MARY LEE THOMPSON
.* Do you sometimes get the
feeling there’s nobody around
fhese days but 19-year-olds?
Does it seem as though adver-
tising only plays up to the
young, and politicians are out
|o win the youth vote, and
even music and art are cre-
ated only for the teen set?
| Well, if you’re around the
40 mark, take heart. Youth is
not going to take over ©ur so-
ciety. Richard M. Scammon,
author of “The Real Major-
ity” and an expert on Ameri-
can voting habits, refutes the
claim that the balance of po-
litical power has been dras-
tically altered by the young.
I “The average age of the
American voter in 1972 will
be around 44 or 45,” he says,
rl f anyone tells you that 25
million potential electors are
under 25, which is true, you
can reply that more than 50
pillion are over 50, which is
jilso true.”
j Not only are there twice as
many people over 50 as there
|re under 25 in the voting
j?roup, but people in the mid-
pie and older years tend to
turn out in greater numbers
at the polls. Some 70 to 75 per-
cent vote at the age of 50,
fvhere only 45 to 50 percent
jturn out at age 21. So, middle-
hge Americans have substan-
tial clout.
| The real question, however,
is not whether you have po-
litical power but how you use
it. Fortunately, most mature
voters do study the records
and keep up with current
Invents. They listen to speeches
jand write their congressmen
to let him know their opinions,
f “Your ballot box is painted
Ired, white, and blue, and it’s
parked U.S. MAIL,” wrote
^Congressman Morris K. Udall
jpf Arizona in a letter to his
constituents. He and other
congressmen need to know
(how you would like to see
^things done. After all, it’s
jjrour tax dollars they’re spend-
ing, and you can help to shape
land control America’s future

It almost looks as if the bi-colored flowers of the new Circus
petunia were going ’round and ’round. Salmon-tinted red centers
of petals are edged with white.
A circus means rings and swirling, twirling colorful figures in
them. The new Circus petunia gives the effect of rings and
movement without really having either.
A 1972 All-America Selections bronze medalist, Circus has
frilly, 3 Vi to 4 inch wide flowers with bi-colored petals, the
centers rose-red with a salmon tinge, the edges white.
It must be the placement of the petals that gives the swirling
effect for, actually, the colors are quite evenly divided on each
individual petal. The blossoms, also, are evenly distributed over
the compact plants.
The hybrid vigor bred in this variety shows in the dense foliage.
Unusual compactness, rarely over a foot high or more than 2
feet wide, and a basal branching habit are characteristics of the
plants.
Circus is a grandiflora petunia, freer flowing than many other
double varieties. A pot filled with Circus becomes an instant focal
point in the garden and a solid bed of Circus is a real dazzler.
