Lester Forest, Esq., Associate
Judge of Lynbrook's Village
Court, has been appointed Law
Day Chairman by Mayor Francis

Since 1958, t his day has been set

Judge Forest referred to Law
as a bridge to Justice, and said:
"the way that bridge is con-structed
determines the justice
that is obtained. Each member of
society ~ young as well as old ~
shares in the building of that
bridge.
"Having justice is very much
like having pollution ~ what you
contribute produces what WE
have!
" I n the course of doing
business, even of living life, wo
all need reminders. So on this day
we all can renew our dedication
to Law and hope each day after to
make a personal contribution to
building and maintaining that
bridge to iustice."
