State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantafium
In compliance with the Statute I hereby designate
Friday, the twenty-ninth of April next, as
Arhur aun Hira ſlau
and I recommend to all the people that on that day, so far
as vocation and opportunity permit, they give some time
to the planting of trees or shrubs and to the practical
illustration of the truth that with a higher civilization
comes a kinder regard for our birds. I especially, recom-
mend to all the teachers of the State that on that day they
so give instructions and direct the exercises of the schools
that the children may take increased interest in the plant-
ing of trees, the making of gardens, the reclaiming of soil
to the uses of agriculture, the beautifying by flowers and
shrubbery of our homes and highways, the care of our
bird life and all similar activities to the end that the fruits
of the earth may be preserved in abundance for us and for
those who shall come after us. -
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this eighteenth day of
April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven and of the
y independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-first.
>4-º'clºc,
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
