Concurring that the 12th of August of each year hereafter shall be designated and observed as Texas Pioneers' Day, and the Governor of Texas shall issue a proclamation at least thirty days in advance of such date each year, in which he shall call upon the people of the State of Texas to assemble in mass-meetings preferably to be held in the open air and in the form of Pioneers' Picnics and Old Settlers' Reunions and similar celebrations, to do honor to the memory of the heroic pioneers who by their sacrifices and hardships converted the primeval wilderness into the great empire of peace and plenty which we today enjoy.
