THE PRICE OF WAR

The growing casualty list of Bloomfield boys is sobering fact. Faded are our hopes that the war would be over before this town would be called upon to pay so great a price. We have come to grips with the grim reality of pro- longed strife and the seriousness of it's toll.
 We cannot give new bodies to those mained in battle nor can we efface the anguish of parents who have learned that their boys have been killed or wounded, but we are moved with pride at the way those immediately affected are taking it. Letters from wounded soldiers indicate that their spirits are by no means broken and parents are revealing a heart-quickening cour- age.
 The mutual stake that Bloom field residents have in this war should unify us in our sympathies and our services. The dead cannot return, but the living will be com ing home. How shall we treat them then?
 All people who have made their homes here should esteem it is much a privilege as a responsibil- ity to assist Bloomfield to repay to the extent that it is passible the debt that we owe to those who have biven so much to safeguard our homes and our liberties.

OUR FINANCES

The advertised shortage of funds to meet the expenses of complet- ing the second year schedule of The Messenger requires this word of explanation.
 Our free list-the Bloomfield men and women in service for whom the paper is printed-has doubled since we started thus ad> ding materially to the general expense.
 The cost of the envelopes used in mailing the paper to our serv ice people has increased likewise as has the cost of printing and general supplies.
 The increase in the list of cas- ualties, prominent promotions, and award winners has added to the expense for cuts. Through the courtesy of the Hartford Times and the Hartford Courant, we are able to borrow any mats they have of Bloomfield people but they do not possess all those we need if we are to maintain the present practice of using newsworthy pictures.
 More subscriptions-at possib- ly a slight increase in price would give us what we need to maintain our present standards and we confess to a poor job in the solicitation of subscriptions. We have no alibi. But taken as whole, the paper is quite a vent ure and as in the case of most volunteer projects, it has fallen to the hands of a very few to manipulate it's affairs. We simply have not had the time to give the attention which should have been devoted to the matter of solicit ing subscriptions.
 The boys like "The Messenger" Public relations officers of the Army and Navy everywhere state that it is a fine morale builder. Most of our local subscribers have expressed their appreciation of our publication. It must be con- tinued and we hope that it's pres ent acknowledged high standard may be maintained. Perhaps with the aid of some such local organ ization as the Legion Post and it's auxiliary, we can raise the nec- essary funds. In any event, we endorse their card party to be held in the High School Auditorium March IT..

A GREAT ROAD JOB

The job he has done in keeping the town roads cleared of snow has given Bloomfield residents another reason for being impress ed with the general efficiency of Town Manager w. T. Williamson.
 The snow fall this winter has already been more than twice the normal depth for full season and there has been abnormal drifting in widespread areas. Still every mile of the town roads has been kept clearer than in any winter within the memory of any local resident.
 Approximately five feet of snow has fallen here and most of it is still on the ground-the play thing of capricious winds. Of the sixteen storms to date, eleven have required clearing and they have been discouragingly regular since November 16.
 To keep the local roads clear it has been necessary for MT. Williamson and his helpers to work every Sunday since January l and an average of two nights a week. On occasions the blows have been kept running twenty-four hours a day.
 The snow of last weeks record storm has given trouble here as elsewhere. There have been un> avoidable delays in it's clearance. However, on the whole, and con- sidering the lack of equipment and regular help, MT. Williamson's accomplishment is most outstand- evidence that he has what it takes.

