WIS's first year's budget was about $30,000 with federal supplying and the remainder coming from in-kind contributions. The local center has received an average of about 10 calls per day since it opened, Holschbach said. United Community Council, which sponsors WIS locally, has already received about 60 applications for the manager position, officials said.

STURGEON BAY (PG) -The Door County Board authorized Dist. Atty. Clemens Hedeen Jr. to prosecute the owner of a local drive-in the-a on public nuisance charges for the frequent showing of X-rated movies.

A temporary injunction was served in the courthouse on Ralph Norton, who owns and operates the Starlite Outdoor Theater on Highway 42-57 in the Town of Sevastopol, ordering him not to show the questionable films with a hearing set for 2 p.m. Thursday to decide whether or not a permanent injunction should be issued. Norton advised that he would close the theater until the issue is resolved. The action stemmed from numerous complaints of area residents claiming that explicitly sexual films could be seen by their families and from the highway and constituted a public nuisance. Both board chairman Thomas Herlache and Hedeen emphasized that the action was not an attempt to infringe on the right of Norton to show, or the right of paying customers to view the films, nor a judgment of the type of movie but was in support of "the right of people who choose not to see them." Nearly two years ago, Norton pleaded guilty to engaging in conduct causing and provoking a disturbance by showing an X-rated film in the theater which was seen by persons under 18 years of age.

At the time Norton was fined $200 and placed on probation for two years. One of the conditions of the probation stipulated that Norton would show no hard-core X-rated films containing scenes that are lewd, obscene or indecent. Also discussed in the closed session was a resolution by Sup. Orville Voeks, requesting that the rules of order be amended to require a ballot vote on the hiring or firing of personnel or salaries.

Manitowoc Unsure of DNR Order MANITOWOC (PG) Although the City of Manitowoc is under state Department of Natural Resources orders to clean up pollution problems 'from a former city-owned sanitary landfill site, it is undecided as to what action to take. The landfill site formerly was operated on Muth property off N. 8th Street.

Liquid waste known as lea-chate has been seeping from the banks of the Muth property into the adjacent Little Manitowoc River and has caused pollution and odor problems in the past. City Atty. Paul Lawent was informed by a DNR official that the agency wants the lea-chate problem corrected by the end of August to avoid possible harmful effects to salmon spawning in the river. The deadline date mentioned in the DNR order was Aug. 15.

The DNR officials said it was "an open and shut case" and that it would be fruitless to fight the order, according to Lawent. Lawent said the city could demand a DNR hearing on the order or obtain a temporary injunction to keep the DNR from enforcing the order pending a court appeal. City officials feel that the property owner should pay part of the cost for correcting the leachate problem, but the owner is opposed to this. MEI Official Defends His Pay Scale NEOPIT (PG) Eugene F.

The sales manager pointed out Tuesday, however, that the corporation's sales last year were in excess of $7.5 million, including $5.5 million in lumber and allied forest products harvested in Menominee County and $2 million "brokered" for other companies at a five per cent commission which netted MEI about $103,000.

It was brought back for consideration by Mayor Orville Austad, who said that by merging the responsibilities for the sewers as a non-utility project with the commission's present responsibility for the water system, action on the city's many problems could be expedited. It received strong opposition from Aid. W.O.

Wright. Wright has been pressing for a director of public works, claiming that with the present part-time status of the mayor and aldermen, "we are not getting dollar for dollar."
