WHEREAS, this week is being set aside to call the attention of pleasure boatmen to the need for knowing and observing the basic rules of safe boating and for maintaining their craft in good mechanical condition; and
WHEREAS, the growing popularity of boating as one of America's favorite forms of family recreation makes it necessary for every boatman to use common sense and courtesy afloat to make boating one of the safest of all outdoor activities; now
THEREFORE, I, J. CALEB BOGGS, Governor of the State of Delaware, do hereby proclaim June 29 through July 6, 1958 as

and urge all boat owners to co-operate in making this week, and every week of the boating season, one which will be remembered for its pleasure, and not its tragedy.

Coast Guard and its' Auxiliary.
