"FOOT HEALTH IMPORTANT TO PHYSICAL FITNESS"

Today's "average" youth is as strong and skilled as the "superior" youth of Are years ago, according to the President's Council on Physical Fitness. The Council reports that many states have recently strengthened their requirements, while a high percentage of schools have increased the amount of time dedevoted to vigorous games and exercise. Some states have established Governors' Councils on Physical Fitness. Physical Fitness can be defined in many ways. Certainly It is the ability of the individual to live a full and balanced life. Foot health must form part of total health; in the attempt to achieve a full and balanced way of life. Dr. Edwin N. Barron, Sr., President of the American Podiatry Association, points out that foot neglect continues among Americans In all age categories, but especially in our youngsters. He indicated that an estimated 60 percent of school children suffer from foot disorders, with 10-15 requiring professional treatment Proper foot care in the early years of life will assist substantially In making the adult not only healthier but more productive. An established regimen of preventive and regular care will also help to forstall serious foot problems later. Dr. Barron stated, for example, that twice as many Americans were re

jected for foot disorders as for dental defects In the first draft of World War II. ' "Such faota are generally ig nored or overlooked," eald the podiatry president "Most of us fall to realize the ImporS of our physical foundation our feet" In a statement made last M vember. President Lyndon B. Johnson pointed out, "Despite

the ease and convenience of modern life, tb . crucial tasks t our times demand as much strength a Hi stamina as any in the past Physical fit nees is, therefore, a matter ol

Dr. Barron personal concern for every c i t i i e n. People who spend some leisure timt in vigorous and enjoy able activities are far more Ilk ly to lead long, productive liYea than those who confuse leisure with laziness. More and more, wi are coming to recognize thai physical fitness in the young If the best insurance against laflrmlty and enforced Idleness la old age."

Prominent Designers Salute The Woman Who Sews Leading fashion designers today cater to "the woman whose chic wardrobe is of her own making. To witthis January, up-to-the-minute pattern fashions created by leading American designers and presented by The Singer Company were a highlight of New York Couture Group National Press Week, . The star-studded list of designers represented in the Singer showing include Coty Award winner Sylvia de Gay, Countess Alexander, Oleg Cassini, John Weitz, Larry Aldrich, Mr. Blackwell and others of equal stature. .. . . ' ; ' ' . . Why do these top ready-to-wear designers care about the woman who sews? Because her number is increasing at a phenomenal rate of speed.. During 1965, 1,800,000 sewing machines were purchased. More than 50 of these were first-time purchases rather than replacements and would add close to a million new sewers to the 40,000,000 already stitching away on their machines. v Contrary to what many of the uninitiated may believe, saving money is not the prime motivation behind the tremendous increase in women who sew their own clothes. In fact, many spend at least as much, on fabric as they would for ready-to-wear. These savvy ladies have a high fashion I.Q. They know that by investing $50 in fabric and a dollar or two in a pattern and notions, they can have perfectly fitted "original" ensemble. Today's designers are well aware of that lady who prefers to "do it herself" and more and more are making their best designs available tb the woman who sews. . , Fabrics for the three show-stoppers pictured here are available in many of the 650 Singer Centers across the country which stock fashion by-the-yard. Patterns in misses sizes 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 can be ordered through this newspaper. To order, send ONE DOLLAR for each designer pattern to (Name of Your Newspaper), Pattern Department P O.

"Go-Go" dress with its own gaiters, designed by Coty award winner, Sylvia De Gay A brilliant meld of colors in an improbable floral print on a navy cotton, used for the dress, is banded in the hottest of pinks in a vinyl-coated cotton for a shiny, leather look. The gaiters, new fashion offshoot of the boot craze, are of the same wild print Vinylcoated fabrics by-the-yard are sewable, according to Singer experts, if the needle is very, very sharp and the fabric is not pulled but fed gently through the sewing machine.

"Mannish plaid, feminine color, shapely cut comblnH In Oleg CassinPs suit ok Oleg Cassini adopts the current passion for tattersall plaids in his suit-dress, which displays this designer's well-known penchant for femininity. Softly belted, collarless, with 4 gently shaped jacket and easy skirt lines, Cassini s soft look is furthered by the gentle blues, stroked with yellow, of the lightweight wool plaid in which it is shown. Matching plaids perfectly, Singer experts point out, is essential to a high-fashion look. In doing this, one point to remember is to cut all pattern pieces' running in the same direction.
