October 27 is the late president's birthday and this day was designated as Navy Day in his honor. at is therefore desirable that the citizens of Key West appropriately celebrate the 27th day of October as Navy Day, calling to the attention of the people the importance of the Navy as a first-line defence. The history of our Navy deserves our gratitude and all honor paid to the officers and enlisted person- nel is deservedly earned. They are living up to the traditions of the past and emulating the valorous deeds of the past. Therefore I, as Mayor of the city of Key West, do hereby proclaim October 27th as Navy Day and request that all school teachers in our public and parochial schools bring to the atten- tion of their pupils the history of the American Navy and if con- sistent with the rules of the school, to give a partial holiday. It is also desirable that our citizens befittingly celebrate the oc- easion by giving as much holiday as possible to their employees and themselves, noting the glorious oceasion.
