Jefferson Week Observed Across Nation For Landmark Anniversary
Across the country the week of April 13 marks the 182nd anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth. The Thomas Jefferson memorial foundation leads plans with state and local observances to spread understanding of the founding ideals and to raise funds to free Monticello from debt and preserve it as a national shrine for Americans. Governor E Lee Trinkle of Virginia urges officials and citizens to observe the period, as Monticello becomes the people’s property. The centennial effort seeks to raise $1,000,000 to retire debt and prepare the home for the 1926 death centennial. President Coolidge praises the foundation’s work and urges reverent tribute as radio stations announce Jefferson week nationwide. Secretary Mellon links taxation and politics to salaries reform as a broader note.
