LOCAL GOVERNMENT DAY - OBSERVANCE ON APRIL 15
                  Act of Apr. 27, 1965, P.L. 25, No. 22               Cl. 38
                                  AN ACT

     Providing for the observance of April 15 of each year as Local
        Government Day.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  The Governor shall issue, annually, his
     proclamation designating and setting apart April 15 as Local
     Government Day and calling upon the citizens of the Commonwealth
     to recognize the vital role of local government, including
     municipalities and school districts, in the preservation of our
     heritage of freedom, justice, equality and self-government, and
     to remind the people that unless every individual citizen takes
     an active interest and assumes responsibility in his local
     government, there can be real danger he will be losing control
     to the State and Federal government over problems which he knows
     best, such as public education, health and safety.
        Section 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
