A Proclamation
On December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright revolutionized transportation in America and the world. The two brothers made the first successful flight in a heavier-than-air, mechanically-propelled airplane designed and built by them after years of difficult experimentation.
In the 71 years since their epic flight, aviation and space technology has contributed to closer ties among the peoples of the world by igniting their imagination, promoting commerce, and encouraging travel.
To commemorate the historic achievements of the Wright brothers, the Congress, by a joint resolution of December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402), designated the seventeenth day of each December as Wright Brothers Day. It requested that the President issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation, and their local and national government officials, to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1974, with appropriate ceremonies and activities to recall the accomplishments of the Wright brothers and to encourage further aviation advances in this country and throughout the world.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
This Nation has always been committed to fostering the health of its people, and particularly of its children. Immunization against disease has been an exciting chapter in that effort. The United States can take pride in the dedicated research which has produced safe and effective vaccines against polio, measles, rubella, and other childhood diseases.
Cooperation by the medical profession and public health organizations in distributing these vaccines to children has achieved dramatic reductions in diseases which can kill, cripple, or cause birth defects, including mental retardation. Because of their tragic consequences, we dare not let down our guard against a resurgence of these diseases.
The President's Committee on Mental Retardation has brought to my attention an alarming decline of immunity levels among pre-school children. Last year more than 40 percent of these children were unprotected against either polio, measles, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, or tetanus. On polio, for example, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Center for Disease Control reports that immunization levels dropped from 79 percent in 1963 to 60 percent in 1973.
Our children are America's future. Let us make that future a healthy one, for their sake and the Nation's sake.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 20, 1974, as "Immunization Action Week," and call upon all parents, educators, and medical personnel to exert renewed efforts during this week and throughout the year to immunize every American child against diseases for which vaccines are available.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

November 5, 1974
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Each week more than a thousand Americans die as a result of accidents, heart attacks, and other medical crises because emergency medical assistance is not available.
For many years, physicians and health professionals have been urging improved national facilities for emergency medical care. 'Last year the Congress passed the "Emergency Medical Services Systems Act of 1973" to create a national thrust toward that goal.
Two Federal agencies, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Department of Transportation, are now working closely with States and communities to improve medical emergency services. Although many cities enjoy satisfactory services, the great majority of our communities, especially in rural areas, still require considerable improvement.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning November 3, 1974, as Emergency Medical Services Week.
I call upon the Governors and mayors and all other State and local officials to assist hospital administrators and physicians, fire departments, and other public safety agencies in improving their emergency medical services.
I call upon Federal agencies, especially the two Departments mentioned above, to continue, with renewed vigor, their assistance to States and communities in accelerating their efforts to help those in need of emergency medical assistance.
And I call upon all our people to lend their support to these efforts. We are a traveling nation and none of us knows when we might need help far from home.
Let us affirm that the first year of this national legislation is only the beginning of our effort to improve this part of our total health care system so that no individual in this country will lack help when he needs it.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

A Proclamation
America and the world have changed enormously since the first thanksgiving 353 years ago. From a tiny coastal enclave on an untamed continent, we have grown into the mightiest, freest nation in human history. A civilization whose farthest reach was once the earth’s uncharted seas has now plumbed the secrets of outer space.
But the fundamental meaning of Thanksgiving still remains the same. It is a time when the differences of a diverse people are forgotten and all Americans join in giving thanks to God for the blessings we share - the blessings of freedom, opportunity and abundance that make America so unique.
This year, in the midst of plenty, we still face serious problems and massive challenges. In giving thanks for the many things we hold dear, let us also pray for the courage, resourcefulness and sense of purpose we will need to continue America’s saga of progress, and to be worthy heirs of the Pilgrim spirit. May we, too, find the strength and vision to leave behind us a better world, and an example that will inspire future generations to new achievements.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 28, 1974, as a day of national thanksgiving.
I call upon all Americans to gather together in homes and places of worship on this date, to join in offering gratitude for the countless blessings our people enjoy, and to share with the elderly and the unfortunate this special day that brings us all closer together.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

