Fair Rent Group Called
Into Session; New Mem
berS for Com.

Waterbury's housing stu

municipal officials today,
with Mayor Vincent A. Scully
calling a meeting of the Fair
Rent Committee for 1890
p. m. tomorrow and repeat
ing a previous announcement
that he would re-establish the
Waterbury Housing Author
ity. The steps may be a fore
runner to efforts to secure
additional federal housing for the
city.
A statewide meeting on housing
has been called by the State Defense
Council for next Wednesday, the
purpose being to enforce a program
that will obviate the necessity of
federal Intervention in Connecti-
cut rental and housing problems.
Under new federal legislation,
Prince Administrator eLon Hender-
son, II dissatisfied with steps being
taken in any state, can name a spe-
cial administrator, who would have
the power to fixe rent ceilings and
order housing changes.
The Housing Authority has lacked
full membership for several years,
the only remaining member being
John j. Driscoll, executive secre-
tary of the Waterbury Brass Work
ers Union. Both the union and the
Fair Rent Committee have received
scores of complaints about rent in
creases.
Waterbury can use at least 300
more defense housing units, in addi-
ton to 300 units now almost filled,
according to David T. McGrath,
manager of defense housing here.
But the impetus for any more hous-
ing must come from the city, he
says.

It Is a blow to our ego to know
that we are not made of sugar and

for carrying on all of the processes
of the body. 1t is an important part
of the digestive juices. of the blood

Water is the medium in which
chemical changes in the body take
place. 1t is an essential part of our
flesh and even of our bones. 1t makes
possible the digestion, absorption
and transportation of the food we
eat. 1t aids in the elimination OF
waste products from the body and

Man can live for a long time
without food if he has water. A
healthy person requires from 8 to
quarts of water daily. He obtains
much of this from his solid food
Fruits, vegetables and meats con-

Man gets even more water from
such liquids as milk, tea, coffee,
soups and bottled drinks.
These do not give you enough

DoNot Shift
Blame for

By angelo Patri

By Angelo Patri
How is this, Jerry? The teacher
says your papers are so badly writ
ten that she is unable to rate them.
What's the trouble?"
my pen is no good. If only I had
a new pen I could write as good as
anybody. My old pen doesn't work
and it always blots and goes
crooked"
Jerry got a fine new pen, but the
papers were as bad as before. Then
he blamed the paper, and the
teacher gave him special paper.
Next he had the wrong seat, and his
seat was changed. Then he thought
If he had a new teacher that would
do the trick.
The teacher said, Jerry, it isn't
the pen or the paper or your seat or
your teacher or any other cause
outside yourself. You direct the
pen! You use the paper, you sit IN
the seat and you are responsible for
what you get from the teacher and
from every other experience In your
day.
Take a look at yourself and make
some changes in yourself and see
what that will do"
Jerry is not alone in his ideas OF
excusing himself for his failures and
blaming an outside cause. Every
body tries to find the cause OF fall
ures outside himself. The lame one
saws. IF only was not lame I could
do all that and more" and rests
there, forgetting the hosts OF handi-
capped people who succeeded glor1-
ously in their chosen fields.
Wearing glasses is a common ex-
cuse for shortcomings. If only !
hadn't to wear these glasses I'd be
captain of the team, but with them
on my nose what can do?" another
says, forgetting the many, many
successful people who wear glasses.
Social advantages seem so neces-
eary to some young people that,
without them, they feel they cannot
be expected to get anywhere worth
while. IF only I could dress like
those others now. If only had the
privilege of knowing those people l
could get where I ought to be" they
complain, forgetting the hosts OF
successful Americans whose social
BACKGROUND was the poorest.
Never mind what you haven't got,
but look keenly at what you have
and make the best of it. Nobody
has everything. Everybody lacks
something he would like to have,
and YOU are no exception. Start
using what you have even though
all you can find for the present is
a great hunger and strong deter
mination to satisfy 1t. That Will 90
for a beginning.
Never mind about your physical
shortcomings. How strong is your
spirit? That's what counts most.
A stout spirit will carry you through
severe illness, through grinding pow |
ertE, through harsh trials, through
any difficulty that life on earth may
present.
How can you gain that spirit? Just
by wanting it, by cultivating 1t
through thought and appreciation
of it's being and its power, by study
ing the lives of those whose great
ness proved the strength of their
souls.

cizing or reprimanding other people,
or of talking about them behind
their backs, you can't expect to have
friends. Being with you is unpleas-
ant, and being away from you is
dangerous.
Sarcasm Is bad medicine for other
peoples feelings, and nobody enjoys
being bossed or domineered. AS for
exaggeration, we are all guilty of
this at times, often just to get a
laugh. This probably does no seri-
GUS harm, but be careful not to fall
into the habit of drawing the long
bow. especially when no humor is in
volved. If you constantly stretch
the facts, you'll stretch people,
patience-and beyond the breaking
point.
We think these lists can be very
valuable to any young person who
wants friends-and what young per-
son doesn't? Study them carefully
There's no sense in poisoning your
personality Indefinitely with faults
as well recognized as these.
