GlOrfing Yourself
ny Alicla Hart
NEA Gerv~ce staflP Witer

NEA Servzce Stan Witer Since it is generally agreed that the perfect vacation offers a conn plete change of scenery, experts who think of beauty in terms of health and relaxation don't insist that everyone should retire to quiet spot "away from 1t all" for the summer holiday.
 Their idea is that one who leads a quiet, restful, fairly uneventful life month in and month out prob ably will derive real benefit from a two weeks whirl in a large city. GIVE YOURSELF
 A RADICAL CHANGE
 The simple country vacation is for city folks who lead rather hectic lives. A cruise or a couple of weeks at gay resort should sound att tractive to the girl who, although she lives and works in the city, doesn't have any too much fun. When planning your vacation, it's smart to think in terms of a radical change of activity as well as scenery. If you have to see a great many people during fifty weeks of the year, try to figure out a way to spend your vacation in spot where you'll see almost mo- body.
 If, for various reasons. you know that you simply cannot go anywhere this year, then resolve to change your daily habits during the two weeks to be spent at home.
 BEAUTY SHOP
 IS A GOOD BET
 Don't get up and go to bed at the same times you usually do when not on vacation. Change your diet. Forget about the people you see fre- quently and try to meet some stran- gers or re-discover some old friends you haven't had time to see in years.
 And, if you possibly can manage, go to one of the best beauty shops in town and get the worxs-a facial, new haircut and new hair-do.

her friends, when she insists on playing up her poverty"
 Another thing she will avoid is telling her husband all the 'They-bought" gossip she hears. When she does mention that the Joneses have bought big new car, she doesn't do 1t with a note of envy in her voice.
 She doesn't keep nagging: q wish we could afford so-and-so." |" If they can't afford a thing, she doesn't sit around wishing out loud that they could.
 TAKE LIFE
 AS IT COMES
 She doesn't use their low finances as an excuse for neglecting to en- certain, or for not looking every bit as attractive as she did before she was married. If she hasn't as much to spend for clothes as she used to have, she gets busy and learns how to sew, and she takes more time with her shopping so that she gets the most for what she does spend.
 But more important than any of these, she really is enjoying today. And because she is con. tent with things as they are, her husband looks on getting started as a fine adventure instead of won- dering wearily If he has taken on a bigger load than he is capable ot carrying. .,.

Barringer, who has been an unSuc- Cessful Socialist candidate for office in the past, will oppose Senator Edward P. Egan.
 Barringer's name was proposed by a nominating committee appointed by Chairman Floyd Rasmussen. "Is this 8 Republican or Socialist convention?" asked MT. Dillane."
 Fighting Party
 "As long as I'm the state central committeeman in the 18th district, the Republican party is going to be a fighting party" said MT. Ras- mussen. I'm looking ahead for the party, I'm sick of seeing the party workers left behind the eight ball, and from now on the workers are going to be recognized instead of the privileged few, as has been the case in the past.
 MT. Dillane failed in a motion to have the nominating committees report rejected and the committee discharged.
 "I'd like to nominate a Republi- cen," said MT. Dillane, offering the name of Frank J. Roberts. If he is defeated we can have the satisfac- tion of voting for a Republican. I'm sick of this half-duck, half chicken business, of this cross be- tween mules and jackasses I see as I look around here. think we've

had enough of it. If you're a So- cialist, be a Socialist; if you're a Republican, be Republican. If you nominate Socialist you will lose Republican votes. I have nothing against this man, but the party will lose more votes than 1t will gain.
 Not Unanimous
 The nomination of the Socialist candidate was voted, "A, but MT. Dillane refused to vote for a motion to make the nomination unanimous
 In the 18th district convention, MT. Posts name was offered by Oscar F. Warner. Alderman William Kol- beck nominated MT. Petrillo.
 Attorney George J. Crocicchia and other Perriello men voted for Post rather than Petrillo, swinging the balance. It was recalled that they had charged that Petrillo received the organization nomination for tax collector last year because he had worked against Mayor Perriello in the Republican primary.
 The Post nomination was made unanimous, on motion of MT. Pe- trillo.
 No great enthusiasm seems to have bene generated by either of the senatorial nominations. Many Republicans question the strategy of attempting to win the 18th distric from the Democrats by endorsing a Socialist candidate.

Retired Naugatuck School Teacher Taught Tou-
 sands in 50 Years

Naugatuck, Oct. 7.-The funeral of Miss Theresa Sweeney of 180 Hillside avenue, retired school teacher here who died Saturday night at her home, will be held to- morrow morning at 8:30 from the residence to St. Francis church at g o'clock, where soemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated. Burial will be in St. James cemetery.
 In the passing of Miss Sweeney, the borough has lost one who gave 50 years of teaching service here and who has taught thousands of local residents. Miss Sweeney re- tired several years ago after com p-eting a record here of which she could well be proud.
 But her friends knew that Miss Sweeney was more the type of per- son who would be delighted to get the opportunity to render such ex- cellent and lengthy service to the town. rather than to glory in the service she gave.
 She was born here. the daughter of the late Edward and Ann Swee- ney, and was educated in local schools. She first taught in the Union City school district, and later took a position in the Rubber avenue school shortly after the school was built. She was principal of this school for many years.
 Highly intelligent and with keen knowledge of child psychology, she had the respect and regard of those who studied under her.
 She leaves one sister, Miss Eliza beth Sweeney of Naugatuck, also a brother. Frank, of West Haven, and 19 nieces and nephews.
 Friends may call at the residence until the time of the funeral.
