Mechanically, the normal hui
man foot is complex and highly
efficient machine. Taken from the
ankle, each foot contains twenty
six bones, twenty muscles, numer-
Gus ligaments,. tendons, nerves,
blood and lymph vessels, and nu-
merouS movable joints. All these
are protected by the covering of
skin and soft tissues which are
extremely dense on the bottom
of the foot-especially at the heel
and under the area where the toes
are attached, which is known as
the metatarsal area.
The bones form the frame
work of the foot and carry the
brunt of the body weight. The
largest is the heel bone while
the smallest is the bone form
ing the last joint of the fifth
or little toe.

LIGAMENTS are strong, tough

 !! The As not only are in fifth place,
 but they're only half game back
 1f the Boston Red Sox, the weakly
 defending champions.
 Two straight silulout wins over the New York Yankees have focused baseball attention on the Macks who are only a game below the 300 mark in the won and lost department. Dick Fowler and Freshman Joe Coleman team up on the Tanks yes terday in one of the eight double headers that attracted a banner turnout of 283, 1850 fans. Fowler nos ed out Spud Chandler, To, in the opener although the As touched Chandler for only three hits. Cole man gave up nine hits in the second win, 40 stretching New York's scoreless inning string to 9. It was
 first win for Coleman, who prep ped at Toronto.
 Detroit-St. Louis Split Detroit muffed a chance to length en it's lead considerably by splitting with St. Louis. After Hal Newhouser defeated the Brownies for the 14th straight time over three year stretch, 2-1, the Tigers succumbed to Nels Potter's wiles in the finale,

5O|o ana so reduced the real ValuC of the loan, and partly because other countries, both in Europe and elsewhere, found themselves equally in need of dollars and :n- sisted on our paying for what we bought from them by dollars, or sterling which they could change into dollars, instead of using to buy goods from us. All that we can do is to cut down our imports and build up our exports.
 A country which reduces its meat ration to 20 cents a week; which accepts, as we are having to accept, a lower level of food consumption than it ever had to undergo during the war; which ra- tions bread which cuts out all pleasure motoring; which deprives itself of many of the ordinary amenities of life-such a country, and Britain is that country, can hardly be said not to be facing up to the realities of the situation. We are, of course, concentrating every energy we have on building up our export trade so as to balance our payments.
 Today we are employing over a million more people in manufac- turing for export than two years ago: that is 50ft increase on the number we employed in 1888. AL ready our exports much exceed the 1888 volume: our target is to increase by 759o above the 1888 volume by the end of next year. In that way, and by that time, we hope to balance the money we have to pay out by money coming in, and then to build up our stand ards of life.
 We shall continue the battle be- cause we know that with econo- mic collapse in Britain our free dom and liberty, our democratic institutions, all that we hold dear in our way of life would collapse also. It is because the totalitarians see the imminent possibility of col lapse in the western democracies that the. voice of totalitarian dema- gogy is raised SO stridently now. And that is why the countries of western Europe, taking courage and guidance from the example which my country shows, look to the great American democracy for the material assistance which my people can no longer give.
The Nome nugget., 1947-12-22

Britain is a Social Democracy We British believe passionately that the State and the law are made for man, that through them he may live a fuller life, achieve a greater dignity. The freedom of the individual; the right of every man to speak his mind; to choose his way of life; the liberty of the press. These things are fundamen- tai and we are determined to pre- serve them. If now we are pre- pared to suspend some of the lib- critics and freedoms which we hold so dear, to submit to regulation and control, it is because we are determined to preserve these things for our children.
 We emerged from the war with our people tired, large sections of our industry run down, unsuitable for peace production or obsoles- cent, with our financial resources greatly impoverished, with one house in every four damaged by enemy action, with many of our factories destroyed. But already our production has been built up well in excess of 1888 figures.
 Some say we are not working: what nonsense!
 It is estimated that our general level of production is up by 1O9o to 20% above the prewar figure. Yet the number of people engaged in civilian production has increas- ed by less than go.
 Take one or two examples: az 'ricultural production up by 25b; steel up by 37% over 1888; chem icals up about the same; Shipbuild- ing 238% of 1888 tonnage; goods vehicles 25fo up; tractors treble, locomotives double. On the other hand, unemployment always so grave a scourge before, where now it exists at all, is temporary and transitional in character, its total volume under go. The amount of time which has been lost by strikes has been insignificant, about one-twentieth of one per cent.
 By the middle of this year we have provided over 250,000 homes, in addition to an enormous amount of war damage repairs. There are another 250,000 actually under construction at the moment. Side by side with them new fac tories are going up, many of them in what used to be the depressed areas, with mass unemployment. A bout 5000 factory building schemes have been approved.
 We are fulfilling the program on which the Government was elected to power, and we are plac- ing certain vital basic industries under the control of public corpo- rations representing the State. The coal industry is the most import ant. We have vast natural re- sources of coal. and its proper pro- duction is the key to our industrial prosperity. For a long time the coal industry in our country had been in a bad way. After the las,
The Nome nugget., 1947-12-22

