Stamford Girl Scouts
In need of funds are the local Girl Scout and Brownie troops. Local
businessmen and civic clubs have been generous with donations of
lockers, kitchen facilities and tables and chairs but contributions
received from the United Way will be used for further repairs and
sponsoring of more troops.
Girl Scout troops are available in Stamford for girls in grades first
through seventh. With support from the United Way, scouting in Stam-
ford should continue to grow and provide a worthwhile learning ex-
perience and just plain fun for local girls says a Girl Scout official.
VIP Community Confer library
A growing part of the Stamford community is the VIP Community
Center. Although the local group of senior citizens has drawn on their
own efforts and a helping hand from the community to make their ac-
tivities become realities, aid from the United Way is also needed.
The VIPs plan to use their portion of United Way contributions to
begin a library area for the visually handicapped at the Center. Site
manager Linda Martin says the Center hopes to purchase recorded
books and large print books in Spanish and English. Cassette players
and headphones are needed for the recorded materials.
Also needed are easy chairs-that do not rock--and reading lamps for
the library area. ,
The Center, through this effort and others, provides activities and a
Vibt, nutritional meal each day for the city’s senior citizens.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
There is no right more basic to
Americana or to any citizen of
any democracy than the right
to vote.
The distribution of eligible
voters within a society
defines, to a considerable ex-
tent, the degree of democracy
In that society. In recognition
of this, the Framers of the
American Constitution gave
considerable attention to the
question.
While they were clear that
voting was of importance Just
who was to have the right to
cast a vote for a federal of-
ficial waa less obvloua.
Basically, the statea wore
recognized as having the
primary reaponaibility for
determining voting qualifica-
tions subject to specific limita-
tions set forth In the Constitu-
tion.
There can be no doubt, wo
admit sadly, that many statea
abdicated their reeponaibility
in this regard, using a variety
of qualifications, including
