FOR POSTERITY

As a result of a generous gift from Dr. Eugene L. Bestor, chair man of the Town Council, it will be possible to have copies of the 32 issues of The MESSENGER bound in book form for presenta- tion to the local library, the Con- necticut State Library and the State Adjutant-G General, without using any of the organizations sur plus funds which are to be turned into any future War Memorial Fund.
 It is not claimed that The MES SENGER'S records are perfect. There was no way for us to secure complete list of those who vol unteered their services. However, it is believed that the pages of the paper contain much that will prove of great interest and value to future generations, and that their preservation is, therefore, worth while.

IN APPRECIATION

A close study of any organiza- tion will clearly bear witness to the truth of the oft-repeated statement that "an institution is but the heightened shadow of a man." Regardless of the size or type of organization there is al ways the guiding spirit of one man which holds the destiny of the organization for good or bad.
 Despite the many willing and, we hope, helpful members of the staff of The Messenger, who as-
The messenger., 1945-12-01

in uniform-the thrill of their letters of appreciation and the un- censored stories of their conquests. It could be the absence of calls from prideful mothers the real protectors of our great Republic. It may be the loss of opportunity to spread such good humor as ac- companied Mae Manion's introduc- tion to the Ferdinand of the West Side or Watt Burnham's meeting with the skunk. Perhaps it will be the absence of the privilege to help give town-wide promotion to civic ventures which would benefit the community.
 We know we shall yearn always fer the frequent conferences with Ben Carter of Windsor who printed The Messenger. Without his keen understanding of our objective, his kindly consideration of our handicaps and shortcomings, his generosity as to charges for work done and his all-round helpfulness we could not have made the paper what it has been.
 But likely enough we may miss most of all our meetings for the gathering of news, the assemblages of address changes, the monthly mailing, the discussion of finan- cial problems, the reading of let ters from the boys, and the hear ing of criticisms.
 Our only gauge as to how we'll we may have done with our enter prise has been the continued lib- eral financial support of towns people and the plaudits of those in uniform whom we were organ ized to serve. We are closing out our affairs with tidy balance which will be transferred to the Town Memorial Fund and we possess hundreds of letters written on the various fighting fronts which tell us that The Messenger has meant much to those in ser vice. We have letters also from numerous Army public relations officers attesting to the fact that we have done a commendable job.
The messenger., 1945-12-01

sisted in collecting the funds, pay ing the bills, addressing the envel- opes and mailing each monthly issue, the "lengthened shadow of this service mans paper was Jack Hoover, our tireless editor. It was he who went about like the philosopher Socrates asking ques- tions-on the street, in the homes of service men and over the phone. It was he who clipped the Hart ford papers and finally assembled and either dictated or pounded out on his old Corona, by the painful hunt and peck method, the news that delighted the homesick hearts of Bloomfield's fighting men Tn home training camps, on the seven seas and on the far flung battle fronts of the world.
 It was Jack Hoover who pored over the hundreds of letters from tour boys" who told of their ex- periences, who asked for news about their friends and who spared no words in expressing heartteit thanks for bringing to them each month, in far away places, the most complete news from home re- ceived by any servicemen with whom they came in contact. The morale building qualities of the Messenger soon became so readily apparent to public relations of ficers in the various units to which Bloomfield men were attached that news releases began to be sent direct to the paper, many times ahead of their publication Tn the Hartford papers.
 Other time consuming duties beyond the preparation of the copy that fell to the lot of the editor included: Assistance in compiling mailing lists for the solicitation of new subscriptions; assistance in keeping mailing lists as near up to date as the constant movement of men from camp to camp and be- tween war theaters would permit; makeup of the proof galleys into the final printed page form; and ironing out ruffled feelings of those who differed with the edi- tors views as to the proper content of the paper.
The messenger., 1945-12-01
All in all, the job of editor of the

All in all, the job of editor of the Messenger was both a trying and a tiring task, requiring as it did, nearly seventy hours each month out of the normal leisure hours of a busy mans time. The total time, therefore, given cheerfully, in fact, enthusiastically, to make the life of Bloomfield men more bearable amid the boredom and other un- natural conditions in camps and at battle fronts, was approximately 2,24O hours or 56 work weeks of 40 hours each to publish 32 monthly issues beginning with May 1943.
 Whatever criticism there may have been on the part of Bloom field citizens for the editorial pol icy of the paper, let them pause for moment to consider whether any editor in all history who was "worth his salt" ever pleased "all the people all the time." Let them ask who among them would have been willing to sacrifice over year of his life without the priv ilege of exercising editorial selec- tion. Above all, let us all remem- Der that a paper designed exclus- ively for service men must have done a magnificent job when it's message for 32 months called forth nearly 15OO letters of praise, and not one letter of censure. from service men.
 Our hats are off to you, Jack, for the monumental service you have rendered not only to our fighting men of Bloomfield but also to the nation in it's years of greatest need for fighting morale. We're proud to have had the privilege of working with you. Our hope is that Bloomfield will fall heir to morale building leadership during the days of re- construction ahead equal to that which you have so conscientiously given during the war.
 P.S.-This is one item the editor didn't see in his 32 months on the job.

FAREWELL

This is our adieu-the last bit of copy for the final issue of The Messenger.
 It has been no small task to put our publication together. each month and no member of the edl- torial board will deny the feeling of relief which accompanies re- lease from the responsibility but we do not find it easy to say "good bye."
 For two and thirds years we have been portraying the "goings-on" in the old home town to the boys and girls in the uni formed services. That has meant being on hand to see who took Bill's gal Sal to the dance, the wiener roast, to the skating party, or on the hay ride. It let us in on snatches of letters written in distant camps and read to inti- mates on the Bus or a moonllt cor ner of a veranda. It called for close watch of the development of the lads who came out for base ball, hockey, or basketball. It made us part of the chatter at Docs and the meetings in front of Joe's.
 It ran us to fires and wrecks, took us to church, or the scene ot some deviltry. It required our presence at all births, weddings and funerals, gave us an interest in the annual election of officers in the various clubs and organ izations and sent us to town meet ings and the store stove sessions of political broups and their cleo lions. It made us study Army and Navy insigna and detailed maps of the world in order that we might keep the lady next door in. formed as to the new rating of her neighbor's son or his new sta tion in the great military scheme of affairs. It put us in parades and out soliciting funds for some worthy venture-gave us glimpse of fellow citizens engaged in some defence work or at the task of battling rationing.
 It let us watch fathers contend with worn out lawn mowers which had been manipulated previously by son Joe, made us witnesses to the beauties of nature as It changed the complexion of local and hills, brought spec ial notice to the new house down the street, or the alteration being made on the farm on a more d1s- tant road. Called attention to the road blocking snow drift in winter t1. and the damage of too much water in other months, made us grleve with those stricken with worry and laugh at the jokes of the light hearted.
 In short, we have been too much a part of the village life for too long a period to be able to put the anticipated Corona away With out sensing many extreme regrets;
 We can't decide what we shall miss most. There will be a longing for continued news of those still
