on the shelf. That decision full

PROBATE HEADS
 MEET SATURDAY
Judge Healey to Be Re- nominated By Denlrllies
 for Third Term

Judge Patrick HeaIey of the wa terbury probate district will De re- nominated by Democrats Of water bury, Wolcott and Middlebury at 6 probate district convention at the city hall Saturday atI11 .. m. The date was announced today in let ters to delegates named to the con- vention in each of the three towns.
 Convention arrangements are in charge of a committee appointed by the probate convention two years ago. On the committee are Ray nond J. Tanning, Maurice E. Tang ney, Walter Jarvis and Miss Eliza beth Smith.
 It will be the third successive nomination for Judge Healey, who went into office almost four years ago. He was designated by the Democratic party to succeed Judge Dennis J. Slavin. He was elected by large margin in 1888, and again in 1940.
 Numrous Republicans have urged party leaders to have the G. O. P endorse Judge Healey this year There is strong sentiment in the party ranks for such a step, but it is doubtful that 1t will be done. In 1898, Judge Healey defeated Attor- ney George Lynch of Middlebufy: in 1940 he defeated Attorney Mau- rice P. Wrenn of this city.
