THE YEARS of the German oc-
cupation were difficult ones for
those who lived in the La Rochelle
district, but many of the villagers
did what they could for the resis-
tance movement—and not the least
among them was the priest, now in
his late 60’s. And when liberation
finally came, a great celebration
was arranged with Father Antoine
as the guest of honor.
After the dinner there was a
good deal of reminiscing among
the veterans of the underground,
but when someone asked the
priest to tell of his own adven-
turer, he smiled and declined.
"The occupation was eventful for
all of us," he explained, "but in
my culling the eventful is almost
an everyday occurrence. As a
matter of fact, the first confes-
sion I ever heard was that of a
murderer."
Then, remembering his vows,
Father Antoine apologized for his
off-guard remark, and despite the
urging of the guests would say no
more.
Later that evening a delegation
of underground workers from other
districts joined the celebraUon ar.d
