Rh family, or property as a sort of exception that proved the rule. Now the interesting fact is that he really did prove it. This madman who would not mind his own business becomes the business man of the age. The very word "monk" is a revolution, for it means solitude and came to mean community—one might call it sociability. What happened was that this communal life became a sort of reserve and refuge behind the individual life; a hospital for every kind of hospitality. We shall see later how this same function of the common life was given to the common land. It is hard to find an image for it in individualist times; but in private life we most of us know the friend of the family who helps it by being outside, like a fairy godmother. It is not merely flippant to say that monks and nuns stood to mankind as a sort of sanctified league of aunts and uncles. It is a commonplace that they did everything that nobody else would do; that the abbeys kept the world's diary, faced the plagues of all flesh, taught the first technical arts, preserved the pagan literature, and above all, by a perpetual patchwork of charity, kept the poor from the most distant sight of their modern despair. We still find it necessary to have a reserve of philanthropists, but we trust it to men who have made themselves rich, not to men who have made themselves poor. Finally, the abbots and abbesses were elective. They introduced representative government, unknown to ancient democracy, and in itself a semi-sacramental idea. Rh

Proclamation 3575 NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK, 1964 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Notwithstanding the fact that hundreds of thousands of volunteer leaders and members of rural organizations actively participate in community, State, and national safety programs which have proved effective in reducing the number and rate of accidents among farm residents, accidents still cause thousands of deaths and nearly a million disabling injuries to farm people each year. This loss of human and economic resources causes a significant adverse impact upon the economy of the entire Nation and must be viewed as a matter of national concern. I feel that the many public-spirited persons responsible for past and present farm safety efforts should be commended for their notable achievements and that these efforts should be given renewed public recognition and support. I n addition, I urge that vigorous new efforts be made to eradicate, insofar as feasible, all of the reasonably foreseeable causes of farm and rural accidents. Accomplishment of that objective should be the goal of National F a r m Safety Week, 1964.

Proclamation 3579 DEATH OF GENERAL MacARTHUR By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

To the People of the United States: With deep regret, I announce the death of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, who died today at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. As one of the most distinguished soldiers in the history of the United States, General MacArthur dedicated his entire life to selfless service in the defense of freedom. H e was a living embodiment of the code which he so eloquently expressed—duty—honor—country. Outstanding performance of duty and conspicuous leadership marked his career, which included service as Chief of Staff and Commander of the Rainbow Division in World W a r I, as Chief of Staff of the United States Army from 1930 through 1935, as commander of the forces which liberated the Philippines in World W a r II, as Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in Japan, and as Commander of the United Nations forces in Korea. We will forever be indebted to him for his integrity, his courage, and his brilliant accomplishments as a soldier and citizen; we will never forget that his ultimate goal was peace among men. As a mark of respect for the memory of General MacArthur, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at halfstaff in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its territories and possessions, upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels, until after his funeral shall have taken place. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

Rh If we could look from the outside at our own institutions, we should see that the very notion of turning a thousand men into one large man walking to Westminster is not only an act of faith, but a fairy tale. The fruitful and effective history of Anglo-Saxon England would be almost entirely a history of its monasteries. Mile by mile, and almost man by man, they taught and enriched the land. And then, about the beginning of the ninth century, there came a turn, as of the twinkling of an eye, and it seemed that all their work was in vain.

That outer world of universal anarchy that lay beyond Christendom heaved another of its colossal and almost cosmic waves and swept everything away. Through all the eastern gates, left open, as it were, by the first barbarian auxiliaries, burst a plague of seafaring savages from Denmark and Scandinavia; and the recently baptized barbarians were again flooded by the unbaptized. All this time, it must be remembered, the actual central mechanism of Roman government had been running down like a clock. It was really a race between the driving energy of the missionaries on the edges of the Empire and the galloping paralysis of the city at the centre. In the ninth century the heart had stopped before the hands could bring help to it. All the monastic civilization which had grown up in Britain under a vague Roman protection perished unprotected. The toy kingdoms of the quarrelling Saxons were smashed like sticks; Rh

