WHEREAS, this year of 1977 is the fiftieth year of Berlin Borough's incorporation as a borough, and

THEREFORE, I, S. Samuel Lichtman, Mayor of the Borough of Berlin, Camden County, New Jersey, so proclaim May 16, 1977 as Berlin Borough Day and do urgently appeal to the people of Berlin Borough to display the American Flag at their homes and places of business on this day, and that our clergymen make proper reference to this Anniversary in their worship services on Sunday, May 15, 1977, and that our borough school in some manner do recognize this Anniversary.
