A ACCEPTABLE LOSS

The resignation of Chief F. Watson Burnham from the Bloom field Center Fire Company is sad blow to the District.
 A veteran member of the com pany which he has served as Chief for a decade, Burnham has earned the reputation of being one of the states craftiest fire fight CTS and the community had come to the point of looking upon him as it's greatest assurance against serious fire damage.
 We do not believe that any man is indispensable in any position but it surely will not be easy for the local Fire Company to replace Wat Burnham. He knows fires be- cause he has made a study of them and he is an expert in handl- ing the Districts equipment. All this in combination with his power full physique and great courage made him the possessor of except ional qualifications for the posi- tion he held. Moreover, his pres ence in the Center, day and night, made it possible for him to be "the first on the job" whenever an alarm sounded.
 Fully cognizant of the great debt they owe to Chief Burnham for the thousands of dollars worth of property he has been instru- mental in saving for them, the property owners of the Center Fire District view his retirement with extreme regret.

OUR LADIES GET A GIFT

The loyal ladies of the faithful Messenger group have had their biggest thrill.
 There has always been some thing each month to assure them all the labor attending the keep ing of the difficult records, the gathering of the news, the fold ing of the paper or the stuffing, stamping and addressing of the en- velopes at mailing time, is a worth while task.
 The satisfaction of having some thing to do with the publishing of an item or story that reflects the deeds or doings of neighbors, the compliments of our local subscrib- CTS, or the marvellous letters of appreciation from "the boys" have been their only reward-and all that was expected.
 But now Rocco Russo, the Wood land Avenue farmer boy entrenched with the American forces on New Guinea has these Messenger girls aflutter over a beautiful bracelet which he has sent them in appre- citation of the paper.
 Rock fashioned the piece himself from the extremely rare "cat eye' shells which are found infrequently and only in South Pacific waters. At his suggestion ownership of this highly prized token will be determined by lot.

OUR MISTAKES

We are quite conscious of all the typographical or other mechanical errors that appear in the Messeng- CT. Their frequency smacks of gross carelessness on the part of those who are responsible for the publication.
 But this is not so. We all take pride in our little paper and the job we believe it is doing. We want to be letter perfect and exercise all the care at our command to make it so.
 We are merely victims of cir cumstances. You see to change one letter in a line, you must re- set the whole line. To change or add a word may mean the reset ting of several lines-a whole paragraph. Thus any correction produces the possibility of other errors and a second, or so-called press proof is the only safeguard. We'll, none of us have the time or the gas required to make the extra trip to the print shop that would be necessary to make such a check. We have to leave all that to the printer.
 This is not to infer that our printer is in any manner respon- sible for the mistakes in question. We should not be asking him to read proof on his own handiwork. That is entirely too difficult, par ticularly when the thermometer is registering 1O4 as it was in his shop at press time last month. Cts no wonder he lost three lines from each of the first two para graphs of our lead article)
 No, so far as MT. Carter, our printer, is concerned, he is tops in our book. Except for his coopera- tion and helpful suggestions, his fairness in all things especially his willingness to adjust his oper- ations to our convenience-The Messenger would not be what it is.
 As to our mistakes. We are sorry they occur. But you now know how they happen.

FOUR MORE INJURED

Continued from page 1, col. A been in the South Pacific since April 1943.
 The other three of the newly in jured were all victims of engage ments against the Nazi Germans in France. Word of Cordeira's in- jury reached his parents by way of a telegram from the War Depart nent a few days after he was hit and letter from the same source a week later explained that he was struck in the right arm and leg. While there is reason to believe that Cordeira will be incapacitated for some time, may even be out of action for the duration, it is said that he is not to be considered in serious condition.
 Ernest was inducted into the service April ?, 1943 and received his training at Camp Croft, sc. and Fort Meade, Md. He has been in the European theater only short time.
 Lieutenant Schroeder suffers from compound fracture of the right arm. He was injured July 13 during one of the US. Infantry offensives in France but is now re- ceiving treatment at a general base hospital in England. Although a native of New Britain, Bloom field has been considered his home since his marriage in 1942 to the former Evelyn Pitt who then re- sided at 152 School Street. He was member of the Connecticut National Guard but has been in the Regular Army service for the past three and a half years and on foreign service since last December
 A baby daughter was born to Lieutenant and Mrs. Schroeder at the Hartford Hospital just ten days after he was injured. Mrs. Schroeder is a sister of Howard Pitt of the Maritime Service.
 The nature of the injuries suf- fered by Corporal Klemyk is not known because members of the family have not been available for interview but according to a re- port from the War Department he we seriously wounded in action in France and is now in a Base Hos nital in England. Klemyk is graduate of the Bloomfield High School and still claims Bloomfield as his home although his mother recently moved to 28 Bond St., Hartford.

order that counts" The court up-
held the commissions use Of the So
called prudent investment" method
Of valuing the Hope Gas Co. In order
ing $3,609, ,857 annual reduction In
the rates on natural gas used in
Cleveland and Akron and the Pitts
|burgh area.
Under this method utility
value is fixed on the basis of the
amount "prudently invested" with
certain allowances for depreciation
and improvements.
In another action the court ruled
that selective service boards order
to report for induction must be
obeyed by draft registrant before
he can challenge in the courts the
classification given him by the
board.
The courts 8 to l opinion (Jus-
tice Murphy dissented) asserted
that the Selective Service Act was
aimed at mobilizing the armed
forces speedily and that a board
order to report for induction is
only a necessary and intermediate
step in a united and continuous
process" to achieve that goal.
The decision applied to Nick
Falbo, West Newton, Pa, a member
of Jehovah's Witnesses who con-
tended he should have been classed
as minister, exempt from military
service, instead of a conscientious
objector. He failed to obey a
board order to report at a work
camp and subsequently was SEN
fenced to five years Imprisonment.
