o o TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1960 o 0 Proper Shoes for Children Urged To Avoid Deformities MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. o o New York - IVPD - For feet's ake, select proper shoes and locks for your children. many parents apparently aon t pay as much attention to this down-to-earth problem as thev should Recent studies by the Na tional root Health Council show that 85 per cent of the girls and 65 npr mnt rr boys in high school have foot aeiecis. Dr. Joseph Lelyveld, chair man of the council, sairt thai nearly all the defects and de- iormities could have been prevented if children wore both shoes and hosiery that fit properly. Not surprisingly, most foot troubles are caused by wear ing improper and poorly fit ting socks and by wearing outgrown shoes. Deformities Developed Lelyveld said the result is that children develop deform ities of the toes, weak feet and large joints. "These defects frequently become major deformities in later life, causing discomforts ranging from headaches to symptoms of arthritis," he taid. As the foot experts figure It, a child's foot is not com pletely formed until after the age of 18. "Understand this," Lelyveld aid, "you can see how little feet can easily be mis-shaped by socks that are tight at the toes." In select for your children's feet, the expert said, you should con sider the following points: -A shoe should havp a fw. ible sole: It should provide adequate support under the arch and fit snugly but not tightly around the heel. In fitting the shoe, there should be the width of the adult thumb between the end of the toe and the end of the shoe. -To eliminate pressure on children's toes, caused by tight socks, a sock that is one half inch- longer than the longest toe should be worn. -Bulky socks, especially in tight fitting shoes, tend, to produce irritations which fre quently result in calluses, or blisters. Generally, bulky socks absorb moisture very well but evaporate it very poorly. ' -Socks selected should be capable of keeDins the fppt dry under conditions of heat, cold, dampness and perspira tiorl indun:d bv the extremr activity of children. -Ihe socks should be of a yarn that has the three-fold caDacitv of hieh nhsnrhi-nnv adequate porosity to allow air lo circulate around the feet, and a wicking ability to con duct perspiration to othpr portions of the socks where u win oe easily evaporated by more even moisture distribution. -With a growing child, They'll Do It I&ery Time O When the Kids were on VACATION THEIR WAIL J WAS ALWAYS TO DO" By jimmy Hatlo 13 (SM WHV DON'T VOU GO vjlf TvilN IS NOTHINy gaatggauM?

Should you allow your children to run around in their barefeet? "Let's go back lo the In dians for the answer to that question,"1 Lelyveld said. The braves went bare footed, but always on soft ground, sand or grass. Our feet need protection from the modern hard surfaces of floors and pavements. "Shoes give you that pro- lection."
