\ f#?o// Call Report * (Your Congressmen's Vote) WASHINGTON -- Here's how area Members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes May 3 through May 9. HOUS Revenue Sharing-By a vote of 190 for and 195 against, the House refused to restore $2.3 billion in/fiscal 1980 budget authority for general revenue sharing. If upheld in later House and Senate action, this vote signals the end ofVevenue sharing, which has sent billions of few-strings-attached\dollars to state and local governments since it was begun inM972. The vote came during debate on a budget resolution (H con Res 107), which was headed for final passage. Rep. Robert Edgar, D-Pa., a supporter of the move to restore the money, said we must not let our desire to balance the federal budget obscure the importance of general revenue sharing..." Rep. Leon Panetta, D-Calif., an opponent, said that "if we are going to control the federal budget, there ought to be no sacred cows." Members voting "nay" supported the House Budget committee's decision to kill general revenue sharing. Rep. Robert McClory, R-13 voted "yea". Rep. John Anderson, R-16, did not vote. Budget Cuts-The House rejected, 198 for and 218 against, a GOP amendment providing for a less expensive budget than the Democratic-controlled House Budget Committee had recommended. The rejected amendment targeted a fiscal 1980 deficit of $18.7 billion (25 percent below the comnyttee target) and a 1980 tax cut of $15 billion. It was offered to a resolution(H Con Res 107) setting the fiscal 1980 budget blueprint to which authorization and appropriation bills are expected to conform. Rep. Ralph Regula, R-Ohio, a sponsor, said that with the Treasury facing annual interest on the national debt of $55 billion to $57 billion, "unless we start pulling back and restraining that cash outlay...the day will come when the budget will be made up entirely of uncontrollables." Rep. Jim Wright, D-Tex., an opponent, said: "I see people on the Republican side laughing. Maybe it is funny. Maybe it is great fun to cut these programs for those who can afford least to be cut. Is that what we are prepared to do?" Members voting "yea" favored the budget cuts. McClory and Anderson voted "yea". Food Stamps-The House rejected, 147 for and 276 against, an amendment to cut about $650 million from the $7 billion fiscal 1980 authority for the Food Stamp program. The vote came on H Con Res 107 (see above votes), which set a non-binding ceiling to which later spending bills are expected to conform. Rep. Thomas Coleman, R-Mo., the sponsor, said: "If only half of the waste and error in food stamp management and administration was eliminated there would be a cost savings in the neighborhood of at least $650 million." Rep. Mike McCormack, D-Washin., an opponent, said that debate on the overall budget blueprint "is not the time or place to be attempting to do the work of the standing committees of this House." Members voting "nay" opposed the cut in Food Stamp budget authority. McClory voted "yea". Anderson did not vote. SENATE Beware Of Booze-The Senate rejected, 21 for and 68 against, an attempt to table language to require a health warning to be printed on bottles of alcoholic beverages containing more than 24 percent alcohol by volume. This vote kept the language alive. The warning would read: "Caution: consumption of alcoholic beverages may be hazardous to your health, may be habit-forming, and may cuase serious birth defetcs when consumed during pregnancy." The vote came during debate on S 440, a bill funding federal alcohol-control programs that was passed and sent to the House. Sen. Walter Huddleston, D-Ky., a supporter of the motion to kill the language, said: "Obviously, just a warning on the lable has not proved effective on other products", such as cigarets. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., sponsor of the warning, said "the people of our nation deserve to be warned of the addictive nature of alcohol and the risks to health and life created by excessive drinking". Senators voting "yea" were opposed to requiring a warning label on bottles containing strong alcoholic beverages. Sen. Adlai Stevenson, D, voted "yea". Sen. Charles Percy, R, did not vote. Gas Rationing- By a vote of 58 for and 39 against, the Senate adopted a resolution (S res 120) giving President Carter standby authority to ration gasoline nationwide if he determines there is a fuel-shortage emergency. Congress must consent to any rationing order. Vehicles in states which historically have had the highest volume of gasoline sales per registered vehicle would fare best under the Administration proposal. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., a supporter, said "we have to be prepared in the event a national emergency hits this country." Sen. John Melcher, D-Mont., an opponent, said senators should be not "rubberstamping a plan which, if it is ever put into effect, will be a monumental failure, a scheme that is entirely unworkable." Senators voting "yea" wanted'the President to have standby authority to ration gasoline. Percy and Stevenson voted "yea". PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MAY 23, figO The Law Serves You Part-Time Jobs For Students With summer vacation fast approaching, the thoughts of many young people will turn to prospects of summer em­ ployment. For minors under the age of 16 years of age, however, there are certain regulations imposed by child labor laws which must be followed. The Illinois State Bar association offers the following information for young job seekers. Minimum Age and Employment Certificate As a general rule only those minors between ages 14 and 16 may obtain an employment certificate and then only for jobs outside school hours and during school vactions. Exceptions to the General Rule There is no age limit, nor do you need an employment certificate for delivering ^71?

This exception therefore incorporates jobs like babysitting, lawn mowing, house cleaning, etc., and all you need do is convince a potential employer you are capable of handling the responsibility. There are two other jobs which do not require an em­ ployment certificate and have a lower age requirement. For certain jobs associated with agriculture, you need be 10 years or older to work during school vacations or outside of school hours. The second ex­ ception is the job of caddying. The law permits minors 13 years or older to engage in this kind of work. Limitation on Hours and Type of Job Limitations on the hours a minor can work during the summer vacation are as follows: minors under the age of 16 are limited to six con­ secutive days in any one week; 48 hours in one week; 8 hours in any one day; and can work only between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Of special importance are the limitations on the kind gf work in which minors may engage. The limitations are intended to protect young people from becoming involved with dangerous or hazardous jobs. Among the jobs the law specifies as hazardous are jobs in filling stations, jobs in or a r o u n d p o w e r - d r i v e n machinery, and jobs in or about establishments which sell, serve, or manufacture alcoholic liquors. Check with the Illinois Department of Labor if you are uncertain about a particular job you have in mind. Obtaining An Employment Certificate Certificates can be obtained from the office of the superintendent of the education service region or at the office of the local board of education Before a certificate can be issued you must bring with you a statement from the principal of your school that you are enrolled as a student, proof that you have had a recent physical exam, a birth certificate, a letter of consent from your parents and a letter from your prospective employer stating his or her intent to employ you. One last item of interest: your employment certificate is not transferable from one job 10 another. With each new job you must obtain a new certificate.
