George D. Clyde signed a proclamation desig-nating April II to 6 as "Know Your County Governwent Week." Even though county government is the oldest form of government and that government which is felt to be closest to all of the people, it soems to be the level least under-stood and has even been referred to as the "dark continent of Amer-ican government." It is felt that a better understand-ing of county affairs will promote better cooperation between the peo-ple and their elected county offic-ials and increase the efficiency of new and old departments and of-fices necessary to provide the nu-merous services needed by the peo-ple of the counties. "Open House" will be held all week in each of the 29 counties and we wish to urge all citizens to visit the court house and other county facilities of interest during that time. Civic clubs, schools and other interested group are invited to use county officials as speakers and to organize group tours of the court house and other county facilities. s v ..
