Gov. Brewster's Letter to Chairmen
Governor Brewster has sent the
following letter to all civilian chair
men urging the need of making this
one of the biggest days Maine has
ever known and suggesting plans for
the observance Of the day:
State of Maine
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Augusta
June "a, 1925.
To Committees on Defense Day:
Governor Milliken has very kindly
consentend to serve as Chairman of
the Committee on Defense Day which
is to be observed in Maine on July 4
in accordance with the request OF
President Coolidge. Governor Milli-
ken and very much appreciate your
willingness to help on this occasion.
We do not believe the duty should be
onerous but we do believe that every
red -blooded American will be desir-
Gus of contributing little something
to the success of this affair.
On July it is the thought Of the
President that we should definitely
and individually dedicate ourselves
to such service as our country may

birth and preserved it in it's hour OF
need and reconsecrate ourselves IN
the spirit of our past.
In order that there may be no doubt
as to the readiness Of Maine to de-
fend those principles and privileges
of America which we prize, 1t is hop
ed that every community will IN
some way observe this anniversary
A simple program would consist
somewhat of the following: 500 A
M. Patriotic organization form for
parade. 800 A. M, Parade. 10:Oo
A. NJ, Congregation at some central
rallying spot where simple patriotic
services could be held with approprl-
ate music and speeches. 10:30 A. M.
Muster of every citizen who in some
simple form shall pledge his service
to the common cause; individual ded-
icstion by raising the hand or repeat
ing a pledge of allegiance or signing
muster blank will be of very real
value in bringing home the individ-
ua, responsibility in this matter.
Such program would contemplate
the freeing of every one concerned by
