# Proclamation 4686

Delivered on 14 September 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Diabetes mellitus affects the lives of 10 million Americans. Each year, 35,000 Americans die from this disease, and many times that number fall victim to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blood vessel disease and blindness related to diabetes. Diabetes now costs the country more than $6 billion annually in health care expenses, disability payments and lost wages.
A major national effort is underway among Federal agencies, State and local governments, academic institutions and voluntary health organizations to combat diabetes and its complications, which so often compromise the quality of life of its victims. There is optimism in the scientific community that research is leading to greater understanding and improved methods of treatment for diabetes and its complications. We must continue to focus attention on the needs of the many victims of diabetes in the United States if we are ever to reduce the impact of this disease as a source of human suffering in our Nation.
The Congress, by Joint Resolution enacted August 13, 1979 (Public Law 9651), has authorized and requested the President to designate the week of October 8 through October 14, 1979, as National Diabetes Week.
Now THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 8 through October 14, 1979, as National Diabetes Week.
I call upon public and private agencies and organizations to recognize and observe it appropriately. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my band this fourteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Proclamation 4680

Delivered on 10 September 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Lupus erythematosus is an increasingly serious connective tissue disease, affecting 500 thousand Americans, mostly young women. There are an estimated 50,000 new victims each year stricken by this disease.
In the systemic form, lupus attacks the entire body and its diverse organ systems, destroying connective tissue in the kidney, heart, and other vital organs. A major feature of the disease is redness of the skin, particularly the appearance of a butterfly-like rash that is often sensitive to light. Additional manifestations of lupus include fever, arthritis, pleurisy, pneumonia, blood abnormalities, heart disease, and central nervous system dysfunction. As its name suggests, this "lupine" disease ravishes the total body in a relentless clinical course and frequently costs its victims their lives in early adulthood.
Although the cause of lupus is not known, the prognosis for patients has vastly improved in recent years. In 1955 the survival rate for lupus victims was 50 percent four years after diagnosis. Now, more than 80 percent of lupus patients are treated successfully during the ten years after their disease has been identified. This increased survival is due to a number of factors including greater awareness of the disease, better diagnostic methods, and development of more effective drug therapies.
The outlook is far from bleak, but greater awareness of the disease and new approaches for improved treatment and diagnosis are needed in order to eliminate lupus as a cause of human suffering and to improve the quality of life in our society for its victims.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of September 16 through September 22, 1979 as National Lupus Week. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.
I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical, and health care organizations and professions to provide the necessary assistance and resources to discover the cause and cure of lupus erythematosus and to alleviate the suffering of all persons struck by this disorder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

A Proclamation
For over 50 years, this Nation has observed Child Health Day. By setting aside this special day each year, we reaffirm our commitment to the improvement of the health of our children. Excellence is the only standard that is acceptable in our efforts to promote good health, prevent disease and disability, and improve conditions that interfere with the ability of each child to reach his or her potential.
In this International Year of the Child, we have accelerated our assault on infant mortality, childhood accidents, acute and chronic diseases and handicapping conditions. I am determined to assure that children receive the expert care they need and to which they are entitled. My goal continues to be excellence in providing for the health needs of our children.
Now, Therefore, I, Jimmy Carter, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 1, 1979, as Child Health Day.
I ask that you join me as we pledge our continuing attainment in the pursuit of excellence of health care for our Nation's children.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Proclamation 4685

