Minneapolis mm State news .1 Tuesday January 21979 County attorney off ices undergo major turnover I frr.y -t The costs of maintaining a part-time county attorney have increased at the same time as the supply of new, young lawyers willing to take on the job full time has increased. The young lawyers see it as a way to spend a few years getting themselves established in a community. "Someone who's invested 20 years In private practice, it's like a business," Askew said. "He's not likely to walk away from that" to become county attorney full time at a lower salary. Some county boards have become more active, increasing the demand for legal services from the county attorney.

Part-time county attorneys must watch out for conflicts of interest between their private and public practices. Some part-time attorneys expressed that concern to their county boards, Askew said. Conflicts, or at least potential conflicts, can be financially painful, he noted, If, for example, "someone you prosecuted or are about to prosecute has a fairly lucrative case they want you to handle" in private practice. Based on volume of work and population, a full-time county attorney might be justified In another 15 counties, he estimated. The 32 counties with new attorneys are: Aitkin, Beltrami, Carver, Cass, Cottonwood, Dodge, Freeborn, Goodhue, Grant, Hennepin, Hubbard, I-santi, Itasca.

Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mower, Murray, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Renville. Rice, St. Louis, Scott Sibley, Swift, Todd, and Yellow Medicine. A major turnover in the ranks of Minnesota's county attorneys takes effect this week. As four-year terms begin in all 87 counties, more than a third of the counties will have newcomers in the office.

Election defeats of Incumbents, retirements and changes in the office from part-time to full-time have resulted In 32 new county attorneys. Some of them have served previously as assistant county attorneys. In a year when Incumbents in many offices fared poorly, county attorneys were no exception. Of 21 incumbents who sought reelection, 14 were defeated: They included the attorneys of the state's three largest counties: Gary Flakne In Hennepin, William Randall in Ramsey, and Keith Brownell in St. Louis.

Another 18 incumbents didn't seek reelection, according to a summary by Stephen Askew, executive director of the county attorneys council, a training, research and technical assistance agency. In several cases, that was because the office was changed to a full-time position effective Jan. 1, Askew said. Eight counties Carver, Cass, Freeborn, Goodhue, McLeod, Otter Tail, Rice and Waseca made that change. Joining 20 other counties in which the office has been full-time.

Those 28 counties represent about 75 percent of the state's population, Askew said. More counties have made the job full-time for several reasons, Askew said: Staff Photos by John Croft New administration receives oath at Capitol Iowa men get trimmed at beauty salons in a town shorn of barbers Gov. Al Ouie, top, and Lt. Gov. Lou Wangberg, right, were sworn in Monday by supreme court Justice Walter Rogosheske at the Capitol.

"I've never had a New Year's Day like this before," Quie said after the ceremonies in which state Auditor Arne Carlson also was sworn. "We've had some outstanding governors in the past," Quie told the private gathering of friends and relatives. "I want to commend (for- mer Gov.) Rudy Perpich for the work he did in the two years he was here." He also commended former Sen. Wendell Anderson and former Govs. Harold LeVan-der, Karl Rolvaag, Elmer Andersen and Orville Freeman.

"We don't know what the future holds for us but we come with optimism," he said. Quie's wife, Gretchen, held the Bible yesterday while he took the oath. It was open to one of his favorite passages, Mark 10: 35-45. The passages includes Christ's admonition to the Disciples: "Whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant. And whoever wishes to be most important and first in rank among you must be the slave of all." Chief Justice Robert Sheran will administer the oath to Quie again Thursday at a public ceremony at the Capitol.

fit JX Minnesota Senate, House members Following are the members of the 1979 Minnesota Legislature, their party affiliations, home addresses and occupations. The Legislature will convene on Wednesday for the first half of its 7 1st session. During the session, mail to House members and IR Senate members may be sent to the State Office Building, St. Paul 55155. Mail to DFL Senate members may be sent to the State Capitol, St.

Paul 55155. House Minnesota Twin Cities Northwood' Iowa Jim Hanson, himself once a barber. "But I know some of the older ones don't like it. A lot of barbering has changed. "I used to do half my business on Saturday, when people would come to town.

I'd be open until 2 a.m., and guys would come until then from the bar down the street whenever a chair was empty. Some of the late ones got a little goofy," he said. For a time, retired barbers filled the shortage by working part time, Hanson said. But they now are encumbered by legislation that requires members of their trade to take retraining each year. Rather than take the classes, many just gave up, Hanson said.

Nonetheless, the men of Worth County must get the haircuts somewhere. Without a barber shop, that means beauty salons or traveling to Mason City, St. Ansgar, or Glenville, Minn. And Glenville, 10 miles north of Northwood, is alleged to be the home of the fastest barber around. "Once I drove up there," said a male customer at the Magic Mirror beauty talon.

"I got a haircut and drove back and I wasn't gone for over 25 minutes. That guy'i so fast it scares you." Associated Press Northwood, Iowa Worth County men still get their hair cut but instead of hanging out at a barber shop they must go to the Magic Mirror or another beauty salon. The last town barber went out of business two months ago, and that means no more half days spent reading magazines and chatting with friends while waiting for an empty chair. No more trims at 1 a.m. after a Saturday night of drinking with the boys.

Now, men wanting a haircut have to take their place with women In beauty shops, with over-the-top dryers and lace curtains. Some of the unshorn feel the quality of life has taken a decided downturn. "For one thing, some of the guys don't feel comfortable going into a place where women are getting their hair done too," said one Northwood man, who asked not to be Identified. Another complains that a beauty parlor is hardly "a place you could go with manure on your boots." The consensus, however, seems to be that salons aren't all that bad after a couple of visits. "Provided you can get there when your wife Isn't there," said one regular.

The last barber In Worth County was Edgar Janson, who bad a place until a couple of months ago in Northwood. Worth County is located in north-central Iowa and has a population of about 9.000. Hair cutting once was just one of many functions at the barber shop. It also served as a doctor's' office. But as medical schools began to horn in, hair and conversation became the chief concern.

Now, with appointments and $1 1 style cuts. Worth County is not alone in seeing the old-fashioned barber shop fold. "I know the younger ones don't mind (going to beauty salons) so much," said county Treasurer Senate District Marvin B. Hanson. DFL.
