JACK GAMBLE CHIROPRACTOR- LOWER BACK PROBLEM If you've been treated for lower back problem and the pain and discomfort are still there, you may be able to benefit from chiroprac­ tic treatment. If your spine is out of alignment, this may be causing other prob­ lems in addition to lower back pain. Because the body's nervous system is closely integrated with the spine, any misalignment can cause painful irritation. Abnormal nerve function may affect what­ ever organs, glands, or tissues that are supplied by that nerve. The nerves of the lower back, tor example, are connected to cer- tain organs and other structures in that area. If lower back spinal misalignment is putting undue pressure on the nerves, you may be suffering from more than lower back pain. It may be having a di­ rect effect on other areas of your body. A thorough examination can dis close exactly where the problem is and how it can be corrected. Dr. Jack Gamble Gamble Chiropractic Clinic Ltd. 208 S.

The legislation, drafted by the state Association of 708 Boards, would transfer authority for administering programs for the mentally ill and develop- mentally disabled to local boards and away from the Illinois Department of Mental Health. State authorities would per­ form a financial oversight function and set treatment and other guidelines under the proposed bill. Dennis Smith, executive director of the county mental health 708 board, was in­ strumental in drafting the proposed legislation and has been working to have it in­ troduced in the General Assembly. , vr j ; wmk&i Start her summer with Eyefuls from Skiva Your choice Orig. $17.

Creating the 11-member task force was suggested by Sen. JaCk Schaffer (R-McHenry County), chairman of the mental health commissigC "&s-a way to keep the propoial alive" after other efforts to get the legislation introduced stalled, Zych said. Tentatively titled the Com­ munity MentaLHealth Service Act, the legislation proposes nhnnging the existing method of funding mental health programs. Instead of money being allocated from Springfield, funding would be on a populatidn-based formula. Local boards would pay state hospitals for their patients' care at a per diem rate. The change is an attempt to improve the* quality of mental health patient care and rectify funding inequities that tend to reward less efficient agencies. Smith says that in states where the system has been im­ plemented, there has been a reduction in state hospital utilization and more funds have become available for local programs. Various interest groups have mounted stiff opposition to the change. Zych said the task force was a way to get the bill "out of the political arena and into an open discussion over the next six months to develop the bill, or a series of bills, on the com­ munity-based system." The task group could return with a compromise measure by February 1985 for submission to state lawmakers, he said. Smith met with aides of Gov. James THompson last month in an effort to further the bill, but Zych said the controversial proposal was not welcomed. Zych said he proposed to Schaffer that a joint study committee tackle the bill. Schaffer'suggested the to air force instead because of current sentiment against House and Senate study committees, Zych said.
