Drawings were held in each of these departments with area rugs as the prizes. Winners in the Blending-Carding-Drawing Department were: Joe Wilson, first shift; Darrell Chavis, and J. W. Berry, I second shift third shift. In the Department Winding-Reeling winners were; Carolyn McLellan, first shift; Larry Newton, second shift; and Kenneth Parker, third shift.

Your Constitution - What Does It Do? L How often do you think about what your Constitution does for you? If you’re like most Americans, not very often if ever. That’s why Constitution Week is observed nationally each year. This year it will be observed September 16 through September 22. This special week commemorates the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America, the oldest constitution still in active use in the world. It is the basic document of our government and its purpose is to protect the individual rights of its citizens. The observance of Constitution Week is sponsored by the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution who actively urge all Amer icans to reflect, at least this^ once each year, on the meaning of the Constitution, and the rights and obligations of United States citizenship; and to renew their ap preciation of the Constitution and their country. The DAR also urges that the American flag be flown at each household and business during Constitution Week. Some of the things which your Constitu tion does for you: It establishes for you a stable and responsible government. It makes you a citizen of the United States, if native born. It gives you citizenship, if foreign born, on complying with liberal na turalization laws. It allows you a voice in the govern ment through the officials whom you help to elect. It guarantees you life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It defends your rights even against the government itself. It makes you equal with all men be fore the law. It confirms your religious freedom, and liberty of conscience. It accords you free, lawful speech. It guarantees you together with all people the right of peaceable assembly. It permits you to petition the gov ernment to right your wrongs. It guards your property rights. It prohibits the government from taking your property without due pro cess of law. It lets you hold any office in the gift of the nation for which you are quali- fied. It enables you to become a citizen of any state. It prevents you from being held to answer to a complaint unless you have been lawfully accused. It insures your right of trial by jury of your fellow men. It grants you the right of habeas corpus, that is, the right to know why you are held a prisoner. It assures you a speedy trial. It permits your having counsel for defense. It prevents your being tried again if once acquitted. It permits you to have a trial in the state and district in which you may be charged with an offense against the laws. It lends you the power of govern ment to compel witnesses to appear in your behalf. It relieves you from compulsion to testify against yourself. It forbids excessive bail. It forbids excessive fines or cruel punishment. It protects you from slavery in any form. It keeps any state from depriving you of your constitutional rights. It sanctions your bearing arms for the protection of your life and home. It secures your home from search except byTawful warrant. It guarantees you that the legal obligation of contracts shall not be im paired. It permits you to participate in amendment of the Constitution from time to time.
