OLDSMOBILES FOR LESS SAABS FOR LESS 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. ❑ SEVERAL OTHER CONVERTIBLES IN STOCK (Stk. #S-21) NEW '92 SAAB 900 $17,988 In stock for immediate delivery.

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.
