- From the primeval swamps
rae man, the bringer of law.
lefore human beings moved
f rth on the earth natural law
I d rule over the waters. But
r in, even In hit primitive'
r observed the infinite or
- ind In nature and adapt-
tuit order to hit own use.
v, unwritten or written,
1 or legal, hat existed
i rrn, a gregarious crea-
i, t 'it the. society' of
il himself. . :
a wotda law and free, at
parts of speech, form a. pair
of opposite. Only In defini
tion can the true meaning of
these words be 'found. Since
humans are not capable of
teaching perfection, they must
t a protected -from -their frail-
tins. This It law; a' code pro
1 "rt each from the lmper
i -ons'of trie other. On the
r t hand the word free can
y : imply . complete . release
t orn all restrictions, hlndran
i and limits that are placed
t-a society,' How then can law
s-'d the free citizen exitt tc
l hert , . ; , .
The answer to thia question
lies in the wellspring of the
law's authority. The source of
the law is the people. How-
s aver, law benefits mankind
only when It evolves from the
authority of all who will be
governed. This does not hold
true in totalitarian govern
ments where laws are made
by the few for the restriction
of the many. Totalitarian
practices are not law; they are
injustices to the inherent free-
: dom of man. The majority
then, in a free society, have
recognized- the need for Jus
tice In order to protect their
individual liberty from the
misdeeds of the group as a
whole. In such a society where
the individual does not lose
his freedom but maintains it
under the law, It Is possible
for the free citizen and law
to co-exist. The law Is not a
set of restrictions but a set of
rights, written or .recognized,
that may not be violated. -
No- one man can be law
unto himself in today's' world.'
Each has' obligations to his
group so that the group might
function for Hie individual. In
the United States these obll
gatlons include voting, seek
ing an education as a strong
DacKground, and , practicing
toleration In a land that is
known: as the "melting pot"
of the nations. The most im
portant obligation of any
United States citizen is the
promotion of interest in the
Self-governing processes. Once
the citizenry has become aDa-
thetic, soundly convinced that
man made law is Infallible,
the day will come when the
law no longer guarantees free
dom but guarantees slavery.
The usefulness of the law
stands according to the inter
est of the people. :
Over the centuries as man
stretched, his conquests across
tne earth, he brought with
him his law. From the crude
code of Hammurabi through
the polished law of the Roman
Empire to the legal system
existing today In the United
states, law had developed as
did its maker, man. The law,
as it stands, is still adjusting
10 me complexities of the aee.
However, without the basic
tenets of the law lndestructa.
ble behind the free citizen
who goes forth to confront
totalitarian Ideals, the world
ana us population would slow-
ly; sink Into oblivion, no bet
ter tnan tno swampy depths
from which It rose.

Many homes built since

Homeowners who wish to add
the focal point of family life
can now do so at little ex