FREDERICK C. BIDWELL

FREDERICK C. blD" HAH
 Bloomfield has sustained great loss in the passing of Frederick C' Bidwell.
 His presence here was like connecting link between what was hest for the old New England cult nre and what is new in American ,;fe He was a Connecticut Yankee in the finest sense of the term. Tn him were combined those sturdy traits that developed in the rlgor- ous climate of New England ana that contributed so much to make America great.
 In industry and integrity he was inflexible. Only the relentless hand of time could bring to an end the steady expenditure of energy that was directed through many chan nels, and no price was great enough to purchase from him any yielding of principle. His capacity and willingness to do things com bined with the dependability of his character made him an lnval- uable public servant.
 MT. Bidwell was in himself Bloomfield institution for it was here that he was born and lived his life, and here his forebearers, who came into this section with Thomas Hooker, settled. But his mind was not rooted in the past for he was a man of progressive thought and action. He had seen a town caught up in the currents of modern life, and he used his energies and capacities to aid In it's development.
 Men with his background are prone to be austere and reaction ary but in him firmness was sea soned with charity, and a deep respect for the old was blended with belief in the new. It is one thing to command respect, but an other to win affection. MT. Bid we'll was both respected and loved. He will be remembered as much for his gentleness, sympathy and generosity, as for his integrity and industry.
 The services he rendered were never motivated by self-interest and for all the good he did he sought no other reward than the satisfaction of seeing other lives blest and community improved. Whatever tangible memorial may be established in his honor, MT. Bidwell has joined the host invis- ible who live again in lives made better by their presence.

sequent findings of FEPC which
led to the appointment of the
Stacey Committee.
"On December 27, 1943," White
declared, pursuant to Executive
Order 1902 as amended by 9346,
FEPC certified to the President of
the United States ID railroads and
7 rail unions which it had found
Disseminated against Negro work
ers solely on account of race and
color. Thereupon the President
created the special committee on
railroad employment, popularity
known as the Stacey Committee, to
inquire into the matter and to make
recommendations to him.
"Since the Stacey Committee
was created sometime in January,
1914, it has wholly failed to take
any action or make any recon-
mendations to remove or alleviate
discrimination against Negro rail-
road employees and applicants. We,
therefore, call on you as President
of the United States to abolish the
Stacey Committee forthwith and to
order that the findings and recon-
mendations of the FEPC in regard
to railroad hiring practices be put
into immediate effect"
The NAACP will file a brief on
this matter to be presented before
the Mead Committee, formerly the
Truman Committee.

Railroad Picture
Not Any Better
In Twin Cities

While the Army announced this
week that the railroad help short
age has slowed down movement of
troop and hospital trains so badly,
planes will be used to speed the re-
deployment of soldiers and wound
ed, no national mention or move
has been made to aid the recruiting
of workers to the nations railroads
by using Negro manpower.
The picture is not any better in
the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. In
talk with William Seabron, in
dustrial secretary of the Mime
apolis Urban League, this week an
official of the U. S. Railroad Retire
ment Board employment service at
258 Marquette Avenue, said I'M
skilled railroad jobs were being
rapidly filled" with quota of Ne
gro workers. Some had been sent
to the Milwaukee Road in unskilled
capacities, but the call here has
been mostly for skilled workers for
West Coast jobs as boilermakers,
machinists, carpenters, the official
said.
Admits Resistance
He admitted there is a resistance
to the hiring of Negroes by some
local yards, but according to him,
the resistance comes not from the
employers or unions but from the
employees themselves.
In the report, "the Negro Work
er in Minnesota" prepared by Gov
ernor Edward ]. Thye's interracial
commission, the fact is brought out
that while the Northern Pacific,
the Great Northern, the Milwaukee
and the Northwestern gave employ
ment to about 500 Negroes even as
far back as 1884, they worked only
as dining car walters, Pullman port
ers, red caps, car cleaners, and with
the exception of few walters pro-
NOTED to inspectors during the war
period, and few porters appoint
ed to supervisory work, there has
been little or no upgrading.
S. Vincent Owens, executive sec
rotary of the st. Paul Urban
League, said Tuesday, "The dis
elimination pattern still exists"
Stalled by Red Tape
The present critical shortage can
be laid in a great measure to the
failure of certain of the railroad
unions, such as the conductors, to
upgrade qualified Negro workers,
and to the outright, violent OPP
position of others to even hiring
them. For the past three years
Washington red tape and anti-Ne-
gro interests have kept action on
the matter at a standstill.
