PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the cost of tuberculosis is a heavy burden on the people of this community, state and nation; and
WHEREAS, no individual is safe from this communicable disease unless all are safe; and
WHEREAS, the work of the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Society, aimed at preventing the spread of tuberculosis, will help bring an end to the personal tragedy and economic loss caused by the disease; and
WHEREAS, in this fifty-first anniversary we should honor the memory of the late Emily P. Bissell, a Pioneer in this work, by purchasing just as many Christmas Seals as we can since this is the principal source of revenue for the Socniety; now
THEREFORE, I, J. CALEB BOGGS, Governor of the State of Delaware, do hereby designate the period from November 25 to December 25, 1957, as CHRISTMAS SEAL MONTH. I urge all residents of our state to contribute generously to the 1957 Christmas Seal Sale.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, J. Caleb Boggs, Governor of the State of Delaware, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the said State to be hereunto affixed at Dover this Twenty-first day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-seven and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and eighty-second.
