer lilo and his pal Riley. The boys were friends before the war. They joined the army the same day and were graduated from technical training school together. When orders came to go abroad they found themselves on the same transport and upon arrival in Af- rica were assigned to the same tent. Later they went into action together, were wounded in the same action. Both are thirty, and joined the army a year ago March 29.
 Verrillo has been returned to the United States and now is be- ing treated at the hospital at Camp Dix, New Jersey.
 Corporal Milvae is now in a North African Hospital and has hopes of getting home soon. He was inducted at Hartford May 29, 1942 and was landed in North Af- rica last November with the first contingent to set foot on that con- tinent.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES HONOR TOWNS DEAD

With the Honorable Leo Dowl ling, Judge Advocate, Dept of Conn. American Legion, heading the festivities as speaker of the day, Bloomfield honored it's war dead Decoration Day with a par ade and appropriate services at Mountain View Cemetery, Roberts Green and the High School.
 Although attendance was ob- viously curtailed by current gaso- line bans, both the parade and the services were unusually impress sive. Participating in the parade were units representing the local Legion post, it's ladies' auxiliary, Scout Cub Pack, Civil Air Pilots, local First Aid, the Woman's Motor Corps, the schools, the Bloomfield Battalion of the State Guard Reserves and the Center Volunteer Fire Department with the Scout fife and drum corps furnishing the marching music.
 Forming at the High School Building at two o'clock the parade proceeded along Park and Mount ain Avenues to the cemetery hill. Graves were decorated. The pro- cession then returned to Roberts Green for a brief service at the Monument and thence back to the High School auditorium for fur ther exercises.

TOWN MAY BENEFIT BY SUPER HIGHWAY

Proposed plans for the postwar conversion of Bradley Field into a great transatlantic commercial air port terminal and the building of an eight lane parkway from Hartford through Bloomfield to the field has aroused great inter- est here because of the benefits such a road would be to the town.
 The suggested new super high way, as mapped by the state High way Department, spans the Farm ington River south of the pres ent Spoonville Bridge, and con- tinues to Bradley Field on a route somewhat south of the Old Bear Hill Road.
 Since the discontinuance of all but it's very limited freight service to Bloomfield center and the de- struction of the tracks north of the plantation, conversion of the railway right of way for some such motor highway, as is now pro- posed, has been the subject of fre- quent discussion by local groups and it is understood the Town Plan Commission and the Village Improvement Association will be requested to cooperate with the promoters in their endeavor to bring the combined project to the immediate attention of the newly created Connecticut Post War Planning Board.
 In urging support of the pro- posal to develop Bradley Field as a postwar terminus fer inter- national air transportation those fostering the plan stress it's physi- cal equipment, freedom from fog, proximity to source of large ton mage freight and the saving in transportation time as against ter minal points farther inland.

THE BOYS IN UNIFORM PRAISE "THE MESSENGER"

"The Messenger is very good and greatly appreciated' advises Staff Sergeant Larensen now with a bomb squadron at Columbia, sc. ''It is precisely the kind of news and information that we want and like to hear about" is the appraisal of Walter Sudol of the Amarillo, Texas Army Air Field.
 Clarence H. Baughton of the Engineers Corps, Camp Maxery, Paris, Texas says "Td like to get it every day instead of once a month" Makes a fellow feel good to know what his old pals are doing in this fight" says Jack Cosker of Fort Meade, Maryland. And from John "Dags" Clark of the Naval Training Station at Samp- son, N.Y. Congratulations to the staff on the fine paper. I read it page by page before I did any thing else. I get a Hartford paper every day but for those of us in the service it doesn't compare with the Messenger"
 "It is very interesting" writes Ed Barrieau from Keesler Field, Missouri. Contains lot of infor- nation" says Angelo Gilli. And Every much appreciated" accord ing to Bill Schaal of Fit. Knox. ''I didn't expect it to be what it was" confesses Paul Malinasky of the 51st College Training Detach- ment at Rochester, New York, ''but the surprise was a pleasant one," he continues, and one of the incest things of all was the letter from Miss Robinson"
 "You can't imagine how excited l was over the first copy of The Messenger" reports Paul Krikar- off from the Santa Ana Army Air Base. 'T wish it were published more than once a month, then I would not have to wait so long for my next edition."
 Like a letter from home and one of the incest things you could do" claims Leonard Levinson writ ing from Camp Livingston, Louisi- ana. "The folks promised to send me all the news but after reading the Messenger I am convinced they missed a thing or two.

STEPHEN |. FRANCIS RENAMED DEPUTY SHERIFF

Sheriff Joseph w. Harding has announced the re-appointment and installation of Stephen L. Francis as Deputy Sheriff.
 This is the second term for MT. Francis as Bloomfield's represent ative on the County Sheriff's staff. He replaced Melville H. Barnard four years ago. His re-appoint- ment, despite his failure to gain the endorsement of the local Town Committee, attests to his reputa- tion for satisfactory performance of duties.

BLOOMFIELD "CAPTURED" IN TRI-STATE MANEUVERS

Lost!
 That was the fate of beautiful Bloomfield in widespread army maeuvers Sunday, May 16, cover ing the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
 The maneuvers had been planned to bring into local action all civ ilian defense units. Most of those in Bloomfield, as checked by the volunteers of the State Guard re- serves and notably the First Aid CTS functioned is good fashion once on the job. However "the invasion," according to Lieutenant Norman Webber, executive officer of the day, "took place theoretically with out opposition" because of what he termed "tardiness in reporting for duty and some misunderstood ing of responsibilities.

TO MAKE HOSPITAL UNIT A TOWN MEMORIAL

The establishment of a unit in the Hartford Hospital as a town memorial has been the aim of the local committee in it's campaign for subscriptions to the hospitals building fund.
 Figures on the amount subscrib ed are not yet available; therefore the character of the memorial unit cannot be determined immediately but members of the committe re- port highly satisfactory results in the local solicitation and express the belief that when they have been properly credited with the subscriptions of all Bloomfield res idents, regardless of their source as is planned, they will be able to select an attractive and worth while unit for such a memorial.
 The local solicitation, conducted under the direction of J Doyle Dewitt, Bloomfield Avenue, was a part of a general campaign cover ing fourteen towns in the county outside of Greater Hartford in which residents of Bloomfield are playing prominent roles. Prior to his removal from town June 1, w Gayer Dominick, Duncaster Road, served as Chairman of the County Division. Dexter B. Peck, also of Duncaster Road, is member of the Divisions Executive Council. Town Manager and Mrs. John P. Ramsey and Mrs. William F. Slaymaker of Kenmore Road are members of the Special Gift Com mittee of the public phase of solicitation in Hartford.
 Aiding Mr. Dewitt in the Bloom field Campaign were Miss Marion L. Pinney and L. Coates Colt, Vice Chairmen, and Joseph P. Vincent, Jack D. Taylor, Mrs. Ruth M. Chamberlain, Mrs. Henry E. Hol- comb, Mrs. F. Basil Austin, T. Campbell Milvae, Miss Ruth B. Banfield, Hans c. Christensen, Lloyd w. Moulton and Mrs. F. Watson Burnham, who served as commanders of sub-districts.
