Guillemard.
This was a Huguenot family from Bolbec in Normandy. There was in 1711 Marie Guillemard, wife of Jaques Beuzeville of Bolbec, a refugee in England. The refugee family was founded by Jean Guillemard and Magdalene Leplay, his wife, daughter and co-heir of Isaac Leplay. He is said to have been brought to England as an infant, and in his Will, dated at his residence within the Liberty of the Tower of London, 14th April 1779, he leaves £100 towards the building of a Protestant Church of Bolbec, “if the Protestant subjects, residing in Bollebec in Upper Normandy, obtain leave to erect and build a church before or by the expiration of 1780.” His Will was proved on 11th March 1782, when his sons, John, Isaac, and James, were his executors. The latter died in 1826, aged seventy-eight.
The eldest son was Jean, or John Guillemard, of Spitalfields and Tottenham High Cross, silk-weaver, baptized in Threadneedle Street on 5th November 1729. died in February 1793. His wife was Francoise Pilon, daughter of Daniel Pilon and Jeanne Bourdon, his wife. Their son was an eminent man, John Guillemard, M.A. Oxon, F.R.S., baptized at St. Jean’s French Church, 4th September 1764 (born 31st August), died 22nd November 1844; he was (about 1800) a Commissioner for settling disputed points between Great Britain and America. The daughter of Jean and Francoise, Jeanne, baptized at St. Jean’s 21st September 1765, wife of John Griffin, deserves celebrity as the mother of Jane Griffin, Lady Franklin (born 1791 , died 1875), widow of Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer.
The second surviving son of the refugee was Isaac Guillemard, of Spitalfields and Waltham Cross, silk-weaver, baptized in Threadneedle Street, 22nd March 1744. (There was a second son, Peter, born 1731, died 1764, unmarried). Isaac married in 1770 Anne Le Maitre, only surviving child of Daniel Le Maitre and Magdalen Paroissien, and died on 22nd December 1816. He had two sons, Peter and Daniel. Peter (born 1771, died 1828) was the father of Rev. Henry Peter Guillemard, Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and Rector of Barton-on-the-Heath (who died without descendants in 1857, in his forty-fifth year). Daniel (born 1772, died 1822,) was the father of (1) Rev. James Guillemard, M.A. Oxon, and Fellow of St. John’s, Vicar of Kirtlington, born 1807, died 1858; (2) Isaac Guillemard, M.D., of Eltham, born 1812, died 1852; (3) Rev. William Henry Guillemard, D.D. Cantab., born 23rd November 1815, late Fellow of Pembroke College, who was from 1848 to 1869 Head-Master of the Royal School of Armagh, and is now Vicar of St. Mary-the-Less, Cambridge, Author of “Greek Testament, Hebraistic Edition, exhibiting and illustrating (1) The Hebraisms in the Sacred Text; (2) The influence of the Septuagint on its characters and construction; (3) The deviations in it from pure Greek style. St. Matthew.” (Cambridge, 1875).

Durand.
The family of Durand, in the island of Guernsey, bear the arms of Brueyx in addition to Durand, on account of their descent from a gallant and reverend refugee who married a Brueyx heiress. Francois Guillaume Durand, son of Jean Durand, a Protestant gentleman of Montpellier, was born nth Sept. 1649. Having studied at Geneva, he became pasteur of Genouillac about 1673. In 1689 he married the heiress of Baron Brueyx de Fontcouverte, a nobleman of the diocese of Usez. At the date of the Revocation he had became a refugee at Schaffhausen, his family remaining in France. His zeal for religious liberty led him to join the army of the allies in Piedmont, and in 1691 he was appointed chaplain of Aubussargues’ regiment, under the name of Monsieur Durand de Fontcouverte. He had previously been successful in recruiting the regiments of Loches and Balthasar [Balthazar?], and had even accepted a commission as captain in Balthazar’s Dragoons, but he returned to his spiritual office by the advice of the pasteurs of Geneva. After the peace of Ryswick he settled at Nimeguen. His son, Francois, appears at Nimeguen in 1722. Francois Durand was educated a Romanist; in 1700 he began to practise as an advocate at Montpellier, and in 1701 he married Marguerite d’Audifut. In July 1705 he obtained a passport without difficulty; but in Holland he adopted the religion of his ancestors. He was living in 1750, aged probably about sixty-six. He had a son, Francois Guillaume Esaie Durand, who was admitted as a Proposant in May 1738 by the Synod of Breda, but settled in England in 1743 as minister of the Dutch Church at Norwich. He ​married Marthe Marie Goutelles. Leaving Norwich he became pasteur of the French Church in Canterbury, besides holding the living of the united parishes of St. Sampson and the Vale in Guernsey; he died in 1789. His son was Rev. Daniel Francis Durand, rector of St. Peter Port and Dean of Guernsey, born 1745, died 1832. (See the Guernsey Magazine for 1873.)

