The dies and (Bolds used in making the "Beaver Money” are also on display. Early In 1849, eight prominent citizens formed the Oregon Exchange com pany and began minting five and ten- dollar gold coins to meet the problem of what to use for money. Although about 6,000 five-dollar coins and 2,850 ten-dollar coins were minted, few of these early pieces are in exist ence today. Their rarity is explained by the fact that they actually con tained more gold than their face value and were bought up and shipped to California where they were melted into 50-dollar gold slugs. Also included in the Oregon Histor ical Caravan are many old photo graphs and lithographs, early imple ments, trade items, famous letters and other documents.

What concerns foot specialists is that during this spree of shoe buying, most people—particularly women — to concentrate on style and ignore health and com fort factors — which is why so many of us sullet from foot ail ments of one kind or another Unsuitable and poorly Atting shoes are chiefly re sponsible for foot disorders That is why podiatrists stress the itn porta nee of proper footgear On the basis of my own practice and the experience of hundreds of othei foot doctors, we have learned that light, flexible, loath« - <t shoos are best from the viewpoint ol both health and comfort. Leather soles nave been found to be an important factor in foot health, because the fibrous struc ture of leather permits breath Ing"—that is it allows the foot U receive air and evaporate perspi ration, at the same time that it provides the necessary flrmn»s« and support. Here are a few simple rules to follow when buying your next pair ,Qi shoes: Have both feet measured tn a Standing position. Take the size called for by the longer of the two feet, since nearly all people have feet of unequal size. See that the widest part of the foot rests com fortably at the widest purl ot the shoe The big toe joint should res' at the turn of the leather sole to assure a good heel to ball tit Be certain that the vamp is neither too tight nor too loose across the widest part of the foot Make sure that there is at least one half inch of space between your toe and the tip of the shoe. The neei and counter should give snug support without pinching or chafing. Since so many women wear high heels, flrm support at the back is particularly important A gaping heel will cause constant slipping of the foot within tne shoe. resulting in painful bumps and callouses on the neei ant also at the metatarsel joint. For all-around wear, excessively high heels should be avoided. church attending the district conven tion of Christian churches at the Court St. church in Salem Thursday included Mrs. Glen Shelton and Ellen, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Shepherd and Bill, Mr. and Mrs. Jull, Wilma and Ralph.
