 Tae first pastor of the church. whiah was founded September 20, 1893, was Rev Timothy Crowley, and Rev William Kennedy was the first assistant pastor.

Forty-four motions in civil cases are listed for hearings at the short calendar session of the superior court before Judge Newell Jennings tomorrow. Six of the motions are those filed by the receiver for the Merchants Trust Co. There are no divorce actions listed this week, which is unusual, because there are usually several heard each Friday.
 One of the important motions to be heard is that in the Beardsley & Wolcott Mfg. Co. receivership, in which disposition is expected to be made of the City of Waterbury's preferred claim for taxes. The claim is in the neighborhood of $50,000.
 In the Merchants Trust Go. case the receiver, The Citizens & Manu- lecturers National Bank, through it's counsel. Attorney Francis T. Reeves, will ask the court to rule on five compromise offers. The ap- pllcants either wish to purchase first mortgages by assigning their deposits at the closed bank at 15 per cent discount. or to have the receiver accept their deposits at 15 per cent discount against mort gage obligations. The receivers semi-annual report is also to be presented for acceptance.

\ Thonas Church to Observe 35th Anniversary Nov.
BetDare! Friday
 The 18th Nedrs

Those with superstitious lean ings would skip tomorrow and If they had the power, would rather awaken Saturday morning atter going to bed tonight. For to- morrow will be just one complete nightmare to those who take to heart-Friday, the 18th.
 Yes, tomorrow will be one of those days when hands will be raised in horror at the thought of Q black cat crossing ones path. Warnings against passing undor upraiscd ladders will probably re- suit in impolite shoves in another direction if they are not needed.
 1t will probably not be an un- expected sight to witness scores proceeding along the highways with fingers crossed.
 < Fridays that happen to fall on the 18th are usually blamed for III uck that happens to befnll un- fortunates. Thus, 1t is hereby ad- yised those who are not aware of what tomorrow may bring, to be sure and arise from the right side of the bed-beware of dropping mirrors, lighting three cigarets on ~onc match and accepting leaden coins.
 . If you should find an old horse- shoe be sure to pick 1t up. And when you toss 1t over your left shoulder make certain where 1t lands. Some times 1t does not fall innocently to the ground. It might happen to decorate O. policeman's head.

"Consolidation of Worek' farm and, Cashman's farm on the Bunk CT Hili road from which have been operating the MacCormack property in Wolcott and the Mount Tobe site in Plymouth arc my classifications of tho three loca- tions I have in mind as ideal spots for Waterbury needed airport, asserted Captain Frederick F. san som, one of Connecticut's most widely hcralded aviators in his ad- dress before tho Lions club thls noon at the Hotel Elton.
 Waterbury ranks fourth in popu- lation among pricipal cities Of the state and of the four largest cities, Hartford, New Haven and Bride- port each have class A airport, recognized by the department of commerce. Waterbury has none. While other cities have spent thousands of dollars to promite aerial navigation and commerce, Waterbury has spent nothing.
 Waterbury has boon quito pro- grcssive in it's desire to spend money for It's recreational activi- |ties, which I believe Is a fine idea, |but why not be n little moro pro- grcssive. and spend money to build m airport? It will stimulate local industry and thereby indirectly in- crease employment.
 A few public minded watorbur- iais Q short time ago endcavored to sponsor tho building of an air. port at Mount Tobe but so far as I can learn they received no as- sistance from tho municipality. The greatest problem Waterbury had had in connection with the esta biishmont of an airport was to And q suitable location within q reasonable distance from the city and the outlaying towns adjoining 1t. Tho late Capt Arnold Rasmus- sen, Staff Sergt Frank Wright and myself have spent many hours in the air and on the ground In m effort to got information of value regarding suitable locations.
 We decided there were possibili- ties at three different locations. We consulted airport construction en- gineers, accessibility to tho different fields and tho amount of money necessary to develop each possibil- ity. I am pleased to say that upon one piece of land within a radius of six miles of tho center of Water- bury, three miles from Oakville and two miles from Watertown center I was ablo to have two graduate pilots from my aviation

