Pryorpushes law study in schools LITTLE ROCK (Ap) David H. Pryor, gubernatorial hopeful, said Wednesday night that all elementary and secondary school students should be given a "full education" in law and citizenship. "We do not leave fundamental instruction in mathematics unattended until a citizen must figure out his first income tax return," Pryor said. "No one would argue that an understanding of law and an ability to analyze legal issues is less important than an understanding of mathematics." Pryor made the remarks in a speech at Law Day ceremonies at the Arkansas Bar Center. He said schools could provide an important key in motivating youth to participate in the political process.

The 1972 presidential election provided the first test for voters in the 18-to 21-year-old age bracket. Only 40 per cent of the eligible voters in that age group voUl, the lowest rate of any age group, he said. Pryor said that surveys have shown that most Americans have little understanding of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, the laws that affected them daily or the workings of their local, state and federal government. He said a lack of knowledge is an obstacle that prevents the most effective use of the energy and goodwill of the American people in the solution of many of our common problems." Another reason why young Americans need an extensive education in law is that many legal issues go unresolved ause the persons involved didn't consult lawyers, he said.

Many persons don't understand the legal system and therefore are afraid to use it, lYyor said Or. Hoot C.

ORIGINAL'SIN SWANSEA, Waks (AP) Barry Carr was overjoyed when he passed his driving test soon after his 17th birthday the earliest age at which Britons are permitted to drive a car. But when his license arrived, it bore 12 endorsements for a whole array of driving offenses, plus a 28- day driving ban. Police proved sympathetic when it was found a computer at the license office had run wild. "The system has not been for long," said an official there. liuriday.

May 2, Ml Letters fttffiUfi TO Editor the Star; Recentiy 1 had aft ufipleasant experience at a loeai hospital (mast trips to a hospital are unpleasant) but this trip was unusiial in the fact that for two (2) weeks had an opportunity to see the good and the bad of hospital operation. Many times I have heard harsh statements against local doctors, nurses, and hospital staffers. In no way am I attempting to say they are feet, after all they are human beings and subject to make mistakes. But there was one episode I feel the general public would like to know. On April 16,1 met a nurse in Hempstead Memorial Hospital about 9 p.m.

who was frantically trying to find some grated coconut (the kind used in baking cakes) upon questioning the nurse I learned she didn't get off duty until 11 p.m., and it seems she had a patient who was not expected to make it and the patient had a burning desire for some home-made coconut cake. Upon learning of the situation I went out and got the needed items for the nurse, who in turn baked a cake for the lady and returned it to the hospital about 2:30 a.m. Sir, I wish I could report that the patient ate the cake and lived happy ever after, but unfortunately good cake has limited powers. But because of one very fine person on the hospital staff that went way beyond the call of duty, life was made a little happier for a very sick person. This unselfish deed was not done for a member of my family, in fact I do not know the patients name, but I would like to say I am darned happy to live in a community that has nurses and hospital people of this caliber.

I would like to add to my neighbors, please look at both sides of the coin before you criticize our public officials. If you have a long stay in some hospitals out of our state, I believe you will return to Hope and buy a box of candy for all "our local nurses. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST April 29, 1974 Hope, Ark.
