The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-10
Charles C. Curtis

Two things stand out in the public career of Charles Curtis, who served as vice-president during the administration of Herbert Hoover. One was the fact that he was regarded as really the first American to be elected to such high of- flee, MT. Curtis being part Indian. The other was the surprising social feud en- gagged in by prominent republican lead- ers' wives when this same Charles Cur tis and his hostess, Mrs. Dolly Gam, his sister, stepped out into society.
 Of course the career of Charles Cur tis was not encompassed in his four years as vice-president. Perhaps these were by far the tamest ones in lis varied existence. Certainly they must have come as Q let-down to this surprising little man who once clad in the silks of . jockey made the circuit of rnid-western and western fair grounds. We would hesi- tate to say that MT. Curtis legislative years were studded with great accom- plishments. No outstanding legislation l. credited to his name.
 But 1t takes Q good legislator to stay up there year after year and this the little man from Kansas did in convincing style, climaxing 1t all with senatorial career, from which he was catapulted into the vice-presidency. Even the great Hce-presidents we have had seldom eclipse their ranking officer. But 1t might be said without fear of contradiction that Charles Curtis four years in this of- flee were as spectacular as those of MT. Hoover.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-10
Rev. William J. o'Shea

Two Catholic churches of Waterbury mourn the death of dearly beloved pas tor. Rev. William J. O'Shea, at the time of his passing Saturday, was less than two years identified with St. Mar garet's parish. The balance of the ap- proximately ten years spent in this city was at St. Michael's in Water ville, where Father O'Shea labored with his characteristic earnestness and zeal. The city of Waterbury, of which he was an exemplary citizen, the institutions and organizations with which he was af- filiated, and the united Catholic parishes of the city, along with St. Margaret's and St. Michaels appreciate their very great loss in the death of Father O'Shea, man of sterling character, and true priest of God.
 Father O'Shea's life was an example in selflessness He possessed reserve and dignity, and Q kindliness that won him the love and respect of all. Although hampered by i'll health for some years he carried on with zeal and fervor; his own health was minor detail, and his priest ly work must come first. At flfty-two he had accomplished great deal, but at his prime, he has been cut off from further activities. He worked tirelessly until the end, for he was up and about his work until week to the day before his death. h a series of parochial talks to his parishioners since January l, he made them acquainted with his parish pro- ceedings; a most successful year was re- ported and he could not express enough his gratitude for the cooperation of his people. In the years to come he antici- pated a closer friendship with them.
 Not long after his ordination Father Oshea was appointed to the teaching staff at St. Thomas Seminary in Hart ford, and somewhat later identified as assistant at St. Joseph's cathedral at Hartford. The period between this time and his coming to Waterville in 1926 he was, during the World war, chap lain of the United States army and located with the American Expeditionary Force in France. Since 1926 he had been in this city. In addition to the two parishes with which he has been identi- he'd Father O'Shea was principal of the Waterbury Catholic high school and an officer and director of St. Mary's hos pital. He quietly carried on his duties In these affiliations as in his parish af- fairs.
 His many friends realize his signifi. cant losS but realize, too, what great reward will come to him for an unselfish life in the service of God; In doing the work mapped out for him well, Father O'Shea completed too brief but success full life among his fellowmen.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-10

Mayor Jasper McLevy finds himself in somewhat the same predicament that Mayor Frank Hayes of this city was in short time ago. An effort is being made in the Park City to have the Mollison airport become inunicipally owned and operated. Mayor McLevy says that If private industry will contribute share of the initial cost of acquiring the air. port, the city will do business. He points out that 1t will be industry that will eventually profit by operation of the air field and if they aren't interested in It's future now, the city isn't going to be either. If we recall, Mayor Hayes wanted a corresponding civic interest displayed In Mt. Tobe field when 1t was offered to the city.
