A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, The preservation of our
forests, Federal, State and private. is
essential to our industrial and CON-
nercal life, to our strength as nation,
.nd to our individual well-being, and
Whereas, Forest fires, which are
largely the result of carelessness or
thoughtlessness, continue to do great
damage. threatening to deplete and re-
duce our forests to the point at which
they can not longer serve the nation
adequately as source of timber supply
or for watershed protection and recrea-
ton, and
Whereas, The annual observance of
Arbor Day in the States, and the inter
est in fire prevention which has resulted
from Forest Protection Week hereto
fore. have done much to awaken the
people to the importance both Of plant
ing trees and of perpetuating the for
ests that are already established.
Therefore, I, Warren G. Harding,
President Of the United States, do urge
upon the governors of the various
,tates to designate and set apart the
week OF. April 22-28, 1923, as Forest
Protection Week, and wherever practi-
cable and not in conflict with state law
or accepted custom. to make Arbor
Day fall within the same week; and to
urge citizens, teachers. officers of pub
lie instruction. commercial and other
associations, and the press to unite in
thought and effort for the preservation
Of the nations forest resources by con-
ducting appropriate exercises and pro-
grams and by publishing information
pertaining to the waste from forest
hres and ways Of preventing or reduc-
Ing such losses, in order that our
forests may be conserved for the ines
Unable service of mankind.
In Witness Whereof, have hereunto
set my hand caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this
9Th day of March 1928.

A Notable Social Function
Communicated.

In none of our surrounding communi.
ties has the social atmosphere been so
stirred this winter as in the budding
town of Lewis. Each week has wit
messed public or private entertain
ment, such as has called on Lewis elite
for its most snowy trappings and its
most dignified airs. The latest and
largest of its notable private functions
was that of Mr.. and Mrs. McAfee and
Miss Miner given Wednesday of last
week. to which more than 100 invita-
tions were extended. Unlike Others
this was an evening of progressive
games, but playing cards were taboo.
And it was belated St. Patrick s day
celebration, the color scheme being car
ried out in green. The seventy guests
were seated at seventeen tables, each
table being dedicated to an original
progressive game, and under the deft
management of the hostess the evening
proved to be protracted season of
merriment. The midnight supper con-
sisted of novelties, from cheese balls to
Individual cakes and was voted the last
word in the chefs art. The ladies' first
prize was carried off by Mrs. Henry
Honaker, the mems by Harry Ruther
ford; the BOBBY prizes by Mrs. Palmer
and John May.
