Phillippi, His mind no doubt filled with the manner of things of the world around and about Him, think ing of the people He loved so well, among whom He performed His miracles, to whom He explained so patiently His way of life and His mission, and so 1t is only natural that His lips spoke the words of His heart: Whom do men say amp" Just previously he had startled some five thousand people who had fol- lowed Him in the desert places, by feeding them-five thousand of them, with seven loaves of bread and some small fishes--truly a mir acle. He had restored sight to blind man. Why shouldn't He ask: Whom do men say I amp and the answer He received at that time remains the same today.
 Whom do men say I am'-said one of my friends: Jesus was a good man, Q teacher, and @ leader, but that is alll-SayS another He was only a JeW'-aild another I don't believe He ever lived:' But Jesus Himself didi not seem much interested in the answers He recei- we'd from His disiples. Somehow or another that first question was merely @ blind, g. spring board for that most important question, which all of us, one day or another, must answer But whom say ye that I anu? Never mind the other fellow This time the question becomes dangerously personall Whom say ye that amp It was Peter, impetuouS, dynamic, explosive, who cried out the truth: Thou are the Christ
 Confusing Issues
 Today the voice of Christ still calls to all the peoples of the world, regardless of how much mankind has tried to hinder and block his Godgiven mission. Time and time again men have tried to confuse the issues; they have crippled HIS Church, mad persecuted His follow CTS: they have tried to pervert His teachings and to browbeat His ser- wants into unwilling submission. Today men say that Christ is of the past and His words foolish dribble. Yet there still comes that cry: chal- lenging, questioning: Whom say ye that I amp
 Ask that mother, who in her hour of despair, raised her eyes unto the hills from which cometh all help and asked the Saviour to spare her child, who the medical profession had given up as hopeless, Ask that sin-scarred man, who among the dregs of inhuman humanity remenl- bered the teachings of his Church, called upon the Saviour for forgive ness, and with His divine help, be- came 8 new creature in Christ. Ask that clergyman, who day in and day out, night in and night out goes about quietly doing His Fathers business, and who because of his calling, is privileged to bring words of hope and encouragement to the sick and the dying in his parish Whom say ye that I amp If Christ were to put that quest iontooyu were to put that question to you now, what would your answer be? Can you say with Peter, honestly, truthfully-"Thou are the Christi If you can, 1t will make you bet- ter Christian, a militant Christian, true to His principles, true to His Church. May 1t be so with you.

Producers and dealers have asked permission to make the price in- crease effective April 1. They claim it is necessary because of rising costs, some concerns having distributed Leaflets to customers stating that they have sold milk at @ loss in re- cent months.
 Distributors Stand
 A loss is taken on every quart of milk delivered to the consumer, four large milk distributors are demonstrating as part of a cam apaign to interest the public in the problems of milk legislation, price reduction and cost. Showing that -four -fifths of the cast of a quart of milk is through payments to Farmers and laborers, the distrib- utors have issued @ leafiet and questionnaire asking for public ex- pressions on the problem.
 The distributors are Bryant and Chapman Company and R. G. Mill Ter & Sons, Inc. of Hartford and the New Haven Dairy and Sagal Lou Products company of New Ha- ven, Pointing out that the profit in their industry comes from by-prod- icts such as cheese and cream, the dealers itemize expenses as fol- lows:
 To the farmer, $O7.ss; for wages, 4.O367; executive salaries, $.00.12; repairs, $.0059; taxes, $,0035; pow er, fuel, $.0032; bottles, caps, $.00.26; advertising, $.00.22; admin istrative supervision, 500. 14; all other expenses, $.00.61; totaling s.13.61.,

FUND TRANSFER
 VOTED BY BOARD
City Should Have Bought New Fire Equipment Year
 Ago Says Walker

The board of aldermen last night voted an 5000 transfer to pay for 8 new 750-gallon bumper which the fire department will purchase to re- place Engine 3, which was badly damaged in collision with Truck l on Baldwin street last month. Be- fore the transfer was voted, Alder man Burton H. Walker declared that provision should have been made in this years budget as well as in last years for purchase of new equipment.
 Alderman Walker has charged several times that the crash be- tween the two pieces of apparatus, which resulted in injuries to six flremen and a civilian, would not have occurred if a modern engine had been answering the call in- stead of the antiquated Engine g., which had been in sevrice more than 25 years.
 Since the meeting was a special one, debate was limited to only those matters listed in the call for the SC ssion and Alderman Walker was unable to repeat his criticism of alleged "penny-pinching" by the city in withdrawing private nurses from the cases of injured firemen, still at St. Mary's hospital.
 The board authorized the trans fer of 5000 from the revolving sewer fund to pay the city's share of WPA sewer projects during March and April.
 Also voted was @ $500 appropria- ton from the pipe item in the wa ter department to floating debt"

Torrington, March 25-Rev. Fran cis J. Sugrue of South Norwalk, a recognized authority on birth con- trol, charged at 8 mass meeting at Sacred Heart Hall Monday night that the birth control organization of this state has made a dishonest effort to give the impression that the Catholic Church is also respon- sible for the opposition to birth control when as a matter of fact the opposition is also evident among other faiths.
 Father Sugrue spoke to more than 500 persons, number of whom are active in the birth control organiza- ton. He said he was speaking as 8 citizen rather than as member of the clergy and during his ad- dress would refrain from referring to canon or church law.
 He suggested that the birth con- trol organization use its efforts to increase the wages of heads of families to at least $40 a week rather than put 8 limit on the num- Der of children in those families.
 Members of the birth control or- ganization, Father Sugrue further charged, are an irresponsible group of people who resort to false and unscientific notions in their at- tempts to influence thousands of people in this state.
 Before his address, Senator Thom- as F. Curtin explained the proposed measure advocated by the birth control organization and Judge

 Jack Coffey, the architect that we recommended for the new school job, never had @ chance to qualify. His name was against him, but that doesn't worry Jack.
