tion of this first and most sol-
emn of our holidays. We dedi-

which He has provided in un
dertaking the tasks of our na

The proclamation;
The White House
Thanksgiving Day, 1963 '
'" By the President of the Unit-
ed States of America
A proclamation:
Over three centuries ago, our
forefathers in Virginia and in
:;. Massachusetts, far from home
in a lonely wilderness, set
aside a time of thanksgiving.
On the appointed day. they
gave revereni inanKS ior meir
safety, for the health of their
. children, for the fertility of
. their fields, for the love which
bound them together and for
the faith which united them
with their god. . 1 .
&o too, when the colonies
achieved their indeDendence.
our first president in the first
year of his first administration
proclaimed November 26, 1739,
as "a day of public thanksgiv
ing and prayer to be observed
by acknowledging with grateful
hearts the many signal favors
of Almighty God" and called
upon the people of the new re
public to "beseech Him to par
don our national and other
transgressions ... to promote
the knowledge and practice of
true religion and virtue . . . and
generally to grant unto all man
kind such a degree of temporal
prosperity as He alone knows
to be best."
And so too, in the midst of
America's tragic Civil War,
President Lincoln proclaimed
the last Thursday of November,
1863, as a day to renew our
gratitude for America's "fruit
ful fields," for our "national
strength and vigor," and for
all our "singular deliverances
and blessings."
Much time has passed since
the first Colonists came t o
rocky shores and dark forests
of an unknown continent, much
time since President Washing
ton led a young people into the
experience of nationhood, much
time since President Lincoln
saw the American nation
through the ordeal of fraternal
war and in these years our
population, our plenty and our
power have all grown apace.
Today we are a nation of near
ly two hundred million souls,
stretching from coast to coast,
on into the Pacific and north
toward the Arctic, a nation en
joying the fruits of an ever
expanding agriculture and in
dustry and achieving standards
of living unknown in previous
history. We give our humble
thanks for this.
Yet, as our power has grown,
so has our peril. Today we give
our thanks, most ot all, for the
ideals of honor and faith we in
herit from our forefathers for
the decency of purpose, stead
fastness of resolve and strength
of will, for the courage and the
humility, which they possessed
and which we must seek every
day to emulate. As we express
our gratitude, we must never
forget that the highest appreci
ation is not to utter words but
to live by them.
Let us therefore proclaim our
gratitude to Providence for
manifold blessings let us be
humbly thankful tor inherited
ideals and let us resolve to
share those blessings and those
ideals with our fellow human
beings throughout the world.
Now, therefore, I, John F.
Kennedy, President of the Unit
ed States of America, in con
sonance with the joint resolu
tion of the Congress approved
December 26, 1941, 55 Stat. 862
(5 U.S. C. 87B), designating the
fourth Thursday of November
in each year as Thanksgiving
Day, do hereby proclaim Thurs
day, November 28, 1963, as a
day of national thanksgiving.
On that day let us gather in
sanctuaries dedicated to wor
ship and in homes blessed by
family affection to express our
gratitude for the glorious gifts
of God; and let us earnestly
and humbly pray that He will
continue to guide and sustain
us in the great unfinished tasks
of achieving peace, justice, and
understanding among all men
and nations and of ending mis
ery and sintering wherever
they exist.
In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal of the United
States of America to be af
fixed. Done at the City of Washing
ton this fourth day of
November in t h e
Year of Our Lord
Nineteen Hundred
and Sixty - three,
and of the inde
pendence of the
United States of
America the
one hundred and
eighty-eighth.

Dolls Have Many Exciting Mew Talents

Teachers Attending
English Conference
The Thanksgiving holidays
will not be holidays for a
group of Medford teachers, who
are attending a meeting in San
Francisco of the National Coun
cil of Teachers of English. .
The meetings open late today
and will continue through Sat
urday. The group will return to
Medford Sunday in time to re
sume classes Monday morning.
Attending from the English
department of the Medford
schools will be Jim Backen, Ray
W e i n h o 1 d, Thelda Bevens,
Charles Nevi, Clara Wendt,
Dorothy Sutter and Mrs. Wil
liam Ruck. Mrs. Backen and
Ruck are accompanying the
group.
The world of dolls abounds
with astonishing new talents,
all keyed to making it more
difficult than ever to differen
tiate dolls from real children.
Star performers this Yuletide
are the new contingent of baby
dolls whose behavior almost ex
actly reproduces the muscular
virtuosity of infants and tod
dlers and most of the human
babies' repertoire of sound ef
fects as well.
The muscular activity of the
baby is reproduced with fascin
ating realism by a new infant
doll prototype. When this ac
complished cherub sucks on her
bottle she squirms and wriggles
in a manner modelled exactly
after a real baby movements.
There's a doll that laughs when
tickled and another that cries
when spanked. .
A real surprise for even ex
perienced connoisseurs of the
modern playroom phenomenon
the doll conversationalist
is a new pram, wired so that
when the doll mother pulls a
cord the doll in the pram starts
chattering without being touch
ed at all.
Foreign Languages
Another addition to new doll
accomplishments in the vocal
area is the inclusion ot loreign
languages in the doll conversa
tional repetoire. One newcomer
dolls accessories include rec
ords in six languages besides
English and a wardrobe suited
to travel in foreign lands, as
well as more mundane social
occasions at home.
The family concept has
gained ground in the world of
dolls this Yule season. There
are more mamma and papal stretch pants, for example, are i dresses and even a collection of I trlcuinir contrast to the de-
dolls and teenage male dolls are "in" and so are boots. The wigs. , tailed realism of the dolls mod-
included in several family sets, dressed doll will have at-home A variety of character dolls elled after members of the av
Bulky knit sweaters and costumes, long formal evening add a touch of fantasy in in- erage family. ....
