RED KILLEFER'S CHANCE
Red killefer, who came to the
Stars fresh from successes VI h
the Seattle and Mission outfits OF
days gone by. was the first to lay
his neck on the block. He lasted two
years
Then because he could get the
Stars no higher than sixth in the
league standings, the front office
boys dropped him pronto for Mr
Sweeney Willie tried hard, getting
the Stars up to fourth place in 194l
but that wasn't enough, and the
welcome mat was put out for a
fabulous baseball character, Oscar
Witt, who managed the original
Hollywood club from 192634.
Oscar had lots of success in those
days, snaring two pennants, but
after a dismal season in which the
Twinks plopped to seventh place,
Oscar found himself on baseball's S
retired list.
Then came the venerable Charlie
Root, eX-Chicago Cub mound star,
who turned down a tWo-year con-
tract earlier in the 1914 season
when the Stars were riding high,
because he didn't think the front
office was dropping enough coin in
his jeans.
Followed the big crash when the
Stars suddenly nOSedived to sixth
place and Mr. Root thought maybe
he should have linked that contract
when he had the chance.
So today, amidst many honey
coated words from the front office,
Buck Fausett, the fancy fielding,
hard hitting third baSeman on last
years Twink squad, takes over the
reins.
SAID TOO MUCH
Radio Announcer Fred Haney,
former ST. Louis Brown manager,
was thought to have the inside
track for the job, but rumor has
it he offended the front office boys
when he said he wouldn't be inter-
ested unless he would have to be
responsible to only one boss in
stead of TO-
Older. more experienced baseball
men have failed to field a winning
club and get along with the man
agement before, but perhaps eager
Buck Fausett will be able to turn
the trick.

of order to remind any such pros pective builder that Bloomfield is traditionally colonial. Probably no
 other town of it's size in all New England can boast of such a large percentage of it's homes as dating from the 18th Century. Nor has any other community followed so closely the colonial style of archi- lecture in it's residential building in the intervening years.
 The two beautiful ancient church structures at the Center-prideful community possessions which link Bloomfield with what was Winton- bury and it's early 1900 birthright -signalize the inspiring and at tractive place the Center business district can be made. Situated as they are at either end of Roberts Green these two excellently styled colonial buildings form a natural axis for a development of con- forming Early American design.
 The compelling influence of these two church buildings upon the minds of those who know Bloomfield is the fact that they are what one recalls first in any thought of the Center. It is of these buildings, our attractive homes, and the rolling hills-all that is typical of things American and Colonial-that our servicemen admit they are thinking when, writing from the squalor of for eign battle fields, they plead ''Please Keep Bloomfield Beauti- full" =. Such thought as has been given to the Towns need for new public buildings (and there has been considerable) pictures a new Town Hall, a combination Library and Historical Society Building, and a Memorial Community House providing club rooms for all serv- ice men as we'll as quarters for town-wide recreational and other activities. The image of these buildings portrays them as Colon ial in style and located in the i'm mediate vicinity of the Green. It is logical to anticipate such struct- ures and their erection as soon as they can be afforded. Their need is paramount. It is logical also to map their location, perhaps even option the desired properties, be- fore expensive improvements have been installed and in order to guarantee a harmonizing effect through some comprehensive plan for the Center's development even if it means encouraging some de- lay in meeting this emergency need for new postal quarters.
 It is known that a great many of the owners of the properties that would be involved favor such planning and that they look with similar favor upon the proposal that Bloomfield be made truly Colonial Village. It is believed that committee of representatives from the Town Plan Commission, the Village Improvement Associa- tion, and the Property Owners

KEEP BLOOMFIELD COLONIAL

Every resident of the Town of Bloomfield, especially the prop erty owners, should be taking quick note of what the call for bids on a new Post Office room may mean to the community.
 There can be no argument about the need of new Post Office quart CTS. The present space is wholly inadeouate and quite incapable of providing such facilities as are required to meet the service de- mands of the rapidly growing business of the Office which has now graduated to a Second Class rating.
 But there is more involved than the increased space and improved equipment which is sought for the convenience of the Post Office at tendants and the public they serve. The provision of such enhanced facilities may require new build ing and in face of this possibility there arises such pertinent ques- tions as: "What sort of building should it be-" "Where should 1t be located?"
 With one exception there has been nothing in the way of new business building erected within the commercial business zone of the Center for nearly half cent ury. Most of the present buildings, including the Town Hall, will, of necessity, have to be replaced within comparatively few years. The architecture of any sizeable commercial building erected at this time might we'll set the pat tern for the Center's future struct ures. Its location can likewise in fluence a hodgepodge setting harmful to adjacent property val ues or encourage a we'll conceived plan of development of the Com munity's future building require ments in the better interst of property owners as a whole.
 Certainly it is in order to remind any prospective developer of Center business property that Bloomfield is inherently resi- dential community and thanks to farsighted zoning plan which has prohibited unit dwellings and prescribed extra large building lots, the area which can be served by the districts tradespeople will never experience the over-crowd- ing which has accompanied the development of so many of it's neighboring localities. This, of course, means that the number of commercial establishments requir- ed to meet the maximum trade possibilities of the area will be limited that the Center itself will always remain pretty much of a residential community-and any new construction of any nature should be located and styled with the view of safe guarding the value and desirablity of the house and lot next door or across the

Plant Bulbs Now
For Winter Flowers
By ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

bulbs of each kind I have
bought. 1 plant a pan or two or
three of each kind. The num-
Der of bulbs in a pan and the
depth of planting depends on
the size of the individual bulbs.
However, you can't 60 far wrong
in any container as small as a
bulb pan.
Bury Outdoors
When the soil is all filled into
the pans and firmed thoroughly
leaving space at the top for
water, / load all of them into
the wheelbarrow and wheel
them TO where l can bury them
in the ground in various shady
spots. Not because they need
shade, but because these places
are usually under trees and pro-
tected from the worst frosts. -
The bulbs are left buried
about eight inches deep (set in
at ground level with soil thrown
over them to that depth until
after the first Of the year. Then
l bring them in. one or two pans
at a time. to the basement first
for a week, then into the sun
room till they bloom.
Its surprising how quickly
they burst forth. Crocuses take
eight TO 10 days from the time
they come indoors, grape hya-
cinths a bit longer, narcissi
about two and a half weeks.
while tulips take longest of all.
Each and every kind adds JOY
and color to the months that
would otherwise be devoid of
bloom.