HOLIDAY HERE
 : EQUIET ONE
No Parades Sponsored By
 Local Italian Organ : izatiOns

Waterbury to-day quietly ob7 served Columbus Day. National colors of the United States were displayed from the curbs, from the fronts of business buildings and public edifices and from private residences. Banks, public build ings, courts, schools and the Silas Bronson library suspended business for the day but, on the other hand, the factories and stores were op- erating as usual.
 The local observance of Colum- bus Day was expected to be a pas sive one in view of the fact that the Italian organizations had not arranged for any special parndes or the like. The display of the Italian colors throughout the city was very small.
 This Is in direct contrast to the activities in New Haven and Bridgeport. In the Elm City and the Park City parades were sched- uled for to-day as part of exten- sive observances of the holiday. Only three' city departments were functioning to-day, the fire and police departments and emer- gency crews in the street and water | department. School children en- joyed day off" as did the enf- ployes in banks and the court and the library. The only court func- tioning was the police court.
 Considering the fact that 1t Is Q holiday, to-day's weather was con- sidered ideal by everybody. The sun rose over the eastern horizon early this morning in all its grand eur and continued to shine. The temperature was comfortable.
 The streets of thu. city were well filled to-day due toThe fine weath- CT and parents took advantage oi the closing of the schools to visi the stores to outfit their young sters for the coming winter season

college carry 175 passengers Labor day week end over Waterbury and vicinity and on Sept 24 and 25 thoy carried almost as many. The planes they used were not small ones but first class passenger ships.
 Your local mayor, tho Hon Frank Hayes has been able to finance the building of a municipal golf course; he is now endeavor- ing to finance Q club house for 1t; in addition he Is trying to raise funds to build community house in another section of tho city. Why not approach and convince him of the necessity of an airport for Wa terbury?
 1 know he is not air-minded be- cause I approached him and in- vited him to take a rido with me so that he could sec Waterbury from the air. He said, Captain, l wouldn't ride in one of those fan- dangled contraptions for q million dollars. However, I am convinced that if the mayor could be Kid. naped and put In m nirplane and flown over Waterbury, he would bo thrilled with the speed, the lscene beauty and the safety of avia. ton whom handled by competent personnel.
 According to statistics Water bury ships moro poundage or ma torials than any other city in New
 England, except Boston. This should bc an induccment to con- slider seriouly the need of an air port. An airport would mako 1t possible to transport salesmen and others who require fast transporat' ton moro conveniently than nt present. In timo 1t would lead to tho introduction of air mail lines and other commercial aerial trans- portation facilities. I believe tho city of Waterbury would ind 1t an economical venture to have an aer- ial map made to be used by tho tax assessors and also to assist in solving traffic problems.
 My wife, who recently established the women's unofficial loop record for airplanes in New England, at Springfield Is at the present moment participating in New York to break the womcn's world endurance flight record by remaining aloft for moro than eight consecutive days and nights, flying from the Floyd Ben. n6tt field. Shc believes In flying and will substantiate what I have said about safety in aviation.
 Undoubtedly you will bo interest ed in learning tho order in Which l classify the three locations I have in mind and where they arc To- cated. First would bc the consoli- dalton of Workey's afrm and Cash: mans farm on the Bunker Hill road, from which l have been op- crating. Second favor the Mac: Cormack property in Wolcott and last the Mount Tope site in Ply mouth. I favor tho first because 1t Is. larger and more easily accessible and would cost the least to develop 1t into q first class airport, con- tral for Waterbury, Watertown, Watervilie, oakville and Middle bury.
 Waterbury has had an opportu.. nifty to think over the question Of an airport for several years. It Is time some progressive step was taken. Why not make 1t q munici. pal venture. Your city will benefit.
