From the Plattsburgh Daily Republican, July 1, 1939:
To Our Canadian Neighbors:
The Daily Republican, in behalf of the people of Plattsburgh, welcomes our neighbors from across the International border on this national holiday known throughout Canada as Dominion Day.
We join you in an International Goodwill celebration, with every desire on our part to make this celebration enjoyable for both you and ourselves.
We commend our own American Legion Post, No. 20, which sponsored the celebration, our Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs for their united efforts to insure its success.
Plattsburgh extends the hand of welcome and greetings of goodwill to you, and fervently hopes this joint Canadian-American celebration will further cement the friendly relations existing between our two peoples.

So Happy Canada Day everyone!!
