ElectrOnic Microscope Used To Trace Cancer Life Cells

cure or cause of cancer could be determined, it was necessary that science learn all there is to know about the growth of normal life cells.
 Until the scientists were able to put on their atomic spectacles" and peek more deeply into this problem, Schmitt said that the re- search into cancer was handicapped.
 This new weapon Is being used in numerous laboratories around the country. Tt sees things that the ordinary microscope can't pos sibly detect.
 Through use of this new machine, scientists will learn all the charac- teristics of the human cell, what causes it to grow, what causes it to divide and multiply-and therein may lie the answer to cancer.

Local newspapers were mentioned frequently during the night in view of the fact that both Ray Fitz- patrick and Joe Donahue are and were Democrat workers. The Nau- gatuck News also came in for men, tion as MT. Donahue is currently its managing editor. A surprising mention, not by name, however, was The Catholic Transcript. MT. Cooke recalled the column by the Rev. John s. Kennedy of several weeks ago in which the well-known Hartford writer and lecturer la mented the fact that out of Wa terbury had never come at least one good story, biography or any piece of writing which would pre- serve the Irish Catholic side of its history. This was turned by MT Cooke to his own purpose of claim ing that nothing good ever came out of Waterbury until this Fall. All of which only goes to prove that you can always create dif- ference of opinion when several persons get together.

Considerable concern Is still being expressed in Naugatuck over the forthcoming shrievalty con- vention. Town Chairman Daniel Callahan Is leading contender for the post and Waterbury, of course, will have large bloc of votes in the contest. There hasn't been much doubt around this end of the valley but whatthe popu- lar borough deputy sheriff would be the recipient of the local votes. In the light of reported opposition as 8 result of Naugatuck's vote for Mayor John s. MOnagan at the state convention, it might seem as if Warden Leo J. Brophy should have released the Nauga- tuck delegation at Thursday nights balloting. But they stuck to Brophy to the last ballot and on such consequences the fate of the shrievalty nomination may rest.

Waterbury, the mere mention of its name, and its political posi- tion were rOundly aSSailed by one element of the Torrington gather ing. It wasn't too hard to fig ure out that most of the bOOs, cat-calls, etc. were emanating from the AnSonia end of the hall. However, it remained for Thomas Cooke, seconding the nomination for Raymond J. Fitzpatrick of The Democrat, to put the finishing touches on Waterbury. MT. Cooke has always provided an oratori- cal touch to the congressional convention, but his diatribe on Waterbury and its political short comings was marked by sharp ness of tongue that didn't exactly make the local delegation feel too kindly towards him. The female side of the Waterbury group didn't mince words in retorting to his public address.

Politics
 -M- Passing

Astonishment at the result of the congressional nomination decided in Torrington Thursday night was as honest there as it was elsewhere throughout the district. This is not intended as a belittlement of Nominee Tom" RadZevich who pos- sesses as many qualifications for the office of congressman as did his numerous opponents. As 8 mat ter of fact his training and experi- ence probably fit him better for the exacting work in Washington than those of any of the other candi- dates. However, not even the Tor rington delegation conceded him better than a first-ballot chance and was prep;red, according to con- vention hall reports to shift to somebody else after the initial com- plimentary vote. But as one Dem ocratic leader said Thursday night prior to the first ballot Those complimentary votes are dangerous and often turn the tide of victory one way or the other. . ."

short jacket suits which make the
leg seem extra long and ganglmg.
The feminine note is the best 1or
this type, concludes the clothing
specialist. Fluffy hairdo's around
her long thin face and straight
regal posture help to make her
seem Hollywood-slim and 1asn-
ionably hollow-cheeked, rather
than angular and underfed.
The tiny woman or girl, to look
smart and dainty rather than
merely insignificant, should choose
her fabrics, garment designs and
accessories with care. She should
not over-power her small self with
immense handbags or too many
frilly doo-dads, nor should she
wear two-piece outfits which seem
to cut her in two and further
dwarf her. Rather, she should
play up her daintiness. Tiny bags
and hats, princess dresses, soft
color and dainty prints, and up
and-down pastels and tucks all
help to put such small people on
the may without suordinating the
wearer to the dress, concludes the
clothing expert.

and pencil-slim skirts. But the
frilly jabot, the dirndl skirt, the
peplum, the vivid color contrasts
to detract from height, all seem
specially designed to hatter this
particular type of figure.
Further tips include these: Ac-
cent femininity with soft, mapped
fabrics. Emphasize width through
the. skillful use of horizontal lines,
dresses with contrasting bodice,
and graceful gathered waistlines.
Light, warm colors and big hand
bags are especially good. Things
to avoid are clinging jerseys ana
sweaters, Except under jackets,
