# Proclamation 5790

Delivered on 6 April 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
April 8, 1988, is the Centennial Anniversary of the birth of New Mexico's Dennis Chavez, the first native-born Hispanic elected to the United States Senate and for many years the highest-ranking Hispanic in the Federal government. All Americans join the people of the Land of Enchantment and Hispanic Americans throughout our country in saluting the memory of this public servant, who left school as a child to help support his family and went on to become a lawyer, State Representative, U.S. Representative, and U.S. Senator.
Without a high school education, Dennis Chavez served as an interpreter of Spanish during Senator A. A. Jones's successful Senatorial campaign and in 1918 became a Senate clerk. He passed a special entrance examination for Georgetown University Law School and returned to New Mexico to practice law after earning his law degree in 1920. He was a New Mexico State Representative in 1923-24. In 1930 he won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and in 1935 he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate. He won election in his own right the next year and was reelected four times; he died in office on November 18, 1962.
As a Senator, Dennis Chavez chaired the Committee on Public Works and served on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. He sought the well-being of every American and displayed lasting concern for those in need. Dennis Chavez truly exemplified the dedication of the public servant and won distinction in the service of New Mexico and of his Nation; to this day, his life and career symbolize the countless achievements of Hispanic Americans and demonstrate the opportunity America offers.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 206, has designated April 8, 1988, as "Dennis Chavez Day" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 8, 1988, as Dennis Chavez Day. I urge Government agencies and the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightyeight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Proclamation 5786

Delivered on 30 March 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Each year, up to 1.8 million Americans, most of them under age 30, suffer head injuries; and more than 50,000 survivors of such injuries will experience long-term physical and mental difficulties and often need extended care and rehabilitation in returning to productive lives. Advances in medical treatment now save the lives of many people with severe head injuries; improvements in long-term rehabilitation need to continue.
Run to Daylight, a nonprofit organization concerned with improving rehabilitation for survivors of head injuries, is sponsoring a 3,600-mile run across the United States this year-the "Run to Daylight." This event will begin in San Francisco on April 1 and end in Boston on June 30.
The "Run to Daylight" will remind Americans about the rehabilitation needs of survivors of head injuries and will help the National Head Injury Foundation, which is dedicated to improving life for survivors of head injuries and their families and to developing and supporting programs to prevent such injuries.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-268, has designated April 1, 1988, as "Run to Daylight Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 1, 1988, as Run to Daylight Day. I urge the people of the United States to learn more about head injuries; to foster appropriate efforts to discover more effective ways to prevent and treat head injuries and rehabilitate head injured persons; and to aid head injury victims and their families who suffer the severe physical, psychological, and financial burdens of such injuries.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Proclamation 5788

Delivered on 1 April 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
It is truly fitting that America observe April 9 in recognition of our former prisoners of war; that date is the 46th anniversary of the day in 1942 when U.S. forces holding out on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines were captured. Later, as prisoners of war, these gallant Americans were subjected to the infamous Bataan Death March and to other inhumane treatment that killed thousands of them before they could be liberated. In every conflict, brutality has invariably been meted out to American prisoners of war; on April 9 and every day, we must remember with solemn pride and gratitude that valor and tenacity have ever been our prisoners' response.
That is clear from the words of then-Captain Jeremiah Denton, USN, when he and other U.S. prisoners of war were freed in 1973 after years of captivity in North Vietnam. "We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under these difficult circumstances," Captain Denton said. Implacable and incredible courage, endurance, faith, and patriotism were behind those words-eloquent and immortal testimony to the spirit of America's Armed Forces in the Vietnam War and throughout our history.
The term "difficult circumstances" referred to nothing less than physical and mental torture, starvation, disease, separation from loved ones, and deprivation of medical treatment-an ordeal that for some, in every conflict, did not end until death. To their brave families we offer solace and salute. To our former prisoners of war who endured so much, we say that with your example and with God's help we will seek to meet the standards of devotion you have set; we will never forget your service or your sacrifice.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-269, has designated April 9, 1988, as "National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 9, 1988, as National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day, and I urge all Americans to observe this day of remembrance with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightyeight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Proclamation 5783

