Whereas, the President of the United States and
the Governor of Oregon have set aside Thursday,
November 29, as a day of Thanksgiving in .conform
ance with the national custom, and
Whereas' the past year has been one of unwonted
prosperity, and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that, in the midst
of our preparations for the great battle of freedom,
democracy and human rights, we should take pause
to render up thanks for the privileges we enjoy as
American citizens and for the patriotic response
which has been given in the nation's hour of need,
Now, therefore, I, John L. Vaughail, chairman of
the common council of the City of Pendleton and
acting mayor, by virtue of the authority in me vest
ed, do hereby urge that all business be suspended on
Thursday, November 2!), and that all loyal citizens
make a thanksgiving observance of the dav.
