Priest tLouds Brass City

The Rev. John s. Kennedy, of Hartford, associate editor of the Catholic Transcript, writer of the column, "The Sitting Floor" de- votesvotes his entire column in the current issue of the paper to Wa terbury'S Irish-Catholic back ground. Father Kennedy says: of all the cities I have visited in vari- ous parts of the country, Water bury is one of my top favorites."
 In his articles Father Kennedy regrets the folklore of the city is passing as it becomes more stan dardized and regrets that some writer has not produced book, a novel preferably, about this Irish Catholic background. There is a teeming mine of material in the city's past hundred years" Father Kennedy says.
 Father Kennedy is leading Catholic book reviewer, writing for several periodicals, and also is a lpecturer of note. Presently he is one of the leaders in campaign against obscene literature.
