Our country has many causes for thanksgiv ing. We have been blessed with distinctive evi dence of divine favor. As a nation, we have suffered far less than other peoples from the present world difficulties. We have been free from civil and industrial discord. The outlook for peace between nations has been strength ened. In a large view we have made progress upon the enduring structure of ou rinstitutions, the arts and science that enrich our lives, and enlarge our control of nature have made notable advances; education has been further extended. We have made gains in the prevention of dis ease and in the protection of children. Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, presi dent of the United States of America, do here by designate November 27, 1930, as a national day of thanksgiving and do enjoin the people of the United States so to observe it, calling up on them to remember that many of our people are in need and suffering from causes beyond their control, and suggesting that a proper cele bration of the day should include that we make sure that every person in the community, young and old, shall have cause to give thanks for our institutions and for the neighborly sentiment of our people. In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the seal of the United States. HERBERT HOOVER Q
