Our Constitution. which guarantees priceless freedoms to our citizens. sets forth a concept of liberty that has been an inspiration to freedomloving people everywhere. It is. therefore. most fitting to stress the significance of Citizenship Day and Constitution Week. It is the intention by the several proclamations that have been issued by our President and Governor that the observance will honor those youth of native birth. just arrived at voting age (of whom there are approximately 21 million each year) and those from other countries recently naturalized as they accept the rights and privileges of citizenship and begin full participation in the civic and political life of their communities. States and Nation. This observance not only will honor especially these two groups of our citizenry. but will afford an opportunity for all citizens. native born and naturalized. to rededicate themselves to the Ideals and principles upon which this Nation was founded and built. As lawyers we should feel honored to play a part in the observance of this day and week. Judge Hetfield in his Judicial wisdom being mindful of the importance of such a recognition of Citizenship Day and Constitution Week. has set aside a period of time so that a proper observance of this day and week be made by our Courts in Union County and the Members of the Bar.
