Barefoot Boy
The barefoot boy has been a fa
vorite theme for artists and poets
ever since the "cult of the common
place’’ started a hundred and fifty
years and more ago. Unquestionab
ly he is a charming person when
met in poems and pictures, per
haps at one time he was charming
in real life. Today he is more than
apt to have athlete’s foot, and no
one can be charming under such
conditions.
How prevalent the disease was
before the "public bathing” habit
started no one knows. Today nearly
every other person has or has had
athlete’s foot, and generally the
sufferer caught it in a bath house
or a public shower or a swimming
pool or on the beach. It is highly
infectious, and may be caught in
one's own home if some one suffer
ing from it has been wandering
about barefoot.
in its early stages many people
do not recognize it. Children es
pecially, and most of all those who
have been permitted to go bare
foot, are seldom aware that there
is anything the matter until they
once more put on shoes and socks,
and experience the itching which
is characteristic of the complaint.
Allowed to go untended for any
length of time, athlete’s foot is very
hard to cure, and even when it
seems eradicated it is apt to re
appear in a few months. If a child
is really suspected of athlete's foot
he should be taken to a phyician
for expert diagnosis and care.
The best defense is prevention
and this is made possible only by'
constant watchfulness. Some public
pools provide disinfectants for use
before and after bathing, and chil
dren should be warned of the dan
gers of neglecting the precaution.
For the rest, the most one can do
is to make them shoe and slipper
conscious, and not let them wan
der about the countryside bare
foot, even on the hottest days.
Civilization with its crowds and
it infections demands a price. The
passing of the barefoot boy is part
of it.
History Markers
Will Be Placed
A survey ot historical spots in the
mountain area ot North Carolina,
tor the purpose of erecting highway
markers, will be undertaken dur
ing the next two weeks by Miss
Marybelle Delamar, acting collector
for the North Carolina hall of his
tory, who will leave Raleigh for the
west today. Miss Delmar is being
sent by the State Historical com
mission, C. C. Crittenden, secretary,
which is carrying on the historical
marker program in cooperation with
the department of conservation and
development and the highway and
public works commission. The leg
islature at its last session approp
riate $5,000 a year for the present
biennium for this purpose.
Miss Delamar on this trip expects
to cover the following counties:
Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Swain,
Macon, Jackson, Haywood, Transyl
vania, Madison, Buncombe, Hender
son, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery Mc
Dowell, Rutherford, Cleveland,
Burke and Caldwell. In each coun
ty she will confer with autburities
on loca’l history.
The markers, double faced and
made of aluminum, are of the 6ame
size as those of Virginia, but the
lettering is larger and the design
distincts.