Delivered on 13 September 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The past decade has been marked by significant advances for handicapped people.
Such laws as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protect many handicapped individuals from discrimination in employment and services. Handicapped workers have made great progress in entering the job market, and those already in the labor force are moving up to better jobs. More of our Nation's buildings and public transportation systems are being made accessible. Many handicapped individuals have been moving out of institutions into homes, apartments, and community facilities which facilitate independent living. As handicapped individuals move into the mainstream of society, more and more of their fellow citizens are overcoming their prejudices and seeing handicapped individuals as people.
Yet much remains to be done. Many qualified handicapped people, including many disabled veterans, are unemployed or underemployed, and others are not promoted because of discriminatory attitudes rather than an inability to perform. Many buildings still have thoughtless architectural barriers that prevent handicapped persons from getting jobs and education. Public transportation is still not available to all handicapped individuals.
This country needs the creativity, skill and participation of all our citizens. To affirm our commitment to equality for the handicapped members of our society, the Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155), has called for the designation of the first full week in October each year as National Employ the Handicapped Week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning on October 7, 1979, as National Employ the Handicapped Week. I urge all Governors, Mayors, other public officials, leaders in business and labor, and private citizens at all levels of responsibility to help remove all barriers which prevent handicapped individuals from obtaining productive employment and from participating fully in other aspects of American life.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here-unto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Proclamation 4677

Delivered on 29 August 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
From time immemorial, explorers have sought new frontiers to explore and new worlds to conquer. Their insatiable curiosity, their willingness to face new challenges remain inspirations to the modern world.
Few people can surpass the courage and accomplishments of Leif Erikson, a remarkable representative of a remarkable people. His voyage west to uncharted waters epitomized the virtues of bravery, skill and imagination.
In honoring this great Norseman, we honor the representative of a people whose respect for law and whose early devotion to representative government mirrors our own commitments. We honor, too, Americans of Scandinavian descent, who have made such notable contributions to the development of the United States.
To express our respect for the accomplishments of Leif Erikson and his followers, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849, 36 U.S.C. 169) designated October 9 in each year as Leif Erikson Day.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, October 9, 1979, as Leif Erikson Day, and I direct the appropriate government officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings that day.
I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate ceremonies in suitable places throughout the land.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Proclamation 4679

Delivered on 6 September 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
As we seek to strengthen the enduring values of the family, it is appropriate that we honor our grandparents.
Grandparents are our continuing tie to the near-past, to the events and beliefs and experiences that so strongly affect our lives and the world around us. Whether they are our own or surrogate grandparents who fill some of the gaps in our mobile society, our senior generation also provides our society a link to our national heritage and traditions.
We all know grandparents whose values transcend passing fads and pressures, and who possess the wisdom of distilled pain and joy. Because they are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.
The Congress, by joint resolution (H.J. Res. 244), has authorized and requested the President to designate the first Sunday of September following Labor Day of each year as National Grandparents Day.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Sunday, September 9, 1979 and the first Sunday following Labor Day in each succeeding year as "National Grandparents Day."
I urge officials of Government at the national, State, and local levels, and of voluntary organizations to plan appropriate activities that recognize the importance and the worth of the 17 million grandparents in our nation. I urge all Americans to take the time to honor their own grandparents or those in their community.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Proclamation 4682

Delivered on 11 September 1979.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The millions of hunting and fishing licenses issued each year reflect a widespread appreciation of the healthy recreation, peaceful solitude and closeness to nature these pursuits offer.
America's hunters and fishermen have long been leaders in the conservation movement. They understand the importance of clean air, good water and adequate habitat for wildlife. They support those goals through the purchase of licenses and the payment of taxes on hunting and fishing equipment. They and the organizations that represent them are also effective leaders in the promotion of firearm and boating safety.
It is appropriate that we recognize all of these contributions by the observance of a National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, September 22, 1979, and the fourth Saturday of September in each succeeding year, as National Hunting and Fishing Day.
I urge all of our citizens to join with outdoor sportsmen in the wise use and management of our natural resources.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 24 - Dejean

