 PROCLAMATIONS-APR. 7, 10, 1941 And I call upon the people of each community of the United States on that day to review the extent to which they are providing for children nutritious food, healthful recreation, effective health super- vision, and adequate medical care, and to plan how such protection can be extended to all our children. I also call upon children to take full advantage of their opportunity to grow in health and strength and to share in protecting the health of other boys and girls. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this 7" day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-one, and of the [SEAL] Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-fifth.
