My grandfather got lumbago from his CCC chaplain work - so he must have helped out with the below:

Grandpa got a Swedish Masseuse in Saint Paul - a man - who worked out the Lumbago lower back muscle sprain!!
My grandmother passed on in September 1963, the day before my mom went on her first date with my dad! They dated for 18 months before marrying. JFK was assassinated when my mom was teaching middle school after she got her Bachelor of Science for teaching.
My grandpa in his 1977 cassette memoir mentions that the "5 Killer" was probably the cause of him getting pneumonia and my grandmother died soon after of cancer.
Termite Killer 5 carcinogen was probably made of Chlordane at that time - since that was the main pesticide commonly used. Wow!
Chlordane was the most widely used organochlorine pesticide against termites in

McMillan nodded. By the way, he asked Kane casually, what do you do for a living?
“I’m a lawyer,” Kane answered.
“Oh, great,” McMillan replied glumly.
About five o’clock the next afternoon McMillan telephoned Kane St. John. Ruefully, he admitted that he had lied. He had sprayed Termide—heptachlor and chlordane—on and under their house. The St. Johns were stunned. Their worst fear was confirmed. The only home they had ever owned, the house on which they had lavished so much work and attention, had been poisoned with presumed carcinogens. But it would take longer for the St. Johns to realize the financially disastrous consequences. After the phone call from McMillan, the St. Johns received Key Science and Technology’s analysis of a test kit that Kane earlier had placed inside his house. It showed heptachlor contamination at five times the level at which the National Research Council advises the evacuation of a residence.
Holy bonkers - they had to demolish their house for using the same stuff my grandpa used - no wonder my grandmother died from it!! Dang.
Killer 5 Termiticide and Insecticide, manufactured by CSI, is an effective residential termiticide and insecticide against a broad-spectrum of lawn pests and termites around homes undergoing post-construction. This non-staining termiticide and insecticide provides successful results against pests like fleas and mosquitoes
He was probably spraying this stuff in the lawn?
It's approved for 26 sites including apples, ash, aspen, birch, cherries, dogwood, elm, english elm, hemlock, and lilac. It is also approved for 15 pests and pest groups including but not limited to aphids, bark beetles, dogwood borer, flatheaded borers, fruittree bark beetle, leafminers, lilac borer, peachtree borer, pine bark beetles, and rhododendron borer.
Dang my grandmother was probably spraying it on her flowers? Lilacs...
My grandfather then worked with Vice President Humphrey since Humphrey was moving to the town where my grandfather was now Presbyterian minister.
In 1958, the Humphreys used their savings and his speaking fees to build a lakefront home in Waverly, Minnesota, about 40 miles west of Minneapolis.
My dad was "disgusted" by this since my dad was a leader in the Minnesota Republican party being Assistant attorney general with the Republican administration in 1968.
| 1/2/1967 | Harold LeVander | R | South St. Paul | Lawyer |
That was the MN Republican Governor? Never heard of him.
LeVander worked as assistant county attorney for Dakota County from 1935 to 1939. He also worked for the law firm of Stassen & Ryan in South St. Paul, and taught speech and coached debate at Macalester College.
He coached my dad in debate at Macalester! Now it's starting to make sense.
