LARENSEN'S BOMB GROUP RECEIVES UNIT CITATION

The heavy bombardment group with which Staff Sergeant John E.. Larensen operates as ball turret gunner was recently awarded a Distinguished Unit citation for it's stand against more than 200 enemy fighter planes which attacked the group over Germany. Despite the overwhelming odds, the Fortress crews shot down and damaged 65 Nazi planes in the air and damaged or destroyed an additional 35 enemy planes on the ground.
 He was a crew member of one of the Fortresses making the first shuttle bombing mission from 10th AAF base in Italy to a base in Russia. As previously reported, T/Sgt. Maxwell Arbo was also a member of this initial shuttle mission.
 Larensen is the 23 year old son of MT. and Mrs. John Larensen of 793 Blue Hills Ave. He also wears the Air Medal and Three Oak Leaf Clusters.

LOCAL SOLDIER HELPS
 GRAB GERMANS IN ITALY

Leonard N. House, popular local soldier, and three comrades, with only one pistol among them, cap tured four hevily-armed Germans in a recent action on the Fifth Army front in Italy.
 House and his companions, members of a reconnaissance squadron of the 1st Armored Di- vision, had been forced to abandon their damaged armored car about 21a miles behind enemy lines. They were trying to make their way to the Allied line when they spotted four Krauts near a stone wall.
 The car commander, carrying a pistol, the only weapon the CTS had salvaged, fired once and the Krauts, apparently dazed at seeing their enemies appear from the rear, threw down their weapons and surrendered.
 Although the Tanks had to march their prisoners through enemy-infested country, they kept we'll punched, giving the Nazi little chance to shoot without hitting their own men.
 House, the son of Mrs. Ella A. House of 919 Blue Hills Ave-, Bloomfield, was inducted into the service December 4, 1942. His brother Robert, is serving in the Navy. Prior to entering the Army, House was employed by the Colt Fire Arms Manufacturing Com pany, Hartford.

BRADLEY FIELD PREPARES FOR PRISONERS OF WAR

That prisoners of war definitely will be sent to Bradley Field air base, and possibly soon, is indicat- ed in a report from Washington that the War Department has an- nounced award of a $29,746 con- tract to Franklin Construction Company of Medford, Mass, for construction of camp for the prisoners at the base.
 It was indicated the sum would be used to prepare a stockade and make other installations, possibly using space in certain barracks buildings now on the base.
 No indication was given of how many prisoners will come here. There are many of them at New England Army posts and they are usually assigned to various tasks.

Former Dropped in Air Battle Over Germany; Lawrence Gangell Lost During Engagement in Italy
CANCELL LATELY DECORATED

Two more Bloomfield men have been listed as war casualties. They are Sgt. Nicholas Ostapke- vich of the US. Air Forces based in England and Lawrence Gangell who is with the US. Infantry Division of the Fifth Army now battling in Italy.
 Sgt. Ostapkevich, missing since August "A when the US. bomber upon which he served was shot down in an encounter with Lazl Luftwaffe fighters over Lipzig, Germany, is wounded and in a Ger man prison camp, according to a late report from National Red Cross representative.
 A telegram from the War De- partment carried the first news of Ostapkevich's mishap to his par ents, MT. and Mrs. Joseph Ostap- kevich, 40 Goodman Avenue, on September 6. From the same source it has since been learned that the bomber on which Ostap- kevich acts as engineer and turret gunner was badly damaged in their encounter and crashed on German territory.
 While War Department officials admit that there has been no word from any member of the planes crew, they express the belief most of the men landed safely after bailing out and state they consider them prisoners of the enemy.
 Ostapkevich had been on foreign service less than a month and had been promoted to his sergeancy only two days before his crew en- parked upon their last mission. He was based in England.

TOWNSPEOPLE PLAYING TOGETHER HALLOWEEN
Bloomfield Parents Joining Their Youngsters in Costume Parade and Ball

A mamouth family party with all grown-ups playing with the Towns youth-dadies and mothers masking their years to be kids again for a night-that's Bloom fields plan for Halloween.
 A big parade, with ''the head less horseman," scores of other ghostly characters, horse drawn floats, crowded hay racks and costumed men, women and child ren galore in line, will open the festivities.
 Then at the High School gym after the parade will come big masquerade ball-a community dance with Bob Halprin's orches- tra including Harold Kolb, the boogie woogie pianist, playing. Also special features. Local or ganizations contesting for the honor of producing the funniest stunt. Just fun and nothing but amid typical Halloween decora- tions of corn, pumpkins, and scare crows.
 At the nearby Parish House, a very special supervised party for those under 12, with games galore of the kind you would expect.
 "Yes siree! A big night of fun with all Bloomfield d-old and young'- an instigator. And that is just what is being planned with every organization and all social clubs of the town being asked to cooperate.
 The idea developed from the suggestion of members of the Jun for Fish and Game Club who have learned something about getting a lot of pleasure out of we'll organ ized play and recreation. But it's become a town wide affair. Ken Herman is the General Chairman in charge of all arrangements. Watch for his further announce mentS.
 In the meantime get that cos tune ready. Polish up the old COW bells. There must be noise. You won't have to dance to have fun at this Bloomfield Halloween Jam baree.
 It's different and a grand idea. Be there. Be part of it.

