Virtually everything was closed, Federal, county and city of- | fices, the Naval Base and Submarine activities, and practically all the stores. The forenoon was marked by the services of four Protestant | Churches in the First Methodist Church and the sunrise service that was held by the Poinciana Baptist Church on the shores of the lake at Poinciana Place. “It is good that a nation should set aside some definite time for Thanksgiving, but it is more than a duty, it is a privilege and an opportunity,” said the Rev. John E. Pickens, pastor of the Congre- gational Church, who preached the sermon today in First Methodist Church. The Rev. Mr. Pickens quoted from George Washington's presidential proclamation of 158 years ago, “Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits and humbly impore His protection and favor.” The churches that joined in the services, which attracted a crowd of nearly 300 persons, were the Baptist, Congregational, Fleming ‘ wStreet Methodist and the First ae | Methodist.
