Services will be held in the Jo
anna Club House on Milton Road.

In celebrating Industrial Ca
reer Day at Bell Street, on last

as guests representatives from
various industries.
Calvin Conway served as Mas
ter of Ceremonies. Scripture and
invocation were given by Rene
Knighton, after which Mrs. A. R.

Sen. Long Favors
Lowering Voting Age
BY JIMMY BOYLSTON
Legislative Correspondent
Sen. John D. Long favors low
ering the voting age to 18 in
South Carolina.
“lam in favor of extending the
right to vote to 18-year-olds pro
vided we attach the liabilities and
responsibilities that are now ac
corded a person upon reach
ing 21,” Sen. Long said last week.
These rights a4d responsibili
ties would include allowing 18-
year-olds the /ight to enter into
legally binding contracts and
would make an 18-year-old sub
ject to law suits.
Long said he favors extending
the responsibilities as well as the
rights.
The House passed by a 90 to 17
vote last week a bill which would
allow 18-year-olds to vote
provided it is approved by the vot
ers in the November general
election. The House bill also ex
tends legal rights fully to 18 year
olds.
The measure was expected to
come before the Senate early this
week.
Reps. Paul Culbertson and Da
vid Taylor, both of Laurens Coun
ty, were among those who voted
against the lowering of the voting
age to 18.
Both Culbertson and Taylor
noted that lowering the voting age
to 18 would make 18-year-olds
liable for jury duty. Rep. Taylor
said he felt jury duty would be
disruptive to a student’s school
activity.
On April 28th, Presbyterian
College is hosting the P. C. Jun
ior Fellows and their guidance
counselors for a program of
orientation and entertainment.
The P.C. Junior Fellows from
Bell Street High are Henry Motes
and Rene Knighton. This is a dis
tinct honor, because this award
is based on the outstanding high
school academic achievements
during the 2 1/2 years in high
school. This is to recognize
classroom accomplishments and
to encourage the continued pur
suit of exceUence.
Youth Rally
A youth rally will be held at
the Fire Baptize Holiness Church
on Beauregard St. on Sunday,
April 26 beginning at 2:30 p.m.
The public is invited to come
hear the speakers and participate
in the singing.
Only Five
Only five planets were
known to ancient astrono
mers — Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
No one knew that the earth
was a planet until the early
1500s, when Copernicus
showed that the sun was the
center of the solar system
and that the earth revolved
around it.
Juvenile
Quarters
Discussed
The speaker at the April 16th
meeting of Mountville Grange was
Calvin Bridges, Civil andFamily
Court Judge of Laurens County.
This Court was organized in
1951 and Robert L. Gray was ap
pointed as the first Judge and he
served for 18 years. At that time
it was known as the Laurens
County Domestic Court.
In June 1969 Calvin Bridges
was appointedJudge and the Court
was renamed the Civil and Fami
ly Court of Laurens County. Ci
vil cases involving up to $20,-
000 are heard before this Court,
which also has jurisdiction over
divorce, child custody, adoption
and juvenile delinquency.
Provision was made to have the
court held in the County Court
House for the first time.
Last June the Court was given
the services of two probation of
ficers and it also works closely
with the Dept, of Public Wel
fare.
Since last June the number of
cases heard has more than doub
led due in part to all of the non
support cases being heard in this
Court instead of the Criminal
Court. Many times when cases
were being tried in the Criminal
Court the women had to wait for
almost three months before they
were awarded support because
the Court was not in session,
but with the Family Court the
cases are often heard the same
week as the complaint. No one is
turned away because they cannot
afford to hire a Lawyer.
At the present time there is no
separate place for juvenile of
fenders and they must be placed
in the same cell as hardened
criminals. Cases involving ju
veniles are closed to the public.
Application has been made for
a Federal grant to provide funds
for mobile type dormitories f< r
juveniles with cottages for ttie
caretakers on property of the
County Home.
It is the hope of the C unty
Delegation and Judge Calvin
Bridges that the dormitories will
be the solution of the problem f
providing a suitable place for
juvenile delinquents
