That was the indication Sunday at the dedication and grand opening of the Harry J. Olson Senior Citizens Center, 1607 North St Mrs. Esther Keilholtz, center director, said more than 1,000 persons registered during the day.

The coffee pot in a tent was a popular gathering place for the shivering crowd which braved brief rain-snow conditions. Lt Gov. Martin Schreiber and U.S. Rep. Alvin Bald us, D-Meno-monie, were unable to be present But that didn't stop the show.

The First part of the program, leading to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, was held on the steps of the center, which used to be Bethany Evangelical Free Church.

He wants to be available to help his constituents with their problems, to be a person in Madison who knows how to weed through the bureaucracy to get answers. It seems to me that what we need in dealing with bureaucracy is someone who really knows exactly what the agencies do, who to contact in them when there is a problem, LeGrand said. Forer said he would "endeavor to keep closely in touch with the people who elected me to the office.

While in La Crosse I will make myself available for people to talk to me, to see me and tell me any gripes they may have. Forer is a lifelong resident of La Crosse.

Most of the trees in those, ares were in full bloom when the freeze started. Most severely affected were cherries and plums, he said.

A new member of the La Crescent Township board is being accused of conflict of interest And the accusation is to be discussed Tuesday night at the board's meeting.

Donald Haefs, a La Crescent excavating contractor elected to the board March 9, was cited for the conflict by Kenneth Tschum-per, a R. 1, La Crescent farmer. Haefs works for his father, Hans, of Haefs Contracting of La Crescent Tschumper says Haefs does concrete and excavation work for residents in the township. As a town board member, Haefs, said Tschumper, has a potential conflict of interest in many of the zoning decisions made by the Town Board. In a newspaper column, Tschumper called on Haefs to resign from the board.

Tim Murphy, lawyer for the township, said in a letter to the board that Haefs perhaps poses a conflict of interest. He quoted Minnesota Statute 365.37: No supervisor, town clerk or town board shall become party to, or be directly or indirectly interested in any contract made or payment voted by the town board.

Roger LeGrand Warriors Baton and Drum Corps. A native of Milwaukee, LeGrand studied for the priesthood but left the seminary to complete his undergraduate work at St. Louis University. He has a law degree from UW-Madison and came to La Crosse last summer to set up a private practice. LeGrand served in VLSTA and in the Peace Corps.

During law school he worked as a law clerk at the Wisconsin Department of Justice, and later at Lawton and Cates, a Madison law firm. He is an instructor of business law at the UW-La Crosse and Western Wisconsin Technical Institute. Forer is the brother of AFL-CIO Council chairman David Forer. He said, however, that he does not expect much help from his brother. We do differ in areas of our political thinking, Forer said.

But we are not going to be political or family enemies. Maybe he is not going to endorse me, but he will stand by me in this decision. The challenge of the future, LeGrand said, is to "honor the commitments that we have made to progressive policies in the fields of education, recreation, transportation, labor and social services. Those challenges have to be met, he said, while the cost of government is held down. Costs can be held down by evaluating current programs.

Legislators have to look behind the budget numbers and find out exactly what our money is being used for," LeGrand said. Forer said a conservative approach to government is needed now. Even the liberal element of society has become aware of what some of the liberal ideas of the past have done to the country and to the state. This element is ready now to change for a more conservative line, he said. It is time to go back to the basics.

LeGrands wife, Sondra, is a special education teacher at Holmen High School. Forers wife, Barbara, is employed in the Lutheran Hospital library. The For-ers have three sons.

nexation problem. Among those: The town tax rate is half as much as the city rate. Campbell residents have a mill rate of 5 mills, while the rate for La Crosse is 10.938 mills. Even if the residents annex to La Crosse, they would still have to pay their sewer assessment, which has already been made and attaches to the property. An annual sewer use charge would still have to be paid, even if the area annexes.

According to Benson, The utility district is a separate entity and would continue to use tax would continue to be paid by such resident in addition to his city taxes, and it would continue to increase as the city increased its charges. The assessment charged to residents for the new Campbell sewer project is not excessive, and any extra costs are due to the citys now allowing airport property to be assessed and demanding expensive cast iron pipes. Town residents are in the process of trying to incorporate into the Village of French Island, Benson said. He expressed confidence that the town citizens continue to support this action rather than any piecemeal amputation of part of the town into the city of La Crosse. This fact is amply demonstrated by a recent referendum ballot favoring incorporation into a village form of independent government by an 83 per cent vote of 818 to 158, Benson said.

'inn wmn ir7' Spinal research progress report Thar hove been a lot of comments pro end con about chiropractic. Soma wear by it. Some swear at it. An interesting difference in the two groups is that a large percentage of those In favor of chiropractic have been unsuccessfully treated by other healing arts practitioners and later found better health through chiropractic. The anti-chiropractic forces claim there is nd scientific basis for this form of health care.

Now that is changing, too. A program of spinal research at the University of Colorado promises to provide the scientific basis. For example, chiropractic is based on the premise that a vertebra that has been bumped or jarred out of its normal position will Interfere with the functions of the nerve or nerves that extend out from between the vertebrae and this in turn will affect the body organs served by the nerves. The Colorado research reveals that a compression of the spinal roots by a balloon using only 20 to 40 millimeters of pressure (this is roughly the same as very gently pressing a finger on the back of your hand) reduces the ability of the nerve to function normally by about 60! The spin Is an accident-prone mechanism in the body, and any deviations from the norm can have far-reaching effects on health. Keeping the spin as it should be so the body can be healthy normally Is what chiropractic it all about, ora ESI.
