# Proclamation 4597

Delivered on 19 September 1978.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The founding of the United Nations, on October 24, 1945, was an historic attempt to establish a framework for international cooperation.
The nations of the world now face such tasks as maintaining international peace and security; promoting basic human rights; building a better international economic order; and allocating fairly the globe's natural resources. The United Nations and its affiliated agencies bring together representatives of all nations to work together toward these goals. It holds out the vision of a truly cooperative world-a world at peace.
As one of its founding members, as its leading contributor, and as its host country, the United States feels a special pride in the Organization's accomplishments.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Tuesday, October 24, 1978, as United Nations Day.
I have appointed Clifton C. Garvin, Jr., to be United States National Chairman for United Nations Day.
I urge Americans to become better acquainted with the institutions that make up the United Nations, to consider its role in addressing the problems of global interdependence, and to help it resolve the array of critical international issues that face us in these times.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

# Proclamation 4601

National Good Neighbor Day, 1978
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
As our Nation struggles to build friendship among the peoples of this world, we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others.
Understanding, love, and respect build cohesive families and communities. The same bonds cement our Nation, and the nations of the world.
For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other an opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family.
In recognition of the importance of fostering compassion and respect in ourselves for our neighbors, the Congress has requested the proclamation of September 24, 1978, as National Good Neighbor Day (S.J. Res. 133).
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 24, 1978, as National Good Neighbor Day.
I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

# Proclamation 4599

Delivered on 21 September 1978.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
When we Americans stop to reflect about our wealth of natural resources and the benefits they bestow, we quickly realize the worth of our Nation's forests. One-third of our land, some 740 million acres, is forested, and we get a wide range of essential products from many of these forests. Trees become houses to shelter us, books to convey our thoughts, packaging to protect our food, energy to power our factories or heat our homes.
A forest can be many things at the same time. With sound management, we need never fear running out of trees. A forest is a renewable resource. But for all its powers of regeneration, a forest is not in- vulnerable. If we use it unwisely or wastefully, it can disappear. If we ignore the diverse needs of our people, the forests will cease to preserve the natural watersheds, to provide a home for wildlife or a wilderness where our people can renew their spirits. Many of the earth's problems today are the result of generations of destructive deforestation that has left lands barren and wasted. We must make sure that man's works lie gently on our land, so that we may leave for future generations a richer, more abundant, more beautiful land than we inherited.
Research is helping to show the ways to get as much usable material as possible from each harvested tree, finding better methods for protecting wood products so they last longer and developing ways to recycle used wood into new products. Our scientists are also finding ways to make trees grow faster, and to protect the forest from its natural enemies of fire, insects, and disease.
The Congress has designated the third week of October in each year as National Forest Products Week to remind us of the importance of forests in our national life.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 15 through 21, 1978, as National Forest Products Week and ask all Americans to reflect upon the value of our forests.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

# Proclamation 4603

Delivered on 28 September 1978.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Our founders assumed that an educated electorate was essential to a strong, healthy democracy. Freedom of speech, thought and inquiry are part of the basic structure of our society, and we share a fundamental belief that education can provide the key to overcoming all our problems. We have come long way toward providing access to schools for all our people, and we provide enormous resources for education. We can be proud of that progress, as we are proud of the progress of many of our students, both youngsters and adults. But we must also recognize that many young Americans still emerge from our schools inadequately prepared to take up the responsibilities of adult life. Others have not been sufficiently challenged to develop their full potential.
Teaching has never been easy, and inspiring students is more difficult still. Perhaps it is even harder today than in the past, but it is no less crucial to the wellbeing of our people and of our society.
The theme of this year's American Education Week, "Education Can Turn Things Around," expresses our faith in the power of education. We expect our teachers to provide the skills, knowledge and background for understanding that will allow all Americans to make the best use of their God-given abilities. If they are to succeed, we must support these goals for human achievement in all aspects of our society. We can do this by placing our priorities and our emphasis on the lasting instead of the trivial, by rewarding quality and accomplishment, by respecting true knowledge, by raising important questions and seeking honest answers, by valuing and nurturing the capabilities of every human being.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning November 12, 1978, as American Education Week.
It is appropriate that we honor what is right and good in education in America today-the dedicated, searching teachers who demand much of themselves and their students, who push beyond failure and discouragement to light the spark of understanding. It is appropriate, also, to recognize our responsibility as parents, grandparents, neighbors and citizens, to support the efforts of our schools to meet our high expectations, so that now and in generations to come our people may become a truly educated people.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

# Proclamation 4605

Delivered on 13 October 1978.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Millions of Americans have come to view jogging as an enjoyable, affordable, and effective way to keep in shape.
Most medical authorities agree with them, saying that a reasonable and regular program of jogging improves the heart, the circulatory system, and the lungs, while helping runners take off, or ward off, excess weight.
Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring. It is a blessing to our Nation that so many of our people have rediscovered this simple pleasure.
By Joint Resolution (H.J. Res. 685) the Congress has designated October 14, 1978, as National Jogging Day.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby declare October 14, 1978, as National Jogging Day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

# Progress of Vice

Written in 1790, first published in the collected works of 1834.
Nemo repente turpissimus
Deep in the gulph of Vice and Woe Leaps Man at once with headlong throw? Him inborn Truth and Virtue guide, Whose guards are Shame and conscious Pride. In some gay hour Vice steals into the breast; Perchance she wears some softer Virtue’s vest. By unperceiv’d degrees she tempts to stray, Till far from Virtue’s path she leads the feet away.
Then swift the soul to disenthrall Will Memory the past recall, And Fear before the Victim’s eyes Bid future ills and dangers rise. But hark! the Voice, the Lyre, their charms combine — Gay sparkles in the cup the generous Wine — Th’ inebriate dance, the fair frail Nymph inspires, And Virtue vanquish’d — scorn’d — with hasty flight retires.
But soon to tempt the Pleasures cease; Yet Shame forbids return to peace. And stern Necessity will force Still to urge on the desperate course.
The drear black paths of Vice the wretch must try, Where Conscience flashes horror on each eye, Where Hate — where Murder scowl — where starts Affright! Ah! close the scene — ah! close — for dreadful is the sight.

# Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act, 1949

* related portals: Acts of the Parliament of South Africa.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
The "Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act" (Act No. 55 of 1949) was a South African Act of Parliament which prohibited marriages between "Europeans" (white people) and "non-Europeans". It was one of the first pieces of apartheid legislation introduced after the rise to power of the National Party in 1948. It worked hand-in-hand with the Immorality Act, 1927 (and its successor the Immorality Act, 1957), which prohibited extra-marital sex between white people and people of other races. It was amended once, in 1968 by the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Amendment Act, 1968, to invalidate inter-racial marriages contracted by South African men living outside of South Africa. It was repealed in 1985 by the Immorality and Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Amendment Act, 1985.
This is the text as originally enacted and does not incorporate the 1968 amendment. A version incorporating that amendment is also available on Wikisource.
