Women's State Caucus
Names Marcella Stein
KIMBERLY LIFTON
Staff Writer
M
arcella Stein of
Southfield believes
1992 will be the
year of the woman.
"If we can't get going this
year, we never will," said
Mrs. Stein, 55, executive
secretary for the
Metropolitan Detroit Optical
Society and newly appointed
Democratic co-chair for the
Michigan Women's Political
Caucus. "When you look
around and see how many
men are politically active,
you just want to see mare
women involved in it."
Affiliated with the Na-
tional Women's Political
Caucus, the local section has
not been as visible as the na-
tionally prominent caucus.
But Mrs. Stein and long-
time Republican member
Barbara Labadie hope to
change that status.
First on Mrs. Stein's agen-
da was installing a phone
line for the Caucus in her
home, (357-5805). Second
was printing business cards.
Now she hopes to boost
membership, currently at
150 in Michigan, and plan a
major fund raiser.
As the political arm of the
women's movement, the
caucus is the only national
membership organization
dedicated to the election and
appointment of women to po-
litical office.
The caucus raises money
for women candidates runn-
ing for positions ranging
from school board to the
Capitol, from the statehouse
to the White House.
Mrs. Labadie, a Southfield-
based management consul-
tant, said "the timing is
right" for this organization
to prosper. "The crime is not
to address the need for wo-
men in politics.
"We need women in Wash-
ington to protect our health
and welfare," Mrs. Labadie
said. MWPC, like the na-
tional organization, is non--
partisan — committed to
equal rights and oppor-
tunities for everyone.
Mrs. Stein cautions that
although women are the
majority of the United
States population, they corn-
prise just 4 percent of the
U.S. Congress and 14 per-
cent of all state legislatures.
"I like this because it is
working for the candidates,"
Mrs. Stein said. "That is
very important."
She has always been inter-
ested in women's political
causes. Over the years, Mrs.
Stein has provided grass-
roots support for some wo-
men political candidates.
She served on the board of
the Michigan Abortion
Rights Action League for
three years.
"Women are madder than
hell and are going to do
something about it," Mrs.
Stein said. "This is the year
of the woman."
The caucus' goal is many-
fold, working to elect female
candidates who want to
achieve:
• Pay equity.
• Access to adequate and
affordable day care.
• Enactment and enforce-
ment of laws against dis-
crimination in employment,
insurance, education, hous-
ing and credit.
• The unconditional right
to reproductive choice.
• The Equal Rights
Amendment.
• Protection against
spousal abuse and other
crimes of violence.
• Social security, marital
property, inheritance and
child support laws that do
not discriminate against
women. ❑

Chiropractic Health Hints
WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.
BRITISH RESEARCHERS SHOW
CHIROPRACTIC MORE EFFECTIVE
In this study made by the Medical Research Council, chiroprac-
tic treatment was shown to be more effective than hospital outpa-
tient management. The results were especially significant for patients
with chronic or severe back pain. This is one of the only studies that
demonstrates the effectiveness of chiropractic care on a long-term
basis. As the abstract states: "Conclusions — For patients with low
back pain in whom manipulation is not contradicted, chiropractic
almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefit in comparison
with hospital outpatient management. The benefit is seen mainly in
those with chronic or severe pain.
This particular study has made a very strong case for the inclusion
of chiropractic care in the National Health Service of Great Britain. This research illustrates
the cost effectiveness of the inclusion of chiropractic treatment in national health care as
well supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment.
Another point of great interest is the statement that the effects of chiropractic treat-
ment seem to be long-term, as the study showed no return to pre-treatment pain levels
during the two years of follow-up.
