Thursday, April 8, 1971 THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. Page 3 WASHINGTON REPORT a • THE 18-YEAR OLD VOTE ( bast wo<*k saw the climax of the long debate about whether 18 year olds should be granted the right to 'Vole In all elcxrtlons. Ac tion b> The House of Representa tives created the way for each of the 50 Stale Legislatures to work their will on whether we should add a new amendment to tlie Constitution staruiardizing the minimum ag<* requirement for \otlng. In 1970, the 0>ngre63 passed a bill to lower the voting age to 18 In Federal, State, and local elections, ^y this action, the Con gress undoubtedly hastened final consideration of this national Is sue. However, I had serious res ervations about -the Constitution ality of ithis legislation. In my vi«w, suoh Federal action needed to be aooomipllshed by an amend ment to the Constitution. I had joined as a co-sponsor of an a- mendlment of this kind and de velopments after the hasty action by the Congress laat year bore out lihe fact that the Constitution al amendment route w^as, Indeed, the correct one. The new law was quickly chal- ) TENSION? If you suffer from simple every day nervous tension then you should be taking B.T. tablets for relief.

In Ita decision, the Court ruled favorably on that part of the law which would per mlt l8 year olds to vote In Fed eral elections. On the other hand, the Court struck down that paipt of the law which would have extended the vote to these young people In State andT local eloc- tions. It painted out that this kind of authority reated entirely with the 50 State, jhe Congres sional ax^km and tfhe Court de cision added up ito a confusing situation which, in my opinion, required inunediate consideration of the CoQstltutioizal amendment. No othei choice remained and this llaot prodded the Congre® in to action. Only in flTia way could reasonable be achiev ed. Had the Congress fall^ to a* dopt the resolution or if the re quired % of the 50 State Legis latures 'in the future fail to ap prove it, we will see some strange contortions in the elections of 1972. As things now stand, an 18 year old citizen may vote for the candidate for President of his choice In 1971, but he may not cast his ballot in the contest ifor local sheriff. This same person, in most States, can vote for Unit ed States Senator, but he has no voice in the selection of the gov- ecnor od his Satiate.’ Clearly, this is an absurd situation and must I be oorreicted. If this situation pre vails, we add to the confusion and questions of fairness a sig nificant question of cost. States will be required to main tain two lists of registered voters —one qualified to vote only in elections for Federal offices and one list for older citizens quali fied to vote for all cahdldfttes on the ballot. Separate ballots would be necessary. Voting machines would have to be overhauled and re-designed. Additional election officials would be essential. All these separate procedures would cost considerable amounts of money. The city of New York, alone, ostimaljes that the ohiingG would cost !ii.i million. St. LouL would need to add $2.5 million while the State of Sew Jersey would require an additional $1.5 million to conduct eleotion.s. Most Amerltaas have concluded that our 18 year olds today have the maturity and judgement re quired to participate in election radio and television, they are processes. With the advent o'" very mucli aware of the fast mov ing events in the world and they are called upon 'to serve in the nation’s armed services both vol untarily and Involuntarily. It fol lows logically that they also should have the right to make their views felt at the ballot box —the heart of our representative syatem. The vote of 400-19 in the House of R^esentativea left Ut- Ue doubt a^ut the broad public suppooTt this issue has. Most State Lej^sTSTure.s are in session now and the Congression al action at this time means that Immediate attention can be giv en (to this resolution in the 50 State Capitols. A number of the Legislatures began acting without delay and within several da>-s the proposed amendment had Work Suriace I Should W I RALKIGH—Many healthy young i women don’t n^alize they s<^rrw- j tim<*s feel tired because of the I working conditions in tlieir kltch-, i ens. i I They’ve been trying to fit them i t selves to the height of tlie work; t .surfaces, wlu*n the work surfaces | j .smmld be made to fit them, Char-1 ! lotto Wombl<‘, cxten.sion hoast* 1 I furn'Lshings specialist.

I feel that there Is little doubt that we will see a new amendment to our Constitu tion soon and that Americans in the 18-21 age group will be join ing in the lines at the polls in November, 1972. Womble states. ' For most activities at kitchen! I'ounter.s. a liomemaker needs a' work .surface three inches below! her elbow height.

Therefore, for comfortable work in tht* kitchen, • more than one height work sur- * fire may be desirable, the spe cialist says. i To find elbow height, stand a-! gain.st a wall and liend the arm usually iLs<*d for food work at a right angle. Have someone hold a finger where your elbow touch es and measure that distance from th(» floor. Many persons live in houses tfiat have commercially built cabinets of .standard height; yet, people don’t come in a standard height, IsK Womble .say.s. In fact, the standard 36 inch counter suits only a small proportion of home makers—and then only for cer tain jobs. Inexpen-4lve adjust ments can be made. Height can be added to the counter by putting blocks under the cabinet or adding a platform cm top. Although counters can not be lowered easily, a home maker can find a convenient height elsewhera The bottom of a sink is one lenkins Assigned To Sheppard AFB SAN ANTONIO — Airman Jack | M.
