TT WAS THE UNIFORM

Two days after Christmas, MT. Foxall was driving toward home along Wintonbury Avenue when he saw ahead of him a soldier whose suit case and bag indicated that he had just arrived in town on furlough. The day was cold and the pace of the soldier revealed that the baggage was heavy. It was near dinner time, but the pas tor decided that he would practice a bit of Christian charity and take the soldier to his home no matter how far out of the way 1t might be. Why should minister ride and a service man walk.
 The car was slowed up behind the uniformed pedestrian and the driver asked the usual question: "Wanta ride?" "Sure," said the soldier grinning, "since we are both going to the same house." It was Dick Foxall coming home this time in a marine uniform in- stead of the naval outfit that he had worn on a previous occasion. The different uniform and the fact that the lad had put on consider able weight completely fooled the old man.
 Later Dick drove down to the center to pick up his sister who would land on the bus from Hart ford, and again his new uniform acted as momentary disguise. This time the soldier asked, "Wanta ride" and the young lady observ- ing the marine out of corner of her left eye replied "No thank you, l prefer to walk" Marines do not retreat easily and Dick soon had Caroline in the car and in his arms.

DISCOVERED

Andy Fenton has been missing two of his best patrons lately, and Hamburger Row has not seemed the same.
 Jack Hoover and his wife have been absent from their table in Bloomfield's restaurant owing to the illness of Jacks better half. The good lady has our sympathy and solicitations, first because we are sorry she is ill, and second be- cause she had to endure for a while the brand of housekeeping and cooking that, in the scarcity of domestic help, Jack imposed upon her.
 We have only rumors, but they seem to be valid enough to sub stantiate the impression that what Jack did to the groceries was com parable to what the allied airmen did to Hamburg. As cook, Jack is an excellent insurance man. In fact, his culinary accomplishments suggest that he should combine in surance and cooking. The implica- tions are obvious. You take out a policy for your next of kin (we dare not plug for Jacks particular company then you have Jack serve some of his atrocious vict- uals to the insured, and as bene- ficiary you await results.

CRAFTSMANSHIP REQUESTED

The relatives of all those in uni form will applaud the brand of statesmanship urged in an open letter to the President written bv William Barnes of Bloomfield Avenue and printed in the Hart ford Courant, Friday, January /. MT. Barnes declares:
 "The state of the Nation at this moment requires a fortnight ut terance by the President of the United States. This is not the time for a 'Fireside Chat import ant as this may be, for there IS little need of the sweet reason ableness of the Good Neighbor talks at this moment. Rather, the obvious temper of the time and the sub-surface flow of emotion demands an emphatic statement bv the President as Commander in-Chief of the Armed Forces ot the nation. This statement must be clean-cut, a challenge to the American people. It must support the high military spokesman, whether General Marshall or some one else is immaterial, who stated with military directness and sin cerity, that disunity at home IS prolonging the war and costing American lives.
 "The President must now speak, must affirm a clear-cut policy to the effect that sacrifice be unlver- sal by all Americans at home 10 match that of the Armed Forces. This policy will imply that labor refuse to strike; that capital fore 20 excess profits; that farmers avoid subsidies; that distributors obey ceiling prices; that all ot us avoid Black Markets as enemles within our gates, and all of us n,1rchase War Bonds to shorten the war and save American lives.
 "Political expediency, 1t beng an election year, might influence nolitican to 'pussyfoot' in na- tional crisis, to say nothing often sive to anyone. The true states :d+ manship expected of the President will produce a bugle-call call to sacrifice to shorten the war ana save American lives
