i. 31 FRESNO, THUKSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER Nation Urged To Keep Heritage Built By fathers Rev J. Lyons, Speaker At Union Service, Calls Freedom Priceless Thanksgiving lor "a priceless heritage of freedom of conscience and freedom of worship" was urged today by Rev. J. L.

Lyons at union Thanksgiving services at the First Baptist Church, conducted under the sponsorship of the Fresno Ministerial Union and the Fresno Council of Churches. A capacity crowd filled the church auditorium. Rev. Galen Lee Itose directed the which included an invocation by. Rev.

E. Gv Dahlin, reading of the president's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation by Rev. H. Schmalle, a Scriptural reading by Rev. Forest Eisenbise, a prayer by Rev.

C. PhtHeo. and benediction by Rev. W. C.

Eddy. Music was presented by the First Baptist Church Choir. Rev. Lyons, speaking on A Priceless Heritage, said in part: IMlRrlms Kepoice "Perhaps the most as well as ihe most authentic story of the first Thanksgiving is found in Gregg's Founding Of A Nation. After a year of sickness, hunger, and intense anxiety, the Pilgrims were rejoicing that they were to reap an abundant harvest- No one was sick; they were at peace with the Indians; God was in His Heaven all was well with the world.

"These Pilgrim fathers considered their relatively prosperous conditions as a token of Divine approval The theme scrip of this fjrsi Thanksgiving was the twenty fourth Psalm. 'The earth is. the Lord's and ihe fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell Was Koy To Heritage "As we look, back to the first Thanksgiving; wn find in it ihe k-ey to our rich heritage. We often boast oCj the marvelous natural resources of (he United Siates, No oilier land perhaps has such varied sources of wealth. Our scientific progress is the marvel of the world and the average American citizen lives in comfort and even luxury, but our true inheriian.ee is not found in the irold in the bank vault, for our most priceless heritage is spiritual.

"Devotion to God nnd personal purity, which characterized these Pilgrim fathers, were built into the very fiber of our national life to make us a great nation. In their loyalty to principle, in the price they paid for freedom of conscience, we find the genesis to our democracy. It is no small matter in this day of dictatorships, in this day of the totalitarian state to be abie to jto.to the ballot box and vole as we choose, and worship God as we see fit. 'Build For "If we ore truly thankful for this priceless heritage, we will not be cnnteni until we build ft belter tomorrow. Wlih intelligent zeal nnd Christian fortitude, we will pay the price for social and economic Justice 1 ond do our part in serving this day nnd general ion they did in theirs, ever mindful ihai Yighiro ness exhrdteih a nation nnd sin Is ft reproach to any people.

Fresnans Share Holiday Fare With Homeless Proof that the generosity of Fres- nans on Thanksgiving extends beyond the confines of his own platter was attested by hundreds today whose Thanksgiving dinners were provided by the city's charitable organizations and civic institutions. More than 200 homeless men at the Fresno mission of the Volunteers of America were served a New England boiled dinner, with a variety of fruit included en the menu.

A dinner complete with cranberries pumpkins, fruits, nuts and ice cream was served free at the Penny A Dish Caf? on Mariposa Street. At the Nutritional Home the catering staff of the Hotel Fresno repeated their gift of a complete turkey dinner. The practice origi nated thirteen years ago and has been continued every year since. Sixty children and members of the home staff were the guests. Prisoners in the county jail sat down to a menu that began with roast leg of young pig and sage dressing an-d ended with a choice of pies, And at the Fresno County General Hospital and the Old Peoples Home the prepared a spei holiday meat for the diners.

J. B. Cox of 3S61 Balch Av nue is directing the drive for SI.500.

a sum which Dr. M. Ginsburg, director of the hospital, said would be sufficient to purchase a respirator. The corps will seek to enlist ihe aid of other fraternal lions, with the finance committee to be made up of Fresno physicians. "There is undoubtedly a need for another respirator at the hospital," Dr.

Ginsburg said, "for we can never predict when an emergency will arise. Three cases of infantile paralysis in 1932. 19,16 and 1937, all of them requiring the use of the respirator, have arisen when the respirator was already occupied." One Case Fatal Only one ol the three cases was fatal. That occurred on July 26, 1937, when Richard Johnson. 7.

of Orange Cove was stricken with paralysis while the Fresno respirator was in use. He died the follow- day after futile airplane trip to the unoccupied iron lung at the Kern County General Hospital in Bakersfield. Dr. Ginsburg said, however, the boy's condition was so serious that a respirator at Fresno probably would not have helped him. The iron lung at the local hospital, regulated to expand and contract ihe chest of 36 year old Robert Allen of Tulare, has so improved his condition since July that he is now flble to spend thirteen hours; of each day, alternate forty five i out of the machine.

Burns, Fresno City district member of the assembly, today announced he will seek the speajt- ership of a body at the next session of ihe legislature.

Already Henry P.

"Offers of support have coir.e from throughout the stale, leading me to believe 1 will have an excellent chance to win. San Joa- quiii Valley delegation is large, and it is a very important part of the legislature. We in this area should have some recognition, and as far as I have been able to learn no valley man ever has attained the speakership." Tlrst Term Burns is now completing his first term as a member of the assembly, having been elected by an overwhelming majority in the genera' election last year.

He was The author of the Burns Venereal Control Act, a measure directed at eradication of social diesses. and obtained approval of legislation, providing for the purchase by the state of Fresno State College properties which formerly were in private ownership. He also was author of the measure grafting- additional funds for operation of tfie state colleges. He was a member of the important ways and means committee of the assembly. Although Burns has made no formal declaration of his candidacy for reelection, his statement, that he will seek the speakership is tantamount to such an announcement, since he must stand for reelection John, IVillig, 2S, of Middletown, a registered nurse recently unemployed was burned on the face and legs in ihe tragedy that took five lives.
