Europe as the year ended.

Europe as the year ended.
 Topping the general home scene was the reelection of President Roosevelt for a fourth term. Multi ole phases of labor and industry produced the next most important developments with strikes, man. power shortages, incipient recon version, enormous outputs in some fields and lags in others, and the emergency of Labor as a political force. All else differed little from 1943.
 Tn Connecticut, the reelection of Republican Governor Baldwin in the midst of Democratics elec- tion, probably led all news. In Hartford, the circus fire causing 168 deaths was obviously the most-remembered event.
 Locally, the preparation of a new Town Charter and the estab- lishment of a comprehensive juven- ile recreation program were most news-worthy events.

MOSES WIMBISH WRITES

Dear Sirs:
 I have been intending for some time to write your paper-for I really enjoy reading about the home town folks and some if the fellows I went to school with.
 I've had some really interest ing experiences and have been stationed in practically every maj or base in New Guinea. I was also on one of the Dutch Islands-then our biggest show-the present Philippine campaign. I know the papers have and are giving a better account of it than I could.
 It is like stepping into another world, after almost two years in the jungles.
 The people are very handsome, all the girls are beautiful and it is pleasure to finally meet some people who speak English. Pm trying to learn to speak the local dialect.

1914 IN REVIEW

The United States ended it's third year of war and embarked upon fourth, in 1914. For nearly 12 months fortune smiled on American arms. France was freed, Germany invaded. Hopes were high for speedy victory and the notion flirted with pursuits of peace. In December came a sudden resurg- ence of German strength in the west. As 1914 ran out, the Western Front situation was critical for the Allies. Americans at home and abroad regarded for harder days and projects.
 Tn the war news, top events were D-Day, the attempt of German gen erals to kill Hitler, and whiting down of the Axis with the sur render of Bulgaria and Romanla, the American invasion of the Phil ippines, the adverse tide of battles threatening the Allies in western

SAYS EXPERIENCE COUNTS

Advising us of change in his location, Sergeant Frank $. Du- bisky of the US. Marine Corps, who saw his full share of action in the early South Pacific en- agreements, makes the following interesting comments:
 "I've just received four copies of The Messenger dating back to August. They did quite a bit of travelling around but it was still good to receive it. I'm sorry to hear about all the boys getting hurt and passing away because l know we are all looking toward the day we will be getting home and taking up where we left off and talk of old times. We, who are left will surely miss the others and I can't say enough to express by thoughts in saying how sorry I am to hear about them.
 "I was home for Christmas Eve and had to leave on Christmas day to get back on time. I spent a total of twenty hours at home and it really was good to be able to spend Christmas eve and a slight part of Christmas at home instead of dreaming of them as I have in the past. I guess I'd like to spend all the days at home it is impos- sibel, right now.
 "I am now going through my final phase of school which will be completed on the 20th of January and will then be expecting to be going back overseas again. I only hope if 1 do go over for this sec ond time it will be a lot shorter than the first time. I have one consolation and that is that I know now from practical experience in the combat area as to what to look toward and what to expect. I'll never underestimate the enemy and think Pm a regular Sgt. York the way I did the first time be- cause instead of things getting easier as we get along they are going to get harder. We do have one consolation now that that is we now have enough men with practical combat experience to teach all the new men now going overseas with all tactics employed by the enemy and also the new men have all or mostly men who are leading them that are up and know just as much about the enemy as the enemy himself.

but due to our natural enemies, sandflies, mosquitoes, and flies (since the two legged ones are now rounded up in North Africa, l reckon we'll go through this whole affair without seeing at all). We are completed dressed at night even to gloves. We sleep under nets and sweat enough to float a ship. We eat salt tablets by the score and drink water and juices by the gallons (chlorine and alD.
 Persia, land you dream of, or read of in history books. A land of poverty and starvation, and yet a land of ancient glories and cult ure. Persia, land where men are collies by day, and bold plunder- ing, murdering thieves by night. Persia, a land where prostitutes live in sacred glory and disease, and yet a land where each woman's posture is regal due to years of carrying loads on their heads. Persia, a land where children are born like aniamls and live like animals; also fight and survive like animals. Persia, a land where intelligent planning and industry could make all the difference in the world, but where the people are so different that few try to improve them. Persia, land where the soil is more valuable in oil and minerals per acre than any in the world, and yet so barren due to laziness. Are these your ideas of Persia?
 Oh, yes, I was about to forget the dust storms; one is blowing to beat sixty right now. Today, it was hot enough to fry eggs (if you had the eggs) in the open and right now the dust is blowing so had you can hardly see the light in the barracks, a hundred yards away. In fact, the dust is about to completely cover my typewriter while I am using it.

