respect for law week
Respect For Law
Week, an annual ob-
--ser-vanr-e.- sponsored. by
the Optimist club of
Clinton has been
• proclaimed by Mayor
Harold Lobb of Clinton.
The dates of this 'ob-
servance, May 1-7, were
selected to focus upon the
related year-round ac-
tivities of this 135,000
member voluntaryr,
service organization.
Through the Respect For
Law program, Optimist
clubs in the United States
and Cana, cia have been
exerting positive
leadership by en-
couraging citizens to
become actively involved
in combatting crime.
According to the
Optimists, the first. step
in creating a climate in
which respect for law can
exist is through
establishing. full co-
operation between
citizens and their local
law enforcement officers.
In areas where this co-
operation has been ac-
complished, a
measurable decrease in
the rate of crime has been
noted.
Optimist Inter-
national's RespectFor
Law program was
initiated in reaction to
_public,„apathy toward the
increasing iiroblems of
crime. Since that time,
Optimist cubs and other
civic groups throughout
the United States and
Canada have become
actively involved in
programs and projects to
combat disrespect for
law and public apathy
toward crime.

The Optimists are
quick to point out their
program. does not reflect
a blanket endorsement of
the practices and per-
sonnel of all law en-
forcement agencies —
but does emphasize..,the
need for citizens to
demand. good law en-

possible way.
Joe Atkinson, president
of the Optimist Club of
Clinton, has stated the
club will be observing
Respect For Law Week
