Strap Shoes A Danger
By MAURICE CARTER
Strap shoes are currently pop
ular and have straps all the way
up to the knee.
If the straps are tied too tight,
though, it leads to many compli
cations, caused by the irregular
flow of blood.
Some complications are vari
cose veins, which cause fatigue,
aching or a feeling of heaviness
in the lower leg after standing.
There may be swelling of the
ankle and discoloration of the
legs.
Varicose veins can lead to
hemmorhages and blood clots
which are very serious.
One should be able' to under
stand why strap shoes harm one’s
health.
History will bear witness to the
fact that strap shoes can cause
still births and malformed bab
ies, During the decline of Rome
many women could not bear he
althy children.
If you search history, you will
find these women wore strap
shoes. Hemmorhages occurred
frequently among the women of
Rome.
Strap shoes, it has been said,
are a birth control tool like “the
pill or abortion.”

Accidents” Delay Guldescu,
But Show Still Goes, On
By TERECIA MELVIN
Dr. Stanko Guldescu, a mem
ber of the history faculty, has
great affection for cats and dogs.
F or at least the past two and a
half years, and maybe longer,
he has gathered food scraps from
the dining hall for his pets, fe
eding strays all over the neigh
borhood. Its a natural scene, an
everyday thing.
One ^y recently he brought
his goodies out of the dining hall
as usual, and left them on the
steps. When he returned from a
second trip some neighborhood
kids had overturned his box.
Doc had to retrieve his goodies
as the kids made a desperate
dash to "get away”.
This little “accident” caused
Dr. Guldescu a little dealy in
rounding up his food, and also
caused him to miss his bus home.
He usually takes the 6:15 Mur
chison Road bus downtown, then
catches the 6:40 to Hope Mills.
Unfortunately, he missedthe6:15
and didn’t have enough time to
walk downtown to catch the 6:40.
He was stuck on campus for the
night without his supper.
His wife usually met him at the
Cumberland bus stop. So he cal
led home tolether know he wasn't
coming. There was no answer. He
called at 20 minute intervals for
the next two hours, but still no
answer.
Finally he called a neighbor
who relayed a message to her.
It turned out that his phone was
out of order, and wasn't fixed
until the next day.
At this point in his trials and
tribulations. Doc theorized an old
adage that sums up everything.
He said: “For want of a horse
shoe nail, the horseshoe 'vas
lost; for want of the horseshoe,
the horse was lost; for want of
the horse, the rider was lost;
for want of the rider, the battle
was lost; for want of the battle,
the war was lost; because the
war was lost, the kingdom was
lost.”
The moral of the story is:...
one little difficulty can lead to
many more. But that hasn’t stop
ped Dr. Guldescu. At last glance
he was still on the scene, doing
his daily thing.
