COOLIDGE PLEADS FOR THANKSGIVING President. Reminds Nation of Year’s Prosperity in Proc- 1amation Read Over Radio. By the Associated Press. Over a Nation-wide radio hook-up of more than 40 stations, President Cool- idge last night read his Thanksgiving day proclamation, calling upon the American people to give thanks for the prosperity and benefits of the past year. The Chief Executive read his procla- mation, which he issued several weeks ago, as part of a Thanksgiving day ra- dio program from his study, in the White House. He was introduced to radio listeners by David Lawrence, Washington newspaper correspondent, who described the White House study 8s a room which “breathes history” and where many Presidents have meditated upon the problems of war and peace. Recognizing the good things that have come to the people of the Unite States during the last year, the Pr dent in his proclan on gave thanks “for the blessings which the giver of all good and perfect gifts has bestowed upon us.” The radio program was arranged for last night instead of later in the weck because Mr. Coolidge will leave Wash- ington to spend a Thanksgiving week end vacation in the Blue Ridge Moun- tains of Virginia. The President, who will be accom- panied by Mrs. Coolidge and a small party, will have a quiet week end in the Old Dominion State except for Thanks- giving day itself, when a rather full program has been arranged for him. On the holiday Mr. Coolidge has ten- tatively agreed to attend a union church service at the Baptist Church, in Char- lottesville. and he has pted an in- vitation for luncheon with P t Edwin A. Alderman of the Ur 24 of Virginia, to which the govern of North Carolina and Virginia have been invited. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge hope to attend the Vir- ginia-North Carolina foot ball game, at Charlottesville, but their presence there depends entirely on the weather. any rate, the Presi more than 15 min $2,656,500 TO BE RAISED FOR HOSPITAL IN TOKIO Ambassador Claudel, Gen.
