# Proclamation 6833

Delivered on 6 October 1995.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
All who have welcomed a child to the world can appreciate the sentiments of Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote, "We find a delight in the beauty and happiness of children, that makes the heart too big for the body." Worthy of our deepest love and this Nation's most profound concern, children represent our dearest hopes for the future. We must ensure that they receive the care, protection, and guidance each child so richly deserves.
Millions of American children are fortunate to grow up in stable, affectionate families where they enjoy loving support. Yet far too many children lack this essential foundation, and countless young people suffer the terrible effects of hunger, poverty, neglect, and abuse. Today's families are plagued with problems that hinder their ability to tend to their children's well-being. Drug and alcohol addiction, physical and emotional violence, stress, and economic hardship all take a devastating toll.
Every one of us must take responsibility for reversing these alarming trends and for ensuring that all of our children have the opportunity to become vital, productive citizens. By getting involved now, we can reinforce the efforts of schools, churches, communities, and neighborhood organizations to strengthen families and to provide security and structure in our children's lives. Remembering that today's children will be tomorrow's leaders, educators, and parents, let us help them to look forward with hope and enthusiasm for the future.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 8, 1995, as National Children's Day. I urge the American people to express their love and appreciation for children on this day and on every day throughout the year. I invite Federal officials, local governments, communities, and particularly all American families to join together in observing this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities that honor our Nation's children.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twentieth.
William J. Clinton

# Proclamation 6830

Delivered on 4 October 1995.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Although we tend to focus on energy issues only in times of crisis, Americans should not underestimate the daily impact of a clean, safe, affordable energy supply on maintaining our standard of living, protecting the environment, and ensuring our national defense. In the past 3 decades alone, disruptions in global oil markets and dramatic price shocks have caused international strife and economic recession. Energy choices affect air and water pollution; nuclear, toxic, and other waste disposal present potential hazards; and energy use can influence our precious wilderness and natural ecosystems.
As we observe Energy Awareness Month, 1995, this year's theme, "Energy Fuels Our Future," is a powerful reminder of the need to build a strong foundation of sustainable energy policies that will benefit the generations to come. We can be proud of the United States' efforts toward this end. In every critical sector of society-commercial and residential development, transportation, industry, utility management, and government-we have improved efficiency and reduced the environmental impact of energy production and consumption.
Our challenge today is to continue this work, and my Administration remains committed to the responsible use of existing resources and the progress of innovative technology. We have many objectives-enhancing the competitiveness of our Nation's oil producers, expanding the role of domestically produced natural gas, encouraging the development of renewable energy resources, minimizing the environmental impact of coal use, and supervising the safe contribution of nuclear energy. As we seek to strengthen our economy and ease the burden of energy use on the global environment, let us work together toward these vital goals.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 1995 as "Energy Awareness Month." I call upon government officials, educators, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate activities recognizing the central importance of energy use in our lives and to the future of our world.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twentieth.
William J. Clinton

# Questions and Answers (Blackwood)

The Merry-Go-Round, Vol IV No 5 Mar1927
No one quite tells me what I want to know;
 They answer me⁠—and that’s the end of that.
 For if I ask, “What makes a flower grow?”
 Their answer wouldn’t satisfy the cat!
 If I say: “Daddy, why should snow be white
 And fall in crystals, no one like the other?”
 He mumbles gruffly, while he strikes a light:
 “I’m busy, Tommy. Run and ask your Mother!”
 But Mother, when I ask why cuckoos cuck,
 Just stares at me and says: “God made them so,”
 And gives me such a wise and solemn look,
 Which means, of course, she really doesn’t know.
 And Nannie’s way is diff’rent altogether,
 For if I ask why winter days get colder,
 She gives a grunt and says: “Oh, it’s just weather.
 You’ll understand all that when you grow older!”

# Questions and Answers (Holmes)

Where, oh where are the visions of morning,  Fresh as the dews of our prime? Gone, like tenants that quit without warning,  Down the back entry of time.
Where, oh where are life's lilies and roses,  Nursed in the golden dawn's smile? Dead as the bulrushes round little Moses,  On the old banks of the Nile.
Where are the Marys, and Anns, and Elizas,  Loving and lovely of yore? Look in the columns of old Advertisers,—  Married and dead by the score.
Where the gray colts and the ten-year-old fillies,  Saturday's triumph and joy? Gone, like our friend πόὂας ὠκὺς Achilles,  Homer's ferocious old boy.
Die-away dreams of ecstatic emotion,  Hopes like young eagles at play, Vows of unheard-of and endless devotion,  How ye have faded away!
Yet, though the ebbing of Time's might river  Leave our young blossoms to die, Let him roll smooth in his current forever,  Til the last pebble is dry.

