A PROCLAMATION

In the cycle of the seasons, another year marked by the abundance of Gods gifts is nearing its end. At such a time we are wont to turn to Him and with humble hearts to offer thanks as a Na tion for His manifold blessings.
We are moved by the inspiring au tumnal beauty of our land, which uplifts the hearts of men. We are thankful for the natural and human resources which have enabled us not only to enjoy high material and spiritual standards our selves but also to help others in the effort to achieve or protect their well-being.
We are grateful for the privileges and rights inherent in our way of life, and in particular for the basic freedoms, which our citizens can enjoy without fear.
This year it is especially fitting that we offer a prayer of gratitude for the spirit of unity which binds together all parts of our country and makes us one Nation indivisible.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, HARRY S.
TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, conforming to our hallowed custom, and in consonance with the joint resolution of Congress ap proved on December 26, 1941, do hereby call upon all our people to celebrate Thursday, November 27, 1952, as Thanksgiving Day. On that day let us, with a full awareness of our privileges and a deepening sense of the obliga tions which they entail, each in his own way, but together as a whole people, give due expression to our thanks, and let us humbly endeavor to follow the paths of righteousness in obedience to the will of Almighty God.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this eighth day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and se a l fifty-two, and of the Independ ence of the United States of America the one hundred and seventysevepth.
