Jogging Fun, Often Painful
BY RUTH MEYER
CHAPEL HILL - The
new Jogger experiences the
joy of movement, the thrill
of accomplishment and, all
too often, a lot of foot and leg
pain.
Most of these problems
result from jumping into the
activity too hard and too
fast, says a specialist in
sports medicine at the
University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“Jogging is a more
strenuous activity than most
people realize,” says Dr.
Timothy N. Taft, assistant
professor of orthopedic
surgery in the School of
Medicine. “It’s a good sport.
But the new jogger must
come to the activity
prepared.”
Jogging jolts the body,
Taft says. It send shocks
through muscles, tendons
and joints. The resulting
heel, arch and ankle pains,
foot cramps and shin
discomfort that joggers
complain of can be
prevented in most people,
he says, with a conditioning,
program and good shoes.
Tony Waldrop, UNC-CH’s
former world record holder
in the indoor mile, says
experience taught him the
wisdom of thorough con
ditioning.
“I did too much, too fast,
even for my condition,” he
says about his early college
workouts. “I developed
extreme problems with mv
arches.” Waldrop had to
tape his arches, wear shoe

rehabilitation program.
“It’s better to prevent that
kind of injury than try to
repair the damage af
terward,” Taft says. “A
strong and supple muscle is
rarely injured.
“Stretching exercises,
like those described in many
books available, will get
weak muscles into shape.”
Abdominal and back
muscles, as well as leg and
foot muscles, will probably
need conditioning in the
beginner,” he says.
“And it’s just common
sense to begin jogging in
moderation,” he adds. “A
Helms Cited For Voting
WASHINGTON, DC. -
U S. Sen. Jesse Helms has
been cited by the National
Taxpayers Union for his
record of “responsible
voting on behalf of the
American taxpayers.” The
North Carolina lawmaker
was presented a plaque in
ceremonies held in the
Capitol. Greensboro in
dustrialist E.A. Morris, a
member of the Union’s
Advisory Board, made the
presentation.
Helms was among the top
three members of the
Senate to be honored. Sen.

Schemes Warning Given
GREENSBORO - Berton
L. Amsberry, state director,
U.S. Savings Bonds
Division, Department of the
Treasury, today cautioned
residents of North Carolina
about becoming involved in
chain-letter or similar
schemes to “get rich quick"
with Savings Bonds.
Many years’ experience
with chain schmes indicates
that most participants lost
their entire investment,
according to Amsberry.
This is because the supply of
interested persons is soon
exhausted. The greater the
amount to be invested, the
sooner the saturation point
is reached.
Banks and other issuing
agencies are, therefore,
authorized by the Treasury
to refuse applications for
bonds where there is reason
to believe they will be used
in a chain-letter scheme.
Chain-letter schemes
which use the mails to
facilitate their purpose are
considered by the Postal
Service as a violation of the
postal lottery and fraud law.
Further, postal officials
have warned that, even
though the lists of par
ticipants are not circulated
in the mails, this does not
alter the illegality of the
operation since, usually, the
bonds or other evidence of
participation in the schemes

durance.”
A new jogger might well
start by going a quarter
mile every other day, he
says, then slowly builds up
trom there.
And, Taft says well-fitting
jogging shoes are a must. .
“A lot of people make the
mistake of starting to jog in
tennis shoes, but tennis
shoes don’t have enough
support, especially in the
heel where most of the
body’s weight hits the
running surface first.”

are mailed. There is also the
possibility that the scheme
may violate local anti
lottery laws, even if the
mails are not used.
In addition to the fact that
chain-letter schemes violate
federal law, the Treasury
believes the public should be
made aware that such
schemes do a distinct
disservice to the Savings
Bonds Program. Rather
than encouraging persons to
make genuine investments,
they create the illusion that
participants are both aiding

THE CHOWAN HERALD
For the jogger who takes
proper precautions and still
• has foot and leg pains, there
is hope, Taft says. “Most
people can be helped with an
assortment of adjustments
to their shoes, such as pads
or supports.”
But even with special
shoes and a good training
program, some people still
will have pain and
' discomfort from jogging,
Taft says.
“They just have to find
other activities, like
swimming or cycling, that
provide exercise without
putting strain on their feet
and legs.”
Congressional votes

represent all authorization
votes, appropriation votes
or votes on amendments

Certain tax issues which
had a gross effect on

However, in several cases

budgets (eg. the Health,

Individuals who purchase
