Tom PIlrceIls Wllby Wildcats have their work cut out for them in the local valley league opener, with Arsonia, at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. AL though the Green and White mem tor did not have the turnout that the other schools did, his practice sessions at Washington Park, for the past three weeks, from the ma- terial on hand, the wildcats boast a formidable array of baseball talent. "Lanky" Jimmy Aherns will prob ably be named to face Southpaw Tom CaSagrande in the opening tilt, which will usher in the first pre-war high school baseball season. On the field to support Aherns and Wilby in their championship aspirations will be: Hubie Ray at first base and Bob McAree holding down second. Don Belanger will probably start at third and Mario Quattro will cover short stop. Eddie Cavanaugh, Jackie Rush and Frankie Datelle look like the probable outfield contenders, while Billy Darlington will work from behind the plate. Despite the fact that Wilby picked a tough opening opponent, in Ansonia which was deadlocked with Torrington for the Valley League championship honors last season, Coach Purcell hopes to get a first hand view of the Wilby baseball Setup from this init ial contest.
 Sacred Heart High opens it's sea- son on April 18th with a home con- test with ThomaSton. Coach Roy "Duster" Murphy has yet to name his regular team as scheduled work outs will not be concluded until the latter part of this week,

 During Atty. Tobin's questioning of MT. Piccochi MT. Healey objected saying "Mr. Tobin, MT. Tobin, you are taking advantage of a situation. At any time I say MT. Tobin' is should be assumed to be an objec- tion."
 Atty. Tobin, turning to the com mittee, declared: Tt is most un- fortunate Mir. Healey is not sit- ting as a judicial officer"
 About 50 were present at the hearing. Alderman Edward Lasky said the committee would take the matter under advisement. The com mittee consisted of Aldermen Lasky, Martin Tehan, Edward Rafferty, Burton Walker and Thomas Bren- nan

Walter Lynch also a veteran Cham pagne. said he wished to erect a store worth $6,O00 to $8,000 and fur ther wished to enter business be- cause of recurrent attacks of ill., ness brought on by spinal menin- gitis he suffered during his serV- ice. Those opposing the change were Joseph Pendy. James McGrath, Russell Farrell, and Quenton Quinn.
 Variety Store
 Mrs. Sanzeri asked permission for the change of zone so she could erect a variety store on the lot.

pr. Walker Advocating Prayers
 Second Church Pastor
 Claims Decision
 Makers Need Help

The nations of this world are now, as seems universally agreed, at the parting of the ways" stated Rev. pr. John 0. Walker, pastor of the Sec ond Congregational Church, in his sermon entitled, The Significance of the Church" last Sunday.
 pr. Walker said in part:
 Within the next few days and weeks the most fateful of decisions must be made and our prayers ought to go up ike incense on behalf of those who have to make the great decisions of state. We are living in an apocalyptic age and the threat of a world where "the heavens are dissolved in fire and the clements melt in a fervent heat" is no longer a matter of fevered imagination but the dreadful possibility, the ter- rible probability if we begin race in the building of atomic weapons. John Foster Dulles speaking at theological seminary shortly after his return from attendance at the United Nations Assembly, said, "Out In Tennessee there is plant which turns out bombs. Here we have a plant that turns out ministers of the gospel The issue of our time, perhaps the issue of all human time, is which of the two outputs will pre- vail"
 Just one final word. It Is suggested by the text itself, by the concluding clause thereof, Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her" This Is simp- ly another way of saying, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled" It has been proven, not simply by the martyrs of the Early Church but by those who have suf- fered for conscience sake in our generation, that although men may lose the bread of this life and be starved and beaten and tortured and left to die, those who endure as seeing him who Is invisible, have bread to eat of which the world knows naught. The men and the churches which have suffered perse- cution have not only survived but grown stronger and mighty under the hand of God. The Church of Christ will live on in the world and grow in grace and power in the measure in which we, the members of the Church, cease to be too much cumbered with fears and cares and learn more and more of what the Blessed Master has to teach us when we sit at His feet.

