Law Day Proclaimed
Hoke County attorneys are calling attention to Law Day today with flowers. In a
brief ceremony at the courthouse to mark the day, lawyers' wives presented their
husbands with a flower for their lapels.
Law Day originated in 1958, when President Dwight Eisenhower issued the first
proclamation and is celebrated each year to emphasize the importance of law in
American life.
Mayor John K. McNeill, in a proclamation, has set aside May 1 as Law Day in
Raeford.
PROCLAMATION FOR LAW DAY
May 1, 1975
WHEREAS:
The 34th President of the United States proclaimed the First Law Day
observance in 1958 in an effort to combat communism ~
WHEREAS'
As we stand here on One May, 1975, the final chapters in one of the most tragic
events in American History is being written -- an event that has to do with die
original reason for Law day.
THEREFORE:
We would remember and thank God for the short lives of those sons of the
Raeford-Hoke Community whose final chapters have long since been completed.
WHEREAS:
Law Day is now sponsored by the American Bar Association along with the State
and Local Bar Association to emphasize the importance of law in American life
today - and as Mayor, I have been asked to make this proclamation.
NOW THEREFORE:
1, J.K. McNeill, Jr., Mayor of Raeford, do proclaim this day, May 1, 1975, Law
Day for our city - with these thoughts for today.
I. That we better understand that we enjoy our being as a result of the RULE OF
LAW and not by RULE OF ONE PERSON.
II. That those in positions of authority who have earned the right to say to
others - "In the sight of the law
"The law supposes that" will look and make supposition that will keep our faith
strong in our system of government.
III. We would encourage you, our guardians of the law, the legal profession, as
you work every day in the continued experiment of guiding those of us being
governed by the actions of the legislative bodies -
of our city
of our county
of our state; and
of the Congress of the U.S.
IV. Yours is a noble task to keep the law from becoming what Sir Archie
McSarcasm, a Scottish type character in a play published in the year 1785, said.
Quote ? "The law is a sort of a hocuspocus science that smiles in your face while it
picks your pockets."
V. Hocuspocus science IS NOT what has made the RULE OF LAW live for 200
years, but the dedicated individuals of American History that have labored long and
who are still working to make it happen.
We would think on these things - Law Day - 1975.
