MT TOBE LEASED
 FOR LANDING FIELD
Plymouth and ThOmastOn Will Use Property for
 Five Years

Waterbury'es chances of secur- ing the site at Mount Tobe In Ply mouth for landing field purposes faded last night. Tho voters of the town Of Plymouth voted to lease the field for Ave years at $10 a year However, as It is planned to have Thomaston take the field Jointly with Plymouth, the final closing or the deal will have to walt until the Thomaston voters cast their bal lots on the matter next Tuesday.
 Waterbury was onered tne Mount Tobe site by the corporation owning the land at the nominal annual rental of $10. However the city officials here were unable 10 reach m agreement as to the type of lease to be drawn up. This city can have about $32.000 for airport development purposes under the CWA.
 The selectmen of Plymouth and Thomaston hope to get about $1OO,OOO CWA money for the de- velopment of the airport. according to reports. There was some oppo- sition to the use of the money for the airport last night In Plymouth, one voter suggesting that 1t Do used for sewers or schools, claim ing that 1t is n waete of money to spend money on an airficld. An- other man suggested converting the fieid into farm land on which CWA men could be given work.

JAPAN STUDIES
 OILINC CONTROL
Commerce Heads Hope to Set Government Oil Mo-
 nOpOly in Country

Tokyo (UP)-PIans of the minL istry of industry and commerce to place; the importation of all petro- leum and petroleum products un- der government control is generally interpreted as the first step in a program to establish virtual gov- ernment oil monopoly in Japan. Representative of foreign oil com panics are watching the progress of the plan with special interest because the adoption of the min istry'e control bills may limit com petition in the oil business.
 Two bills have been prepared for the consideration of the Diet. In general they provide for govern ment control of all imports and the licensing of all oil enterprises. IT thesc measures are adopted the importers may be compelled to store certain quantities of crude oil under government instructions.
 Japan produces but 10 per cent of the petroleum consumed in the empire. Consumption is increasing rapidly and now, it is said, the na- tional defense needs make 1t im- perative to assure that there will be an adequate supply of crude oil for period of years.
 Although the oil program as con- templat d does not mean that im- portations from American and British sources will be reduced in the near future, the ministry Of commerce and industry Is being urged to seke independent sources abroad that are not controlled by the large foreign concerns and thus obtain a supply that can be con- trolIed by Japanese interests.

difficulty ehtaIled in operating the bonds among the depositors, the re- ceiver got permission in superior court to sell assets of the bank for additional bonds.
 Up to now, the receiver has ac- quired about $325,000 worth. Plans still in the making are expected to bring in the necessary amount of bonds to pay off the depositors on an equal basis for their deposits, within q short time.
 DeDogitors who receive the bonds VIII have much better commody ity than at the time they applied for them. At that time the bonds were quoted on the market at 83 and 83. To-day they are being quoted at 93 and 931s.
 That is due to the news eman- ating from Washington that Presi- dent Roosevelt intends to ask Con- gress tc guarantee the principal payment of the bonds.
 When the bonds were first issued the interest payments only were guaranteed. They were issued prin- cipally to assist home owners who had met with difficulties in meet ing mortgage obligations. Some local banks hesitated to accept the bonds because the principal of the bonds was not guaranteed. Since, however. the bonds have risen in value and it is reported that all local banks have changed their opinions.

TO-mOrY01v In Local Churches
Weekly Sunday School Lesson Baptism And Temptation Of Jesus

proach to perfection that he can achieve.
 The temptation of the man of organizing genius, or of statesman like ability, Is to use his organiz- Ing power, or his skill in the mas tery and leadership of men, for worldly ambition or for his own aggrandizenfent.
 It was the temptation of this sort that Jesus rejected. In fact, the real force of the temptation that assailed him may have had a deeper significance.
 1t may have been the temptation to work for a material and imme- diate triumph of his Kingdom rather than to choose the path that led to tho cross in his uncompro- missing service of truth.
 This is temptation that in some form assails us all, to refuse some sacrifice that truth and righteous ness demand and to set aside some great goal, while at the same time we delude ourselves into thinking that the way of cxpcdiency Is the way of better achievement
 Tempted men may learn from the nature of the Masters tcmpta- tions, as well as find inspiration in his conquest of the temptcr.