PROCLAMATION 3589-APR. 30, 1964

I n the one hundred and seventy-five years since that occasion, thirtyfive other Americans have sworn that same oath and entered that same office to discharge in seamless continuity the duties prescribed by the Constitution. Individual incumbents are rejnemhered individually according to the challenges and responses of their tenure. But the office itself has long since come to transcend its occupants. The Presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands. I t has served as symbol of the spirit, purposes and aspirations of the American nation in this land and in lands far beyond these shores. Ordained to serve a nation of fewer than four million inhabitants, the American Presidency will before its two hundredth anniversary be serving a country of more than two hundred million inhabitants, living together in the most successful society yet created and sustained on this earth. In this achievement, it has been the will of the people that the office of the American Presidency be used in the work of perfecting our national unity, establishing justice, insuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity by seeking a world of peace, freedom and opportunity. The office of the Presidency is, as one President described it, "preeminently the people's office." The President himself is, in the words of another President, "the steward of the public welfare." While it has become custom, outside the original concept of the Constitution, for Presidents to be chosen from candidacies offered by political parties, the office itself and the conduct of that office remain today, as at the inception, national and not partisan, serving all the people without regard to party affiliations or philosophical persuasions. In the course of the year beginning this anniversary day, the American electorate will once more choose a fellow citizen to occupy the office of the American Presidency and to discharge its duties. All citizens participating in that decision will carry in their minds the memory of recent tragic events which impressed upon them and all the world full awareness of the importance of this office and its continuity for our daily pursuits and our hopes for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In this period, it will be constructive for all Americans to renew our appreciation of the functionings of our system, and to show our respect for the institutions on which our society stands by devoting to the office of the Presidency new study of its origins and history and new efforts to understand its functions and potentials within our democratic society, and by reflecting upon how this national office may be the more effective servant of our national purposes. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, on this thirtieth day of April in the year Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-four, do hereby proclaim the ensuing twelve months a period of commemoration of the beginnings of the office of the Presidency of the United States. During this year, let all citizens recall that on this day one hundred and seventy-five years ago the first President admonished us: "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."

Proclamation 3593 FLAG DAY, 1964 By the President of the United States of America

May 28, 1964

A Proclamation

Born at a time of peril to our fledgling Nation, our fla^ rallied our forefathers in their struggle for liberty—its stars and stripes symbolizing their highest aspirations and ideals as a people and as a nation. Out of their diverse backgrounds they joined as one under its protecting folds to establish a new nation where all men are equal and each is endowed with certain unalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Throughout our history we, as a nation, have continued this struggle to maintain our independence and to renew our efforts to become one people despite the differences in our heritages, creeds, and races. These same aspirations and ideals, symbolized by our flag, inspire peoples around the world. Flying alongside the flags of our allies, the Stars and Stripes presents visible evidence of our commitment to the defense of liberty for all free peoples. To the oppressed it stands as a beacon of hope. The importance which our flag holds in our national life prompted the Congress to adopt a resolution on August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492), 36 USC 157. designating June 14 of each year as Flag Day, to commemorate the adoption of our national emblem by the Continental Congress on that day in 1777, and requesting the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings on Sunday, June 14, 1964, and I call upon all Americans to observe Flag Day with suitable ceremonies. I also urge each and every one to meditate that day on the meaning that our flag held for our forefathers and what it means to us today, and to that end to rededicate ourselves to the principles which our flag symbolizes—equality, justice, and liberty for all peoples whatever their race, color, or creed—principles which have made ours a great and respected nation. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. D O N E at the City of Washington this twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-four, and [SEAL] of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-eighth.

Rh Guthrum, the pirate chief, slew St. Edmund, assumed the crown of East England, took tribute from the panic of Mercia, and towered in menace over Wessex, the last of the Christian lands. The story that follows, page after page, is only the story of its despair and its destruction. The story is a string of Christian defeats alternated with victories so vain as to be more desolate than defeats. It is only in one of these, the fine but fruitless victory at Ashdown, that we first see in the dim struggle, in a desperate and secondary part, the figure who has given his title to the ultimate turning of the tide. For the victor was not then the king, but only the king's younger brother. There is, from the first, something humble and even accidental about Alfred. He was a great understudy. The interest of his early life lies in this: that he combined an almost commonplace coolness, and readiness for the ceaseless small bargains and shifting combinations of all that period, with the flaming patience of saints in times of persecution. While he would dare anything for the faith, he would bargain in anything except the faith. He was a conqueror, with no ambition; an author only too glad to be a translator; a simple, concentrated, wary man, watching the fortunes of one thing, which he piloted both boldly and cautiously, and which he saved at last.

He had disappeared after what appeared to be the final heathen triumph and settlement, and is supposed to have lurked like an outlaw in a Rh
