LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor of Conn. Western Ne,CS.

Editor of Conn. Western Ne1cS
 Through your columns will you allow me to ask why the churches of our town had no proclamation for Thanksgiving to read? There was none sent last year, and went to the town clerk S office and asked the reason. I found the procla- nations ill bunch on his desk. Apollo gy was made for not sending them, with the promise that they would be attended to next year. have always been accus- toned to have proclamations sent by the town clerk. The governor of the state in issuing proclamation directs his sec- retary to send them to each town clerk, to be distributed to the clergy and those who should receive them. They are cer- tainly not sent to be kept in the town clerks office, but to be distributed for use. For two years I have not received a single proclamation on Thanksgiving, Arbor Day or Fast Day. The idea of passing by such time honored custom of Thanksgiving Day, without at least reading the proclamation, or having one to read, isa gross negligence that should be accounted for. And I believe that l am not alone in thus thinking and not amiss in speaking of it. I trust that when our next Thanksgiving Day comes around we shall have the proclamation in time to read it on the Sunday preced- ing Thanksgiving. 0. W. HANNA.
