THANKSGIVING DAY
PROCLAMATION

Thanksgiving is distinctively Ameri-
can. 1t is part of our National life.
and upon the spirit of It's recognition
rests the stability of our institutions.
Observed by our fathers in the hard
ships of Colonial days. it gained recog-
milton in the Nations stress under Lin
coin. With such history and such
recognition, it is peculiarly fitting that
today, with Democracy on trial. we
should bow in thankful acknowledgment
to a guiding Providence. With the
idea and ideals of Calvary standing at
bay, humanity. with beseeching conf.
dence has appealed to the strength of
America, Tor relief and life, itself.
That we are privileged to give of our
harvests to starving nations, and of
our manhood in defense of honor, is
foundation for sincere THANKSGIVING.
Never in the history of our country,
have we been fortuned to give effec-
lively so much for the worlds advance.
So, to stand, with cur all, beside the
bleeding Nations to fight for Liberty
of Thought and Action, merits prayer
full recognition of the God of Courts
and Men. Truly, as in the past, man
with tried heart, bowed in sadness.
renders most devout thanks to the guild
ing Hand of Destiny.
In this worlds sadness and misfor-
tune, our State has played we'll her part,
giving more of her resources than the
demands Of proportionafe share. For
all of which, and in keeping with Gus
tom and Official Proclamation /, John
G. Townsend, Jr Governor of the State
of Delaware, do designate Thursday,
November 29th as Day of Thanksgiving
and strongly urge our citizens to lay
aside the duties of the hour and give
grateful thanks to Almighty God for
the harvests and blessings received and
the privileges and opportunities afford
ed, during this year, and to further re-
solve that our all be given for His Guild
ance.
