As her family were short of money and college was out of the question, the former looked like a more profitable line for a 17-year-old.

The doctors say that Junior's feet are probably worse off than Grandpa's ever were Why? Well. Grandpa's parents knew more about foot care than we do?his generation did a great deal more walking and thus were more conscious of shoes and foot com fort . Today's youngsters do a lot of their daily travel in cars and buses; and parents are apt to neglect, their feet ?Which is why school examinations turn up the fact that far too many children are wearing unsuitable and out grown shoes. The pair you bought Junior for the summer may still have a lot of wear in them, but chances are they're cramping his feet as he steps Into a new school year?and that can be the beginning of foot troubles that can plague him all his life With two or three months of rough vacation ploy behind them, now is a good time to check your children's shoes if you want them to walk into the new school year on healthy feet.