A Proclamation
The greatness of a nation of free institutions is measured by the degree of enlightenment of its citizens.
By that measure, ours is a great Nation. Our States provide schools for all Americans. And those schools-public, private and church-affiliated-are the vital centers of neighborhood and community life throughout the Nation.
It is most appropriate that the theme of this year's American Education Week is "Stay Involved," for there is no end to the educational process. "Staying involved" means that each of us is sufficiently concerned about the training and development of our young people to make the contribution to that educational process that our special training, experience, and perspective allow us to make.
I know that all Americans will resolve to stay involved in the educational process, for the knowledge we impart to our children today will determine the future of our people.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of October 27 through November 2, 1974, as American Education Week.
I invite all Americans to join with me and the dedicated educators of our Nation in exploring the more vital role schools can play in neighborhood and community life.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our vast and complex system of justice cannot function without the skill and dedication of our Nation's legal secretaries. Without these unsung heroines of the legal process, the wheels of justice would grind to a permanent halt. They deserve the praise, gratitude and respect not only of their employers but of the system which they serve so well. One way in which their employers can demonstrate their appreciation for jobs well done is by giving their legal secretaries greater opportunities to observe courtroom proceedings-to see more of the system in action.
To pay tribute to this fine group of Americans, and to encourage their exposure to courtroom proceedings, the Congress by House Joint Resolution 898 of the Ninety-third Congress, has requested the President to proclaim the second full week in October, 1974, as National Legal Secretaries' Court Observance Week.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 14, 1974, as National Legal Secretaries' Court Observance Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Furthermore, I call upon the legal community, throughout that week and during the ensuing year, to enhance their legal secretaries' understanding of their role in the administration of justice in this Nation by affording them more opportunities to observe actual courtroom proceedings.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

A Proclamation
The drug trade, by destroying. individual lives and dividing families and communities, strikes at the heart of our national well-being.
America's response has not been passive. During the past half decade, we have given the highest priority to eliminating this threat to the very fabric of our society.
Our enforcement programs, undertaken with the cooperation of 60 other nations, are aimed at stamping out the drug trade at all levels, from the growing process to street sales.
We are also rendering special Federal assistance to local law enforcement agencies. As a result, drug arrests are up, major traffickers have been jailed, and supplies have been reduced. But too many Americans still are victimized by drug abuse.
We must redouble our efforts to cut supplies and punish suppliers. And we must make a national commitment to rehabilitate former users.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of October 20-26, as Drug Abuse Prevention Week, 1974.
An important focus of our effort should be on the community acceptance of former drug abusers. For without a way back into society, the former addict still is prey to the pressures and pointlessness that contributed to his abuse in the first place. Let us begin, this week, to search out the techniques and resources we will need to help former drug abusers find their place in productive society-techniques and resources that will complement the work presently being carried out at the 1,240 Federally funded treatment centers and service points in more than 350 communities across the Nation.
I call upon officials at every level of government, upon. educators, medical professionals, and communicators, upon the business community and the civic groups of our Nation, upon the churches and clergy, and upon all who bear the special trusts of community leadership, to rededicate themselves during this week to the total banishment of drug abuse from American life.
I again urge every American to commit himself wholeheartedly, beginning now, to this supremely important humanitarian cause.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

A Proclamation
Parkinson's disease is one of the most devastating afflictions threatening our older population. Experts have estimated that one in forty Americans past mid-life may develop the disorder. Over the centuries, it has caused incalculable suffering.
Nine years ago, when National Parkinson Week was first proclaimed, the outlook for Parkinson's disease patients was one of increasing darkness. Today, however, the prospect is one of dawning hope. Because of progress in drug treatment, thousands of Americans formerly disabled by Parkinson's disease are now leading more normal lives. Yet the battle is not won. Although drugs presently control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, they do not cure or arrest it. Because the cause is still unknown, prevention is not possible.
With the great strides which have been made in treatment, however, we have reason to hope that research will soon find the cause of the disorder and thousands of our older citizens will be spared this disabling affliction. In recognition of the need to heighten public awareness of this disease, the Congress has, by Public Law 89-294, authorized and requested the President to proclaim annually National Parkinson Week.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 27 as National Parkinson Week, 1974. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.
I also call upon the Nation's communications media, the medical and health professions, Government and private agencies, and individuals concerned with Parkinson's disease to sponsor activities during that week designed to inform every American of the need for their support as we continue in our efforts to prevent and cure Parkinson's disease.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

