Born at Luthersburg, Mr Mifeft Governor's Thanksgiving Proclamation HARRISBURG (APJ-GOV. shapp, in a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, has asked Pennsylvanians to remember elderly persons who are isolated from family and friends. Here is the text of the governor's message: "fat many years, Thanksgiving has been a national tradition, providing an opportunity for the more fortunate of us to share a special meal with our loved ones and to express in prayer oar thanks for this great nation and for those who have helped so much to make it our nation. "For the less fortunate, however, especially those millions of older Americans who live in isolation, Thanksgiving may hold little meaning. Many older Americans live alone and perhaps are even physically incapable of preparing their own meal.

For these, a day of national feasting can seem empty indeed. "The cruelest affliction of advancing age is not sickness or weakness; it is being forgotten. Recognizing this problem of loneliness, I would like to call on the citizens of Pennsylvania to do everything they can to include tile forgotten elderly in this year's Thanksgiving festivities. "Therefore Milton J. Shapp, governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby proclaim Thanksgiving 1973 as a day for remembering not only our own Households and families but also those older Americans who, through no fault of their own are isolated from family and friends.

And, I urge the citizens of Pennsylvania, voluntary organizations awl private groups, to provide fitting ways for oWer Americans to celebrate Thanksgiving Day as a day of joy and gratitude."

Father Dymski announced that Herb Martin, managing editor of the DuBois Courier-Express, has agreed to publish a series of articles to be written by members of the DuBois Ministerial Association on the theme of Advent. These spiritual messages will be published on the front page of the Courier-Express every Tuesday and Saturday for four (4) weeks beginning Nov. 27. It was also suggested that a series of meditations be published during the coming 1974 Lenten Season. In view of the tremendous success of the DuBois Art Festival held at the DuBois Mall in June, it was agreed that the Executive Committee consisting of Samuel Dunning, J.

Daniel Dymski, Charles Sibley, and Raymond Rowe set up a committee for another Art Festival to be held at the DuBois Mall. The matter was accepted by common consent. The Ministerial moved that due to the energy crisis and the desire to reemphasize the religious spirit of the holiday, Churstmas lights not be turned on until one (1) week before Christmas.

No decision was made, and it was their desire that Mr. Streeter wouM apeak to the Association at a later date. In conjunction with the forthcoming local transportation system, it was hoped that through the members of the Ministerial Association a survey could be made on the possible routes of the mini-bus.

Also, through the combined effort ef the Clearfield Ministerial Association and the DuBois Ministerial Association a joint ministry might be made to the County Jail.

"In a resent study completed by the FDIC on public deposit losses and recoveries experienced over the past ten years straws that public units have not suffered substantial tosses on the uninsured portion of their deposits in insured banks. The evidence clearly proves that the section of the bill to provide full deposit insurance for public units is a sound idea. It would provide tOO per cent insurance coverage for public funds placed in banks, savings and loans and credit unions. "However, it would also grant authority to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to limit the aggregate amount of these public funds which could be placed in any of the above insured institutions.

"Fbr commercial banks, it is important to increase insurance coverage from $20,000 to $50,000 since over the last several years there has been an escalation in cost of living. It is only equitable that there be this increase.

My Dad forgot his Safety Hat Safety Hints HewaftfJ.OMkMW, Safety, the quality or condition of being safe.

A condition every one should strive for. Safety is a part of every day. We are afl so fortunate to be born with our protective senses. With our eyes we can see danger. With our ears we can hear danger.

With our nose we can smell the odor of danger. With our mouth we can warn of danger. And with our fingers we can feel danger. Let us all work to protect these wonderful tenses. Be sure to use personal protective equipment, such as Safety eye glasses, ear muffs or ear plugs, respirator for the nose and mouth, protective gloves for the hands and fingers.

-o- Safety personal equipment is not new. During the Middle Ages the Knights wore armor and carried a heavy shield, stout sword and long lance. Cave men carried a cudgel. This was a club with rounded head. -O- Today we also have head protection available.

Important, too, isn't it? Haven't we all bumped our heads at some time or other. Or had some object fall on it? For the worker there is the safety hat or cap, sometimes called Safety helmet. -O- The hard shell of the hat resists and deflects blows. The interior suspension arts as a shock absorber. The ability of the Safety hat depends on the space between tne shell and the suspension.

This suspension is the cradle of the hat, made up of the sweat band and the crown straps that pass over the head. -O- The hard hat for electrical use should meet special requirements. Safety hats should be kept free from abrasions or physkal damage, especially when intended to afford protection from aatanb. The hats should be inapwited for defects for cracks. Another form of protection in head gear is the bump hat or applications, but not a substitute for the Safety helmet.

should be strictly limited; -0- So, Safety is available. Safety should involve the whole family. When dad takes his luneh-pail to work, remind him of his personal safety protective equipment, too..