 And what an evening of superb music and entertainment that wifi be! Among the highlights of this organization you will see and hear Jimmie White, noted far and wide for his vocal ability; Muriel sherman, song-bird of the air, and Vaughn Munroe with his rhythm trio. In addition to waving the baten, Larry will act as the suave master of ceremonies, introducing his artists in g. manner all his own. The personality that he ra- diates is very impressive, and as usual he will be the center of at- traction throughout the evening.

 TRIED AT MERIDEN
Bound Over Under Bonds of $1,OOO to Superior
 Court

Probable cause was found in the cases of Alfred DeCastro, 32, of PIT Orange street and David Balvin, 45. 4 temporary resident of Wa terbury, when both were argaigned in the police court of Meriden on the charges of conspiracy and theft. They were ordered held for the next term of superior court in New Haven under bonds of $1,000 each. They were arrested last Tuesday afternoon following an at- tempt to steal q suit of clothes. While one of, the men attracted the attention of the clerk. the other tried to slip the clothes under his overcoat.
 The Meriden police as well as the local authorities were unable to place Balvln, although he claimed Waterbury as his place of residence, but refused to. give the street address, Through the national bureau of Identification in Washington 1t was learned that Balvin has a record in Buffalo, Yonkcrs, New York city, New buryport. Lawrence, Mass and other places.
 Apparently DeCastro has no rec ord, although the police here be- lieved that he had.

 seriousness of the greatness of the Messiah, whose forerunncr he was, that he drew back from the honor of baptizing Jesus.
 It seemed to him uniting that one conscious of his weakness and inferiority should be the instru- ment of expressing the divine blessing and approval upon one so much greater than himself.
 To Jesus, however. the rite had a significance independent of the man who performed Ii. It was a fulfillmcnt of all righteousness. It was q part of that human process by which the divine mission of Jesus was to be realized.
 Yet Jesus well may have reJoiced in his baptism at the hands of John, for he paid to John the high est tribute that could be paid to mortal man, when he said that among those born of women there had not arisen q greater than John the Baptist.
 How essentially tho baptism of Jesus was a part of the human ritual--a fulfllment of all right eousness in human terms and de- mands was manifested very quickly in the experiences of the temptation.
 The baptism did not set Jesus aside as apart from human life. It did not surround him with pro- tective influences that were not vouchsafed to other men.
 It emphasized only the divine career that he was to live in human surroundings and even in the midst of human temptations.
 Here. again, was the fulhllment of all righteousness in the triumph of right over the promptings of evil and over the temptations of lesser good. The temptations that assailed Jesus were no less real because they were not gross temptations of the flesh.
 Tho temptation to command thnt stones should be made bread might be interpreted in terms of mate- rialism and grossness, but 1t was more temptation to use wonder working power for insufficient or trivial ends than the temptation to trail the divine life in the mire of gross and material sins.
 
 The temptations that assailed Jesus were the temptations that were more likely to assail q man called to high commission. Prob ably tho keenest temptations that n man has to combat are those that meet him on the plane of his noblest aspirations and his great est abilities.
 Tho temptation to the artist is to use his gift for something less than beauty and glory of his art. to prostitute 1t to baser ends. The temptation of the poet is to be content with something less than tho highest beauty of form and expression and the nearest ap-

TRUCK FIRE ON
 THE BOSTON ROAD

A truck owned by the Laube Transportation company caught fire on the Boston Post road early yesterday morning and gave the Westport fire department a stiff battle for over four hours. The blaze is believed to have started from the exhaust pipe. The truck was loaded with baled rubber soles for shoes. Damages of $2,000 re- suited and traffic conditions made hazardous due to the fact that the gallons of water hurled on the ma chine formed sheet of ice over the highway. Passing vehicular traffic experienced difficulty in passing the scene of the fire.
