 Awarded meehaR

Common Pleas Court Judge John T. Cullinan yesterday handed down a Judgment for the defendant in the s2,S0O civil action of DrnNic Scac. co Of Waterbury against John Mee- han. also of this city. The plaintiff had sued as the result of injuries sustained March %, i9a2 when he was allegedly struck by the defend- ants car while crossing North Main Street.
 Judge Cullinan pointed out in his memorandum that the suit was not instituted within the one-year pc. riod provided in the statute Of linn itations. Referring to the plaintiffs claim that he did not bring suit ear. Tier because the defendant had promised to pay expenses arising from the accident. the jurist said the claim was "an afterthought de. signed to avoid the statute of linn. itations."
 The suit was not a negligence nc. ton. but was based on the alleged agreement Of the defendant to pay the accident expenses.

KnOwIedge DispeIs Fear, WV Girls Told Honest Self.Appraisal and Correction
 Of Faults Will Make Life Happier,
 States Psychiatric Worker

a person recognizes himself as a vic. tim Of this harmful emotion, Mis- Dillon declared, the correctlvl method is to look at lt cblecsively and discuss the problem with on. other. knoWledge and understand. lnk effectively dlapella fear, she sald
 A sense Of inadequacy of lnablll. ty to meet q situation creates afl. ger, apwoerful emotion which pours poison Into the system. the speaker asserted. pointing out that self. control--or bottllne up the poison within--is no remedy and extremely injurious. Such outbursts may be eliminated Miss Dillon said, by honestly facing the underlying caus. es and trying to correct them. Anger can often be eliminated the speak. CT stated, by directing the energy into physical activities. such aa walking. tennis, swimming, and energetic games.
 Understanding Dlspels Hatred
 Tending to create serious harm to the health, hatred. the most vlrul. ent emotion of ell, wrecks the nor. nal functioning of the body and is reflected in every look and action, Miss Dillon said. Like anger, hatred usually originates in 6 feeling of inferiority, and in many instances finds roots in an aversion to an. other who has achieved a coveted goal. To dispel hatred from the emotions. Miss Dillon urged:
 "study people. watch them go about their duties. Everyone ls eager as you are for success, for approval, and appreciation. Though the other persons viewpoint may seem wrong, so may yours to him. ft Is always well to keep in mind. in all our re. lations with others. that the other fellows reactions are governed by experience, hercdity and habit"
 Unwise Early Training
 Love, considered the loftlest emo. ton Is selfless. generous, and wise, yet is seldom the beautiful expert. ence because most human beings are self-centered and emotionally unstable. the speaker stated. Such selfishness and emotional ambulance, she pointed out. in most instances find root in an unwtse mother love. The child who is waited upon, pro- tected from failure, praised. admir-. ed. and inoculated with the idea that he is better than others bee comes the unhappy adult who can. not adjust himself to the world, she continued, for no one except his mother excuses his mistakes. over- looks hts faults. or makes life easy for him.
 In conclusion. Miss Dillon said, no one Is completely the perfect per. sonality nor is he perfectly balanc- ed. But everyone can move on to a happier and freer life by looking into the mirror of truth and pitiles- sly exposing his faults. Honest, self appraisal of this kind she said. is the only practical starting point in any program Of self.improve- nent.
 Whatever failures are in the past, begin your conscious effort to de- velop emotional balance. Once you can look at your faults obpectively. understand them, progress is made with rapidity and success. And life will look sweeter and have much more meaning" she asserted.
