A lot of the ladies I've seen have allowed their muscles to atrophy for so long that their potential is nil." Baird said traditional weight programs have encouraged participants to lift weights for long periods of time, doing several sets at each weight station.

Or even 50 years ago? Much has changed since the city was settled, and a new book compiled by the Syracuse Historical Commission documents the area's Syracuse history. The 600-pag- e History Book" should be off the press and ready for distribution by Christmas, said George Hamblin, historical commission member. The first 50 years of the book. 1820 to 1870, cover the period of the early trappers, explorers and pioneers to the region. Emphasis, in- cluding somewhat a language for the community, is then placed on the next 50 years, 1870 to 1920. when families first settled Syracuse. Final emphasis is on the past 75 years. 1920 to 1995, when the community became a town and incorporated city. The $20 book consists of figures, maps, tables, pictures, acknowledgements, a foreword, an index and 18 chapters of history'. To cover the costs of printing, an initial order of 2.000 copies is necessary, " ' said Hamblin.- For more information, call Hamblin at unique 825-301- 3. yC REAM S BOOTS St JEAN 1040 N.
