Homemakers Week
Designated By BOggs

The week of November Is to "a
has been set aside as Homemakers
Week by Governor J. Caleb Boggs,
it was announced today. During
that period special attention will
be called to housewives for their
roles as mothers, civic leaders and
for the influence they exert in
many ways on their families.
Governor Boggs declared there
was no better time for such an OBJ
servance than during Thanksgiv-
ing Week, when thought of home is
uppermost in the minds of most
people. He said that it is "entire-
ly fitting that all of us give some
expression of praise and gratitude
for the homemakers' contribution
to family life."
The proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, it is proper that we
honor the homemakers-com
called housewives-of our state
because in this period of great
tension they can and do exert
within our individual and COM
munity life a great influence, and
contribute to the stability of our
populace; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting during
the Thanksgiving season as we
give thanks for the blessings that
have been bestowed upon us, that
we include in our thought and
prayers all those homemakers to
whom we look for spiritual guild
ance, daily nOurishment and con-
stant loyalty, and for the proper
training of our future citizens;
now
THEREFORE,, l, J. CALEB
BOGGS, Governor of the State of
Delaware, do hereby set aside the
period from November 90 to "a,
1856, as
HOMEMAKERS WEEK
in the State of Delaware, and call
upon all citizens, schools and or
ganizations to observe this period
in a proper manner. We should
also pay tribute to those home
makers who try to improve the
health and happiness and morals
of their families. l also urge all
other homemakers or housewives
to emulate the many fine examples
set for them by improving their
home and family life.

fully manned for the remainder of
the prediction period.
Among the outstanding events
sponsored by the new club were:
the Milford Area visit of the Els
enhower Bandwagon" an early
rally, featuring Mrs. Vera Davis,
COP. candidate for state treasur-
er, and Dale E. Wheatley, Repub-
lican nominee for state auditor; a
big rally here, on Oct 26th, that
featured speeches by Governor j.
Caleb BOggs, seeking reelection,
and Harry G. Haskell, Jr., Repub-
lican candidate for Congressman
at-large. Each of these events drew
large and enthusiastic crowds.
In addition to working hard for
the reelection of President Eisen-
hover and Vice President Nixon,
and Governor Boggs, and election
of all statewide Republican candi-
dates, club members gave strong
support to John Keller, one of the
clubs founders and a candidate
for legislative seat, and to Ray
mond M. Lank, of nearby Milton,
the clubs first honorary member
and the COP. nominee for Sussex
County treasurer and receiver of
taxes. Largely as a result of club
activity, the President and Mr.. Nix
on received a district-wide plural
ity of 200; Mr.. Lank ran second
only to the presidential candidates
in the district popular vote, and
Mr.. Keller became the first Repub-
lican to be elected to the General
Assembly from the First Repre-
sentative District in quite a few
years. Governor Boggs, State Sen
ator Thomas l.. Johnson, Sussex
County COP. chairman, and
Messrs. Lank and Keller are among
those who have commended the
club upon its campaign activity.
Last Thursday week, the club
was very much in evidence at the
Return Day" celebration, at
Georgetown, with a large number
of appropriately decorated vehicles
in the parade and large portion
of its membership present.
In its campaign activities, the
club received splendid co-opera-
tion from the Sussex County Re
publican organization and from the
neighboring Tenth District (Kent
County, Club.
Unlike some political clubs that
function only during a campaign
period, the First Representative
District Republican Club has been
organized on a permanent basis
and is even now planning activities
aimed at making the Republican
Party the majority party in this
area.
