Law Day USA
Thursday, May 1
The theme for the 1969 annual
observance of Law Day USA, to
day, Thursday, May 1, is: “Jus ;
tice and Equality Depend Upon
Law—and YOUT’
The theme was selected for
its timeliness. In a period of pub
lic disorders and rising crime,
- -strained race relations and so
j: - ibial unrest, it reminds Ameri
cans that equal justice involves
-both law and the attitudes of in
'individual citizens. It recognizes
* that while standards of justice
:• are formalized in laws, the
g' achievement depends in substan
^Vtial measure upon the willing
js ness of the individual to accept
I .-that concept and to apply it to
’
^•his daily life.
- The four-fold objectives of Law
Kbay USA are: (1.) To foster
^respect for law and understand
\. 'ing of its essential place in
American life; (2.) To encourage
’. citizen support of law observ
ance and law enforcement; (3.)
£ To advance equality and justice
j under law; and (4.) To point up
ib.-ihe contrast between freedom
under law in the United States
£ and governmental tyranny under
communism.

day,” but rather an occasion for
honoring the place of law in A

1958. Americans of all ages are
being made more aware of the
place of law intheir livesthrough
the actions of those who enforce
social justice which is described
as law and the nationwide observ

the endorsement of more than 15
major national organizations a
mong these are the National

Library News
Everyone is familiar with the
sterotype of the librarian: she’s
a she, wears a long, unfashion
able dress, and sits at a desk
in view of all library users
with a crabbed look upon her
face. Today’s librarians fight
hard to combat the stereotype.
Whatever the librarian might
have been in the past, today
she or he is an involved, up
to-date, smiling individual with
enough get-up-and-go to tackle
almost anything.
In turn, the libraries are a
ware, involved, full of excite
ment, as pertinent as the head
lines. Librarians tend to prove
how the old "image” could not
possibly exist in the outreaching
library of today.
Consider these four titles from
recently acquired non-fiction.
The subjects covered show how
libraries are meeting the
interests of today's patrons.

Retirement Party
Puckett Lodge was the scene
of great activity Monday night
as the Staff and Board of the Early
County Department of Family and
Children Services entertained
Mrs. Iva J. Herring, who is re
tiring from this Department on
April 30.
Tnis affair, a combination
birthday and retirement party for
•Mrs. Herring, was patterned
along the lines of "This is Your
Life,” the once popular TV show.
Mrs. A. D. Wilkerson, Director
of the Department, was narra
tor, and staff members, board
members, and their guests were
kept in stitches as numerous
events were told, particularly
those pertaining to her exper
iences as a Caseworker. Mrs.
Herring first joined the local
agency in November, 1939;
worked during the Welfare De
partment’s infancy, has endured
and enjoyed all the “growing
pains” of the Agency and now
feels that since the trend is
toward services the client will
be helped more than formerly
when there was a money pay
ment only.
She recalled the times that
SPA checks were mailed to the
local office in one big envelope,
and were handed out on check
day by workers sitting in the
lower part of the Early County
courthouse.
She has seen the staff grow
from three workers to thirteen,
and headquarters changed from
the courthouse to the County
Office Building, and to a spa
cious modern building where it
is now housed.
A delicious barbecued ham
dinner was most attractively pre
pared and served.
Staff and Board members pre
sented Mrs. Herring with a lovely
engraved Silver Bowl as a token
of their love and appreciation.
Sie graciously accepted the bowl
expressing her appreciation for
the kindnesses and consideration
shown her during her years in
th Agency and promised she
would always be interested in
the Department in all phases.

Home Canning
Can Be
Rewarding
BY NANCY WHITE, NEW HOPE
4-H CLUB
Home canning can be a highly
rewarding experience • .. econo
mically, creatively and per
sonally satisfying. When the jars
of fresh fruits and vegetables
you have put up during the season
are all lined up ready to heat and
serve. The foods are there,
at your fingertips, to feed your
family and friends. For utmost
canning efficiency and enjoyment,
here are some helpful tips. 1.
Start planning several weeks in
advance of the canning season.
2. Decide the size and types of
jar needed. 3. Check equipment
and utensils needed. 4. There
are no safe cuts in canning. Avoid
all "trick” methods such as
"blanket,” "cold water,” "vine
gar-sugar-salt”, "canning pow
ders”, etc. 5. Select right foods
for canning. 6. Wash, drain and
prepare only enough produce for
a canner load. 7. Process by the
recommended methods. 8. Set
jars upright, far apart out of a
draft to cool. 9. Remove band
about 12 hours after canning.
If dome center of lid is down,
or Stays down, when pressed,
jar is properly sealed. 10.
Store the jars without bands in
a dark, cool, dry area. Home
canned foods will keep for many
years.
Damascus 4-H er
Gives Facts on
Dog Registration
BY KIM SETTLES, DAMASCUS
4-H CLUB
America's dog population has
grown along with America. Sur
veys show that, today, more than
one out of every three families
owns a dog, and many families
own more than one dog. The esti
mated dog population is between
28 and 30 million.
The American Kennel Club is
currently registering over a half
million dogs every year. About
50,000 dogs are registered by
other registration bodies. This
means that well over a million
pure-breds are registered year
ly.
If your dog is eligible for regis
tration, have it registered im
mediately, else you may regret
it later.
With most registration bodies,
a dog cannot be registered unless
its sire and dam have been regis
tered, and unless the litter in
which it was born has also been
registered. The breeder usually
gives the buyer an "application
to register a puppy from a regis
tered litter.”
If the puppy is registered,
you will get a registration certi
ficate- Then have the dog trans
ferred to your ownership. If you
don’t do this, the dog will always
be listed as belonging to some
one else.
If you are buying a purebred
dog, be sure to get the papers
for it, then register it immedi
ately. The breeder will give you
an application to register the
puppy, or a certificate or regis
teration.
Customer: "I sure don’t like
all of these flies I”
Waiter: “You pick out the
ones you like, and I’ll kill the
rest.”
