  • National Family Week
    87 STAT. ] PROCLAMATION 4172-NOV. 18, 1972 1141 business groups, labor unions, youth and women's clubs, schools, and other interested groups, to participate in this observance. I urge the Department of Agriculture, Jand-grant educational institutions, and all appropriate organizations and Government officials to mark the significance of National Farm-City Week with special events and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Indepedence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh. PROCLAMATION 4172 National Family Week By the President of the United States of America November 18,1972 A Proclamation As prospects brighten for a lasting peace in the world, we can hope to approach more closely the age-old ideal of a single, harmonious family of man. As we work toward that great goal, however, we must never forget that our starting point—the center of our affections and the wellspring of our self-renewal—must be the basic family circle. Parent and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, all truly mean "home" to every human being. No institution can ever take the family's place in giving meaning to human life and a stable structure to society; indeed, as a wise philosopher > observed thousands of years ago, "the root of the state is in the family." The pressures of our modern age make this a time of challenge for fam­ ilies in America, but every community has its inspiring examples of families which have risen to the demand and made the time of challenge a time of glory.

It is a day to share romantic deeds or expressions. Ten states and parts of two states observe Sweetest Day: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Washington and areas of both New York and Pennsylvania, west of the spine of the Appalachian Mountains. Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a “concocted promotion” created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of sweets. Origin The first Sweetest Day was on October 10, 1921 in Cleveland. The Cleveland Plain Dealer's October 8, 1922 edition, which chronicles the first Sweetest Day in Cleveland, states that the first Sweetest Day was planned by a committee of 12 confectioners chaired by candymaker C. C. Hartzell. The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee distributed over 20,000 boxes of candy to "newsboys, orphans, old folks, and the poor" in Cleveland, Ohio. The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee was assisted in the distribution of candy by some of the biggest movie stars of the day including Theda Bara and Ann Pennington. There were also several attempts to start a "Sweetest Day" in New York City, including a declaration of a Candy Day throughout the United States by candy manufacturers on October 8, 1922.

  • Fiscal and Policy Note for House Bill
    HB 762 Department of Legislative Services Maryland General Assembly 2014 Session FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE House Bill 762 (Delegate A. Miller, et al.) Health and Government Operations State Government - Commemorative Days - Diwali Day This bill requires the Governor to annually proclaim the first Saturday in November as Diwali Day in recognition of the economic and cultural contributions of the many Marylanders for whom Diwali holds special significance. The proclamation must urge educational and cultural organizations to observe Diwali Day properly with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. Fiscal Summary State Effect: Commemorating Diwali Day does not affect State finances. Local Effect: None. Small Business Effect: None. Analysis Current Law: Eleven official commemorative days and five months are recognized in State law as shown in Exhibit 1. The Governor also must issue a proclamation each year encouraging citizens and other individuals to observe a moment of silence at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to unite in remembrance and commemorate the heroic acts and efforts of Marylanders who have served and died in the U.S. Armed Forces. Background: Diwali, also known as the “festival of lights,” is a Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The specifics of the festival vary by region, but it generally signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Over the centuries, in India, Diwali has become a national festival that is enjoyed by most Indians regardless of faith. The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartik.
