In addition to Farley, Outstand- ing Democrats from West Virginia's other counties were honored at the Dinner, held at the Charleston Civic Center on Aug. 11. According to Left Moore, Chairman of the Putnam County Democratic Executive Com- mittee and Coordinator of the Fifth Annual Democrat Awards, honorees were selected who had distinguished themselves by extraordinary work for their local political parties. He indicated that the honorees had, as individuals, "demonstrated their support for the philosophy and ide- als of the Democratic Party" and noted that they were recognized and honored for their service and hard work on behalf of the Democrat Party. =Elections are the cornerstone of our Democracy," Moore said, "and Mrs. Farley is one of the keystones of the election process." Each of the honorees, after being introduced to the hundreds of Party leaders from throughout W. Va., was photographed with his or her Con- gressman, Senator Rockefeller and Governor Gaston Caperton in honor of the event. Governor Caperton spoke of the honorees in glowing terms and pointed out that he would not be governor today if it were not for the efforts of Party faithful like those honored at the Dinner. The selection of Farley was an- nounced to state leaders by Sum- mers County Democratic Party offi- cials, whom Moore said were lavish in their praise for Mrs. Farley."These SENIOR NEWS Activities at the Hinton Senior Center Located on the corner of Second Ave. and Summers St. Partially funded by the W.
