And Whebeas The realization of our patriotic ambition for North Car olina as a whole depends upon the achievement of the same ideal in the local community the county, the town, the town ship, the school district, the little neighborhood - grouped around church or schoolhouse; and for progress in each, there must be firsts a knowledge of conditions; second, united vyork of all the people at tasks of immediate im provement ; and third, the organ ization of the people for persis tent prosecution of all the larger processes of community better ment. ' Therefore, I, L,ocke Craig, Governor of North Carolina, in response to widespread sentiment among our people vas (expressed by many organizations and so cieties, do, hereby set apart the 3rd, 4th, and 5th days of Decern ber, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, to be known and observed throughout the State of North Carolina as COM MUNITY SERVICE DAYS,;' and I appoint them as- days, wherein every man, woman and child, in the' commonwealth shall lend heart, hand and brain to the service and development of Norh Carolina "and of its every com munity and county, and as . days wherein the people shall meet, confer and work together for ad- vancement along the three fold lines of investigation, united la bor the immediate improvement of the community and wise plan ning for its future.
