PROCLAMATION

Fifty years have passed since the
close of the last great conflict in this
nation During this time the people
have become united under one great
banner. sectional lines have been en-
tirely obliterated. so that today we
know no north. no south. no east. or
no west Patriotism-the love of
home and country-has been instiIled
into the hearts and minds of every
true citizen of this nation.
But a few years more remain that
we can have with us the old soldier.
these beloved patriots who. when their
country called, responded in defense
of her honor and perpetuity. But a
few years and taps will sound over
the grave of the last one of these
veterans. Our hearts are filed with
emotion when we think of the sacri-
fee they have made. in order that we
might benefit thereby and live a hap
ny. contented and united people.
Therefore. as the Grand Army of
the Republic has through custom from
year to year designated May S0th as
the day on which we decorate the
graves of the departed soldiers and
10 pay honor to our country's flag.
and all it represents. let US join with
them in commemoration and rever-
ence for our country's defenders, and
as May 30th this year falls on Sun
day. it is desired that Monday, the
Slst. be observed instead. and that We
may appropriately do this. |, as mayor
OF this city, and in behalf of the
Grand Army of the Republic and kin
dred organizations. do proclaim Mon
day. the 3ist day of May. holiday in
Canon City. and earnestly request all
business to cease, both public and
private. during the day. Let us deco
rate our buildings and homes with
our nations flag and assist in every
way possible in true observance of
the exercises given on that day,

PAY UP WEEK IS HERE
ARE YOU ALL READY?

There is no community in Colorado
SO prosperous that it cannot stand a
little more prosperity. And those
communities which are prosperous
should do their best to help those less
fortunately situated by laboring to
make general conditions better. That
IS why the whole state should unite
in the financial clean up campaign of
May % to May 20.
There are some cities and counties
in Colorado where there is no unem-
ployment problem and where the
course of business is following the
normal course. But II even a higher
degree OF prosperity can be developed
in these happy sections OF the state,
those other sections which are in dire
need will feel the benefit. Let us
develop the sense OF unity of the
state. Colorado is one. Let US not
forget that and II by any simple
method we can advance the interests
of the whole state. let us not fall to
adopt that method.
II is neither good moral nor n
good patriotic principle to overlook
the needs of others because we our
selves happen to have all we want
Therefore. let all Colorado pull to-
gether for a general improvement OF
business conditions. There are sec
tons OF the state where the unem-
ployment problem is keen. and IL bus
mess can be stimulated all over the
state. this problem will solve itself.
The pay up week plan will stimu-
late business because Il win put mon
ey In circulation. The State OF Colo
RADIO Committee on Unemployment
and Relief asks every citizen wher-
ever he may be situated to impose
upon himself during this week the
task of putting money into circula-
ton. Then IL will be possible for
business and industry to expand. Then
1t will be possible for every idle man
to find Job. 1t is simple and pa
triotic duty.
