Colelrat with us ;
the 300th Anniversary of
Founding of Pennsylvania
the
Authorized by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth,
the Governor has issued a proclamation declaring April 8, 1938,
a Legal Holiday in Pennsylvania, in order to celebrate—with
thanksgiving—300 years of ‘Godly Civilization’. It will be
called “Forefathers’ Day’’ as part of a three-day celebration—
April 7th, 8th and 9th—throughout the State.
Three hundred years ago, on April 8th, 1638, a hardy band of
pioneers, led by Peter Minuit aboard the good ship Kalmar
Nyckel, four months out of Gothenberg, Sweden, landed on
these shores. They called their colony New Sweden. This was
the foundation of Pennsylvania civilization.
Towns and cities throughout the State will hold school exercises,
parades, air shows, ‘‘Forefathers’ Day’ luncheons and dinners.
We cordially invite our friends from other States throughout the
Nation to participate. In Philadelphia there will be a giant
three-day celebration, climaxing on Saturday, April 9th, at
9:00 A.M. with a monster parade of Federal, Military and Naval
forces; the entire Penna. National Guard under General Shannon;
Police and Firemen; Patriotic, Civic and Fraternal organizations
and School groups; all to be reviewed by Governor Earle and
the 300th Anniversary Commission. Following will be a thrilling
aircraft demonstration by National Guard, State, Army and
Navy planes.
Plan right now to help Pennsylvania do honor to the noble
band of Swedes who founded it. Either join with your local com-
munity or plan a trip for this great Anniversary. Thirty thousand
miles of glorious, modern highways, throughout scenic and
historic Pennsylvania stretch out before you. Come by Motor,
by Train, by Bus. An old-fashioned welcome awaits you.