NEW INDUCTEES

Our latest report from the Local Kraft Board advises that the following were inducted from Bloomfield during December:
 Eugene Charles Dexheimer
 Nelson Forest Gagnon
 Dexheimer. brother of Martin R. Dexheimer of the Air Corps was sent to the Army. Gagnon, the fourth son of Mrs. Arthur Gagnon, to enter the service, IS at Sampson, NY. for his boot Navy training.
 Members of the Local Draft Board state that the number ot registrants to be called up for pre-induction examinations in the future would be Considerably heavier" than in the past and that it would be necessary to dip into the deferred classifications PA, 2-B, and 2-C to make up the new quotas.
 Men now engaged in essential industries were cautioned not to change their places of employ ment without first obtaining per mission of the draft board and 1t was further stated that from now on stricter interpretation would be made of regulations governing deferred classifications.
 The increased quotas, it was ex- plained, necessarily meant calling up more married men and those with families. There will be no general reclassification of men now in the deferred classes. Rather, they will be sent to the New Haven induction center for perturbation physicals in their present classifications which will be changed only in event they are passed and actually inducted.

IRAN
by CPL. IGNAZIO FRAGIONE

Here's another narration of Iran; a land that is as old as civiliza- tion, land where the bible began. A land that is sand and silt, mountains and fertile valleys, land that is poverty stricken, land that is ninety per cent illit- crate, and a land that the sun makes so hot that it literally smells, a land that today is the land that only the oil people want.
 We sailed many a watery mile to reach this unforgettable land of Persia. The monotony at sea on a troop ship. The protective safety night, the care taken by the sailors and the captain of the ship, are things you will never know unless you experience it. The glory of tropical sunsets and sunrises, the beauty of moonlit skies, and yet the peril that was below the sea and over the sea, all made us feel that this was a dream and not 8 grim. reality. Those glorious trop- ical moonlit nights were to us a peril, as a sub surfaces at night and we could easily be seen in silhouette.
 To continue with description of the common native we have to leave this beautiful setting and get back to the present day instead of the beginning of time. The natives here are the filthiest, most ignorant, most poverty stricken, most diseased people I have ever seen. Their cities are villages of mud and strow huts Gin passing a house the smell is worse than any barnyard smell on hot mucky day), their sewers are open ditches in the streets from which diseases are spread, for possibly down the line about 100 yards from one mans latrine is another's drinking fountain on the same line. Typhus, cholera, starvation, and chancroid are the principle dis eases. A person at 30 years of age here looks like a gray haired man of 60 or 70 back home. Children's deaths are tremendous and it is case of survival of the fittest in all ways. Their animals are more useful than are the owners.
 I cannot start to describe the filth, for fear of sickening you. Need I saw more than that their latrines are any place they feel the urge, that their marital rela- tions are sacred and yet prostitu- tion flourishes with the starting age of Il years. That the rate of percentage of venereal disease is tremendous. The fields lay bar ren, arid and untouched while wide rivers that could be easily used for irrigation go to waste. Their fine pastures are empty because they are too lazy to herd their sheep to them. They lay in the sun, flies, gnats mosquitoes, and sandflies buzzing over and biting them be- cause they have to brush them off It takes four men, (coolies) to lift 8 box weighing 10 pounds because L I.

BOSTON, MASS. Soundphoto - Gil Dodds ran his last mile. A two miller with the time of 9.58.4, 13 seconds slower than his record breaking effort last year. But it was enough to lap one of his com- petitors once and the rest of the field twice in spite of the fact that they were given a 90 yard handi- cap. Dodds has left for the west to take up his life's work, the teaching of the Gospel.

anniversary of the great home front unity demonstration comes as the 7th War Loan is in its final phases. Take a look at the war loan totals in this news paper. Are you represented by a mighty share? Recall how many bonds you bought in two war loans of 1914 held from Jan uary to July. Have you matched that personal record in the sin
 gle drive held so far this year?
 Take another look at the war
 stories. Japan is unbeaten with war costs mounting every day.
 Europe still requires tremen,
 dously costly attention. And
 surely you would not want to neglect the care of over 530, ,O00 wounded men and women. Ii YOU have already bought as many War Bonds in the 7th War Loan as you thought you could afford, take another look at your resources. Maybe there's enough money left there for still another extra War Bond.

ACCUSE TENANTS
 OF TRESPASSINC
Unusual Case in City Court Today Continued Until
 June 30

Tn an unusual case, two occu- pants who refused to move at re- quest of the owner of a rent at 31 Young street, were arraigned in City Court this morning on charges of trespassing.
 Michael Ciano, att orney for the accused, Venaziano Terenzi GA, and Fred Terenzi, 31, indignantly de- clared that they were mot law breakers" that the matter was purely civil affair.
 MT. and Mrs. Michael CaStaldi, owners of the tenement, toldAPros- ecut or Albert w. Hummel that they desired to occupy the Terenzi's first floor rent but hey had not compiled with their request to vacate. They said the pair, and also, Mary Ter enzi, for whom a warrant was also issued, but who was unable to ap- pear this morning, were not enants but had moved in with the original tenant who has since moved out.
 Judge T. E. Conway continued the case to June 30 with the under standing that the accused would find another rent.
