The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-08-31

Today The Democrat also learns that another Waterburian can he regarded as congressional timber by party leaders. Col. Bernard A. O'Hara is coming into the picture not as a compromise candidate, but as a full-fedged and highly capable aspirant for the honor of representing the Fifth District in Congress. Wether or not the many duties of this veteran of World I and II would give him time to plunge into campaign fight or whether or he could be persuaded to make the try are things to be discovered. But at any rate he has number of local packers who believe the local dentist and prominent sportsman would just about fill the bill for the Demo- crats who are now figuring the Fifth District as sure thing, what with Rep. Joe" Talbot em- parked on do-or-die fight for the gubernatorial nomination on the COP. ticket.

Politics
 -H- Passing

Democratic interest in the con- gressional nomination in the Fifth District took a sudden splurge this week and at present writing the soon-to-be-held convention will be a rip-snorter, unless a lot of the candidates now in the field with draw before that date. If it's as they say throughout the district, they want a Waterbury candidate this year, there should be good list to pick from by the middle of September. Avowed candidates like Marine Correspondent Ray Fltzpa- trick and Patrick Kelley have done a lot of spade work locally and at points in the district as witness the endorsement of MT. Fitzpatrick by the Ansonia delegates last Tuesday night. This past week, too, upper Litchfield County buzzed with rum ors that another Marine correspond- ent. Joseph P. Donahue. who served as former Congressman J. Joseph Smiths secretary for a spell, was in the running and would be J. Francis Smiths "dark-horSe' in the race Yesterday former Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch's name was advanced and there's no doubt that if there was more than a trial ballon angle to this, MT. Lynch will finnish the stiffest competition here tn Waterbury for delegate support.

A NEW ATTITUDE

Many ,Uomen are dissatisfied

some problems that are hard to
solve, some difficulties that seem
almost unbearable at times. As
Miss Norris points out, most
women know what they don't
want, but fe,o know clearly ex-
actLy Ohat they do ,Uant. The
difference in attitude can make
all the difference between hapPi-
ness and misery.
Tyo letters quoted in today's
article bring this out. The first
is from Uoman yho is COM
planning about everything -.
the apartment, the children's
school, her husbands salary :.
and worst Of all, the perpetual
flood Of bills.
The other letter is from man
whose wife had asked Miss Nor.
ris for aduice some time ago.
This couple Uas drifting toOard
divorce. They were just tired OF
the friction occasioned by life in
a croroded apartment, and by the
expenses that seemed al,Oays
greater than they had expected.
They decided to try the plan Miss
Norris outlined. after teU
months they were out Of debt.
A little while later they were
able to pay do,on on a little place
in the country. Working in the
garden and repairing the cottage
gaue them an obJective and an
outlet.
