                <text>Almost five months prior to the Rossville Centennial celebration in 1971, Rossville Mayor Chris Viergever announced this proclamation: &#13;
&#13;
Brothers of the Brush&#13;
&#13;
WHEREAS, all MEN and being residents of Rossville are interested in doing their utmost to make our Centennial Celebration the greatest ever held in this part of the country, and&#13;
&#13;
WHEREAS, all of us are anxious to have the city look as it did 100 years ago, and to reflect the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathers,&#13;
&#13;
THEREFORE, I, CHRIS VIERGEVER, do hereby proclaim that all males of the age when shaving is feasible, refrain from shaving from now until the end of Our Glorious Celebration Week, July 25, 1971. These males shall include all who live or work in the confines of our City as well as a goodly portion of our rural area. They may wear a full beard, mutton chops, Van Dykes, goatees, sideburns, mustaches or any facial foliage they so desire. This hairy growth shall be of such length and luxuriance that it can be readily seen and recognized at eight paces.&#13;
&#13;
THESE WORTHY MEN shall henceforth be known as Brothers of the Brush and shall receive full and official recognition by Town and Centennial officials as citizens of the greatest honor.&#13;
&#13;
BE IT KNOWN ALSO that those males who refuse to join the loyal fun organization, the Brothers of the Brush, by failing to sport such Wiry or Silky Hirsute Appendages as herein prescribed and ordered, will be dealt with as in the days of our ancestors by a specially constituted police force known as Ye Keystone Kops. This secret order will report all those who fail to heed this proclamation with punishment dealt out by Ye Kangaroo Court, to be set up by the Centennial Committee. Such humiliation and punishment as seems proper by said court shall be established by ye Keystone Kops and their aides.&#13;
&#13;
ISSUED under My Hand and Centennial Seal on this day of March 3rd, the Festive Year of Our Celebration, Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-one.&#13;
&#13;
Signed: Chris Viergever, Mayor</text>
