Registration Is Slated
Selective Service registration
for men born in 1962 will take
place during the week of Jan.
5th. Men born in 1963 (and
later) should register within 30
days of their 18th birthdays.
This is a continuation of the
program begun last summer,
whereby men born in 1960 and
1961 visited post offices across
the nation to fill in the registra
tion form.
Local men can register at
Kings Mountain Post Office.
The purpose of registration is
to build a pool of names and ad
dresses from which Selective Ser
vice could draw in an emergen
cy.
According to Dr. Bernard D.
Rostker, Director of the Selec-
tive Service System: “Registra
tion directly improves our
capability to respond ... actually
reducing lead time by at least
four weeks. We think that pro
vides a significant advantage,
especially when matched with
the very low cost of the registra
tion effort.” The direct costs of
registration are less than $2 per
registrant.
Who must register? Male
citizens and aliens residing in the
United States born in 1960,1961
or 1962 except those on student
or similar visas or who are
members of trade or diplomatic
missions, and men already serv
ing on active duty with the Arm
ed Forces. Members of reserve
components not on active duty
must register. Men born in 1963
and later years will be required
to register within 30 days of their
18th birthdays.
When? Men bom in 1962:
during the week of Jan. Sth. To
help avoid lines, indivdiuals are
encouraged to register on a day
of the week keyed to the month
of birth: on Mon., Jan. S, for
those born in January, February
and March; on Tues., Jan. 6, for
those bom in April, May and
The first representative as
sembly in Anwrica convened
at Jamestown, Virginia, July

June; on Wed., Jan. 7, for those
born in July, August and
September; and on Thurs., Jan.
8, for those born in October,
November and December. Fri
day and Saturday may be used as
“make-up” days for those who
are unable to register on the sug
gested day.
Men born in 1963: within 30
days of their 18th birthdays.
Men born in 1960 and 1961
should already have registered
this year; those who have not are
encouraged to do so as soon as
possible.
Where? At any of more than
34,500 U.S. Post Offices
throughout the nation, or at em
bassies or consular offices
New Year’s
Resolutions
By JIM BROYHILL
As individuals, we often make
resolutions for the New Year. As
elected public officials, we
should do the same.
I I have long felt it important to
'make my resolutions public since
they will affect the daily lives of
all of our people.
This is especially true if
enough members of the Con
gress make the same resolutions
I do, and then we will be able to
transact these resolutions into
law.
In recalling the resolutions
which 1 have made in the past, 1

cannot help but realize the
challenges facing us as a nation
in 1981 are much the same as in
some past years. This proves that
problems are not solved over
night, but it also emphasizes the
need for us to make substantial
progress in 1981.
The resolutions which we now
make for 1981 are especially im
portant becuse the political and
governmental leadership in our
nation’s capital is undergoing a
dramatic change. For the first
time in 25 years, the Senate will
be controlled by the Republican
Party, as well as the White
House. Democrats retain control
of the House, but by a much
slimmer margin than in recent
history. It is conceivable that an
informal conservative coalition
will be able to control most votes
in the House.
Heading the list of my per
sonal resolutions, as a member of
the Congress, is a strong desire to
improve the economy of this na
tion. Never in modern history
has our economy been in such
terrible shape. Inflation, high
unemployment, unbelievably
high interest rates, record high
taxes, and a national debt near
ing the one trillion dollar mark
-all these economic statistics very
clearly show that the future of
this country is in peril.
Americans cannot afford to pur
chase homes, cars, or even
smaller items. But most impor
tant of all, the confidence of the
people in the ability of govern
ment to solve our economic
headaches needs to be improved.
I resolve to work diligently for
a tax cut, coupled with reduced
spending by government. I am
weary of hearing people in
Washington say we cannot
reduce taxes because it would
hurt the battle against inflation.
All one has to do is to look at our
current high-taxing and high-
spending policies to see that they
have not worked. It’s past time
to try a different approach.
Equally important is the need
for government to change its tax
policies so productivity can be
increased. Business and industry
must be given the incentives to
expand, to modernize, and to
provide jobs for all our people
who really desire to work for a
living. It is time for the govern
ment to stop putting millions on
the payroll to decrease
unemployment. Instead, we
should provide private enterprise
with incentives to accomplish
the same goal.
It is also vitally important that
we work hard to improve our ex
port markets for American-made
products across the world. This
is crucial to our balance-of-trade
deficit problem, and it is also
necessary to help improve
economic conditions for
American businesses, both large
and small.
The Congress should also
resolve to strengthen our
military. We must make
volunteer service in the military
more attractive for men and
women. We must not only pay
them well, but we must also
make sure they have the quality
and quantity of equipment and
supplies second to none.
Progress is being made in the
drive to make American energy
independent, but government
needs to do more to encourage
exploration and productions in
this country instead of making
foreign nations rich at our ex
pense.
And, finally, each member of
Congress needs to conduct
himself in such a way that the
confidence of the American peo
ple in this great institution will
be restored. The office members
of Congress hold is a public trust
which should never be betrayed.
