LOCAL RATION BOARD TO BE DISCONTINUED

Under orders of the state OPA director, the Bloomfield War Price and Rationing board will close it's doors and disband Sat- urday, September 29, when the present 18O local boards in the state will be consolidated into 35 area boards, each of which will serve a group of surrounding towns for both rationing and price control activities.
 In this arrangement Bloomfield, Pennington, Burlington, Avon Sim sbury and Canton will be served by the West Hartford board. Other area boards in this vicinity will be established at Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, Windham, Stafford, Windsor Locks, Middle town, Meriden, Winchester, Tor rington and Bristol.
 Commenting upon the discon- tinuance of the local office, J. Senior Washington who has direct ed the Bloomfield's boards oper- ations since it's organization, ex- plained that the termination of gasolene and fuel oil rationing had eliminated approximately 80 per cent of the work of the board and thus removed the necessity of maintaining a staff of any nature here.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

From Robert Garfield, on Okin- ava, comes this interesting and thought-provoking letter dated August 12.
 q wish to thank you ever so much for The Messenger. 1 haven't had any mail for some time and last night I received your paper and it was a Godsend. Stayed up half the night reading it by candlelight and 1t sure boosted my morale. l was sur. prised at the large number ot students from the graduating class of '45 who are attending or plan hing to attend college this fall. They have the right idea for after this war an education is going to mean a lot more than it does now.
 Military censorship forbids me to tell what division I am in but it one of the best in the Pacific. It has fought the Japs all over the Pacific and has really made a name for itself. I am proud to belong to this outfit.
 ''The ones who I felt sorry for on this island are the kids. To me they seem to be just like the kids back home. The ones who suffer from any war are the kids not the adults so we all should try to prevent any wars to spare the kids. In my opinion the only way to prevent war is for the people of all nations to take more interest in their governments. Before the war most people had the idea that the affairs of the gov ernment should be left to the pol iticans for they couldn't be both cred with them. We all know that when our forefathers drew up the Constitution they didn't make it for politicians to run. 1t was made to be run by anyone who had the interest and ability to take part. After the war I hope that the American people take more interest in their government for I am sure we will have a better government

REVEREND THOMAS FOXALL

The whole community will long mourn the death of Reverend Thomas Foxall, learned pastor ot the Bloomfield Federated Church.
 Although a native of the mother country. his instincts and years of study and residence here had made him a down-to-earth New Englander in character-some- thing more than the customary minister.
 He hated pretence and subter- fuge and his unusually attractive nersonalility and advanced study and thinking did not allow him to be austere or reactionary. In hls nulpit he endeavored to represent the church and it's doctrine as free of the narrowness, bigotry, and intolerance that might make It displeasing. While firm in his belief in the new his views were we'll blended with deep respect of the old.
 But in his case, the degree of his success within the parish can not be measured by church attend ance records alone or even the ex- banded activities of that institu- tion's organizations which came under his influence.
 While members of his parish will continue to recall the brlllancee of his sermons and the comfort or his seemingly rare understanding, both young and old outside his designated flock will remember him for his keen interest in all worthwhile community projects, his good sportsmanship, his broad knowledge of worldly affairs, and the picturesque wit and scholarly conversations which prevailed III his democratic comradshlp.
 Although at his best when his uncommon sense of humor could De put into play, widespread will be the influence of the vivid lessons in love, loyalty and courage DOT trayed in his devotion to his fam ily and the stubborn battle he gave an illness which had long since sapped his physical endurance.
 The non-church-going friend he called within an hour of the an nouncement of the landing of the first atomic bomb to say "I've been studying my old physics text book and I can tell you something about this newly discovered force" the tear-stained father of the Catholic faith upon whom he was the first to call after the latter had had word that a favorite son had been killed in action-the ragged lad who remarked after that first hushed moment. "He started this idea of better recre- ation for us"-and the parishoners who called him 'The finest neigh bor a man ever had"-knew Tom Foxall as the great majority in the community knew him-one who faced his difficulties bravely- one whom it will be difficult to replace.
