The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-15
This, That, And The Other BY THE MAN AROUND TOWN

I script, with more to come. Guess, Waterbury Is not such a bad place to live in after all. By the way, the Waterbury school teachers should appreciate | Comptroller Leary more and more every day. He had their en- ' velopes right on time for Christ mas just as he has had on every occasion when they were due during the depression. | Attorneys Ed Sweeney. and Ed Bobbin doing their Russian act at the meeting of the bar association in The Elton Tuesday night. They were talking about good judges and god lawyers-In fact men in general, who could do things.
 You should go to see Meyer" said Sweeney.
 Meyer Jennings?" asked Bob- bin.
 "No. not Meyer Jennings" re- piled Sweeney.
 Bobbin mentioned many other names but Sweeney said, ''No, No" What Meyer" demanded Bob- bin.
 Meyer Hayes" said Sweeney with plenty of gusto. "See what he did. He went to Europe a few weeks ago, hopped over to Russia and strengthened everything out. Litvinoff followed him back to the United States. Came right to Wa terbury and met Meyer Hayes. But Meyer Hayes said he was only one of the little bosses and told him he would have to go to Washing ton to meet the big boss. That's tfha Hind nf ~,oor Mava, ;C
 It received one of the biggest hands of the night.
 Judge Jennings-He finishes ,ld1 his term ip Waterbury very shortly. In fact to-day he held his last short calendar. He un- dOubtedly is the favOrite judge with tho members of the legal profession in Waterbury. They claim that he has not only . very fine judicial mind, but that he is as fair as fair can be. So many lawyers when they attain judgcship forget that once they were members of the profession. Not so with Judge Jennings. He treats everyone the same. The legal light receives no more con- sidcration than the embryo bar rister just out of school. He ad- ministers justice with a kindli- ness that makes the lawyers feel all right, even though the ruling goes against them. OMreOver, hG apparently reads human nature in a manner that shows his mind Is most keen. In his opening re- marks the other evening he said:
 ''It certainly seems go to be on the level with you again." He was not speaking from tho bench. Every lawyer in the room knew that he meant it, too. It is not strange that the legal profess sion of Waterbury regrets his de-
 parture. They think he is the
 ideal judge. Incidentally being the senior superior court judge,
 he makes the assignments for
 his associates.
 Waterbury has always been re- garded as very liberal town. If you don't believe it, the next time you pass the corner of West Main and Prospect streets, look at the sign on the tree, which stands on the Immaculate Conception church property. The sign has an arrow pointing north with the words This way to Trinity church."
 Saw Miss Kathleen Crowley, probation officer of city court, much depressed tho other day as she observed two young men be- ing taken to jail. She cannot get accustomed to shackles and handcuffs. Unlike most welfare workers, she believes that more can be accomplished by personal contact with flle boy or girl. She certainly seems to know what it is all about and appears to be an ideal character for the supervi- sion of the juvenile court.
 They, who think they know, say there's going to be special .ses- sion of the legislature. providing they can agree the call. "Bill' Dwney, one of Waterburys own, is now credit manaker of the Hotel Victoria in New York city. Plenty of newspapermen received their early training in this city. l.
