PROCLAMATION 5107—SEPT. 27, 1983 97 STAT. 1629 I have appointed William M. Ellinghaus to serve as 1983 United States Chairman for United Nations Day, and I welcome the role of the United Na- tions Association of the United States of America in working with him to celebrate this special day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5106 of September 27, 1983 National Sewing Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Over fifty million Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the persistence, skill, and self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation. The home sewing industry generates over $3,500,000,000 annually for our economy and serves to introduce many younger Americans to activ- ities which lead to careers in such fields as fashion, textile design, interior design and retail merchandising. In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our economy, the Con- gress, by House Joint Resolution 218, has designated September 1983 as Ante, p. 714. "National Sewing Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 1983 as National Sewing Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with ap- propriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty- three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5107 of September 27, 1983 National Adult Day Care Center Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Adult day care centers provide supervised community settings in which partially disabled men and women of all ages can obtain care that may not be available in their own homes. These centers provide opportunities for adults who are socially isolated to find friends and learn skills. Day care centers enable individuals to obtain the care they need without being forced to live in institutions, and they offer needed respite to families whose infirmed relatives live with them. In recognition that adult day care centers and their dedicated professional staffs serve many health maintenance functions, provide vital medical care.
