Three Brad|eyites To Receive
 Medals at Ceremonies oday

on August fourth, 1914. On that evening a PAY crashed near the barracks occupied by Medeiros and four other members of the Medical Section-Sgt. Alvin c. Balser, Pfc. Edward E. Lally, IT,, Cpl. Wilton H. Robinson and Cpl. Anthony Tavarozzi, IT,, who have since been transferred from this Base. The men snatched fire extinguishers and ran to the burning plane. AL though there was imminent danger of explosion of gasoline tanks, Cpl. Medeiros, at the risk of his life, climbed onto the burning plane and, with the help of his comrades, removed the semi-conscious pilot from the wreckage and carried him to safety. All five men have been awarded the Soldiers Medal for heroism.
 During the presentation cere- monies, which will also include the awarding of medals to thirty Con- necticut families on behalf of their sons or husbands, Colonel Johnson will be assisted by members of his staff. The Westover Field band, troops of enlisted men and Wacs and color guard will participate. All military and civilian personnel of Bradley Field are invited to at tend the impressive event.

 The Silver Star for gallantry in action on the Anzio beachhead will be presented to Sgt. David Good noff, a guard at the Prisoner of Wan Branch Camp. On February sixteenth, 1914, Sgt. (then Pfc.) Goodnoff and a comrade covered the displacement when the com mand post of his company was forced to move during a severe enemy attack. He remained at his post in a building, although hand grenades were" thrown into the room he occupied and though enc my artillery scored several direct hits on the building. The two In fantrymen fought off a consider able enemy force, preventing all at tempts at infiltration. When all personnel and equipment had been moved, they succeeded in making their way back to their organiza- tion under cover of darkness.

 Hold Four Parties
 In the year just completed the NCO Club sponsored four parties for members and guests. One Sun day in June the playground at Lake Compounce was the scene of some raucous merrymaking when the Club held an outdoor picnic there. In August the Riverside Clambake Grounds resounded to another multi-stripers' affair and in October, the main dining room of the Bridgeway Hotel in Spring field was the site chosen for a din- ner-dance. That spot was also util- ized for the gigantic Christmas Party on December twenty-frst. Col. H. E. Johnson, Base Com mander, and his staff honored the Club with their presence at the lat ter two functions.

Just one year ago Thursday, March fifteenth, the NCO Club threw open it's portals for the first time to admit the Bradley Field non commissioned officers. Since that date the Club has grown from an obscure organization to the focal point of ."on the Base" recreation.
 During the year of it's life the Clubhouse has undergone many drastic changes until, at the pres ent writing, it has become a real monument to the effort put forth by the pioneens who instigated the proceedings. Of prime importance is the grill which was installed in the latter part of October. Count Ness hamburgers, frankfurters, etc., have found their way to hungry GIs stomachs through the wizardry of Pfc. Silas T. McField, short order cook par excellence.
 Comfortable Rooms
 The upper story of the edifice has been completely furnished with a pool table, two ping pong tables, writing desks, record player and many overstuffed loung- ing chairs. The three rooms off the main lounge have been finished to attract even the most fastidious observer. The Wac Room, in it's "chintzy" atmosphere, contrasts greatly with the typical male card room. The walls of the third room are lined with a complete selection of books to suit almost all avid readers tastes.
 On the lower floor, the kapok cushions lining the wall make even an evening of "just sitting" feel comfortable.

Canned Fruit, Meat
Stolen From Home

Two dozen cans of fruit and home

residence of Mrs. Russell Schaublin,
who lives two and one-half miles
north of Bluffton on the Dan Bad
ertscher farm, while she was on a
two-weeks' visit with her husband in
an Army Camp at Madison, Ala.
When Mrs. Schaublin returned last

of her home unlocked, and the next
day she discovered the loss of the
canned food.
Taken from the basement were IL
cans of sweet cherries, besides IL
cans of pineapple and of home-can-

keep a light from showing, indicating
that the theft may have taken place
at night.

INDUSTRIES and
STORES CLOSE FOR
WEEKS VACATION
Triplett Plants Closed For Week
And Business Places Curtail
Operations Here
Vacation Collaboration Plan Is
Followed Here For Second
Consecutive Year

For the second successive year,
the first week in July is being OBJ
served as a general vacation period
for most of those in Bluffton's war
pushed industries and business
places who plan to take time off
from work this summer.
Success of the wartime collabora-
tion plan inaugurated last year is
seen in the fact that it is beins
repeater this summer on an equally
broad scale which finds industry and
business generally almost at stand
still this week.
To make it official vacation week
for the town, all plants of The
Triplett Electrical Instrument Co.
are closed, and several retail stores,
restaurants, beauty shops, the Star
theatre, ETC., have followed suit.
Others have curtailed operations and
probably never before in history
have so many Bluffton persons been
on vacations at the same time.
All Triplett employees are taking
their vacation at the same time to
insure uninterrupted war production
for the steady grind ahead, and
local business men saw the advis-
ability of following suit at time
when many war workers would be
out of town.
Quite a number, however are
spending vacations at home, because
of crowded travel on trains and
buses, and those who left town found
reservations hard to get.
Some relaxation in gasoline ra-
tioning, however, whereby A stamps
have been made good for six gallons
Of gasoline instead Of four made
short pleasure trips pssible for many
of those who remained at home.