# Red Shadows/Chapter 1

First published in Weird Tales in August 1928; The story's alternative title is Solomon Kane
The moonlight shimmered hazily, making silvery mists of illusion among the shadowy trees. A faint breeze whispered down the valley, bearing a shadow that was not of the moon-mist. A faint scent of smoke was apparent.
The man whose long, swinging strides, unhurried yet unswerving, had carried him for many a mile since sunrise, stopped suddenly. A movement in the trees had caught his attention, and he moved silently toward the shadows, a hand resting lightly on the hilt of his long, slim rapier.
Warily he advanced, his eyes striving to pierce the darkness that brooded under the trees. This was a wild and menacing country; death might be lurking under those trees. Then his hand fell away from the hilt and he leaned forward. Death indeed was there, but not in such shape as might cause him fear.
"The fires of Hades!" he murmured. "A girl! What has harmed you, child? Be not afraid of me."
The girl looked up at him, her face like a dim white rose in the dark.
"You--who are--you?" her words came in gasps.
"Naught but a wanderer, a landless man, but a friend to all in need." The gentle voice sounded somehow incongruous, coming from the man.
The girl sought to prop herself up on her elbow, and instantly he knelt and raised her to a sitting position, her head resting against his shoulder. His hand touched her breast and came away red and wet.
"Tell me." His voice was soft, soothing, as one speaks to a babe.
"Le Loup," she gasped, her voice swiftly growing weaker. "He and his men--descended upon our village--a mile up the valley. They robbed--slew--burned--"
"That, then, was the smoke I scented," muttered the man. "Go on, child."
"I ran. He, the Wolf, pursued me--and--caught me--" The words died away in a shuddering silence.
"I understand, child. Then--?"
"Then--he--he--stabbed me--with his dagger--oh, blessed saints!--mercy--"
Suddenly the slim form went limp. The man eased her to the earth, and touched her brow lightly.
"Dead!" he muttered.
Slowly he rose, mechanically wiping his hands upon his cloak. A dark scowl had settled on his somber brow. Yet he made no wild, reckless vow, swore no oath by saints or devils.
"Men shall die for this," he said coldly.

Extracted from Vogue magazine, June 1893, p. 362. Richard Stillman Powell was Barbour's first, and probably only, pseudonym.
RED ROSES
I gave you roses red, and you, You thanked me in a true friend’s way. And smiling, let their petals lay Against your breast—you never knew!
I gave you roses red, and you, When they were withered, let them go To all the cruel winds that blow: You thought them dead—you never knew!
I gave you roses red, and you, You thought them proffered by a friend, And wore them once; that was the end; They cost me twelve! You never knew!

# Punch/Volume 147/Issue 3829/The Immortal Legend

THE IMMORTAL LEGEND.
In the House of Commons on November 18, Mr. King asked the Under-Secretary for War whether he could state, without injury to the military interests of the Allies, whether any Russian troops had been conveyed through Great Britain to the Western area of the European War.
Mr. Tennant's reply:—"I am uncertain whether it will gratify or displease my hon. friend to know that no Russian troops have been conveyed through Great Britain to the Western area of the European War."
The firm and faithful believers in this beautiful tale are not to be put off so easily as that, and there are so many thousands of faces to be saved, and such numbers of ear- (if not eye-) witnesses of the undying exploit, that we really must see if there is not after all some loophole in the official pronouncement. Let us pause for further scrutiny and meditations.
Why, of course, here it is. The Under-Secretary merely states his imperfect knowledge of the bias of Mr. King. He does not know whether his questioner is one of the ardent souls who are ready to pass along and adorn the latest legend from the Clubs, or a cold-blooded sceptic fit only to be a Censor.
No, we are not to be done out of our Russians by any mere Under-Secretary for War; certainly not one who is capable of such prevarication. And anyhow, why should the Germans do all the story-telling?

# Punch/Volume 147/Issue 3829/The Wild and Wooly West End

THE WILD AND WOOLLY WEST END.
   "A Protest.—Is there any reason why the War should be made an excuse for the abandonment of the niceties of life? Dining at a West-End restaurant nowadays one might well imagine oneself in America, from the variety and incongruity of the dress of the male patrons."—Advt. in "The Times."
We fear that the protest is only too well justified. Indeed, much more might be revealed were it not for the heavy hand of the C———r. Our special representative reports:—
To the O.C., Punch Battalion, Bouverie Brigade, Fleet Division, E.C., of London Reserves.
A City on the river T———s.
Nov. the —teenth.
Carrying out your order No. 69A, I made a night reconnaissance in force. I have the honour to report that at dinner at a certain hotel two hundred yards east by north of railway base C———g X, I counted only five-boiled shirts. Have reason to suspect that ​they were subsidised by the management, and were worn by Stock Exchange members thrown out of employment by the War and endeavouring to supplement their private incomes.
The rest of the male costumes were mainly khaki. One man entered dining-room with Buffalo Bill hat decorated with maple-leaf and A.M.S. (Athabasca Mounted Scalpers), which he deposited on chair next to him. The only nut present endeavoured to remove this object. The A.M.S. man touched his hip-pocket significantly, and said: "The drinks are on you."
At the table next to him was a group of South American magnates in tweed suits decorated with large buttons reading: "No me habla de la guerra!" If the man from Athabasca should start conversation with them about the war, it seemed probable that gun-fighting would ensue. I therefore enfiladed the position and took cover. However, the sergeant-waiter tactfully shifted a palm into screening position between the two tables, and thus averted the spreading of the War to Latin America.
Similar state of affairs existed in stalls of certain theatre within outpost distance of P———y C———s. Ladies were openly knitting socks and intimate woollen garments between the Acts. Management seemed powerless to restore the conventions of peace-time.
At the C———n Tavern the bar-tender had pasted notice on mirror behind him: "This Saloon closes at ten sharp. Gents are kindly requested not to start nothing here." The announcement seemed to have been effective, for very few bullet-marks were to be noted.
By midnight, L———r S———e and R———t S———t were comparatively clear of dagos. This was due to efforts of street-cleaning corps (3rd County of L———n Light Hose).
