Rod Moen said low and moderate income residents in the 31st District may be eligible for property tax relief through the Homestead Tax Credit program.

Homeowners and renters with household incomes less than $16,500 may qualify for as much as $960 in property tax credits. Renters may claim 25 percent of rent as property tax. Claims for homestead property tax credits must be filed on Schedule of the state income tax form, which are available at post offices, banks, libraries and Department of Revenue offices. "The credits simply recognize the unfair burden of property taxes, especially for low and moderate income households," said Moen. This year, more than 260,000 low and moderate income Wisconsin homeowners and renters qualified for more than $85 million in homestead tax credits.

(AP) Between 135 and 150 lumberjacks and logging contractors in northern Minnesota have been notified by Boise Cascade Corp. that their. contracts will not be renewed in 1985.

Boise Cascade closed its Insulite siding division in International Falls three weeks ago. Many of the independent logging contractors say they and their colleagues are facing bankruptcy because of the great expense of their equipment, which can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. And, with the announcement two weeks ago that Blandin Paper Co. will delay an expansion in Grand Rapids and the expected 120 logging jobs it would create, there is little hope that loggers in the area will find work quickly. Connie Lovedahl of rural Effie said the Boise notification "devastated" her husband, Brad, an independent contractor who usually hires two or three helpers.

"He's never worked for anyone else but Boise and always turned down other work," she said, adding that her husband was contacting the lumber mills and other buyers he had turned down in the past. Richard DeMars, an independent contractor from Ray, said that with so many operators out of work he might as well try to give his equipment away as sell it. "I've pretty much lost everything I had," he said. "I have a half million in equipment and debt up to my ears. I'm one of those you hear about that is out in the cold.

"I've been called by my banker as late as 10 p.m. even though my next payment isn't due until Jan. 5. They'll probably force me through bankruptcy." I'M HERE TO HELP YOU WITH MAJOR MEDICAL INSURANCE CINCINNATI (AP) Doctors removed part of the right leg of an 11-year-old Orlando, boy Saturday in hopes of improving his chances of surviving massive burns from a homemade bomb explosion. Paul Edward Jewell's right leg was too badly mangled in the Christmas Day explosion and was amputated below the knee in a 70-minute operation at the Shriners Burns Institute.

Spokeswoman Sandy Shackelford said the leg wasn't improving and posed a risk of infection. "His leg was removed because of a lot of residual dead tissue," she said. "That's a breeding ground for infection. "As for Paul, it could improve his chances of survival because it got rid of a lot of dead tissue that could be threatening to him." However, Shackelford said, "He's not out of the woods." Doctors also removed dead tissue from the boy's right thigh and lower left leg. He was listed in critical but stable condition Saturday evening.

The boy's right leg was badly hurt and be suffered second- and third- degree bums over 60 percent of his body when a homemade bomb attached to an air hose exploded as he tried to fill a bicycle tire at a convenience store. Florida authorities are trying to piece bomb fragments back together to get clues about its maker. Meanwhile, a Minnesota firm has offered a $10,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of whoever planted the bomb. Rewards now total $17,500 for the bomber's arrest and conviction. The latest reward was offered by Air-vend in Mendota Heights, a Minneapolis suburb.

The company manufactures air machines similar to the one the bomb was attached to. "We know it wasn't the machine that caused the problem," said Steve Barth, a company spokesman. "But we still feel terrible about this. This guy has got to be caught. We hate to have to put up money to give people a reason to call in a tip, but hopefully the reward money will help get him." Air-vend does not manufacture the model of machine that the bomb was attached to before it exploded.

Today, nearly 10 years after the fall of the South Vietnamese government and the takeover by North Vietnam, Khe Sanh is mostly a cooperative of farmers and handicraft makers. Communist authorities say about 3,000 people, many of them Mon-tagnard tribesmen, returned to Khe Sanh after the war ended on April 30, 1975.

The Minneapolis Star and Tribune, collecting figures from each of six hospitals serving the mentally ill, found the Minnesota picture spotty by such a measure. The point is illustrated by totals from Anoka State Hospital, which serves the metropolitan area, and Fergus Falls State Hospital in western Minnesota. Anoka, 'vhich had an average of 237 mentally ill patients during the past fiscal year, has the equivalent of 9Vfc physicians, including seven psychiatrists.

This is one doctor per 25 patients and one psychiatrist per 34 patients. Fergus Falls, with 99 mentally ill patients, has the equivalent of 2.4 doctors, including a psychiatrist on duty two days a week. The ratios are one doctor for 41 patients and one psychiatrist for 247 patients. The ratios at the other hospitals ranged widely in between. Gottlieb also cited shortages of other professionals, including trained psychiatric nurses, Ph.D.

Dr. Brian Gottlieb made the suggestion a week ago to an interagency board that had just endorsed a competitive model under which the hospitals would compete among themselves for patients, money and eventual Gottlieb's comments, although they will be included in the final report, were effectively ignored by the board. But in his presentation and in subsequent interviews, Gottlieb raised crucial questions about the quality of care given the 1,100 mentally ill state hospital patients.

Quoting a nationwide survey, Gottlieb said the ratio of psychiatrists to patients in the Minnesota hospital system is "dramatically below" the national average. He said the hospitals have "similar deficiencies in all levels of highly-qualified professionals." He said the survey found a national average of one physician for every 25 patients on state and For more information on Hospital Home Care contact: HOSPITAL HOME CARE Community Memorial Hospital 855 Mankato Avenue Winona, Minnesota 55987 (507)457-4468.
