served throughout the Plymouth col
ony as day of thanksgiving.
Who signed the first Thanksgiving
proclamation ever issued by presi-
dent?
George Washington, in 1882.
Who originated the modern
Thanksgiving day. as it is observed
in the United States?
The Thanksgiving as it occurs to-
day dates from 1864, when President
Lincoln issued a proclamation for set
ting apart the last Thursday in No
vember of that year. as day of ma
tional thanksgiving.
Each succeeding president has an
nually proclaimed thanksgiving
day which is generally followed by
similar proclamations by the cover
nors of the various states.
Who makes the Thanksgiving proc
lamation?
The president of the United States.
How is it done?
The president writes it out with
his own hand, trying to put in as
much of the spirit of the day as
possible. This is not an easy task.
He must avoid repeating expressions
that have been used by preceding
presidents, and yet he must cover the
same ground that they covered When
he has finished writing it out, it is
copied and this copy is sent to the
state department. One of the clerks
who is a good penman writes the
proclamation artistieally on parch-
ment. The parchment is then sent
back to the White House, and the
president signs it. After that it is
taken back to the state department.
where the secretary of state adds his
name; then the great seal of the
state department is affixed In order
to put the great seal on the procla-
nation note from the president is
necessary. in which he says II
hereby authorize and direct the sec
retary of state to cause the seal OF
the United States to be affixed to
my Thanksgiving proclamation, dat
ed this day and signed by me. and
for so doing this shall be his war
rant"
What is done with the procIama-
tion when 1t has been thus written
and signed?