Layout 2
​Dejean. — In 1737 Major Dejean was a subscriber for five copies of Laval’s “History of the French Protestant Church.” He stood in the French Chapel Royal of London, on 15th November 1739, as sponsor to Louis Duval; he was then registered as Major Louis Dejan of the second troop of grenadiers. On the 2nd July 1740 he was made a Director of the French Hospital; he was at that date Lieutenant-Colonel Louis (or Lewis) Dejean of the 1st or Grenadier Guards. In March 1744 several Swiss, in and about London and Westminster, offered to form a regiment to serve his Majesty in case of invasion. Their offer was at once accepted, and their uniform, “grey turned up with red,” was ordered. In April they were mustered to the number of 200, under the command of Colonel Dejean. The regiment of Switzers was summoned on 6th September 1745 to attend their Colonel, who, however, on 15th April 1746, obtained the Colonelcy of the 37th Foot, vacant by the death of Sir Robert Munro at the Battle of Falkirk. He became Colonel of the 14th Light Dragoons, on November 27, 1752, and was promoted to the rank of Major-General, 29th January 1756, and of Lieutenant-General, 29th March 1759. On April 7, 1757, he had been transferred to the Carabineers, or 3rd Regiment of Horse, after styled the 6th Dragoon Guards. Lieutenant-General Dejean died in Dublin, 29th September 1764.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 24 - Du Ry

Layout 2
​Du Ry. — The Huguenot family of du Ry had extensive property in Picardy, and also the Chateau of Beauregard near Paris, all which estates were confiscated in 1685 when they became refugees in England. In their adopted country they have usually been soldiers. The first whom we meet is Lieutenant Du Ry, an officer in an English regiment quartered in Scotland in 1698; in that year, when the five Huguenot regiments were disbanded, French refugee officers quartered in Scotland were put upon half-pay. In the next generation there was Colonel Alexander Dury, commanding the Grenadier Guards; he rose to be a Major-General on 2nd February 1757, but did not enjoy his honour long. At this period Great Britain was waging a singular warfare with France; the fleet commanded by Lord Howe landed troops on the French coast to do what damage they could, then sailed along and re-embarked the army at a more distant point. The army, commanded by Lieutenant-General Bligh, was landed in the Bay of St. Lunaire in the beginning of September 1758, while the ships departed and waited for them at the Bay of St. Cas. ​Towards that rendezvous General Bligh marched on September 8th; he had some skirmishing with French troops on the 9th, but under-rated their numbers. The next morning the French watched our army, which amounted to 6000 men, in the process of re-embarkation, until the rear-guard, numbering 1500, under the command of Major-General Dury, was alone on the shore. These the French attacked, and easily overpowered them, although they made a brave resistance. Dury was shot, and thus died in action on 10th September 1758.
The lamented General was survived by a younger brother, Colonel Theodore Dury, who became a Major-General on 23rd February 1761, and was promoted to be Lieutenant-General on 30th April 1770 along with John Henry Bastide and other Major-Generals. His name is affectionately remembered in the family, but he seems to have left no heirs. Alexander left a son Alexander, an officer in the Grenadier Guards from boyhood; he served in Holland and became Lieutenant-Colonel. He also had a son Alexander, a captain in the Royal Artillery, and another son Francis of the 19th Foot, who was killed in charge of the regimental colours in the American War. Captain Dury, R.A., is the direct ancestor of the present family. His eldest son was Alexander Dury of the 67th Foot, born in April 1820, died in 1843. The younger son (now deceased) was Theodore Henry Dury, Esq., of Bonsai Leys, Derbyshire, formerly of the Madras Army, afterwards of the ioth Hussars, born 3rd October 1822; he had several sons. The eldest, Major Alexander William Dury, born in 1846, late of the 4th King’s Own and 54th Regiments, is temporarily invalided. The youngest, Lieutenant Robert Ashton Theodore Dury, born in 1863, of the Bombay Staff Corps, was killed at the capture of Minhla in Burmah on 17th November 1885; he was the only officer killed, and was at the head of his soldiers.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 24 - Layard

