Catholic Information
WHO LIKES TO GO TO
 CONFESSION?

Who really likes to kneel before a priest and accuse himself of sins, naming the grievous ones, giving the number of times they were committed - promising restitution if need be, expressing true sor- row, resolving, with the help of Gods grace, never to sin again? Is there anyone who really likes to do that?
 Imagine the most powerful ruler of any nation obliging his subjects to confess like that to him or to his delegatesl There would be a revolution, wouldn't there? Yet the Catholic church has ever had just such a law for its millions of people in every cline and in every age. Not 8 single one is exempt.
 For this there is only one req son-a Cody reason. To the Cath olic, confession to a priest was commanded by Christ, who is God, when He said to His first priests: "Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain they are retained" (John 20:23). These divine words, every Catholic believes, were meant for all priests of all time and irn- posed an obligation on all Cath olics of all time.
 Confessing directly to God? Every Catholic worthy of the name does just that every time he realizes that he has committed a grievous sin. At office or mill, on the street or in the home-as soon as this realization comes to him-he begs Gods forgiveness at once: but he goes to the confess sional also where he confesses again directly to God before a priest who must hear the sins if he is to forgive them in Gods name,-if he is to judge, advise, and encourage the penitent.
 Who likes to go to Confession? :? Perhaps the Pope and saintly car- dinals, bishops, priests, nuns, and the more devout laity-all of whom must also confess to a priest-like to go to Confession to express sor- row for their sins of the past and to creep even closer to Gods heart through the great graces of the great Sacrament of Penance. But he whose sins are the blackest-i1e who most dreads the humility of Confessional he is truly penitent, receives just as truly the merciful Forgiveness of God and comes forth from the confessional sinless, forti- fled, and with happiness beyond anything in this world; for as St.. Luke tells us: 'There shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon the ninety-nine just who need not pen- ance" duke 15:7).

Our Waterbury The first sawmill opened in Wa ferbury said to have been the Mad River at Saw mill Plain and to give you idea of this locality local histories say this somewhat south of the Meriden turnpike what was later designated Mill Plain How ever this is pretty long ago. when we were Mattatuck no doubt . This particular sawmi is thought to have had clapboards brought from Pennington About 184O Samuel Copey built sawmill at Turkey Brook in Oakvle which would join Steeles Brook, and
 no other industry has been recorded htched up to that stream Hancock Brook which came into the Nauga-

Thomas made clocks Near Turkey Hill Brook at East Mountain road there a Sawmi and small shop hereabouts where wooden bowls were made and some where near crossroad leading to Prospect there was one of the earliest manufacturing sites where spinning wheels were made One of the earliest grants recorded here was at the site of the first grist mill which was later occupied by the Scvoi Manufacturing Company It is pretty certain the mill became button factory in 1908
 The ml-to-factory sequence runs through our his fory and these mills were second in importance to the town meeting houses Somebody ii those olden days ran mill and the grist and sawml lead to small fac tories which eventually grew into what we have today, past manufacturing plants that helped win the war n short might say great factories from little saw mills grew
