MIR. MERCHANT:
Please

As wartime measure TO save coal. trans
portation. manpower. and critical ma
terials. the War Production Board has
requested a nationwide conservation OF
electricity in these categories: LIGHTED
SIGNS. SHOW WINDOWS. DECORA-
TIVE AND ORNAMENTAL LIGHTING.
SHOWCASES. BUILDING ENTRANCES.
INTERIOR ILLUMINATION. AIR
CONDITIONING.
This program is voluntary. But its impor-
lance cannot be emphasized too strongly.
Thousands Of tons Of coal each day are
required to manufacture electricity. and
when you save electricity you save coal
and other war materials. Desired savings
in light and power can be obtained by
turning off lights and equipment which
are not necessary.
In our Company there is no shortage OF
generating plant or distribution facilities.
But saving electricity today is patriotic
obligation. This nationwide voluntary pro-
gram includes ALL public utilities-gas.
telephone. water. transportation-as well
as electricity. Your help and the help OF all
our customers will make the Govern
ment's conservation program a success.

Milk Subsidies 10 Save
Ceiling Prices Cancelled

Iy the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department no.
titled Federal milk marketing off,
cias In the New York, Chicago and
Duluth-Superior areas last night
that Federal subsidies to milk han
dlers would be discontinued at mid
night, but that some price adjust
ments would be made in the
markets.
No details were disclosed as to the
price adjustments, but it was under
stood that detailed announcement
would be made soon by the Agricul-
ture Department.
The subsidies were paid to han
dlers on month-to-month basis to
prevent increases in ceiling prices
after retail prices of dairy products
had been frozen at the level of last
March Is.
The farmers prices, under Federal
marketing agreements effective in
the three areas, were based on the
prices of manufactured dairy prod
ucts, such as butter, and these prices
were not frozen until October. Milk
handlers had complained they were
caught in squeeze between increas-
Ing prices which had to be paid
farmers and the price ceiling.

MarshaII's Thanks Ga
To Far-F|ung Army foI
GaIIantry, Forftude
Chief Of StoH Expresses
Confidence Of Triumph
In New Yeor Message

Short-wave radio today carried the
thanks Of Gen. George G. Marshall,
Army Chief Of Staff, to American
troops at the far flung outposts and
into the combat areas. To them he
extended thanks for the gallantry
and fortitude with which you are
representing the honor of the Ma
ton in its fight for the decent things
of life" And he promised them, SO
far as it is possible, "the honor of a
Schance at the enemy"
The message follows:
This New Year Day finds Amer
lean soldiers in every corner of the
world. You are fighting on many
fronts, in the Aleutians, the Solo,
mons and the jungles Of New
Guinea. Your planes are pounding
the enemy in Burma and China. In
North Africa the battle is on, and
our bombers and fighters are sweep
ing across the English Channel into
France and Belgium.
ITO those Of you who now bear the
burden OF the battle we send our
thanks for the gallantry and forti-
tude with which you are representing
the honor of the Nation in its fight
for the decent things of life.
For those of you who garrison
the outposts and lines of commu-
nication from the Arctic Circle to
equatorial Africa we feel a great
debt of gratitude for the fine SOL
dierly manner in which you accept
the dangers and hardships of your
isolated posts of duty. Your task
In some respects is probably the
most difficult Of all and I wish you
to feel that so far as we find it pos
sible you will be given the honor Of
a chance at the enemy.
To the great Army in training
we send our thanks for the high
morale and energy with which the
task of preparation has been under
taken.
ITO all I send New Year greet
ings with complete confidence in the
triumph Of the cause for which we
and our Allied comrades are all
fighting"

THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL

It is not at all surprising that the establishment of permanent War Memorial to honor the Towns World War II veterans IS al ready the subject of frequent loc- al conversation. Bloomfield has al ways been quick to pay tribute to it's past war heroes and is certain to be equally prompt in register ing recognition of the services or those engaged in the present con- flict.
 While it is altogether too early to attempt a decision as to what the new memorial shall be 1t IS not too soon to invite thoughtful consideration and the submission of suggestions.
 Such proposals as a combined library and museum, additional park and playground facllltles' and building providing club room accommodations for the veterans of all wars, forecast a new trend or thought on the subject of memor- ials which will likely eliminate anything akin to the monuments favored by previous generations.

