Y. STRIP STEAKS RICHMOND (AP) Lt. Gov J. Sargeant Reynolds, speaking of the. revised constitution, said luesday's election day provides voters the opportunity "to do sotnethmg of real significance that will alter the course of millions of people for years to come." Reynolds' comments came Monday as part of a rally supporting ratification of the proposed new constitution.

With Reynolds were Gov. Linwood Holton, Atty. Gen. Andrew P. Miller and Speaker of the House John Warren Cooke.

All four men echoed feelings that recent opposition to passage of the document is based on misinformation or a lack of information. The General Assembly separated three questions from the mam body of the constitution dealing with stale lotteries and new bond borrowing limits, on the assumption that these might run into more voter resistance. However, much of the opposition has centered on two provisions within the body of the document regional governments and consolidation of school districts.