Gaches.
Refugees of this surname settled in England, presumably of the same family as Raimond Gaches, pasteur of Charenton, in 1660. Among those naturalised at Westminster on 21st November 1682, there was Raymond Gaches, not described as a cleric (see List vii.). But two clerics were naturalised on 10th October 1688, namely, Henry and John-James (see List xvi.). The latter became a gentleman of the chapel royal (aliàs a royal chaplain) in the same year. In the old Cheque-book of the Chapel-Royal he is entered, apparently, as the successor of Mr Du Charol, aliàs Sharoll:—
“1688. Mr John James Gaches [was] sworn Gentleman of his Maties. Chappell Royal ordinary, Nov. 8, 1688.”
The entry of his death has not been preserved. Probably we should recognise a descendant of the refugees in Rev. Daniel Gaches, M.A., formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Vicar of Wotton (or Wootton Wawen), and Justice of the Peace [Irenarcha] for Warwickshire, born 10th March 1733, died 10th September 1805, in whose memory Dr Samuel Parr wrote the following eptitaph:—

Hubert.
Among singularities of refugee experience, the refugee life of Monsieur Hubert and his daughter should be mentioned. This gentleman, a near relation of the noble ​family of Roumieu, was a large proprietor in the French colonies, and had in his earlier days suffered losses at the hands of English ships-of-war and privateers, who had seized on vessels conveying his cargoes to France. He was also a devoted subject of France. The consequence was that, though as a Huguenot he found in England a refuge for life, an eternal antipathy overpowered all his gratitude. He would not lend money to an Englishman or invest his capital in the English funds. Fortunately the capital which he had secured, though only a part of his rightful fortune, was very large. He went on to the last day of his life spending his capital, the residue of which, along with his antipathies, he bequeathed to Marie Hubert, his only child. At her death only a few hundred pounds remained; it is said that she was nearly a hundred years old.

Layout 2
De Gastine.
De Gastine was a territorial title, the family surname being Hullin. Matthew Hullin, Sieur de Gastine, was a refugee in England; a brother, also a refugee, was the Sieur d’Orval, and styled in England Anthony Hullin D’Orval, Esq. On the 20th December 1714, Matthew Hullen de Gastine, Esq., of Sunbury (Middlesex), died; he had married, first, Mary Huguetan, and, secondly, Mary Anna Le Cordier. His only son, James Mark Hullin (born 1701), was the issue of the first marriage; he inherited £3666, 7s. 9d. The only daughter, named Susanna, was his child by his second wife.
One of the clan, Major De Gastine, was a refugee in Holland, and his daughter, Marianne, was married in 1728 to Rev. Anthony Aufrere. (All the above particulars are from the Aufrère MSS)
Mr Anthoine Hullin D’Orval married, in 1703, in London, Mile. Susanne Gouyquet de St. Eloy. The bride was the sister or daughter of Isaac Gouyquet, Seigneur de St. Eloy, who first appears in Guernsey on 2nd January 1689 (n.s.), being described as of the diocese of St. Brieux in Brittany. Afterwards he was naturalised in London by Act of Parliament, in 1699, as the son of Isaac and Jone, born at Pluvigner. His Will was proved at London, 1st June 1728. Peter and Charles St. Eloy, Notaries-Public, and translators of French Wills, were his sons. (Wagner’s MSS.)