Layout 2
​ ​Layard. — Many descendants of the good refugees have served in the army. I have already mentioned (see chapter xv.) his grandsons, brothers of the Dean of Bristol, Lieut.-General Anthony Lewis Layard, and Lieut- General John Thomas Layard. The Dean’s eldest son, founder of the first branch of the Layard family, Rev. Brownlow Villiers Layard, served in his youth as a lieutenant in the 7th Fusiliers; two of his sons were Lieutenant-Colonels, as is his grandson and principal representative; three other sons were in the army, viz., Lieut. George Henry Layard of the 89th Foot (born 1806, died 1848), Captain John Beville Layard of the 22nd Madras Native Infantry (born 1809, died 1846), and Lieut. Augustus Villiers Layard of the 23rd Madras Native Infantry, who died in 1848.
As to the second branch, represented by Sir Henry Austen Layard, I have already named Lieut.-General Frederic Peter Layard, born 6th May 1818; he was of the Bengal Staff Corps, having entered the army on 11th November 1838, and became a Lieut.-General on 7th September 1884; his son Julian Henry Layard, an officer of the 37th Foot, died near the Shipka Pass during the Russo-Turkish War on 24th September 1877; another son is Lieut. Arthur Austen MacGregor Layard of the Royal Engineers. General Layard had a brother, Captain Arthur John Layard of the 38th Foot. Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General of the Second Division in the Crimea, who died at Balaclava on 7th August 1855, aged thirty-six.
As to the third branch, Sir Charles Peter Layard has two brothers in the army, viz., Captain Brownlow Edward Layard of the Ceylon Rifles, born 15th April 1810; and General William Twistleton Layard, born 4th August 1813; he entered the army on 22nd February 1833; he earned a medal for services in Burmah, and commanded the troops in the Kornegalle district of Ceylon in the year 1848; he was in active service as a Colonel in i860; his son Colonel Charles Edmund Layard, born 18th September 1838, is Lieut.-Colonel in command of a battalion of the East Yorkshire regiment, and became a Colonel in the army in 1885.

Chapter XXIV.
OFFSPRING OF THE REFUGEES IN THE ARMY AND NAVY.
Duroure. — The ancient family of Beauvoir in Languedoc had several branches, of one of which the chief, in the first half of the sixteenth century, was Claud de Grimoard de Beauvoir Du Roure, Seigneur de Grisac, de Bane et de Saint-Florent. His eldest son, Jacques, was the first Protestant Du Roure. Jean Du Roure, who in 1620 represented Vivarais in the National Synod of Alais, was the eldest son of Jacques. From Jean sprang Scipion Du Roure, founder of a branch of the family in Provence, who married Mademoiselle De Dangers in 1650. The eldest son of this worthy couple was the refugee Francois Du Roure, who was captain in a regiment of cavalry in the British service, quartered in Ireland in July 1706. He died at Southampton on 26th March 1722, aged sixty-two. His wife was Catherine de Rieutort, who died in 1731; by her he had two sons, Scipio and Alexander, officers in the British army, who made the surname Duroure.
In 1736, under General Wade, Commander-in-chief of the Forces in North Britain, we find Brigadier Charles Dubourgay, and Major Scipio Duroure, the Major of Brigade with ten shillings a-day. He became Lieutenant-Colonel of the 12th Foot, and he obtained the Colonelcy of this regiment, 12th August 1741. Colonel Duroure went with his regiment to Flanders, the hero Wolfe being one of his subalterns, and the corps got great glory at Dettingen. Scipio Duroure’s career of valour and of great promise was cut short by his meeting a soldier’s death at the Battle of Fontenoy, 10th May 1745. He had married in 1713 his cousin, Marguerite, daughter of Charles de Vignolles, a French officer in Ireland, by Marthe de Beauvoir Du Roure. The Colonel was buried on the ramparts of Aeth; he was fifty-six years of age.
Alexander Du Roure was born in 1700; we first meet him as Lieutenant-Colonel of the 4th Foot. In November 1748 he married Louisa Brushell of Hammersmith. He rose in the army to be Colonel of the 38th Foot (27th February 1752), and was transferred to the 4th or King’s Own Regiment of Foot, 12th May 1756. He was promoted to be Major-General, January 24th, 1758, and Lieutenant-General, 16th December 1760. He died in 1765 at Toulouse, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where a monument was erected to the two gallant brothers by Colonel Scipio Duroure’s eldest son, Francis Duroure of Kensington, born 13th June 1715, died 16th February 1808.
