He added: "The voters have done my family and me a great personal favor. What they have done for themselves has yet to be determined.

Democrat Edward Kennedy announces Wednesday, followed Thursday by Democrat Edmund G. Brown and next week by Republican Ronald Reagan. Municipal elections traditionally provide an off-year test of voter sentiment.

Democrats control most city governments, and slippage there is generally taken as a bellwether of things to come. Mississippi and Kentucky also were considered important because of 1980 presidential implications. Both were key to President Carters election in 1976, Republican control of their state machinery in.J980 could cause problems for any Democratic nominee.

PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) School administrators werent pleased when lOth-grader Linda Heath passed out a questionnaire on teen-age sexuality, so she spent her 15th birthday on suspension.

Petersburg High School, asked students to respond anonymously to questions such as: Do you feel there is pressure to have sex? Are you a virgin? Would you consider abortion? Is contraception necessary? Do you believe in premarital sex? Miss Heath, who served the one-day suspension Monday, said she would appeal. She said she had misunderstood the administrations denial of permission for teachers to distribute the questionnaire in their classes to mean she could pass it out herself. She said the issue was important to teen-agers, noting the schools guidance department told her 13 students became pregnant last year and seven pregnancies had been reported at the school so far this year. 40 Figures show high temperatures for area. from 80 William Green Green.
