During these two weeks, until November 17, the waterbury So- ciety; for Mental Hygiene is con- ducting an annual fund drive to support It's clinic. of the work done by this organization, Miss Peak, director of the Waterbury Visiting Nurses Association, has made the following statement:
 Recently ct one of the V. N. A. well child conferences, Q little two year old girl came to have physi- cal examination. As soon. as the child sew the nurse in her tnis form she began to cry and cling to her mother. She cried SO long and so loud that 1t was practically impossible for the conference doc- tor to examine her. It was obvious to all of us that this little girl was in terror as soon as she saw the doctor and the nurse. Why was she afraid2 What did doctors and nurses mean to herr What could we do to help her overcome this fear SO that future visits might be happier for her? We turned to the one agency w1.o could help us llrl" derstand our little patient and her behavior. That agency ot course was our Mental Hygiene Society.
 The Mental Hygiene Clinic is needed not only for the guidance of health and social workers and teachers but for the benerit of pa. tients who have been discharged from hospitals for mental diseases but still need a helping hand to guide them on their way to com" plete recovery. Of equal importance is the clinic where those who are nervous" or worried" Hnya go TOT consultation.

Venerable Jurist Writes Report On Bridges Deportation Hearing

I
 The issue which the judge was called upon to decide Is whether Bridges had at any time been affil- lated with the Communist party, a fact denied by the CIO. leader If the decision Is affirmative, Bridges will be deportable under anti sub Versive legislation.
 At Bridges previous hearing, con. ducted In 1889 by the Department or Labor, the issue was whether the defendant was 6 Communist at that time. Dean James M. Lands of Harvard, who heard the case, ruled Bridges was not then a Communist and not deportable.
 Judge Is Yale Graduate
 In this connection, 1t Is interest. ing to note that Judge Sears is, a Yale man, graduated in the class of 1892. A native of Brooklyn, Sears continued his studies two years at the University of Berlin and began his law practice in Buffalo in 1898. Tn 1917 he was appointed to the state supreme court by Gov. Charles 8. Whitman, and that fall was elect- ed to e full l4.year term of that court. Reelected in 1881, he served on that bench until 1889, when he was elevated to the states highest court by appointment Of Gov. Her. bert II. Lehman. He retired in i940 upon reaching the maximum age limit of 70 for the state Judiciary,
 Politically the jurist is Republican but, by state party custom, he has also received Democratic endorse ment in his candidates for "non- political" judicial election. On one occasion as his name was presented at a Democratic party convention, a party leader declared: Our nom- nation of Charley Sears is e demo- cratic way of filling this Judicial position; just wish that Charley was a Democrat, too"
 Kindly Demeanor Marked
 In appearance, the judge Is . picture of kindness. Heavey set, al- most portly, his eyes freeuently sparkle with mirth beneath the high, arching hrows and waving gray air which dignity his court role, A prominent Roman nose is offset by fullneSs of face and gray mus. tache. He favors conservativeiy dark pin-striped patterns in his suits: on frequent occasions his four.in. hand cravat slips askew without notice by him.
 Evidence of the high esteem and friendly regard held by Judge Sears by fellow lawyers is betokened by the portrait of him placed by the Erie County Bar Association in the county courthouse, and in the speech made by a member of the associa- ton when the portrait was placed.
 Judge Sears" said Philiu !. Wickser, Buffalo attorney, lis truly modest, fearful lest unearned adyan. tage be his portion. Great industry and learning, made efficient by dis. cipline, marks his career. He has Kindness which is never sentimental or dramatic, but which grows to d deep and genuine interest in an- others problems. It is perhaps. Jus tice Sears finest quality. It bespeaks a sympathy in human understand ing and that fine humanity from which true strength is begotten.
