CHAIRMAN WODTKE THEREUPON SIGNED AND ISSUED THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING MAY 1, 1978, LAW DAY U.S.A. I P'RO' CL AMAT TON America was born to be a just society. The U.S. Constitution eloquently voiced this aspiration of the Declaration of Independence. More important, it launched our nation on a search for justice that has been pursued to this day. The judiciary, bar and public must'be constantly vigilant to examine, and reexamine, efforts to improve the administration of justice so that the high goal of "equal justice" can be achieved. As responsible citizens we can, and should, become more aware of the needs and problems of our Courts and legal system and our role ® in support of them. It is fitting, therefore, that on the occasion of the 21st an- nual nationwide observance of LAW DAY U.S.A. on May 1, we, as citizens of this state and nation, reflect on our great heritage and participate in bar association -sponsored community programs in recognition of the special day set aside by Congress and Presidential proclamation. The theme selected for LAW DAY is, The Law: Your Access to Justice. I. WILLIAM C. WODKE, JR., Chairman of the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, do hereby proclaim Monday, May 1, 1978, as LAW DAY U.S.A. in Indian River County, and call upon all citizens of this County to join in its meaningful observance through court visitations, appropriate ceremonies, programs and educational activities.