Construction

Continued from Page D tenance and repair work in indus tries, utilities and transportation systems likewise were not covered. Housing Exped.tor Wilson w. Wyatt and Civilian Production Ad- ministrator John D. Small planned to disclose further details of the program at a news conference this afternoon. Small said. the success or failure of the program hinged on public support.
 Local Control Asked
 Small said the program would be administered on Q local level. Citi- zenS committees have been set up in each community to screen all building applications. Even If pro- posed projects are found essential, every effort will be made to defer them aS long as possible.
 The order had been delayed be- cause C.PA. had no funds to put into operation. That barrier was removed when Congress passed the Mead Resolution permitting the National Housing Administration to set aside specific funds for the program.
 Specifically the order requires Government permission to start 8 construction or repair job above these limits:
 Houses, including farrnhouses and residential garages, $400.
 Hotels, resorts, apartment houses, and residential buildings to be oc- cupied by more than five families, $l,0O0.
 Commercial or service establish ments such as offices, stores, gar- ages( theaters, warehouses, and gas service stations, $l,000.
 Churches, hospitals, schools, pub- lie buildings, and charitable insti- tutions, $l,000.
 Factories, lumber camps, com mercial airports, railroad buildings, research laboratories, motion pic ture sets, utility structures includ- ing telephone and telegraph, and oil, gas and petroleum refining and distribution buildings, $l5,0O0.
 Other buildings not previously covered, $20O.
 Job Defined
 The order defined "job" as the entire cost of the construction and repair work as estimated at the time 1t begins. It includes labor, value of new mechanical equip mer1t, fixtures and materials incor- porated into the building, and con- tractors fees.
 There is no limit on the number of jobs which may be started with out the exemption limit. but each must be separate and complete in itself. For example, a $2,00O repair job on a store cannot be divided in- to two separate jobs to come within the $l, 900 exemption.
 FILA will automatically approve all applications for veterans houS- ing priorities assistance in obtain ing building materials will be grant, ed only to veterans housing and to a few critical classes" of es- sential construction. Thus permits to build under this order will not necessarily carry priorlties aSsis- tance with approval.

Clash of Attorneys HighLights Meeting Aldermanic Session of Zoning
 Changes Develops Into
 Something "More Interesting"

A clash of local attorneys hlgn- lighted last nights aldermanic pub-, lie hearings on zoning ordinances held in the city hall.
 Atty. Frank T. Healey and Atty. John Tobin representing opposing groups clashed in verbal tilt cen- tered upon an application of one Louis Leone for 8 change from res- ldence zone B to business Zone l of land on Congress Avenue and Ross Street. for permission to erect a gasoline station.
 The contest revolved around the claim of Atty. Tobin, representing MT. Leone, that opposition to the proposed construction had been "misrepresented". MT. Healey rep- resenting John A. Altieri, 591 Con- gress Avenue, and a group of neigh bors from that area, claimed that the land in question was not ade- quate for the erection of gas sta- tion.
 Questioning Mir. Altieri, Atty. Tobin asked whether he had been the one who sought petitions from neighbors in opposition to MT. Leone's request. The man answered in the negative. It was then dis closed that one Vincent Piccochi of 105 Avon Avenue had undertaken the petitioning.
 Admits Statement
 Selecting a sample petition, and waving it before MT. Piccochi, Atty. Tobin asked whether he had told one neighbor, named by the attor- ney that the gas station would be erected by an out-of-town resident. The man first denied this but later admitted 1t to be true.
 Atty. Healey attempted to point out that the land in question was inadequate in size for erection of a gas station. Questioning MT. Leone, he asked front measurement of the lot. MT. Leone said the deed de- clared t to be 40 feet more or less"
 Atty. Healey pressed the witness further declaring That is what the deed says, but what is the actual size?"
 Atty. Tobin objected, declaring that most of the deeds in Water bury declare a size of land to be so many feet more or less".
 Calling Altieri to testify, MT Healey asked him what he thought was the minimum front footage re- Quired for @ gas station. Altieri who told the committee he is a contractor and lives next door to the lot in question, said he believed at least 40 feet would be needed He further stated that most of the lots in the area are 35 feet long.
 Next, Mir. Tobin said he thought the committee shouldn't "be both cred by this sort of thing"
 MT. Healey retorted: And I don't

 Residing in West Hartford, he is a graduate of Notre Dame Univer- sity and is chairman of the advis- ory board of Albertus Magnus Col lege, New Haven.
 A widespread reform in the ad- ministration of the Cheshire Re- formatory was instituted by the board of directors. Reclassifica- ton of inmates, renovations and repairs to the physical structure and a shake-up in the personnel system of the institution are major parts of the reform.
 The latter moves resulted from hard-tought, bitterly contested inc sistence on the boards part that such changes, be made. The board was led in its fight by Senator Wall lace and former state Senator Jos- eph R. Neil (R) of Watertown. Both men have followed closely all activities at the institution.
