HALLOWEEN PARTY GREAT SUCCESS
Holiday Spirit Prevails As
 Towns Families Play Together

One of the largest crowds in the history of the Town turned out for Bloomfield's community-wide celebration. More than four hun dred children were entertained at parties at the Federated Church Parish House and twice that many of young. and old mixed in gleeful style at the picturesque dance at the High School gym.
 The evening festivities opened with parade of a score of floats and variously decorated vehicles and hundreds of costumed march CTS. The Bloomfield Fish and Game Club, the Cow Hill Association and F. Watson Burnham won prizes for their parade entries. An estimated crowd of two thousand people witnessed the parade from some point of vantage along it's two mile route which had been pre- fusely decorated with lighted pumpkins placed on and above the abutting residence properties. The line of march took the parade from a point on Park Avenue near the Green through the Center up Win tonbury Avenue and Woodland to Mills Lane and through Mills Lane to Tunxis and past the west side of the park where a reviewing stand had been erected. The par ade was led by the renowned head less character riding one New Eng lands finest show horses. The number of horses appearing in the parade proved a feature.
 At the conclusion of the parade the parties at the Parish House and at the Bloomfield High School began. At the party for the smaller children, Carol Roherer received the prize for the prettiest costume and Dennis Moynihan for the fun-s niest. Tin the group of children be-. tween the ages of eight and eleven, Margaret Bauer received the prize for the prettiest costume; Elinor. Risk, the most original; Gilbert, Larson, the funniest. .~
 Fritz Kjellquist took first prize. at the party in the High School; June Schremmer, second; Winifred Willoughby, third; and. Leon Bar; nard, Jr. consolation.

B.H.S. SOCCER TEAM HAD GREAT SEASON

In completing it's 1914 schedule with a record of wins, 4 ties and only losses, the B.H.S. Soccer team has just closed one of it's best seasons.
 While victories over Ells- worth's fast-steppers high-llghted the local teams record, the gen. eral superiority of the Bloomfield squad is reflected in the winning of at least one game for every on- ponent excepting Windsor whom they tied on both occasions.
 In addition to their outclassing Ellsworth, who had been defeated by no other team in the last 5 years, Bloomfield had a clear edge over Glastonbury and Newington with tie in both instances. The season series was split with Wethersfield and Portland, the loss of game to each of these teams accounting for the only defeats of the season. The scores of the games in the order played were as

We are doing everything We can to see that

Ever since the started, We have apportioned
Del Monte Foods to Del Monte distributors in every

Furthermore, spreading out our Del Monte

So look for and ask for Del Monte Foods.
You have a right 10 your share, and your

Use Del Monies vide variety too. Switching and

Big Crops Don't Always Neon
Big Packs for GviIiuns

The farmers of this country doing great JOB.
Peas are good example The acreage of green peas
sown for processing in 1914 is estimated at 1870 more
than tho five year pre.war average.
Many people feel news like this means our
canned food troubles are over. This isn't true.
One reason is the weather. We had late spring with
rains and foods. Planting late and repanting was
crowded into few short weeks
Complaining our problem was the shortage of sx-
perenced workers.
Peas must be canned at one certain stage in their
development to produce quality pack. This year. the
pea crop matured much faster than usual - and we
started Del Monte pea operations with staff Of
regular field and cannery workers 800 below normal
One thing that saved the day for on peas was the
patriotic help Of hundreds Of citizens Of DeKalb and
Rochelle, Illinois, Sleepy Eye and Wells, Minnesota;
Arlington, Wisconsin,; Ogden, Smithfeld and Spanish
Fork, Utah; Franklin, ldaho and Toppenish. Wash
ington. Among them were housewives, Office workers,
public ofhcials-many of whom had never set foot in
cannery before.
With everybody pulling together, We were
able TO can 500 more than our average pre-
pack. But military needs have grown.
Last year. every member of the industry turned over
10 the government ~ OF lis pack OF canned peas tins
year. the government will require double that amount
Sodespte all the fine about crops and packs there
probably will be fewer canned peas for civilians
The harvest of green beans and corn is not COM
pleted Weather is always tremendous hazard with
any vegetable CROP 1t looks today there would be
plenty of string beans. There is danger that
tinued dry weather will affect the crop. But
if it doesn't the best hope for is civilian sup
nIy Of corn souewhat Iess than last
Tomatoes only beginning to ripen Present pros
poets for pack as large last years. But tho
going into civilian distribution will be oonsid
erably less.
In short, the vegetable outlook is not promising.
