Thanksgiving Sermon Topic
 Christ Scientist
 Service Tomorrow

Thanksgiving" will be the sub ject of the Lesson-Sermon at the Thanksgiving esrVice of First Church of Christ, Scientist tomor- row at 10:45. A part of this serv- ice will be devoted to testimonies and expressions of gratitude by Christian Scientists.
 The restoration of peace has re- stored the activity of Christian Science churches in many countries. All branch churches, numbering several thousand throughout the world, will conduct services Of thanksgiving.
 The following are citations from the lesson-sermon:
 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the moun- tains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands"
 Correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Christians rejoice in secret beauty and bounty, hidden from the world, but known to God. Self-forgetfulness, purity and affection are constant prayers. Practice not profession, understand ing not belief, gain the ear and right hand of omnipotence and they as- suredly call down infinite blessings. Trustworthiness is the foundation of enlightened faith. Without a fit- ness for holiness. we cannot receive holiness"

Committee Hears PostsUar Action

Washington, Nov. 21-(UP)-The House Military Affairs committee was told yesterday that political expediency prevented adoption of a compulsory military training pro- gram after World War I.
 Rep. James w. WadsWorth, R.. N. Y, a former Senator and chair man of the Senate Military Affairs committee when the National De- fense Act of 1920 was drafted made the statement.
 Tt was presidential election year, and the first draft of the National Defense Act included a universal training program" Wads- worth said.
 But leaders of both political parties came to me and to mem bers of the committee and told us if we dared to keep 1t in the bill, it would be kicked around like a political football, and 1t would be so discredited it wouldn't have a chance in either the Senate or House.

Ice Cream Plant Head
Dies in Refrigerator
By the Associated Press.


STAMFORD, Conn, July 16.-
Saul H. Perry, so. froze to death
yesterday when he was trapped In a
compartment of a refrigerator at the
Pickwick Ice Cream Co. plant
which he operated.
DR.. Ralph w. Crane, medical ex-
aminer, said there was evidence of
desperate efforts on Mr.. Perry's
part to escape from the compart-
ment where the temperature was
40 below zero.
The lock on the inside of the To-
inch-thick door, which apparently
slammed behind him as he entered
the compartment, had broken a
week ago, authorities said, and
parts of it had been sent away for
repairs. 81 .aA a,. r.ss' A-f
Mr.. Perry's body was discovered
by his wife, who herself was trapped
IN the compartment last week but
was freed after. five minutes when
a workman noticed her plight.
DR.. Crane said Mr.. Perry had
ripped the cardboard coverings of
several ice cream containers, had
piled them against the door and had
used an entire box of matches in q
futile effort to set them afire. There
was evidence also that he had bat
tered the door with a 5-gallon ice
cream can and had used his foun-
tain pen in an effort to manipulate
the plunger of the lock.
He was wearing heavy overcoat
when found, and DR.. Crane said he
had been dead from two to three
hours.
