Don't Wear Improper Shoes

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. O. SHOES arc a necessity for civilized living. Few, if any of us. would want to do without them and none of us could, under modern conditions. At the same -time it Is true that improper tlioes have resulted in a great deal of discomfort and. at times, real suffering. The right sort of shoes must be made in away to protect the feet against injury. But they should not be so rigid as to prevent proper use of the foot. A shoe should be waterproof but yet porous enough to permit air to get through. Shoes should be durable, easily repaired and easily available. It is better to have more than one pair of shoes so that they may be changed every other day. Suitable Material At present there does not seem to be any material which is as suitable for as leather. However, there is some indication -that synthetic materials may sooner or later be constructed which will have the same properties as leather and even improve upon leather. According to Dr. Norman C. Lake of England, there are certain things about shoes upon which all experts agree. First, •Ince the inner border of the undeformed foot is straight, the shoe along this border also should he atralght Second, that some sort of heel is necessary except for certain

If politics has reached that stage, the hoys better check their guns outside. for someone is going to get seriously hurt. They'd he belter off to start the day with singing that swaying, stimulating song. "Oklahoma.” It might change their mood. —o O —— Two eminent speakers will deliver Hie commencement addresses - nt the local high schools this I spring. As was announced. Rodeny 11. Brandon, director of PublicWelfare for the state of Illinois and a co-founder of the Loyal order of Moose, and the Child City ol Moosehart, will address the De- < atur Junior-Senior high school graduates on May 22. The Rev. ' John Anthony O’Brien, noted edu- j c-ator, lecturer, and instructor in religion at the University of Notre Dame will speak at the Decatur Catholic high school exercises on June 6. Both men will have some-1 thing worthwhile to say and their visits here affords the people of this community the opportunity to hear two of (he best speakers in the iniddlewest. —o—O'Decatur 7300 Based on city mail carrier delivery stops, the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce in taking a cross-section sample of Hoosierland. estimates Decatur's present population at 7,300. That is an increase of 1.500 over the goverment's sixteenth decennial census of 1340, which credited the city with 5,861 residents. What the 1950 cehsus will show is your guess. Every citizen realizes that a heavy gain in population has been made in the last five years. Increased employment which started here during the war years has not slackened and many new families have made this city, which celebrated its Centennial in 1336. thejr home Then too, Bundles from Heaven, have given us new life. It is an actual fad that Decatur has grown and is a brighter place in which to live. There are more homes, increased church membership, a large increase in the number of city electric and water users, telephone and gas utility customers. The mail carriers have more patrons and the city circulation of this newspaper could easily substantiate the claim that the population was nearing the 7.5»m» mark. And Decatur is not only growing bigger, but it is also "rowing better.

kinds of slippers. In the average shoe for men the heel is about seven-eighths of an inch high. This height affords a good firm Imsis for walking and wear without upsetting the normal balance of the foot. It has been suggested that the female foot requires a higher heel There would not seem to be any good basis for this belief, according to Dr. Lake. Slight Disturbance On the other hand a heel about one and one-half inches high produces slight, if any. disturbance in the normal working of the foot. If a heel is higher than this too much of the body weight is thrown on the front part of the foot, and this may cause certain disorders to develop affecting the front part of the foot. In such instances too much of the weight is thrown on the heads of what are known as the metatarsal boees which are the bones Just behind the toes. This part of the foot la not constructed to bear the body weight, and this may re»ult in spreading of the metatarsals with the production of pain In the foot, and bunions. The shoe H should fit closely around the heel. The fit around the instep must also be sntig and the shoe should be strongly constructed at this point. Attention to these few simple details about footwear will save us much font trouble which plag»e H so many people today