Delivered on 29 March 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
This April is a milestone in the history of civil rights. It marks the 20th anniversary of the passage of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, popularly called the "Fair Housing Act," which declared as a national policy that housing throughout our country be made available to all citizens on the basis of equality and fairness. The Act outlaws any discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of housing because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
The Fair Housing Act reflects Americans' willingness and determination to make sure that housing is available to all without discrimination. In the 2 decades since its passage, judicial and administrative enforcement and public and private efforts to induce voluntary compliance with the law have helped countless people obtain the housing they desire. America truly has succeeded in moving closer to the ideal of a society open to all.
Every American is entitled to freedom from discrimination in housing; the 20th anniversary of the Act is an appropriate time for all of us to reaffirm our dedication as a Nation to the principles of equal opportunity on which the Fair Housing Act is grounded.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-248, has designated April 1988 as "Fair Housing Month" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 1988 as Fair Housing Month.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

For more than a century, the members and friends of the Actors' Fund of America have served the entertainment world by helping show people to aid their own in time of need. This long tradition of concern and compassion for fellow workers truly touches the lives of thousands for the better, exemplifies and perpetuates America's volunteer spirit, and is worthy of every recognition.
The Actors' Fund assists, in addition to actors, true entertainment professionals who work in any capacity in ballet, circus, the legitimate stage, motion pictures, opera, radio, television, and variety. Its many services and benefits are designed to accommodate the unique needs of those in show business. In wartime and in peacetime, the members of the Actors' Fund have sought to foster the well-being of their fellow entertainers and of all their fellow countrymen. Their active and effective service remains a tribute to them and a blessing for countless people.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-195, has designated the month of April 1988 as "Actors Fund of America Appreciation Month" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 1988 as Actors' Fund of America Appreciation Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

# Proclamation 5785

Delivered on 30 March 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States-each year responsible for more than 1.5 million heart attacks, 500,000 of them immediately fatal. High blood cholesterol is one of the three controllable risk factors for coronary heart disease, along with high blood pressure and cigarette smoking.
More than a quarter of adult Americans have blood cholesterol levels that put them at a significantly increased risk of coronary heart disease. Most Americans are aware of their blood pressure levels, but less than half have had their cholesterol checked and less than 10 percent know their blood cholesterol level. Extensive studies have shown that elevated levels of blood cholesterol lead to early development of hardening of the arteries and coronary heart disease, and that the higher the cholesterol, the higher the risk. Now there is firm evidence that lowering high blood cholesterol reduces that risk.
The National Cholesterol Education Program, a joint program by the Federal government, medical groups, voluntary health organizations, industry, and State and local health agencies, has undertaken a campaign to educate professional, patient, and public audiences about the importance of lowering a high blood cholesterol level. The program urges all Americans to learn about the relationship among blood cholesterol, diet, and heart disease; to have their cholesterol level checked; and to know what their number means. The program's long-term goal is to reduce the death and disability from coronary heart disease that is attributable to elevated levels of blood cholesterol.
Each American should know his or her cholesterol level and should take measures to reduce too-high levels. The test is simple and quick; a sample of blood is obtained and the total blood cholesterol level is measured. A high level can be reduced, with diet as the primary approach and drug therapy if needed.
To make all Americans aware of the importance of monitoring their cholesterol, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 244, has designated April 1988 as "National Know Your Cholesterol Month" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1988 as National Know Your Cholesterol Month. I invite the American people to join with me in reaffirming our commitment to the resolution of the problem of high blood cholesterol. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Proclamation 5782

Delivered on 29 March 1988.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Education that emphasizes the ethical values and principles upon which America was founded, and upon which all civilization rests, remains as vital to our country today as ever in our past. History, reason, experience, and the desires of the human heart teach us that individuals and nations alike need, in addition to technical knowledge and skills, all the wisdom, guidance, and inspiration that ethical values provide. We ourselves possess these treasures only because our ancestors cherished and preserved them through the ages; we are dutybound to pass them along to our children, who need them and seek them just as much as we and members of every generation have needed them and sought them.
These truths are known and practiced now by more and more citizens and educators. One group that exemplifies this is Hasidic Judaism's worldwide Lubavitch movement, led by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. It is fitting that we salute his lasting achievements in education, as well as those of his late wife, the Rebbetzin Chaya Moussia Schneerson; of their many colleagues; and of everyone who fosters education that incorporates our prized heritage of ethical values.
In recognition of Rabbi Schneerson's dedication to our educational system, and in celebration of his 86th birthday, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 470, has designated March 29, 1988, as "Education Day, U.S.A." and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 29, 1988, as Education Day, U.S.A., and call upon the people of the United States, and in particular our teachers and other educational leaders, to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 25 - Mangin

