PROCLAMATION
INVOLVES WORK

It has been customary in recent
years for the Department of State to
draft each Thanksgiving prociama-
uon.
After the draft has been o. K.'d by
he President It is handed to the State
departments expert penman, who III
his copper-plate chirography writes II
upon a large sheet of excellent parch-
ment, which is sent to the President
for his signature, and then returned
TO the State department to be signed
by the secretary of state. Next y
must be impressed with the great seal
of the United States, whose custodian
viii refuse to place It even upon so
important a document unless author
lzed to do so by a formal warrant
signed by the President, for the use
of the great seal or the possession OF
an impression thereof Without the
Chief Executives written authority Is
grave offense, punishable by law
Indeed, the great seal-which was
made by Jeweler at a cost of s10,oOO
and which is Kept locked In n great
rosewood case-is the most sacred In

Having had this, hallowed cipher of
the republic pressed into 1t, the new
Thanksgiving proclamation is filed
away in the State department
archives. later TO be bound in its
chronological order, with other accu-
mulated proclamations.
Uncle Sam takes all of these tech
nical pains merely to retain the hand
somely written proclamation as his
own souvenir. But before the instru-
ment has been filed away a typewrit-
ten copy is sent to the State depart
ment's official printer, who has a shop
of his own in the basement of our for
eign office. His printed copies are
given to the newspapers or to anyone
who wishes.
Each of the state governors must
also be sent an exact copy, but the de-
partments strict code of etiquette de
mands that these copies must not be
! printed. They are typewrltten and
signed by the Presidents and secre-
tary of states own hands. Each gov
ernor then seconds this move of the
President in appointing the annual
feast day of thanks and prayer and,
In their turn, the mayors of cities now
generally second the move of their
governors. By such indirect means
does the prompting Of the nations
thanks theoretically reach the people,
who actually receive 1t directly from
the President himself through that
ellminator of red-tape delays-the
iaily newspaper. In some localities
the bishops receive the proclamation
from the governors and hand it down
in circular form to the lesser clergy.
who read 1t from their pulpits upon
the Sabbath following Its Issuance. In
parts of New England it is stin the
custom to read the proclamation from
the pulpit on two successive Sundays.
These infinite pains dre taken de-
spite the fact that there Is nothing in
the federal statute authorizing Pres
ident to set apart such a holy day.
But the proclamations make the holi.

Carry little Thanksgiving cheer in

Besides the circle of relatives and init

on Thanksgiving, invite some lonely

returning to the family festival. Make
a happy Thanksgiving for others and
you will not lack gladness.
