The proposal by Assemblyman Forest Hopkins to amend the Electoral Code would create a junior watcher position for youths aged 15 to 18 at general and primary election polls. The editorial notes mixed feelings about crowding and youth involvement and weighs potential impacts on polling hours and voter flow.
The measure before President Carter would authorize credit unions to offer more services including home mortgage loans up to 30 years for primary residences and home improvement and mobile home loans up to 15 years, expanding federal credit union powers for the first time since 1934.
The proposal allows unsecured loans up to 12 years and any amount by credit unions, replacing former limits of 92 500 and five years. It envisions a junior watcher for each candidate in every election, raising staffing needs. Hopkins aims to mobilize youth groups to push the bill, though he quips the kids might resist.
The Carter Administration weighs a renewed extradition bid for Robert Vesco from Costa Rica as he nears eligible citizenship, risking amnesty if not acted before July 1. A prior failed 1973 attempt and a later repeal of the Vesco Law shape U.S. leverage as diplomatic cables reveal Oduber’s shift to act without alienating Figueres. Vesco also anchors a controversy over a Hollywood film and a private think tank tied to defense contractors amid Costa Rican politics.
Corry Pa reports on credit unions winning authorization to offer revolving credit tied to maximum granted limits. The step eases loan access, reduces repeated trips, and supports participation in electronic funds transfer and bank card plans. Observers foresee broader rights, including inter CU lending and real estate loans, with future liquidity funds and ongoing legislative push.
A nostalgic column offers spring cleaning tips from The Peoples' Book of Ready Reference. It covers attic organization, plaster repairs, moth prevention, clothing storage, and bedbug remedies, with cautions about strong chemicals and lengthy processes.
