But ouch their feet! They're in a bad way, get ting worse all the time, and the pointed toes fashion dic tates for us girls don't help the situation, says Dr. Joseph Lelyveld, chairman of the Na tional Foot Health council, in Rockland, Mass. Lelyveld looks so much like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale I expected a' biblical quote or two during our talks. But instead he stuck to a dis couraging sermon on what all of us man, woman and child are doing to turn our- Retired Teacher "To Be Honored By Delta Zeta Members of Delta Zeta sor ority from all parts of Oregon will gather in Corvallis Sat urday, May 17, to honor Mrs. Gertrude McElfresh for her 50 years of service to the sorority.

" The greatest danger period is childhood, the Massachusetts-born podiatrist sadi. Be cause a child's foot is pliable, he feels no pain when shoes and socks fit poorly. "More feet are harmed by wearing socks too small, or going without them, than by wearing improper shoes," he said. "We estimate that by the time kids get out of high school, 80 per cent of the girls and 65 per cent of the boys have foot trouble,'' he said. "The ills increase with age . . . 90 per cent of all adults over 40 have some sort of foot problem. Woman Suffer Most "Women are more affected than men, because they fol low fashion foibles. You want to know what those extreme ly pointed toes do to your feet?" I could have answered that I'd grown a whole new crop of corns and callouses, but after all Dr. Lelyveld is the expert. "The pointed toe upsets the natural function of the foot," he continued. "In- proper shoes, there are three weight bearing areas the heel, the ball of the foot, and the toes which pull us forward; in those shoes you're wearing, the ball of the foot alone carries all the weight. "Right now, nature is pro tecting the foot by growing corns and may be starting a bunion . . . the enlargement of the big toe joint. Ultimately the poor circulation leads to large ankles and varicose veins." Just Common Sens Lelyveld said he's not against a woman following fashion, if she does same with common sense. "Wear flats for sports occasions, high heels and whatever else you want in a dress shoe for special event. But not at work or out shopping." The podiatrist offers many tips for foot health. One of them is in the council's slogan "Walk and be healthy." He advocates three to five miles clipped off each day. "Best exercise in the world, he said. He also advocates, especial ly for children the wearing of mercerized cotton socks and stockings because of their "give" and absorbency. He op poses the stretch sock which will go on almost any size foot, because it often fits too tightly. "Buy socks or hosiery one-half inch longer than foot measurement," he said. I asked him about nylon hosfe. "Well," he said, "I know how sheer you women want them, but you'd be much wiser getting them with the mercerized cotton sole." futnre holds. ..admiring glances, on Initiation Held By Bethel 14; Events Planned Bethel 14, International Order of Job's Daughters, wel comed 13 new initiates and one affiliate into the group at a meeting held May 7 under the direction of the honored queen, Miss Sue Knight.

Dads To Be Subject Of Contest New York A competition that produced 20,000 letters last year on "Why I Like My Dad," under the sponsorship of a Letters to Father com mittee is announced in a new and expanded form for 1958. Father's Day comes June 15. Letters are invited on the theme of what father means to any child of high school age and under. The subject of father as a guide and coun sellor, as a companion, as a good provider, as a guard ian and disciplinarian are all involved. May 20th is the deadline on which letters may be mailed to the Committee, P.O. Box 328, Radio City Sta tion, New York. The concensus of last year's letters was that father is a hero, a guide, philosopher and friend. Companionship was the overall theme. The com panionable father leads, ad vises, and teaches by helping, by doing. Over and over again, the , experience was that "father helps me," whe ther it refers to skinning a fish, working out math prob lems, or mastering a machine. The material blessings that a father provides, such as shel ter, food or clothing were mentioned, but there wasn't one case of excessive grati tude or appreciation for ex travagant presents. The most outstanding ex pression of bliss resulting from a gift came from a young man who wrote, "He brought me home as a pet a baby boa constructor. He helped me build a pen for it and he took me to the store to buy turtle food for it." Since this had to do with Fa ther's Day, there was no ref erence to what Mother had to say about it. As prizes for the 1958 con test, the best letter from a boy on "Why I Like My Dad," will receive a Gilbert astron omical telescope, a Star Find er and a beginner's library in astronomy. The telescope is capable of viewing earth sat ellites. For the best letter from a girl, a portable sewing mach ine will be awarded. The fa thers of both winners, sub jects of the letters, will each receive a hardwood humidor of fine cigars. For the ten next best let ters, there will be honorable mention, with a prize of a Gilbert chemistry set for win ning boys, and a Gilbert Lab oratory Technician's set if the winner is a girl. The fath ers of the honorable mentions will receive boxes of cigars. 'Judges of the contest are Mrs. Mary E. Buchanan, edi tor of Parents Magazine; Al vin Austin, chairman, Nation al Father's day committee; Mrs. Sigana Earle, Seventeen magazine and Seventeen-at-School; Miss Elizabeth En right, author of "Gone Away Lake" which was awarded the Herald Tribune Spring Festival prize, and winner of the Newbery medal; and Wal ter Cronkite, moderator of CBS-TV's "Twentieth Cen tury" hour.
