Show I PATRIOTISM IS : STRESSED BY LIONS AT INSTALLATION To preserve America's independence inde-pendence and to save our liberties as American ciiiens, we must Propag.imli.-.o patriotism as suc-Cfsstully suc-Cfsstully as Hitler has the Nazi doctrines, Dr. paul s Hichards told Lions club members at their installation night banquet Tuesday Tues-day evening in the Masonic hall.
