Nth Proper Shoes, foot Care

Sneakers or other flimsy, casual foot
wear are not the best for housework or
garden work. A disability familiar to
most foot specialists with rural practice
is a fracture of the fifth toe, which
occurs when women wearing sneakers
collide with fence posts, garden tools or
other objects. Tn very many cases it
was noted that women suffer pain and
discomfort for many days before they
find out they have suffered fracture
Wearing the right footwear viii e1imin-
ate such accidents as well as those re-
sulting from contact with rusty nails
Doctors explain further that the
temperature-regulating factor in leath-
er and cloth footwear serves to keep
perspiratiOn at a minimum. This is inn
portant to reduce the danger of infec-
ton by the fungus of athletes foot -
from which large majority of the
population suffers at one time or an
other. The germ can thrive only in
warm, moist environment and it is
therefore important that shoe materials
do not encourage this disease.
Most women are careless about get
ting the right shoe fit. 1t is not often
realized that most of us have one foot
larger than the other, or that feet may
be as much as size smaller sitting
down than they are in a standing posi-
ton. Furthermore, even adult feet may
grow, depending upon their activities.
All these considerations should be kept
in mind on each trip to the shoe store.
Both feet should be measured i'm a
standing position. The longer of the
two feet is the one that should be
fitted See that the widest part of the
foot rests comfortably at the widest
part OF the shoe The big toe joint
should rest at the turn of the sole, If a
good heel-to-balI fit is to be achieved
Proper Fit
AS you try on the shoes, have sales
man run his thumb across the joint. If
the joint is slightly forward, you need
longer shoe. If the shoe is too narrow,
the foot will be forced to bulge over the
sides, or to press uncomfortably against
the wall of the shoe. Let the salesman
slide his thumb and fingers across the
vamp and along the edge of shoe. The
varnp should not wrinkle too much and
should not be absolutely taut. In the
first case the shoe is too wide, and
in the second case it is too narrow, in
1icating that foot sole and insole do
not exactly coincide There should be
at least three-quarters of an inch be-
ween the toes and the tip of the shoe.
The salesman will test this by pressing
IN the end of the shoe to make certain
hat the toes have the required amount
f room.
In selecting shoe, grasp the counter
irn1y and test it with your hands. 1t
honld be strong and solid, to give you
snug heel fit, but without pinching.

Something new to Smyrna Jun
ior Play goers will be the feature
of the evening when the Junior
Glass presents The Night of jan
uary 10th in the High School
Auditorium on Friday evening,
November 10, at 8 pm. Many
plays have been written with
vague endings, but this is the
first one in which the audience
takes an important part in the
plays development and conclusion.
With Sandra Robinson, who por-
trays Karen Andre on Trial, the
jury selected from the audience is
given the problem of deciding her
guilt or innocence. AS the pa
irons receive or give their tickets
in the foyer of the auditorium,
they may give their names as
candidates for jury duty. These
names will be given to the Clerk
of the Court, who will place them
in a box. The Clerk will address
the audience, explain the proceed
ure and then will draw IL names
for jurors. These persons will
come onto the stage, take their
places in the jury box, just as
they would in legitimate court,
be sworn in, and listen to testi-
mony. Each juror will be re-
funded the amount of admission.
Between acts, the jurors will be

Each act represents one day of

Although legally a unanimous de-
cision is required for a verdict,
for the sake of dramatic brevity,
a majority vote will be taken as
the decision for the trial. AL