 price control and subsidies which have kept the cost of living from rising more than 40%6 above he prewar figure, but we are allocat- ing materials so as to ensure tha. the most important industries from the point of view of the coun- , try's prosperity get priority. ti- nally, we are doing what we can consistently with our democratic institutions, to see that labor flows to those industries whose need is most urgent.
 Why is it that we face sucl hardships now, in order to avoid economic collapse? Our internal financial position is good; we are checking the tendency to inflation; we are balancing our budget; the wheels of our industry are hum- ming round; everyone is employ ed. What is our danger? The ans Wer is simple. Britain has never been a self-supporting country, we always had to import great quantities of food, of raw materi- als, of timber, of oil, and so on from abroad, and largely from America. Before the war we were , able to pay for those things large ly because, in addition to our ex- ports, we had great financial re- sources abroad.
 We could get by on actual phys ical exports amounting to only one half of our imports-the balance we made good by these invisible exports-these foreign investments and so on. During the war, all that went. Although we helped to win the war, we have emerged far poorer: $3O,OOO, 100000 poorer.
 About one-third of Britain's prewar national wealth was ex- exhausted. We can no longer pay for our imports as we used to do largely by means of money we were earning on capital invest ments overseas: we can only pay for them now to the extent that we can export our own goods in return. The dollar loans, which the United States and Canada veiy generously made us, were inter l. ed to meet that situation by g.v- ing us time to rebuild our export trade. Unfortunately, they did mt give us enough time. That was partly because American whole sale prices rose between 40% and

 Miss Hazeltine writes. Christmas
 candles, bonfires and Yule logs
 arise from the heathen festivals; observing the winter solstice, De- cember 2l, when the days begin to lengthen. That was time Of
 great rejoicing for ancient sun worshippers who built bonfires to give strength to the "winter sun god"
 Pre-Christian Romans orna- mented their homes with green boughs and blowers for the Feast of the Saturnalia which began De- cember l9. Druids gathered mistle- toe for that season, while ancient Saxons used holly, ivy and bay. Modern mistletoe and holly Wreaths come from those peoples. 1 Christmas trees, too, spring from ancient German days when the Germanic tribes made sacri- fices to the sacred oak tree of Odin. When the missionary St. Boniface travelled to Germany in the eighth century and saw these celebrations he persuaded the na- lives to substitute fir tree for, the oak and to adorn it in tribute to the Christ child. Thus was born the first true Christmas tree. Prince Albert introduced the tree to England after his marriage to Queen Victoria, while it was brought to America with all it's decorations and spangles by Ger, man immigrants to this country. In the pre-Christian world the, celebration of the winter solstice was the principal event of the year. And because the exact day and year of Christ's birth have never. been satisfactorily settled, the fathers of the Church, when they decided in $40 A. D., upon an offi- cial date for the birth of Christ , wisely chose the day of the win ter solstice which was firmly fixed in the minds of the people and which was their most important festival. Owing to changes in man. made calendars, the time of the solstice and the date of Christmas vary by few days"
 The exchange of Christmas gifts was originated by bishop, born in the third century, A. D., who was later made the Netherlands patron saint of children-San Nic- olaas. Santa Claus, as the Ameri- can contraction of his name calls him, had reputation for making secret gifts during the Christmas season. Saint Nicholas has become familiar figure in the folklore of many lands, yet in the Nether- lands, as in Belgium, gifts are given on December 6, special holiday for children, instead of on Christmas day. Tn France, too,. I gifts are exchanged on New Years: instead of Noel, and in Italy pres ents are distributed on the Epiph- any, the celebration day of Christ's l baptism.
 St. Francis of Assini is respon- sible for the birth of two wide spread Christmas customs. He or iginated the use of the creche, miniature tableau of the Nativity, in 1924, and since then the manager scene is the heart of the Roman

war an independent Royal com mission favored natiopalization but it was not then carried out. In sufficient capital was spent on modernization and mechanization There were too many small un- economic units-about 800 firms concerned in the production of a little over 2OO,OOO,OOO tons of coal a year.
 Miners drifted steadily away from the pits to more attractive occupations: between the end of the l914/1918 war and the end of the last war, the number employ ed in the pits had dropped from we'll over a million to under 700,- 900. We have now established a national coal board, composed of nine men of national reputation in the field of mining, science, fi- nance, and administration and la Dor. That board is engaged now in an extensive scheme for reorgan- izing and coordinating the indus try and providing new capital equipment. At the same time we are doing all we can to recruit la Dor to the industry, and whilst the problem is a very difficult one we have so far met with a good deal of success.
 Already our production is much improved on that of last year and British coal mines are closer to prewar output per manshift than any other mines in Europe.
 There is no question of the so- cialization of all British industry. On the contrary, when the pro- gram is completed, about 20%o of our industry will be under public control, the rest in the hands of private enterprises. As for. the rest the Government has done what it can to improve the efficiency of private industry. In the case of about 20 of the major industries cotton, pottery, boots and shoes, wool and so forth-We set up what we called woking parties committees with representatives of both sides of the industry to- gether with representatives of the public.
 1t is remarkable to find that he reports of these committees are Ill presenting much of a common pat tern. There must-they y-be more integration in our different industries, the elimination of un- economic competition, more stand ardization, more modern equip ment.
 All the reports show willing ness on the parts of the industries concerned to adopt whatever rad ical changes the industries need, and we are following up the work ing parties with permanent de- velopment councils for each indus try.
 We have felt that whilst our country continued to suffer from an acute shortage of materials and labor, whilst we had grave ad- verse balance on payments abroad we must ensure that there was not a reckless and irresponsible scramble in which the highest bid-
