CANONIZATION SOUGHT Father Serra's advocates stand ready to prove he was a martyr, a worker of miracles, a writer of pro found religious documents and a shining example of holy life each in itself a basis of the canonization which is sought for him by California Franciscans, in co-operation with the Third Order of St Francis.

An old print of Father Serra, founder of California's many missions, whose death will be commemorated on Friday. Royal Navy's guns at Monterey boomed their sorrow and officers bore his sandals to sea to ward off storms. Faithful Indians fought in their grief for shreds of his poor brown robe and forvlhe white locks of his hair the hairwhich had been a shining beacon he cut the un erring trail which ffas become the El Camino Real, the broad, scenic California coast highway. CONVERTED BIKE All his famed deeds will be re lated. Untold, perhaps, will be the smaller, human interest events the intimate slices of his life which reveal the father as a man, possessing humor, fear, tact and a rich capacity for utilizing the weapons at hand to overcome obstacles.

He turned to his youthful Indian companion "Treat me as if I were a horse," he ordered.

Fearful of results, but dutiful, the Indian crushed and heated some tallow, mixed it with native herbs and applied the poultice. Father Serra continued, to found his next mission. Reports of Indian nakedness always had interested him. Upon meetings his first Indian men, he wrote: "I saw that which I had hardly managed to believe when I used to read it or they told me of It which was their going totally nude as Adam in Paradise before his sin." But his ready humor bubbled within him when he met his first Indian women and he noted with relief "we could take it In good part if greater nudities were, never seen among the Christian women of the missions.

DISHES LONDON, Aug. 26. U.Pj Grank- lin Koons, 23, a farm boy from the Iowa hog arid corn country, moved up to a crack in an old French stable wall, poked his rifle through and pulled the trigger. Today Corporal Koons was cred ited by his commanders with firing the first American shot on European soil in World War II. Koons, a member of the American Rangers, participated in the Dieppe attack last week.

But not until he got back to Britain and the reports of the Americans in the attack were checked did he know he'd fired the first shot. Koons went ashore on the Dieppe coast with three other American Rangers. They moved up under cover of a gully toward their ob iective a Nazi coastal battery and encountered some sniping from the Germans. Here, In Koons' own words, is how the first shot was fired: "I took refuge in a stable and be gan sniping back, firing through a crack from a standing position. I fired quite a number of rounds at odd, stray Jerries who sometimes appeared, and I am pretty sure got one of thein." There were three other Americans in his group, and while he has been Lodge Holds Rites For P.A.A.
