would be almost impossible to travel in Central Africa without coming into contact with the results of Witchcraft. Even the few months that I spent there in 1896 were sufficient to show me how real is its strength and how evil its influence.

But really reliable information on the subject is difficult to obtain. Those who practise it naturally prefer to keep their knowledge to themselves, and not lose a profitable source of income. Direct questions by a European to a native on such a subject, if answered at all, would only lead to false replies and confusion of ideas. There is also a further difficulty. The languages are in most cases in a state of transition, and in order to convey a new idea to the native we either have to adopt words from English, Arabic, or Portuguese, or else to take a native word which may already have a special meaning of its own. In the latter case we attach our own meaning to it, and are apt to imagine that this will be conveyed to the native by the use of the word, whilst in his mind the word gives a different idea, although he may be unable to define it. The opportunities for error and misunderstanding on both sides are therefore very great.

Proclamation 3952 NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Genuine concern for his fellowman has always distinguished the American citizen. That concern finds daily expression in countless acts of voluntary service to the less fortunate, the sick, and the injured. No manifestation of this generosity of spirit is more expressive, and no gift more priceless in time of personal crisis, than the donation of one's blood. The voluntary blood donor truly gives life itself. Mobilized through the American Red Cross and the American Association of Blood Banks, and encouraged by modern medical techniques for simjile and efficient collection and use of blood and its therapeutic components, the ranks of the voluntary blood donor have continued to grow and to make unparalleled contributions to the health of our people. With the advent of the New Year, it is appropriate and timely to pay high tribute to our Nation's voluntary blood donors for their generosity and to encourage more people—both women and men, and both the younger and the older—to join their worthy ranks by providing a steady and increasing supply of blood during each month of the year ahead. To this end, the Congress by Senate Joint Resolution 154 has requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the month of January 1970 as National Blood Donor Month.

However, despite the progress we have made, the potential for poisoning is increasing. Medicines are being used more widely than before, and our advancing technology continues to make available for household use new products and materials which may be harmful if used improperly.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The pleasures of boating are known to many. Unfortunately, the potential hazards of boating are not so well known. As thousands of our fellow citizens take to the already-crowded waters each year, the potential danger to themselves—and to those who have enjoyed this pastime for many years—becomes increasingly apparent. Boating is and should be enjoyable, but it will remain that way only if the safety of all those engaged in boating is insured by knowledge and practice of boating safety rules. 36 USC 161.

Recognizing the need for emphasis on boating safety, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (72 Stat. 179), has requested that the President proclaim annually the week which includes July 4 as National Safe Boating Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 28, 1970, as National Safe Boating Week. The theme for National Safe Boating Week 1970 reminds us, "Safe Boating I s No Accident." As insurance against accidents, I urge the American boatmen to take advantage of the numerous courses available in boating safety. I also invite the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and appropriate officials of all other areas under the United States flag to provide for the observance of this week. And to the many fine organizations who will voluntarily give of their time during this year's observance, I offer my appreciation in advance.

On February 9, 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant approved a joint resolution of Congress (IG Stat. 369) providing for meteorological observations and for giving notice of the approach and force of storms. I n the hundred years which have intervened, meteorology and kindred atmospheric sciences have undergone phenomenal development through the skill, ingenuity, and dedication of civilian and military scientists, meteorologists, weather observers and many others serving on land, at sea, and in the air, in peace and in war. Their efforts have been aided through unswerving cooperation by the press and the radio and television industries. This cooperation has resulted in weather services which touch almost every American life and which provide tremendous benefits in the protection of life and property, assistance to many facets of the national economy, and daily contributions to the public welfare and convenience. Today, the United States is working diligently with many other nations toward a World Weather Watch which, through increased understanding and use of our environmental resources, will provide vastly improved weather services for the entire world.

