 Feb. 14, 1938 PROCLAMATIONS Feb- 14 1938 Mar. 15, 1938 WHEREAS the carrying into effect of any program for the conserva- tion of our hereditary wild life-in the past seriously diminished and depleted by destructive exploitation and lack of proper understanding and sympathy-must enlist the support of all of our citizens if the mistakes of the past are to be avoided in the future in dealing with this important resource of incalculable social, economic, esthetic, and recreational value: NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and designate the week beginning March 20, 1938, as National Wild Life Week and do earnestly appeal to all of our citizens first to recognize the impor- tance of the problem of conservation of these assets m wild life, and then to work with one accord for their proper protection and preserva- tion. To this end I call upon all citizens in every community to give thought during this period to the needs of the denizens of field, forest, and water and intelligent consideration of the best means for trans- lating good intentions into practical action in behalf of these invalu- able but inarticulate friends. Only through the full cooperation of all can wild life be restored for the present generation and perpetuated for posterity. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this 14" day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-second.
