County, Plan* Xjuw £bay Ob&exvance£ With order, justice, and law enforcement much in the limelight, observance of Law Day, 1969, will assume special meaning. Coordinated by the Mc Henry County Bar association, the observance will include three major activities. All citizens are urged to take part because Law Day-and the significance of this observance-is of concern to all people. May 1 each year is set by proclamation as Law Day, li.S.A., to rededicate citizens to the ideals of equality and justice under law, to cultivate respect for law and to reaffirm our ldyalty to the United States. First event will be on Friday, April 25, when a mock trial is held at Marian Central for high school students around the county. The afternoon program will include judges, lawyers," members of the sheriff and police departments and other officials fulfilling real-life roles in a trial set up to dramatize realistic application of our laws and how they work. Second event Will be at 11 a.m. Friday, May 2, with a ceremony in the courtroom of Judge William M. Carroll at the courthouse. Remarks by Judge Carroll will highlight this observance. In his talk a year ago, Judge Carroll observed that major disturbances have ripped communities and he hoped that "but of the carnage and suffering may come a new birth of dedication to the motto that ours is a government of law. It is a high price to pay." Carroll's succinct remarks have been a highlight of each Law Day observance since the custom began a half dozen years ago. Third attraction in5 the observance will be the Law Day dinner on Friday evening, May 2, at the McHenry Country club, where the Liberty BelFaward will be presented. The award goes annually to a layman who gives community service that strengthens the effectiveness of the American system of freedom under law.
