I hereby designate September

served thruout Alaska as the one
hundred fifty-first anniversary of

of the Constitution. I urge that
a flag of the United States should
be flown on all public buildings
and on school buildings where
practicable.
By observing Constitution Day
as a holiday, we shall recognize
that the Constitution is an enclur
ing instrument fit for the govern
ing of a far-flung population of
more than one hundred and thir
ty million engaged in diverse and
varied pursuits.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I
have hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the Territory
of Alaska to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Juneau
