Some members Of Congress
are trying to enact various
forms of Federal health in
surance for older people.
Others in Congress and some
labor unions are urging some
form of socialized medicine
for them. The American
Medical Association is taking
steps to provide medical care
for the aged. Some insurance
companies are seeking to
meet the problem with
health insurance that retired
people can afford.
Poor Go Hungry
Still, the poor go hungry to
pay SIS a month for medical
help. And people with $37, 900
grow old scared.

Another feature Of the evening

championship basketball team to
Principal L. B. Buckley for the
school. Former outstanding ath-

former instructor and coach of La
nier and ]. o. Thomas, the father
in-law of Coach Braxton.
Special recognition was accorded
Rudolph Williams and Roscoe Will
liams for making the National ALL
Tourney team, and Linell Moore
and Cleveland Pippins for being

Footsore
Diplomats Trudge
Toward. Summit

The Russians bow out of East
West diplomatic conferences, Ge-
neva wags say, because they
haven't a leg to stand on. The
Americans sit to the bitter end
because their feet ache.
Moreover, it is a moot question
whether American diplomats could
reach the summit if they had to
hike it. For the men in homburgs
and getaways, like other Ameri-
cans, suffer from a multitude of
foot ailments which cause periodic
discomfort and irritation.
On the occasion of Foot Health
Week, observed May 22-29 this
year, the American Foot Care In
stitute called for national effort
to improve the health Of the Amer
lean people from the groud up.
Putting Americans on a better
footing, DR.. Benjamin Kauth,
prominent podiatrist and Institute
director, pointed out, is a matter
of simple hygiene, exercise and
correct footwear.
Since most foot troubles stem
from wearing the wrong shoes,
the foot specialist noted, foot care
must begin in the shoe store. With
so many hundreds of styles, shapes
and sizes available to American
men, women and children, it is no
trick to obtain a trouble-free shoe
to match any fad or fashion

Of Athletics at Tougaloo Southern

speaker at the annual athletic BAN

Using the subject, think and
Grow Tall", Coach Braxton gave
one of the most challenging and
inspiring messages delivered at a
Lanier banquet in recent years.
Throughout his address he cited
incidents to prove that persons who
had accepted challenges to think
deep and work hard had invaria-
bly, succeeded.
He began his speech by reading
the poem "Lord Make A Real Man
OF Me-" So effective was the mes
sage of the poem and the manner
in which it was read that his audi
ence was virtually sitting on the
edges of their seats drinking in
every word uttered.

Altogether it was an orderly pro-
