Fred Shapiro and the Serenity Prayer (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

Classification:  UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

I suppose this is the 1936 quote (from Newspaperarchive):

_Syracuse [NY] Herald, 1936-01-16, p. 22. col 3.

" "WE NEED NEW FAITH IN OUR OWN HIGHEST IDEALS," says Miss Mildred
Pinkerton, executive secretary of the Syracuse Y.W.C.A. She calls
attention to new determinations, new interests in her annual report
recently submitted. Quotes the prayer-"0 God, give us courage to change
what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and
insight to know the one from the other." "
