PROCLAMATIONS.

PROCLAMATION.

A large area of our country has been visited by cyclones of unprecedented fury followed by floods of the most devastating character.

The loss of human life resulting from these occurrences is appalling and the widespread destruction of property is unparalleled in the history of our country.

These terrible calamities that have been visited upon our fellow countrymen should appeal to the sympathy and generous impulse of every citizen in a substantial manner. Therefore, I, Charles R. Miller, Governor of the State of Delaware, and as President of the Delaware State Board of the American Red Cross Society, appeal to the people of the State of Delaware to extend relief and render such financial help as each one is able to do.

Those of our citizens who desire to make contributions in the form of money or clothing or other essentials should send the same to either Mr. L. Scott Townsend, Treasurer of the State Board of the National Red Cross Society, or to Mr. Henry M. Canby, Treasurer of the Delaware State Chapter of the Red Cross Society.

PROCLAMATIONS.

MOTHER'S DAY PROCLAMATION.

The progress of the times is continually giving rise to new thoughts and new ideas. Influences of this character which encourage a people to work for higher ideals tend to increase the usefulness, promote the happiness and develop the best that is in the human race.

The strength of a nation is measured by the character of its women and it is no idle sentiment for a people to encourage in every possible manner, respect and admiration for true womanhood.

The movement having for its object the observance of Mother's Day which has been spreading with great rapidity throughout the civilized world, has resulted in the setting apart a special day, upon which each individual is asked to perform some act in celebration and commemoration of the mothers of the land.

I, Charles R. Miller, Governor of the State of Delaware, do hereby designate that

Sunday, the Eleventh day of May, A. D. 1913,
shall be known and designated as

MOTHER'S DAY;

and do request that this day be observed by all individuals, societies and organizations, religious or otherwise, by the performance of some act to commemorate the mothers of mankind.
