Priest Back
From Moscow
After 3 Years
Says He Has Great Hope
For Future; Says Many
Russians Believe I'm God

NEW YORK-(NC) - An Amer
can priest, recently returned from
three years in Russia, told how
Soviet police scrutinized visitors to
the Moscow apartment house in

Mass, went to Moscow in 1850. He
remained there until last Febru-
airy. He was permitted to offer
Mass and perform other religious
rites for 125 Catholics from the
diplomatic staffs of 13 nations.
On the days when he offered
Mass in his apartment, Father
Brassard said the police looked
over all who entered and no Soviet
citizens would have been permit
ted to attend. On Christmas and
other important feasts Father Bras
sard was permitted to celebrate
Mass in the residence of the Unit

SportSmen's Club
Enlarging "Rec''
Area On CaSSelman

The Casselman Valley Sports
mems club is sponsoring the dredg-
ing of earth from the bottom
of the Casselman river near Grants
Vile, to the breast of the historic
Stanton's Mill dam in a planned
recreational program.
Purpose Of the project is to re-
inforce the breast of the dam which
was constructed i'm 1896 and for
over a century was used to supply
power for the Stanton Grist mill,
which is now operated by electric
power.
The dam has been a popular
swimming pool in recent years, and
additional recreation facilities are
planned. During the past week
steps were taken to provide a sec
tion of the stream below the dam
as a trap for fish which might
otherwise have been destroyed dur
ing the dredging work.
Charles C. Nathan, member of
the State Game and Inland Fish
Commission, who volunteered to su-
peivise the work, pointed out that
the dam is three-quarters of mile
long and $50 feet wide at the
breast.
Other improvements aside from
the repair of the dam include the
building of small swimming poo
for children, and a picnic area with
fireplaces, adjoining the Grants
willie baseball park. The roads lead
