Nerves are too important to the body to be dismissed so
easily. They make possible our breathing and speech.
■ Nerves make the bowels move. Nerves make It possible
H tor us to swallow. In fact, all functions taking place in the
H body are under control and coordination of the nervous
H system.
The spine acts as a bony canal and protector for the
main nerve cable or spinal cord. The dislocation of any of
the spinal vertebra can cause a pressure on the nerve as it
leaves the spine, creating trouble in the organ supplied by
that nerve. The Chiropractor's main ob|ectlve is to locate
■ and correct nerve interference that may be causing ab-
■ normal function of organs or parts of the body.
■ The spine is the "switchboard" controlling health.

Atlanta is among the cities
with year-end price boosts
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS I
Consumers trying to start i
1977 with a balanced food i
budget are going to have to hunt ;
harder for bargins. An
Associated Press market
basket survey shows that 1976
ended with price boosts for a
wide range of items.
The AP drew a random list of '
15 commonly purchased food
and non-food products, checked ;

the prices on March 1, 1973 at
one supermarket in each of 13
cities and has rechecked on or
about the start of each
succeeding month.
Among the findings in the
latest survey:
—The marketbasket bill
increased at the checklist store
in 12 cities during December, up
an average of 5.1 percent. The
only decline, 5.9 percent, was in
Boston. On an overall basis, the
marketbasket bill at the
checklist stores went up 4.3
percent in December. During
November, the marketbasket
bill was up at the checklist store
in six cities, down in six and
unchanged in one.
—Price rises in grocery bills
during 1976 were due mainly to
the soaring cost of coffee. The
AP survey found the
marketbasket bill at the start of
this month was up at the
checklist store in 10 cities and
down in three, from an overall
increase of 3.5 percent. Coffee
was up in 12 cities over the year,
rising an average of 63 percent,
and was unavailable in the
requested size and brand at the
checklist store in the 13th city.
When coffee was subtracted
from the marketbasket bill in
the 12 cities where it was
available, the AP survey
showed that this January’s
totals were less than last year at
the checklist store in most
areas, for an overall decrease of
3.4 percent.
—Beef prices, which declined
during much of 1976, started
rising again as the year drew to
a close and are expected to
continue increasing. The cost of
a pound of chopped chuck
increased in seven cities during
December. The reason? A
decreasing supply of cattle,
according to industry
spokesmen who say ranchers
have been cutting back herds
because they aren’t getting paid
enough for their animals.
—On the bright side, pork
prices continued to drop during
December. The cost of a pound
of center cut pork chops
decreased in six cities last
month. The situation is exactly
the opposite of what’s
happening with beef; hog
farmers, encouraged by the
high price they got in 1975 and
by the abundant supplies of corn
to feed the animals, have been
increasing their production.
—The trends in beef and pork
prices are expected to continue,
according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. The
USDA has predicted that the
average price of a pound of beef
will go up 10 cents next year.
—Coffee prices also will keep
going up, despite calls for a
boycott by consumers. One
major processor recently
boosted the wholesale price for
coffee to $3.08 a pound. The AP
survey showed retail prices at
the checklist stores generally
have not caught up to the
wholesale level. Salt Lake City
was the exception. Coffee cost
$3.19 a pound at the checklist
store, more than double what it
was a year ago.
The items on the AP checklist
were: chopped chuck, center
cut pork chops, frozen orange
juice concentrate, coffee, paper
towels, butter, Grade-A
medium white eggs, creamy
peanut butter, laundry
detergent, fabric softner,
tomato sauce, chocolate chip
cookies, milk, all-beef
frankfurters and granulated
sugar.
The cities check were:
Albuquerque, N.M., Atlanta,
Ga., Boston, Chicago, Dallas,
Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami,
New York, Philadelphia,
Provicence, Salt Lake City and
Seattle.

Have people forgotten?
The father of Vietnam casuality
is baffled by the indifference
By ROBERT LOCKE
Associated Press Writer
EAGI£ NEST, N.M. (AP) — The Vietnam Veterans
Peace and Brotherhood Chapel stands, stark and alone, as
a monument to a father's love and grief.
And it seems all but forgotten — except by the man who
built it on a windswept little hill in northeast New Mexico.
Dr. Victor Westphall, a 63-year-old historian and
author, spent five years building the chapel, mostly with
his own hands.
“How significant or how important it is, I just don’t
know,” he said. “We just do what we must.”
It is, he said, “a tiny cry in the wilderness.”
The winding walkway to the chapel is lined with
markers, each on a one-foot pedestal, bearing the names
of Americans who died in Indochina:
Robert Harris, Kentucky ... Davis F. Brown, Florida ...
Denver Borkheimer, Oklahoma ... Rolando Hernandez,
Texas ... Salvatore Armato, New York ... Andrew Kir
chmayer, Wisconsin ... David Westphall, New Mexico ...
Lt. David Westphall of the U.S. Marine Corps died on
May 22, 1968, when his company was ambushed in the
South Vietnamese jungle. Twelve other Marines died with
him.
The inside walls of the chapel are bare, except for 13
photographs on the curving north wall.
David Westphall, a proud young officer in a high-necked
dress uniform, is in the center picture.
The gallery includes a smiling young sailor, a graying
Air Force officer, a grim soldier still in his teens.
The faces and names of the dead, Westphall said, give
reality to the numbers nations use to report the casualties
of war.
“People forget,” he said. “The significance of war be
comes more like a game than a deadly contest in the eyes
of most people, particularly if they are not in it.”
He wonders if people already have forgotten.
Donations to the nonprofit corporation that operates the
chapel have dwindled to barely a trickle, he said, and a
search for support from charitable foundations was
fruitless.
The chapel, located just off U.S. 64 and 20 miles south of
Eagle Nest, remains an orphan, supported by the family
that conceived and nurtured it.
It is not marked on official state maps. Bills proposed in
Congress to have the chapel designated a national
memorial flounder without action.
Visitors, who Westphall said once numbered more than
25,-000 a year, come less frequently now.

“After all this time,” Westphall said, “the chapel is »
open only when I’m here with the key to open it.”
Volunteers no longer come to help staff it.
“Some people have come long distances just to see it, t
and it’s not been open. That’s a cross for me to bear.”
Westphall said the lack of interest baffles him.
“I see a very definite trend where the vast majority of i
people want to do things the easy way. I think that may be
why Vietnam veterans have been pushed into the back
ground. It’s just the easiest thing to forget about it, to t
sweep it under the rug.
“There may be an element of shame in the minds of the
American people. They want to forget about Vietnam. But •
mankind can forget the lessons of that war only at his own
peril.”
The chapel, he said, “is dedicated to peace. It’s not a
war memorial. And as far as I know, it’s the only
memorial to all Vietnam veterans (of all nations)
throughout the world. In a broader sense, it is for all ’
soldiers of all times.”
The photos, except for the one of his son, are changed
periodically, Westphall said. His albums include 75 pic
tures, he said, and new photos still are added infrequently.
“The majority of the families bring them in person. i
That’s a surprising thing,” Westphall said. “It’s as if the
picture is something too precious to be sent through the
mail.” ,
When Westphall learned of his son’s death, he and his
wife decided to establish a memorial that “would be
something lasting and good.”
The result is the chapel.
