Remove Names On
City Aid List
Government to Send Checks for Forestry Service
City Has l9z in Civilian Corps

flee. William M. Harris, head of
the fund distribution said the
names would be dropped from the
list when he was assured that the
government checks had been re-
ceived by families whose relatives
were enrolled in the forestry SER
vice.
Mr. Harris said he had received
assurances from the government
that the checks would be received
in Waterbury on or about June 9Th
which is today's date. They rep
resent the first government checks
to be received here as a result of
the local mems forestry enrollmnt.
The checks in the amount Of $40
are for the first allotment of young
men to leave Waterbury for the
forestry camps. They have served
their first month in the camps.
The procedure is to allot S. to the
men at camp and the balance of
S25 to the families of the forestry
men.
Waterbury's total enrolment at
the forestry camps is 1872. When
these 1872 young men are an in
camp at least month, their fam
lilies will be dropped from the To-
cal relief lists because as Mr. Harris
pointed out today, they will be re-
ceiving more money from the gov
eminent than they would receive
from the Unemployed Fund.

MISSION OPENED
AT ST MICHAEL'S
Seven Days Service to Be
Conducted By Rev Ed
ward Sellman
VINCENTIAN FATHER

A congregation which occupied
every available pew and made ex-
ira seats necessary attended the
opening services of the mission at
st Michael's church in Waterville
last night. The mission, which
will be Of weeks duration and
which is for adults and youths of
high school age, is being conduct
ed by Rev Edward Sellman of the
Ohio band Of priests Of the Vim
centian missionary order. Father
Sellman Is a forceful speaker and
created an Unusually fine impress
sion last evening.
Mission masses will be celebrat-
ed daily at $3.50 a. m. and a. m,
and the evening service will be at
1880 o'clock. On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday afternoons at
3:45 o'clock there will be chill
dren's mission which will close at
the o'clock mass Saturday.
At last nights services Father
Sellman took as his text what
Doth 1t Profit Man, If He Gain
the Whole World and Suffer the
Loss of His Soul" He cited the
expression of Blessed Thomas
Moore whose statement, ETERNITY
is too great price to pay for the
greatest honors which life can
give" has become classic. He point
ed out that we have but one soul
and one life and that the salvation
of our souls Is the most important
thing in life. The exaggerated
sense Of values Of bodily welfare,
money, pleasure and ambition was
stressed, particularly when in seek
ing such values, care of the soul
is neglected. Death and judgment
are inevitable and, the preacher
remarked we should not forget
Christ's sacrifices for our saliva
ton.
There was also a brief instruc-
ton on the origin and significance
of the devotion of the rosary.
Rev William j. O'Shea, pastor of
st Michaels church, led the reci-
tation of the rosary and officiated
at Benediction of the Most Blessed
Sacrament.
At this mornings masses, Father
Sellman discussed the sacrament of
penance and the method of making
a good confession.