A Season Of Surprises
And Still More TO Come
Government Control of Railroads and
National Service Act Complete Surprise
In Many Quarters.

comment Of my first-quoted observ-

heavily with party tabasco.

AS far as taking the railroads over

was as vital to the war effort as a

Notes From a
Broadcaster's Diary

The following two viewpoints re-
ceived recently are interesting. Here
is the first:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude except as punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted shall exist with
in the United States or any place
subject to their jurisdiction. from
the Constitution of the United States.
The President swore to uphold the
Constitution-the national service
act or the labor draft is involuntary
servitude or human slavery. That's
what he called it in Berlin and Tokyo
and he wants it here. What are we
fighting for?
And now for the second viewpoint
General Eisenhower said we can
win the war in 1914 but everyone
must do his part.
Something must be wrong some
where for him to say that. He knows
it is not the armed forces. So it
must be on the home front. For the
armed forces operate on junction
al Augmentation commanding Of
fcer down, orders are given and
obeyed. Servicemen cannot bargain
with their commanders as to wages,
hours, fighting conditions or make
contracts on cost-plus basis. Their
objective is to win battles.
But on the home front, the objec-
tive is to make money (see Truman
Report. Ships, planes, tanks and
guns are secondary.
We can have a functional opera
ton at home by installing total con-
scription of men, machines, materi-
al and money.
These boys were conscripted to
die. Then why not conscript the
ones at home? If it's good enough
for the armed forces, It's good
enough for the rest of us.
Who can say he Is entitled to
more?

Music Brightens Life in Lonely Outposts;
Soldiers Learn to Play Quickly by Numbers

Music has more than Charm in
lonely army outposts of the North
Atlantic-and the army knows it.
That's why, in Iceland, Greenland,
Newfoundland and Labrador the spe-
cial services division of the army
service forces is emphasizing music.
Trained music advisers in the spe-
cial services division have found
that the incu1cation of musical con-
seriousness among troops of our army
is fostered by teaching them to play
small, basic musical instruments.
'These men will not play in SYM
phonic orchestras, nor do they mas
ter bigger musical instruments"
Capt. George S. Howard, A. u. S.,
who has just returned from three
month tour of Atlantic bases, said,
''but they do learn to carry a tune
on the easiest instruments to learn
harmonica, uku1ele, ocarina and the
tonette, a novel midget clarinet"

Get Workable Budget to Make
Ends Meet Comfortably This Year

First off-don't think in terms Of
your gross income when you consid-
er how you can afford to live. Get
your net income by deducting in
come taxes and war savings from
your gross income.
Even when you start from your
net income, the standard basic
budget for normal times will proba-
bly, need some trimming and fitting
for wartime operation. And usually
this is an individual figure prob
lem. So alter the standard basic
budget to suit. Here are the ac-
cepted percentages that the experts
have worked out for an average FAM
lily: 20 per cent for shelter, % per
cent for food, II percent for house
operation, ii per cent for clothes, 8
per cent for investments and life
insurance, "a per cent for ups and
downs Education, hobbies, sports,
books, car, doctors, hospitals, etc.).

they are afraid the government win
take their industry over too. The
railroads are a warning"
And then, if you want to take one
highly unofficial explanation from a
nobody as far as off1cialdom goes,
but from a man who has fought In
his own little sphere for things he
believes in, I'll throw 1t in for good
measure.
The comment was applied to the
Presidents call for national serv-
ice act, not the seizure of the roads,
but it applies to both. This observ.
er observed:
politics? No. The guy just wants
to win the war;"

have had something to do with it

Washington, ID. G..

This is the season of surprises
won't mention at this moment the
big one which will cause your eye
brows to 60 up at an early date III
they haven't already.
I'll mention two others-on the la
Dor front-since they represent two
of the neatest problems with which
congress still has to deal and which
are particularly full of dynamite be-
cause of the coming elections. And
elections are bound to color the acts
of every public man from now until
the ides of November.
We are used to it now because 1t
happened some time age, and the
effects were not visible to the naked
eye-but-one big surprise that shook
Washington as the year ended was
the sudden announcement on
balmy Monday evening in Deem
Der which ordered the army to take
over the railroads.
All over Washington the day be-
fore, that day too, as matter OF
fact, you could have collected fine
odds against such a thing happen
ing. Not that people were betting
on that subject itself; what they
were betting on, those who ought to
have been (and I still believe Were)
in the know, was that there would
be no railroad strike.
The second big surprise is still
having it's sharp repercussions al
though it happened not so much
more recently than the other event
to which it was closely linked.
