THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1944 FDR DOESN'T ATTEND CHURCH
Folks keep writing to ask us, says Pathfinder Magazine, about President Roosevelt's church-going habits. The Rev. Howard S. Wilkinson, rector of Washington's staid St. Thomas's Episcopal Church, says: Before the War he came fairly regularly—five or six times out of ten. Now the Secret Service doesn't like for him to attend. I have held services for the President at the White House a number of times."
