TUCKER SETS RECORD FOR RECOVERY OF CAR

Officer Clarence Tucker of the local police set something of record early this month in recov- ering a car alleged to have been stolen in Hartford before the alarm was sounded from Hartford police headquarters.
 He was bringing two juveniles whom he had apprehended in a car without a license or registra- ton to headquarters when a call came over his radio that the vehicle had been stolen. The radio dispatcher sent the call at 7:38 pm. and at 7:59 p.m., Officer Tucker notified him that he had the car and two Hartford boys who had been found driving it.
 The automobile, 1889 sedan, owned by John Beldack of 46 Birch Street, Rocky Hill, was taken from in front of 31 Owen Street, Hartford. Officer Tucker had stopped the car for having only one headlight.
 The boys were turned over to the Hartford juvenile authorities.

LOCAL DANGER MAY BE
 ON THE WAY TO JAPAN

Miss Shirley Mikkelsen, widely known Bloomfield dancer, has been granted an addition before the talent casters of the USO in antic- ipation of an engagement with a troup of entertainers which will embark soon for Japan and tour of the American Army camps in that area.
 In 1914 and again this year, Miss Mikklesen was the runner-up in the State beauty pageant staged for the selection of Miss Connect icut, and chance to compete for the title of Miss America in the famed beauty show at Atlantic City. The study of dancing has received her major attention since her graduation from the local high school a year ago and she has been teaching dancing since early last June.
 Significant may be considered the fact that this is the second opportunity Miss Mikkelsen has had to addition for a USO pro- duction. Illness prevented her from trying for dancing roll in the Chocolate Soldier which was cre- ated last month and theatrical agents believe the second invita- tion may mean that her accept ance is already assured.

BASKET BALL TEAM
 HITTING GOOD PACE

In outscoring their opponents by almost two to one and winning four of their five games, the Bloomfield High School basket ball team gives promise of having one of the best seasons in the history of the school.
 The local five has taken two games from Canton and one each from Portland and Windsor Locks. Their only loss has been an over time thriller which Suffield copped by 29 to 28 score.
 Billy Clark the teams clever center is the high point scorer to date, but big Fred Pro and Frankie LaPenna also rank high in the basket making department, as does the dependable Jack Lagan.
