Podiatrist Says American
Foot Health Getting Worse

can women reputedly have
the most beautiful legs in the
world. But ouch their feet!
They're in a bad way, get
ting worse all the time, and
the pointed toes fashion dic

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

But instead he stuck to a dis

" 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."

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.
