KILMARNOCK—The week of September 17-23 recognized the annual national celebration of Constitution Week. This observance was proposed by the national organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1955, was passed by Congress as Public Law #915 in 1956 and was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Cobbs Hall Chapter members have distributed educational materials to public and private schools in the area…
