COMMONWEALTH Or PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNORS OFFICE MARRIftBURO PROCLAMATION CAPTIVE NATIONS WEEK JULY 14 - 20, 1985 The dream of freedom has long been a source of fierce struggle and determination for people throughout the world. As Americans, we are fortunate recipients of the realization of that dream. Yet, in many countries the flame of liberty continues to be tainted by the oppression and degradation characteristic of intolerant governments. We who enjoy the fruits of freedom must recognize that the rights we hold to be self-evident do not exist in all countries. We cannot and fnust not forget that some people are continually denied their most basic human rights in their homelands, and they are forced to live in silence, hunger and fear. We must not ignore those who are held bondage to totalitarian governments and who are imprisoned for their dreams and beliefs. During "Captive Nations Week" and throughout the year, let us join together in the hope that one day all people will be free. In recognition of the efforts of all men and women of goodwill who are working for freedom and justice in their homelands, I, Dick Thornburgh, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby proclaim July 14 - 20, 1985 as CAPTIVE NATIONS WEEK in Pennsylvania. I urge all Pennsylvanians to join with freedom-loving people everywhere in support of the ideals of freedom of conscience, movement and speech. GIVEN under my hand and the Seal of the Governor, at the City of Harrisburg, this first day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighty-five, and of the Commonwealth the two hundred and tenth.

Lipped MAYVILLE, WISCONSIN — Once again Branch 705 is spon­sor of a trapshooting team com­prised of six shooters made up of Branch members Steve Wald, of Iron Ridge, Mike Wald, Wayne and Darlene Wagner of West Bend and Jack Lippert and Dave Eaton. The sport provides an oppor­tunity for fraternal meetings, usually once a week on Tues­day nights. Though we cannot boast of great winners, ours is an improving team and we hope one day to put William Penn into the circle of champions. We are at the midway point of 20 summer league shoots and our team is tied for first in its division. On June 23 the team traveled to Waukesha to participate in the state’s five-man shoot. The event hosts 1,000 of the best shooters in the area. Qur team, of course, was there wearing our famous William Penn vests, thereby demonstrating a true fraternal spirit.