(^^2^A^<^C^^ Proclamation 3959 INTERNATIONAL CLERGY WEEK IN THE UNITED STATES By the President of the United States of America

February 4, 1970

A Proclamation

On February 3, 1943, the troop transport Doichester was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Greenland. Among the six hundred and seventy-eight men lost in that disaster were four chaplains—a priest, a rabbi and two ministers. These men of God had given their life jackets to soldiers who had lost theirs. The sacrifice of these brave men was great—but their example was even greater. They demonstrated that love of God knows no boundaries when fellow man is in need. To encourage the participation of all Americans in honoring the world's clergymen, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 1051, has requested the President to proclaim the week commencing February 1, 1970, as International Clergy Week in the United States. I t is therefore in the spirit of the four chaplains of the Dorchester that I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States, proclaim the week commencing February 1, 1970, as International Clergy Week. I call upon all Americans to honor these brave men by appropriate ceremonies and activities, and to honor clergymen of all faiths, in this country and throughout the world, in that spirit of international brotherhood and love of God that transcends all denominational and national boundaries. _ I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.

Proclamation 3960 AMERICAN HEART MONTH, 1970 February 9, 1970

36 USC 169b.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Cardiovascular disease imposes a heavy burden on the nation. More than half of all deaths in the United States result from heart disease. I t is also a major cause of disability, taking a tremendous toll in both suffering and economic loss. The number of Americans who have some form of heart and blood vessel disease is estimated at more than 27 million. I n 1968 the economic cost of such disease was estimated at more than 31 billion dollars. Despite the vastness of the problem, notable progress is being made in the struggle against this disease—largely through research and its application. This progress is attributable to the combined efforts of public and private interests. For continued gains, we look further to the National Heart and Lung Institute, as the chief Federal partner, and the American Heart Association, as the principal voluntary ally. Given the support of all our citizens to reinforce and sustain this effort, we can have cause for optimism in this effort. For such reasons the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February 1970 as American Heart Month, and I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations. I urge the people of the United States to give heed to the nationwide problem of heart disease, and to support the programs essential to bring about its solution. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Theodore Roosevelt once said: "The foundation stone of national life is and ever must be the high individual character of the individual citizen." Nowhere has the force of that character been better demonstrated than in the small businesses of our nation. The imagination, courage and hard work of small businessmen have, since our country's founding, been a great source of national vitality and inventiveness.

Small business is not and never has been a small matter in our national life. Operating or working in small business has not only been a good way to make a living—it has been a good way to help make a country strong and free and prosperous. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning May 17, 1970 as Small Business Week. I encourage chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and other public and private organizations to observe this week by recognizing the contributions which small business enterprises have made to our national development. I urge them to find appropriate means for paying tribute to the accomplishments of small business, and I trust they will encourage small businessmen to achieve new successes in the future.

February 12, 1970

A Proclamation

The United Nations Charter expresses the determination of the peoples of the United Nations "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights," and "in the dignity and worth of the human person...." Education is a fundamental human right, one that recognizes and helps to preserve the dignity and the worth of human beings. With this in mind, the United Nations has designated 1970 as International Education Year and has called upon each member state to intensify its domestic educational efforts. I t is to that end that I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim 1970 to be International Education Year in the United States. I call upon all Americans to join our fellow citizens of the world m making this year one of reflection on the state of education as it exists and of action directed toward making education what it should be. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of February in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.

Proclamation 3963 MINERAL INDUSTRY WEEK February 13, 1970

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Ante,

p. 14.

I n 1698 a book was published in London to inform and encourage political migrants to the colony founded by William Penn. The book told of the abundance of natural resources that could be found in this part of America, and, in part, told of "... the Mines where is Copper and Iron, besides other Metals and Minerals...." This early reference to the mineral resources of America reminds us that mineral industries have long provided the basic raw materials that have contributed so vitally to our nation's growth. I n recognition of the contributions that the mineral industry has made to the well-being of the nation, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 888, has designated the period of February 13 through February 19, 1970, as Mineral Industry Week, and has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, invite the governments of States and communities and all citizens to join during Mineral Industry Week in recognition of the contributions of the American mineral industry to the security, health, and well-being of our nation. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Sight is one of man's greatest gifts. The preservation of that gift is one of his greatest challenges. Modern research has developed the technology for preventing nearly one-half of all new cases of blindness in this country. Cataracts that cruelly deprive older people of their sight can now be corrected surgically. Regular examinations can detect visual disorders, especially among school children who need good sight in order to learn. In the case of disorders such as glaucoma—which can rob a person of much of his sight before he is aware that a problem exists—early detection is essential if treatment is to be effective.
