Proclamation
An July 4th, 1928, our Nation enters into the 153rd
V year 0f its; Independence. Our form of Govern
ment in its early stages thought to be experimental,
without stability because dependent upon the will of
its people rather than upon the whim of dynastic
rulers, has gone to the top of all civilized nations of
the earth in advancement and in real progress. The
rights of the people to be secure in the exercise of
personal liberty have been fully protected by a Gov
ernment of the people, for the people and by the peo
ple.
In this section of our lancj it is peculiarly fitting
that we observe the National holiday and give out
ward proof of our continued loyalty and patriotism.
All citizens, and the guests within our gates, are
requested to co-operate in the general celebration in
commemoration of the patriotic statesmen who
signed their names to that immortal document, the
Declaration of Independence of these United States,
and which document has proven to be the basic
foundation of the principle! that “all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certaiin unalienable rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Dated: Seward, Alaska,
Julv 2nd. 1928. ,
\
L. V. RAY,
Mayor of Seward, Alaska.
