(AP) Rita Blaisus is running for city treasurer of Cloquet because she wants to see the office abolished and save the city $2,760 a year.

The mother of three says the city clerk's office keeps financial records and the treasurer does little more than copy the figures into another set of books. She says the city's books are audited by a certified public accountant and by the state public examiner's office. The treasurer's office pays $230 a month and requires about eight hours of work per week, Mrs, Blaisus says. The mayor and councilman held 184 meetings in six months last year, and they received only $100 per month, she adds. ucational opportunities of a young woman."

Puffed Sleeves And Ugly Shoes Old Styles Come Back LOS ANGELES (AP) Add a new word to fashion's vocabulary: "funky." It means clothes so old they're new. The latest qualifier: the "Funky Forties." California designers dictated the new nondictionary definition Tuesday at previews of sport- wear for the 70s. There were "funky little attic prints," peplums, "tatty old lady dresses," puffed sleeves, funny flat-heeled shoes and even a "Kate Smith sweetheart neckline."

M. EUER, JEWELRY 315 E. Comrc 542-3451 There are differences between the expert and the average player. One is that the expert has put in many hours studying the game so he will bid better. Another is that the average player is apt to be too conservative at times and too optimistic at others.

Experts go wrong here also, but the expert is either an incurable optimist or an incurable pessimist. He doesn't overbid one hand and underbid the next. The most important single difference is that the expert makes the best percentage play on all occasions. The ordinary player doesn't worry about possible bad breaks and blames it on bad luck when things go wrong. Today's hand is an example of how an expert takes precautions.

South is very happy with his four- heart contract. West opens the king of spades and continues with the ace and seven. South ruffs the third spade and is ready to attack trumps. The ordinary player will just lead one of his honors. East will take his singleton ace and undoubtedly will lead a fourth round of spades.

South will have to ruff high and this will establish the nine of trumps as the setting trick. South has been unlucky. There is no reason for the singleton ace of trumps to be in the East hand but the expert would not have been unlucky. lie would have played a diamond to the ace after ruffing the heart and then led' a trump from dummy. Most of the time he would make the same 10 tricks anyone else would.

This time he also makes 10, whereas the other player has made only nine. By BOB THOMAS Associated Press HOLLYWOOD (AP) The television season is still a bit young for predictions, but most observers agree on one thing: "Marcus Welby, M.D." is a hit. The reviews were good, the ratings have been excellent. The medical series, along with "Mod Squad" and "Movie of the Week" has given ABC command of Tuesday night for the first time in its history. What makes a hit? i Cynics say the time slot is all-important, and "Welby" is doubly blessed by facing CBS news shows and NBC's weakest movies.

On the more positive side, "Welby" is modern, well-produced and sharply written. But the essential element of the show's success may well be its enormously likable and empathetic star, Robert Young. Most producers thought Bob Young would never return to a television series. He had been through a distinguished career in films, had five successful years in "Father Knows Best" on TV, plus a hapless season in "Window on Main Street." It didn't figure that at his age- now Young woule be interested in another series. Young had been playing some guest-star roles in television series, among them "The Name of the Game." One of that series Girl Shot In Arm After Snitching Policeman's Car KANSAS CITY (AP) Two teen-age girls drove away in a police car for a prank Sunday and one was shot in the arm as a policeman chased them across a parking lot.

Police said it happened this way: A patrolman left his patrol car with the motor running while helping break up a street fight. The girls came out of a coffee house and droVe off in the car "just for something to do." Soon after, another patrolman saw them and gave chase, The girls abandoned the car and Patrolman Phillip Bradshaw chased them on foot. He fired two shots into the air, then tripped and his gun fired accidentally, the bullet striking Velvet J. Washelesky, 19. Shirley I.

Mallott, 18, was charged with driving a car without the owner's permission, and Miss Washelesky with riding in a car without the owner's permission. producers, David Victor, was preparing a new show about a general-practitioner doctor, and Young's name came up as star. ABC was cool to the casting, wanting an actor with a tougher quality. "They were still thinking of me in terms of Jim Anderson on 'Father Knows said Young. "They thought I was too bland, even-tempered and naive to play Welby.

I had to prove that I wasn't." He proposed something unusual lor a star of his calibre: he would test for the role. The network agreed, and the test proved that he was a good enough actor to provide the necessary toughness. Now Young is midway through the season's shooting at Universal studio and enjoying it all. "Physically and mentally, I feel in great shape," he said. "Every Friday noon I drive to Burbank Airport and fly a private plane to Rancho Santa Fe; at Monday noon I fly that's in the contract.

The 72 hours away is all I need to build up my energies again." heaviest shoes ever. Jersey minidresses by Charm of Hollywood were cinched in at the waist and flared out to old- fashioned swing skirts. Tiny fluted and puffed sleeves abounded on three-piece crepe suits with peplums. Even once-conservative firms such as Miss Pat and Koret of California tossed in a few "attic flowers on fluid jersey. Dubbing its sportwear "collectors' items," Miss Pat interpreted the 40s in a funky floral cardigan jacket with a gored flip skirt.

Alongside was the "underwear look," crocheted minidresses culled from way back in the 20s. Another keyword in California sportwear was the freedom to be active. Combos by Alex Colman, White Stag and Koret were multipurpose outfits to suit the athlete and socialite. Colman's miniculottes were covered with maxiskirts. And long tunics over long pants doubled as dresses when the pants were stripped away.

Koret called it the "picture puzzle pieces that fit together in various combinations. Running with the rugged sports gal, White Stagg provided fashions for jogging, golfing, tennis, water skiing and even surfer body-clinging, bright print rubber jackets over matching shorts. Skirt lengths varied from mini to maxi and everything in between. But designers of pants agreed: The big bell-bottomed slacks of last seasons have disappeared. Enter the straight leg neither fitted, nor flaired.
