SUPREME court
SEAT FOR ELLIS
Former Local Jurist May

Judge Arthur r. ELS Of the

Litchfield, but who was prom
inent attorney In this city for years
and served the city Of Waterbury
as tsate senator, tax collector and
Judge Of probate will soon ascend
the bench Of the Connecticut
Supreme Court Of Errors.
Judge ELS is slated to succeed
Justice Human Of the supreme
court, who will reach the age Of
retirement in June but according to
apparently well founded rumors
Judge Human, whom 1t is claimed
is not IN the best Of health, viii
retire long before that time.
Many attorneys who know Judge
Human and Judge ELS say that
Judge ELS will be elevated within
but very few weeks.
Lawyers generally throughout
the. state will regret the retire.
ment of Justice Human, but the
law says that a member Of the
supreme court bench must retire al
the age Of 70 years, which age the
Willimantic jurist viii attain in
May.
Justice Human was greatly
liked by members Of the bar be-
cause Of his kindness and thought.
fulness and his recognized judicia
qualifications. He is generally re.
garded among ali lawyers as "a
regular fellow"
Lawyers agree that Justice Hin

in Judge Ellis. He Is rated as one
Of the fairest and capable judges or

The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-02-03

The faithful as o rule think Of
the day following Candlemas as the
time for the blessing Of threats,
without giving much thought TO
the saint whose feast is kept on
that day. He Is Saint -Blase. or
Blasins, Bishop and martyr Of the
fourth century, whose feast Is OBJ
served today. There are no written
reports Of his life dating from the
time at which he actually lived, but
the legends concerning him prob
ably rest on old traditions that are
bound up with the Church's veneer
alton Of the saint In her liturgy.
According to most Of the
accounts, saint Blase was physi-
clan before he became priest, an6
by his skin effected the cure Of
many persons. He became Bishop
Of Sebaste, in Armenia, famous as
the place Of martyrdom of the For
ty Martyrs. At the beginning Of
the persecution Of Licinius, Blase
Is said to have retired to q cave in
the wilderness for prayer and med
itation. Here he was taken prison.
er and ordered to renounce the
Christian Faith. While in prison,
he performed q miraculous cure on
a boy who had q fishbone lodged in
his throat and was in danger Of
choking to death. The saint silf-
fered various forms Of torture with
great fortitude, and was finally be-
headed. He Is listed In later ac-
counts as one Of the Fourteen Holy
Helpers, saints having special
power Of invoking help from God
in time Of sickness, want or peril.
They were venerated with special
devotion in Europe during the Mid
die Ages, q devotion thought to
have originated at the time the
plague known as the Black Death
was raging in central Europe.
The blessing Of Threats, the ori-
gin of which is suggested by the
above account Of the saints life,
takes place before or after mass
on the feast, and sometimes after
devotions in the evening. In some

Herman Mitkowsky, North Square auto merchant,
reached new peak in craftsmanship recently when over
midnight cup of hot coffee in downtown eatery he
sold late model and delivered it bright and early next
morning Nice going, Hy! Joe Nolan, former sports
ed of the Crosby Argus, who has written several Holy
Cross football stories for the Democrat has very timely
article caponed Skiing Is Believing for the current
issue of "The Holy Cross Purple. It's a breezy and
humorous essay of the Benchley type. Even though
the modern system of lighting has been installed in
Crosby High School, there still oldfashoned jets in
almost every classroom

Good evening.
HIDDEN MYSTERY
By THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Inspector higgins smeled rat;
It all started through discarded hat
That he saw in a more or less secluded auey'
SO higgins said: think I'd best daily.
Which he did mearthing murder most shoddy
And actually stumbled right on the body.
Said higgins If I'd gone home for my proper tea
Instead Of lettering long after half past three
I'd never have seen that hat with the bullet mole
On come upon the corpse, poor unfortunate SOUL
Now you that read mysteries know 1t was CORY analr,
How higgins called the yard, and with mnutest care
Dug up suspects motives and whatnot,
Even someone seen about the spot
BY shop-keeper between three and four
AS he happened to be looking out the door. r.. -,
What seemed a hidden mystery without any tangles
Developed into an affair Of many angles
The inspector nobody as he came on the street,
Not even a bobby was covering this beat
But in less time than you could think
The case building up link by link.
How did it turn out this hidden mystery? Oh glory!
In quite the same fashion as any mystery story