Layout 2
Debonnaire.
Jean Debonnaire was a refugee from St. Quentin in or about 1685 in London, as was his grown-up son, Pierre. The father appears in Threadneedle Street on 31st March 1688 as a widower, to be betrothed to Esther L’Epine, also of St. Quentin, whom he marries on April 16. His first wife’s name was Marie de la Cour; she was the mother of the above-named Pierre Debonnaire, a silk-weaver, who married in 1687 in the English Church, Esther Saint-Amand, a native of Paris, daughter of Matthieu St. Amand, silk-weaver, whose Will was proved at London, 18th July 1690. This couple were the parents of Marie, baptized in the beginning of 1688, and Ester in the following December, and of Pierre, baptized 24th May 1691; they had another son, John Debonnaire of Bromley, distiller, who died in 1747; and other two daughters, Esther, wife of Paul Nicholas Savignac, and Elizabeth, wife of Peter Lefebure. Pierre Debonnaire, the refugee, died in 1732. Pierre, born in London, became Peter Debonnaire, merchant in Lawrence Lane, and died 1733, ​aged forty-one; his widow, Susanne, daughter of John Le Keux and Susanna Didier, died in 1760, aged seventy; their son was John Debonnairc, merchant at Lisbon and in India, who died at the Cape of Good Hope in 1786; their daughters were Susanna, Mrs. Winch; Leah, Mrs. Wagner; and Mary, Mrs. Haggard. The distiller had a son and namesake, John Debonnaire of Bromley, the last male heir of the refugee, who died in 1797, leaving an only daughter, Anne, who was married in 1799 to William Tennant, Esq., Lord of the Manor of Shenston.
John Debonnaire, who died at the Cape (as already stated), was the father of Susannah Sophia Selina Debonnaire, born 1756, died 1815. As the widow of Major John Smith, she was married in 1782 to Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe, an East India Director and M.P. for Abingdon, who was created a baronet in 1802. She was the mother of the second, third, and fourth baronets. The third baronet was raised to the peerage as Lord Metcalfe, but died without descendants in 1846. Through the second baronet she was the grandmother of Eliza Debonnaire Metcalfe, who died in 1833, wife of Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, Esq., M.P., afterwards a baronet. A daughter of the late Sir Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe, fourth baronet, is the wife of Major Daniel Peploe Peploe, née Eliza Theophila Debonnaire Metcalfe.
Another daughter of John Debonnaire, latterly of the Cape of Good Hope, was Anne, born at Madras on 30th January 1768, married at Calcutta to Colonel the Hon. William Monson, fourth son of the second Lord Monson. The Colonel died in 1807, and she in 1841; they had five sons and three daughters. The eldest son, William John, became in 1841 the sixth and present Lord Monson. His next brother and heir presumptive is the Hon. Debonnaire John Monson, who has a surviving son, Augustus Debonnaire John Monson. The next brother of Lord Monson, Hon. Edmund John Monson, C.B., has had two sons, the second of whom is Edmund St. John Debonnaire John Monson. (See the Debonnaire Pedigree by Henry Wagner, F.S.A.)

Deslauriers.
In the Aufrère MSS. I find James Olliviers Deslauriers, who, dying in 1723, left £1000 to each of his nieces, Elizabeth Hersant (wife of Jacob Godard) and Mary Hersant; their mother, Mrs. Mary Hersant, a widow, was the testator’s sister and residuary legatee. He left £15 to each godson or god-daughter, being Protestant reformed, found in England at the time of his decease. To his brother, David Deslauriers, and wife, he left £50 a year, the principal to revert to his two nieces; and the interest of £200 to his sister Sarah, wife of John Martin. His other legacies were £50 to poor French refugees, £50 to apprentice poor French orphans, or children of French Protestant refugees, £50 to the poor of Leicester Fields French Church, and 50 guineas in gold to Rev. Israel Antoine Aufrère, with a request to him to act as executor.
# Proclamation 7074

Delivered on 12 March 1998.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
This year, as we mark the 177th anniversary of the advent of Greece's struggle for independence, we celebrate with the Hellenic Republic and recognize the close ties that have long existed between Greece and the United States. Through two centuries, our nations have enjoyed a strong and enduring friendship. For more than half a century, we have stood together in NATO, modern history's most successful alliance.
Our bonds are deeper still, however, for we are joined by blood, culture, and a profound commitment to shared values. Greek ideals of democracy and freedom inspired our Nation's founders and breathed life into America's experiment with democratic self-government. Generations of Greek Americans have enriched every aspect of our national life-in the arts, sciences, business, politics, and sports. Through hard work, love of family and community, steadfast commitment to principle, and a deep love of liberty, they have contributed greatly to the prosperity and peace we enjoy today.
The bonds between America and Greece, in fact, have never been stronger than they are today. We are partners in the effort to find a lasting, peaceful solution in the Balkans and to build an enlarged NATO that will enhance our common security. As our two nations prepare for the challenges and possibilities of the new millennium, we look forward to building on the partnership so that the seeds of democracy we have nurtured together for so long will bear fruit in a bright future not only for ourselves, but for our global community.
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 March 25, 1998, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-second.

