people can’t vote.” She thinks that
the voting age should be 15. Wal

- Shout the President because he
Teally doesn’t do enough about high
prices,” she began. “He’s making
«the economy harder to deal with,
instead of trying to help us, he goes
3cross the country or helps other
^wountries. He should pay more at
tention to this country because we’re

Fred Moore
.Might run himself
• FRED MOORE, another eighth
grader at Carmel, lives on Maiden
St. Of the people interviewed, he had
the most positive things to say about
politicians. “Sometimes they do a
good job,” he asserted. Moore re
vealed he would like to run for office
some time. He won a sixth grade
election and feels that those elect
ed should be responsible enough to
do a good job for those who elect
ed them.
•MARGARET SMITH, a bit older
than the students above, lives on
Rosevine Rd. and works making
windows. For Smith, the President
is the first one who comes to mind at
the word “politics.” She said that
politicians are “dishonest to a cer
tain extent,” and added that there
are “a lot of things they need to be
working on that they aren’t.” Smith
isn’t sure if local politicians are
doing a good job or not. “I’ve been
hearing about the garbage problem
on the news,” she noted, “and I don’t
think we should have to pay 88 for
garbage pick-up.”
