In the Communist world, ltay Day means the rule of force. It is celebrated with arms demonstrations and pa- trades of tanks, planes and l funs. : II- Our society celebrates May If 1 also, but we have come to If celebrate something much less - tangible, much less . strident - but much more important in , the affairs of men -i the rule -''of law. -,. This May 1, for the fourth time, our nation will observe Law Day USA. The day has been: so designated by act of Congress and presidential - proclamation. Local Observances There will be radio and television programs and local observances throughout the ' nation. There will be displays in schools and patriotic speeches. But this is not simply a day for judges and lawyers. It Is not simply a day for oratory ' and flourish. There Is only ' one real way to celebrate Law Day USA and that Is to re dedicate ourselves to uphold ing the rule of law which the ' day symbolizes. Because we are a free and proud people, it is not al - ways easy to bow to the law. Patronize This PARK WESTERN AUTO SUPPLY 25 1. JUvorsidV , SP 2-6217 Committee Continues Study.