# Proclamation 7068

Delivered on 26 February 1998.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The ability to see is a great treasure; but, as with any precious possession, it is vulnerable to loss-through injury, age, or disease. Men and women whose jobs require them to work with chemicals or machinery are at increased risk of eye injury. Macular degeneration takes a dramatic toll on the vision of people aged 60 and over, causing severe visual impairment and even blindness in its victims. Diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy can silently steal the vision of their victims without pain or other early symptoms to signal the need for immediate medical attention.
The greatest defense we have in protecting our eyesight is early detection and treatment. While many Americans receive regular physical examinations to ensure their overall fitness, they often ignore the health of their eyes. Yet, by the time many patients realize their eyesight is deteriorating, it is often too late to restore vision already lost. Even though they may not be experiencing vision problems, Americans should make a dilated eye examination part of their preventive health care routine. A dilated eye exam can reveal early signs of eye disease and make it possible to treat the affliction and preserve vision.
Good eye care is not solely for those who know they are at high risk for eye disease-it is for everyone. Certain types of eye disease tend to develop primarily in children, while others manifest themselves most often in working-age adults or older men and women. By taking good care of our eyes, we can take the important steps to maintain our quality of life and ensure the full enjoyment of all that our world has to offer.
To remind Americans of the importance of protecting their eyesight, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. 169a), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as "Save Your Vision Week."
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 1 through March 7, 1998, as Save Your Vision Week. I urge all Americans to participate by making eye care and eye safety an important part of their lives and to ensure that dilated eye examinations are included in their regular health maintenance programs. I invite eye care professionals, the media, and all public and private organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight to join in activities that will raise awareness of the measures we can take to protect and sustain our vision.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-second.

# Proclamation 7072

Delivered on 5 March 1998.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Americans are living longer, healthier lives. As a Nation, we are witnessing a dramatic growth in the population of Americans aged 55 and older, a trend that will continue well into the next century. To maintain our dynamic economy and to fill the jobs of the 21st century, we must make the most of the creative potential and productive capacity of this growing segment of our society.
Unfortunately, many Americans aged 55 and older encounter serious difficulty finding employment when they lose their jobs or seek to change careers. Employers too often focus on the age of older workers instead of their qualifications and strong work ethic. By failing to recognize the wealth of skills and experience older workers can bring to their jobs, such employers deny them an equal opportunity to make their own valuable contributions to the American workplace.
To counter these challenges, laws and government programs offer older workers the protections and services they need to ensure fair employment opportunities and practices. The Age Discrimination Act, the Older Americans Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protect the basic rights of millions of older working Americans. The Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services also assist older workers through such efforts as the Senior Community Service Employment Program and the programs of the Administration on Aging.
Older Americans actively contribute to our communities through their hard work, wisdom, and experience. They have rightly earned our admiration and respect; they have also earned a fair chance at a good job. As we observe National Older Workers Employment Week, I urge all employers, when they hire new workers, to consider carefully the skills and other qualifications of men and women aged 55 and older and to fully utilize this rich national resource.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 8 through March 14, 1998, as National Older Workers Employment Week. I encourage all Americans to recognize the contributions that older workers make to the workplace and to our economy, and I urge public officials responsible for job placement, training, and related services to intensify their efforts throughout the year to help older Americans find suitable jobs and training.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-second.

8XE By M. R. Strausberger.
The picture shows the exterior view of the Pennsylvania State College Radio Station.
​The tower is 121 feet high and insulated from the ground. The aerial is a six wire phosphor bronze of the straight-away type.
The interior of the station is very conveniently arranged and includes a 2 Kw. Clapp-Eastham type “E” transformer and a rotary gap with the other usual transmitting apparatus. All transmitting except in times of QRM is done on 500 meters.
The receiving set consists of an audion detector, Stromberg-Carlson phones and a Clapp-Eastham type variometer tuner. A new receiving set is now under construction and when completed will be thoroughly up—to-date and will include both oscillating and plain circuits with a range in wave length from 200 to 15,000 meters. The “nite” range of the station is 800 miles and many times can work a greater distance.
The following schedule has been adopted for the ensuing college year. The periods for “listening in” will be as follows: All days except Friday, 7:30-7:45; 8:30-8:45; 9:45-10:15. Friday, 9:45 to 10:15 only. Athletic results, etc, will be sent at 9:00 0’clock on the days of the contests.