Layout 2
​Mangin. — This surname belongs to the Crommelin connection. The great Crommelin and Captain Paul Mangin were married to sisters, daughters of Samuel Crommelin and Anne Testart, grand-daughters of Pierre Crommelin and Marie Desormeaux, great-grand-daughters of M. Crommelin and Marie de Semery de Camas. The great Crommelin had the same great-grand-parents, but his grand-parents were Jean Crommelin and Rachel Jacquelet, and his parents were Louis Crommelin, “le fleur de la maison,” and Marie Mettayer. Jeanne, Madame Mangin, having died, was succeeded by a second wife, née Anne Henriette d’Aulnis de la Lande. Harriette, daughter of Paul Mangin, was married to Samuel Louis Crommelin, junior (see chapter xx.). Captain Mangin spent his latter years in Dublin. I conjecture that the elegant author, Rev. Edward Mangin, M.A., descended from him. Edward Mangin’s work, which attracted most notice, was published in 1808, entitled “An Essay on Light Reading, as it may be supposed to influence moral conduct and literary taste;” a work of the same class, which he published in 1814, was “A View of the Pleasures arising from the Love of Books.” He edited Richardson’s works, in nineteen volumes, and published some translations from the French, such as “The Life of Malesherbes” (1805-1814), and “The Life of Jean Bart” (1828) — the latter is dedicated to his brother, Captain Reuben Caillaud Mangin, Royal Navy.

​Fraigneau. — Andrew and John Fraigneau were French Protestants naturalized at Westminster on 5th January 1688, n.s. (see List xiv.). Mr. Wagner, with characteristic ability, has tracked them to their shops and houses in London. Jean Fraigneau, confiseur en Pall-Mall, married Madeleine Liege, and had a family of daughters. André Fraigneau, chapelier dans Rupert-street, married Catherine Billon, and had several sons, one of whom, Jean Fraigneau, was baptized in Hungerford French Church, on 10th November 1690. This infant, John Fraigneau, lived and ​married, and had a son, William, who was in 1731, being of the age of fourteen, admitted a pupil of Westminster School. William Fraigneau was elected from Westminster to the University of Cambridge in 1736. “William, son of John Fraigneau of London, aged nineteen, pupil of Westminster Public School under Dr. Nichols, was admitted a pensioner of Trinity College, 24th June 1736, Mr. Holme, tutor.” He became B.A. in 1739, M.A. in 1743, and a Fellow of Trinity College. The Cambridge Professor of Greek, Walter Taylor, M.A., died on 25th February 1744, and Mr. Fraigneau succeeded to his chair. Cole, the University Chronicler, describes Professor Fraigneau as “a little man of great life and vivacity,” and we may therefore conclude that he was not undistinguished during the six years of his professorship, although disinclined to settle. In 1750 he resigned his chair, and left Cambridge to become tutor to Frederick, third Viscount St. John, who, in 1751, became second Viscount Bolingbroke. By that nobleman he was made Vicar of Battersea in 1758, and he became also the Rector of Beckenham in 1765. He died at Brighton (then called Brighthelmstone) on 12th September 1778, where there is a tablet to his memory:—
H. S. E. Reverendus Gulielmus Fraigneau, A.M. olim Coll. S.S. Trin. Socius et Linguae Graecae professor in Academiâ Cantabrigiensi nuper Rector de Beckenham in com. Cantii et Vicarius de Battersea in com. Surriae.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 25 - Gosset

Layout 2
​Gosset. — Isaac Gosset, Esq., died at Kensington, 28th November 1799, having nearly completed his eighty eighth year; he was the younger son of Isaac Gosset, of Jersey (See chapter xx.). He invented a composition of wax in which he modelled portraits in the most exquisite manner. His works were numerous, and included the royal family, and many of the nobility and gentry from the times of George II. down to 1780. In the line of his art he may be said to have been unique, as the inventor of the inimitable materials with which he worked, the secret of which was confided only to his son, the learned and Rev. Dr. Isaac Gosset.
Rev. Isaac Gosset, D.D., F.R.S., died in Newman Street, London, 16th December 1812, in his sixty-eighth year. As a learned man in many departments of literature besides Biblical Criticism, and also as a book-collector, he was well known. He was an eminent preacher, though incapacitated by the feebleness of his frame from much or frequent personal exertion. In his happier hours of social intercourse the disadvantages of his person disappeared in the graces of his conversation, which was sometimes serious and argumentative, sometimes playful and humorous. Buoyancy of spirits, joined to literary enthusiasm, operated as a sustaining principle against various bodily afflictions; and it never deserted him. He experienced no mental decay, but died in the full vigour of his intellectual faculties.
