CONG. FENN DROPS
 OUT OF CONTEST FOR DENOMINATION
(Continued From First Page)

moned him to Washington for an other examination last week. The result of this examination, Congress man Fenn said, shows him to be in satisfactory health, but fear of a re- currence of his previous ailment compelled the physician to advise him 10 keep away from any unusual strain or anxiety. In view of this advice, Mir. Fem said he has decided not to engage any further in the present congressional contest.
 No Reference to Seymour
 Congressman Fenn's statement that he would support the nominee picked at the convention makes no reference to Colonel Seymour, but it is interpreted to imply that if the West Hartford candidate is nomi- mated. Mir. Fenn as veteran mem Der of the republican party will give his aid to him.
 The entire district was surprised recently when long after MT. Tenn announced his candidacy for renom- ination, a boom for Colonel Seymour was started by Willard E. Rogers and Frank E. Newton who had been leaders in the Fenn organization for the past ten years. Others who join ed Mr. Rogers and MT. Newton in working for the defeat of MT. Fenn were George H. Cohen, assistant United States attorney; Frank E. Healy of Windsor Locks; Eugene w.. House of Glastonbury, Judge Ray mond A. Johnson of Manchester and other republicans prominent in the G. O. P. machine.
 Tobacco growers and dealers join ed in the opposition to MT, Fenn and assisted in lining up the sena- torial districts for MT. Seymour.
 Conducted Own Campaign
 Congressman Fenn conducted his own campaign and replied to critics of his work in congress by publish ing letters received from leading to- bacco men opposed to him, in which it was revealed that Mir. Fenn had cooperated with their efforts in get ting higher tobacco tariffs to the full extent of his powers and that, in fact, his activities in their behalf were commended by those who join ed the Seymour forces.
 Congressman Fenn concludes his fifth successive term in congress. He is chairman of the census commit tee which is seeking the passage of a reapportionment bill, which, if adopted, would give Connecticut q congressman at-large, and which would change the present sys- tenn of congressional representation throughout the country. The con- gressman has devoted much of his time to this measure. In fact, his efforts in behalf of the bill haro linked his name with the act to such an extent that it is sometimes refer red to as the Fenn bill.
 With Mir. Fenn out of the con- gressional picture, the nomination of Mir. Seymour is believed certain. Mayor George A. Quigley of New Britain. for whom the New Britain and Burlington delegates were pledged, has also removed himself as a possible candidate by freeing these delegations from their pledge Mayor Quigley had not sought the nomination, but was prepared to re- main in the background as a likely dark horse" or compromise candi- date if the convention became dead locked over MT. Fem and MT. Sey- mour.

Excellent Reasons for
Popularity of Fences

AS an artistic background for grow

coziness to home whether of chain

and inexpensive as some fences are,

stucco. this hedging in of ones home
does more than add merely to it's love-
illness.
1t gives added safety to property
and pets and-most important of all
to small children.
Danger grows yearly in our city and
even in our suburban streets and this
danger is big reason for the increas-
ing return to popularity of the fence.
Another is the stress laid on the inn

the summer months. A third reason

Slogans are advocated as an aid to
a healthy mental outlook by James d.
Weinland, who considers their effect
and lists a number in, an article in
Hygeia Magazine.
A good slogan can brighten our
whole horizon, fill us with courage and
be an emotional stimulus. 1t directs
and holds the attention to a bracing
thought. For instance, when man is
down in the dumps it is comforting to
think that "the men who try to do
something and fail are infinitely bet
ter than those who try to do nothing
and succeed" or that there are more
chances and opportunities in life than
we know"
There are slogans hidden away in
the worlds literature that fit almost
