City Recovering From
 Effects Heavy Rain
Naugatuck River Receding = Squatters' Colony
 Flooded Out-Repair Crews Active

Waterbury escaped lightly in the intense rain storm of yesterday which swept the entire state caus- ing thousands of dollars damage. To- day this city had entirely gone back to normal. The rivers in and around the city were within their banks and practically back to their usual levels and all highways lead- ing to and from Waterbury were open for travel.
 The Southern New England Tele- phone Company, which had some trouble as a result of the rain and wind, to-day reported everything back in order once more. The Connecticut Light and Power Com pany experienced little or no trou- ble in the Waterbury area. The Connecticut Company's schedules were back to normal to-day and last night although during the height of the rain storm yesterday morning schedules were greatly upset.
 Golf Lots Flooded
 The Naugatuck river was high yesterday afternoon and flooded the Golf Lots, driving out many of the "squatters". This morning the 'squatters'' were back on the job repairing the damage done to their huts.
 Little or no damage resulted from the deep rain water on Mea- dow street at the foot of Field street. The water lasted only for a few hours yesterday afternoon and then receded.
 In various parts of the state bridges were torn down or weak ened and fear was felt for several dams scattered throughout Con- necticut. Waterbury, however, es- capped lightly and late yesterday afternoon there were little or no signs of the heavy rain storm.
 Watertown Suffers
 Schools, which closed for the afternoon sessions yesterday, were back on regular schedule to-day. In Watertown yesterday the rain flooded the boiler rooms of the Watertown Manufacturing Com pany,, extinguishing the boiler fires, necessitating the suspension of factory operations.
 In Torrington the firemen were called out to pump water into the streets from Besse pond so as to prevent the overflowing of the pond into adjacent homes. The dam of the pond threatened to give way but held. finally.

ALCOHOLIC CURE
 MENTAL PROBLEM
Old Idea of Physical Pun= ishment Futile, Says
 Health Experts

Alcoholism is far more a psy- chological problem and far less q physical problem than it once was thought, and it's cure can be ac- complished only by complete re- education of the victim, so that his entire manner of thinking and feeling. are changed and fresh mo- tives for living are provided, the state department of health stated in it's weekly bulletin to-day.
 Moralizing, treatment with drugs, punishment or other means which contemplate alcoholism as physi- cal problem invariably fail, since they do not recognize the psycho-
 logical nature of the trouble, the
 bulletin declared. Close study will
 show that drinking is the alcohol
 ic's attempt to solve problems
 which are often very vaguely seen
 by himself. He is often merely
 aware that he feels better while in toxicated. He doesn't know why, but concludes that it is merely the nature of alcohol to make anyone feel that way. The thing which has been expressing him has dis appeared and he feels lighter and freer without knowing why.
 Perhaps, the victim is trying to get away from constant feeling of tension or worry. Perhaps, he feels generally so inhibited ol over-cautious that little dutch
 courage seems necessary for even
 ordinary enterprise. Perhaps, it is mere ennui or dreariness of life that he wishes to avoid Possibly he finds himself so hampered by an overgrown sense of self-depre- citation that he must dull it from time to time to make existence
 seem worth while. .Squalid, un- comfortable and uninspiring sur roundings are prolific cause o1 alcoholism.
 A consideration of the nature o1 alcoholism can hardly fail to af.
 feet our ideas regarding its treat
 ment, the bulletin stated. When state of intoxication seems neces- sary to make life endurable l, | would not seem possible to abolish the desire to drink by any effori | of moralizing or any course ol treatment with drugs. B ven pun ishment would require to be yer, drastic in nature and a constan
 threat to produce worthwhile re
 suits. A complete re-education O ] the alcoholic is necessary. His en ! tire manner of thinking and feel ing must be changed. Fresh mo l tives for living must be found | And if these things can't be dont there isn't much to hope far 1T
