- LAW DAY U.S.A. -
Individual freedom under law is the birthright of all
Americans. Laws and courts exist to protect every citizen in the
rights and privileges he enjoys under our Federal and State Con-
stitutions.
It is this liberty and equality for the individual which
distinguishes our system of government from communism, under which
millions of people are living in slavery. Without laws and courts
the freedoms we often take for granted would be meaningless.
This important truth is to be recognized publicly in a
nation-wide observance of LAW DAY U.S.A. on May 1, 1961. The
citizens of the City of Ocoee have been invited to participate.
The observance will focus public attention on the important part
law has played in America's growth and achievement.
The present state of world affairs makes it especially
fitting that our people should at this time reaffirm their faith
in the rule of law and their determination to strengthen it. This
is both a timely and patriotic observance emphasizing respect for
the law and good citizenship.
NOW, THEREFORE, I JOHN T. MINOR, Mayor of the City of
Ocoee, Florida, do hereby proclaim Monday, May 1, 1961, as LAW DAY
U.S.A. in the City of Ocoee and call upon all citizens, organiza-
tions, and schools to recognize this special day and join in its
observance.
This j l� day of 1 ''
1961.

John T. Minor
Mayor, City of Ocoee
