A Hard Day

Ordinarily 41st wedding ami
versary is occasion for family cele-
brating, but that couldn't be true
this year for popular Tom and
Agnes Kerr.
Monday was that anniversary for
them. But it found Tom a patient
at Flower hospital in Toledo. Mel
decker ambulance took him there
Saturday from Magruder where
he'd been hospitalized since col
lapsing at work at the Standard
two weeks ago. Plenty of friends
thought of you lovingly Monday,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr, and are one in
the hope that Anniversary No. AZ

IF there's a starry look in the

Danger Afoot
Around That
Swim Pool
AP Newsfeufvres

Athletes foot is skin disease
Of the feet. 1t is caused by a fung
s and is type of ringwOrm. 1t
IS very contagious. 1t can be pick
ed up by walking barefoot over a
damp surface where the fungus is
lurking.
The most frequent places where
children land adults too) get ath-
ete'S foot are at swimming pools
md especially in the locker rooms
Or shower baths.
The fungus is killed quickly in
bright sunshine, so the edges of
the pool or a beach are less of
hazard than the indoor rooms.
Once one member of family
becomes infected with athletes
foot, it can be spread to the rest of
the family from the bathroom floor.
l'he fungus loves warm moist
places.
The fungus of athletes foot
makes cracks between the toes.
These cracks become angry and
red, small water blisters appear.
When they burst the skin is raw.
The toes itch and burn. A rash on
the foot itself may appear and in
severe cases this rash spreads rap
idly up the whole leg. Sometimes
the itching leads to scratching and
further infection. once in while
the scratching transfers the infec-
ton to the hands.
Do not neglect athletes foot. 1t
will not get we'll by itself If you
see the signs of little cracks be-
tween the toes, go Immediately to
the doctor. It's much better to let
him prescribe than to try any of
the many preparations you see
widely advertised. While you're
waiting to get an appointment,
wear white cotton socks-fresh
daily Keep the feet extra clean
and dry and DON'T scratch.
Most good swimming pools do
the best they can to prevent ath-
lete's foot, but no measures are 100
per cent perfect.
One of the first things you can
do is keep your shoes on if you
have any suspicious that you have
athletes foot. Don't go to pool
and use a locker room and be the
cause of others catching your in
lection. 1t doesn't take long to
cure athletes foot, once treatment
is started While you're waiting
for your own recovery, be careful
of others. If everyone did this we'd
have less athletes foot.
Because some people will be
careless, protect yourself and your
children by wearing disposable pa
per slippers or open wooden clogs
while you're in the locker rooms or
shower baths.
Don't use other peoples towels.
Foot baths containing fungicidal
solutions placed in shower rooms
are not of much value unless the
solution is changed constantly.
A good practice for a foot bath
is a container of the special solu-
ton supported over the bath and
allowed to drip constantly into the
bath below. Even this is far from
perfect protection.
Floors of shower rooms need to
be scrubbed frequently with hot
soapy water then mopped with a
chlorine or creosal solution. 1t
helps a good deal if they can be ex-
posed to sunlight or ultra violet
light.
