How can I tell when my chil
dren’s shoes are outgrown?
Most mothers whose chil
dren’s shoes prove to be a
size or 1W sizes shorter than
their measurement tell the
shoeman that they felt the
toe and there seemed to be
room. There are many rea
sons why this manner of
resting is not reliable. The
Child may have been sitting
down; the shoes may be too
>w to allow his toe to
lown into the front; etc.
Consider this: the great
toe of most babies when they
are fitted for their first pair
of shoes is about 1% inch in
length. When they reach
adult life those great toes
will be only 2 to 3 inches
long. The major growth is
behind the toes. We think of
the toes growing into the
fronts of shoes but actually
they are pushed there by the
gtorth of the mass of the
foot.
We should not allow that
pressure to crowd the soft
bones of young feet against
the ends of shoes, sox or
sleeper feet. In fact almost
all of the common foot de
fects can be avoided if the
great toe is allowed to re
main straight.
The only reliable way to
check the fit of shoos is to
remeasure the feet, being
careful to be guided by the
length of the longer foot.

“One morn I min’d him on
the custom’d hill,
Along the heath, and near
his fav’rite tree;
Another come, nor yet beside
the rill,
Nor np the lawn, nor at the
wood was he ... ”
“ • . No farther seek his mer
its to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from
their dread abode.
(There they alike in tremb
ling hope repose,)
The bosom of his Father
and his God.”
Thomas Gray
Elegy Written In A
Village Churchyard
ALMAR Farm has lost a
good friend, one Marge and I
shall surely miss and long re
member. He was Jason Leander
Gillespie, Sr., a lifelong native
of upper Transylvania County
and a man closely connected
with our home, for be had lived
here on and off for i goodly
number of his 70 years.
A week ago last Saturday,
we drove to Cherryfield Bap
tist Church through a morn
ing filled with summer sun
shine. There we paid our last
respects to a friend and
neighbor who had seen the
summer mornings of 70 Julys,
but on this one was leaving
the world’s sunshine forev
er.
The church was bright and
beautiful, with the morning
sun through the tall windows
gilding the banked flowers at
the altar. It was a solemn oc
casion; ret the cool sanctuary
with the sunshine and bright
flowers had ah aspect of light
and beauty that even the som
ber gray of the casket could
not dispel. I thought how ap
propriate this was for Leandlr
Gillespie, for he was not a sodi
ber man. He was a cheerful,
smiling man; and despite hard
ships, his was a life full Of
smiles and chuckles. He would
not have wanted his earthly
farewell to be dismal and dark.
His surname, Gillespie, is
that of an old and honored
Transylvania family. His giv
en names were those of two
Greek heroes of legend—Ja
son was the adventurer who
was noted for his successful
quest, of the Golden Fleece;
Leander was the youth who
swam the Hellespont nightly
to visit. Hero of Sestros. Jas
on Leander Gillespie was a
farmer, and also a legend in
Ids own way, for he reared
a family of nine children by
tilling the soil. No easy acc
complishment. that, as any
fanner can tell yon.
Mr. Gillespie was living on
our place when we bought it,
and ever since had seemed to
belong there. He probably felt
that Way too, for Leander Gll
, iespie’s roots were deep in the
land that ia now ALMAR Farm.
He was born there and lived all
his life practically in sight of
our house.
Hit actual birth place was
Just down the river and across
the ridge, in a house near
where my neighbor Ji* Fath
er lives now. You might my

that «n a part of oar farm
then, for his father owned
moat of the land this side of
the river for quite a ways up
and down stream. He played
here as a boy and, as a young
man, had worked the land
that M how our home.
In his young manhood, the
land passed to the Elder F. M.
Jordan, the legendary Baptist
preacher who w„s a religious
pioneer of Western North Car
olina. leander married Annie
Jordan, the famous preacher’s
daughter, in a house that once
stood on the oak-wooded knoll
that is noW part of our pasture.
And he ahd his wife lived there
until the Elder Jordan died at
the age of 94.
He once worked a while at
logging with the late tommy
Galloway who lived over on
the highway it Calvert; work
ed one summer on road con
struction in the Davidson Riv
er section, I’m told; bnt al
most his entire life was spent
as a farmer, and most of it
on or in sight of ALMAR
Farm. That’s why we felt
like he belonged here.
Marge and I had known him
for only seven of his 76 years,
but we needed fflr lets than
that to recognize a friend. We
called on him for advice, for
help, for a share of his know
ledge of our place when we
first came here. And long later,
after he’d moved fo his new
home on East Fork, we called
on him and he always respond
ed.
Marge celled him on a
snowy, winter day when I
was away and the cattle got
out. He and son Jason
came, put them back and
fixed the fence. I once
called on him when I had
trouble with the cabin septic
tank, asked him to come ov
er and show me where the
drain field ran; for he’d been
there when the tank was
built. He came over and
showed us where to dig.
The ministers who conducted
his funeral service, the Rev
erends James Parham, Jessie
Meece and Dan Wallin, stressed
Leander Gillespie’s exemplary
religious life, his steadfastness
in support of his church and
community; his success as a
father and family man. But I
shall remember most his cheer
fulness, his friendly good
neighborliness and his gentle
sense of humor. I’ll always re
member his chuckles at my in
experienced farm questions and
diplomatic answers that en
couraged rather than discout
aged me in my farm ignorance
We liked meeting him at
Gordon Hardin's store for a
few words of neighborly farm
tslk; we liked having him
drop oVer to shell his meal
corn on our old fashioned
corn shelter. We liked know
ing we had the knowledge and
expeHhnce of such a friend
just across the mountain oh
Ea«« Pork. We liked Leand
er Gillespie.
We’re sorry he is gone.