VI. Frederic Casaubon.
I found this meritorious artist’s name in the books of the French Church of Threadncedle Street, and. have claimed him as a grandson of the great Isaac Casaubon; the registration of his betrothal, marking him a stedfast Protestant, declares that his father was Pierre Casaubon, who had settled in Germany. But as the maiden name of Pierre’s wife was Sibelle Aikin, there can be little doubt that he himself was an immigrant from England. Frederic Casaubon was betrothed to Anne Le Blanc, native of Paris, daughter of Guillaume Le Blanc and Susanne Brondre, at London, on May 21, 1673.
When Horace Walpole was compiling his memorials of English painters, he made use of the previous researches of “Graham” (as he calls him) in the same field. This [Richard?] Graham, as I am led to believe, published a regular book, but I have been unsuccessful in my search for that book. But a learned correspondent has called my attention to a translation from the French of Roger de Piles’ “Art of Painting and Lives of the Painters,” to which translation, published in 1706, there is appended an “Essay towards an English School, with the lives and characters of 100 painters;” this Essay is said to be partly by Graham. And in it I find a brief memoir of Frederic Casaubon, evidently the same person who in his above-mentioned betrothal is said to be a native of “Soulingen, near Cologne;” his birth-place accounts for his surname having sometimes been spelt Kerseboom, while his English refugee ancestry explains the spelling Causabon, which his grandfather had often to tolerate. Having convinced myself and my readers (I hope) of his ancestry, I now copy the essayists’ memoir of this accomplished painter.
“He was born at Solingen, a city of Germany, in the year 1623. At eighteen years of age he went to Amsterdam, to be instructed in the art of painting, but by whom is uncertain. From thence he removed to Paris in 1650, and worked some years under Monsieur Le Brun; but afterwards was sent to Italy by the Chancellor of France, and maintained there by that minister fourteen years, two whereof he spent with Nicholas Poussin, of whose manner he was so nice an imitator that some of his pieces have been taken for his. Thus qualified for History Painting he came to England; but not finding encouragement here in that way, he bent his studies towards portraits, wherein he was not unsuccessful either as to drawing or likeness. He was the first that brought over the manner of painting on glass (not with a print as the common way now is), in which he performed some histories and heads exceedingly well. Perspective he understood thoroughly, having been disciple to two excellent masters in that art. He spoke five languages admirably well, and was in short an accomplished painter. He died in London in the year 1690, and lies buried in St. Andrew’s, Holborn.”

II. Paul Delaune, M.D.
Dr. Paul Delaune was the youngest and apparently the favourite son of the old Pasteur William Delaune. He was MA. of the University of Cambridge in 1610. He studied medicine abroad, and became M.D. of the University of Padua on 13th October 1614, and was incorporated at Cambridge on 19th January 1616 (n.s.). He was admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 21st April 1618, and rose to be Senior Censor in 1643. Several years of his prime he spent in Ireland as physician to the Viceroy, and thus he never gained much ground as a practitioner in London. But as a medical lecturer he was eminent. He read in his turn the Anatomy Lecture at the College of Physicians. A vacancy occurred in the Chair of Physic in Gresham College in a singular manner in the year 1642. Professor Thomas Winston, M.D., foreseeing the triumph of the Parliamentary Party, and fearing (as it was thought) that he might have offended some of its leaders by repeating words which he had overheard, formally asked and obtained leave from the House of Lords to emigrate to France. He went away quietly without resigning his chair, which was after the lapse of six months declared to have become vacant. Partly through the interest of his relative, Mr. Thomas Chamberlan, Dr. Delaune was appointed to the professorship. As Professor of Physic he was a great success, and the college was highly satisfied. In 1652, however, Dr. Winston became homesick, and having satisfied Oliver Cromwell’s government that he never offended the parliament by any public action, he obtained leave to return to England, and obtained the restoration of his property, and along with it the Gresham professorship. Dr. Delaune in his old age (a septuagenarian) found himself destitute, and this through the action of one to whom he had been a true friend in time of trouble, and who through his ample fortune was in no need of a professor’s salary. Cromwell provided for Dr. Delaune in 1654, by appointing him Physician-General to the English Fleet. After that date all that is certainly known is that he sailed for the Pacific Ocean, and was present at the taking of Jamaica. The fleet returned without him; and the general belief was that either the West Indian climate or the yellow fever had occasioned his death in the month of December 1654. (See Munk’s Roll of the Royal College of Physicians, vol. i.)