DOGS ARE RECRUITING

"Every dog in town should be at war. No, not war with the neighbor's cat or the little cur down the street but helping our pals fight the nasty Nazis and the iumpy-eyed Japs" barks a Spaniel in neatly tracked note addressed to all dogs. Then he continues
 "T am one of the offical re- cruiters for the War Dog Fund in Bloomfield. You see, like most of you dogs, We are not qualified to become combatants and take a place with the boys in uniform on the actual battle fields. We are what you might call 4-F dogs.
 "But, as in the case of our mas ters' armies, there's got to be, a civilian unit to support those who do the actual fighting and that's where we can set our teeth
 "We work via the masters pock- etbook.

We've received V-Mail letter from Clarence Nelson at an Air Base somewhere in the South Pacific: Received my first copy of "The Messenger" and golly! it's swell. I was surprised at all the fellows I knew that were men, toned in it.You may be sure l read every single word. I showed it to some of my shipmates and they said they wished someone would start one in their home town =. I wish I could tell you a few things about myself and my base, but no can do." It's good to know that we're getting around to the boys, Clarence. We hope you'll continue to welcome us. Keep up the good work.
 Sergeant Edgar Tex Stevens is with the AT Bomb. Group, 8O6, Bomb Sq., Army Air Base, Pueblo, Colorado. He tells us that his last copy of "The Messenger" hit seven other camps before he finally re- ceived it, but he did get it. Yes, Ed, we can send you some of the addresses of the other fellows you know, if you tell us who they are.
 Fred Trombley writes from Camp Hood in Texas, too: 'I am in an outfit that has several home town boys in it. I was greatly sur prised the day when we received new bunch of rockies in, and in cluded in them were seventeen fel- lows from our district. Some of them are Ken Hedin, Roger Fyler, Frank Sudol, Knickerbocker, two twins whose name I can't recall (Wyman, we think); they are sure making good soldiers" Fred is 1st Lieutenant. Good luck, Fred. Thanks for writing.
 There's V-Mail letter that we should like to quote in full, be- cause it is short and so cheerful: This is one of your little home town boys coming to you from Frank Bucks Blue Heaven'- namely, Africa. I was more than happy when a sad looking sergeant trapped on my fOXhOle door and handed by lowly assistant your brain child -''The Messenger" It's swell of all of you to devote your time and energy to such noble cause. I read word day, to make it last. There are times when my stomach and I dream of Bloomfield's lovely cider, and Do- Nuts, and my heart of it's beauti- full girls.

 Mrs. Joseph Carlucci of 173 Tunxis Avenue was blueberrying in Somers last Sunday when her reflections on the luciousness of blueberry pie were interrupted by the sound of an ominous rattle. She looked down to see within a foot of her feet (no pun intended) the deadly snake that has buttons on his tail. By her own admission she immediately made enough feminine noise to announce the presence of the intruder to the entire population of Somers. We can speak a bit facetiously of the episode now that Mrs. Carlucci is we'll over the shock, and looking back at it as a rather thrilling ex- perience, but the immediate effect was to sufficiently upset her as to make it advisable for her to spend three days in St. Francis Hospital. Now she is home, and we trust that she still believes that blueberry pie tastes best to the one who picks his own berries. She may thank her stars that the rattle snake like some cars we have known, rattles before it strikes.
 The countryside of Bloomfield is resplendent with Joe Pye weed and goldenrod, but we observe it with some wistfulness for it be- tokens the approach of fall. Fur thermore, the late summer flow CTS should be most enjoyed by guys and gals walking along coun- try roads. But where are the guys to walk with the gals?
 Corn and tomatoes, beans and heets right out of the garden. We can forget (almost) that we used to be carnivorous, and that only lately we growled for a piece of meat. On second thought we have a nostalgia recollection that home grown vegetables used to look wonderful surrounding juicy sirloin.
 Where is the service station man that used to ask us if we were weaning the car when we asked for three gallons of gas? He is supplanted by man with a "Where did you get the coupon ?" expression.
 When we heard over the radio the other day that our planes had blown up one of the main gas works in Italy, we thought at first that it might mean that Mussolini had been hit, but it developed that hn +N
