By HOB CONWAV
Playing against the Canton ,
Black Bears ? Haywood County's
version of the Harleni Glolie Trot
ters ? the Wavnesvllle Mountain- 1
eers gained vrr> little Friday
night except a round trip to the
Paper City in losing. 72-117 in a
one-sided contest.
The Waynosville git Is. how ever
were far more fortunate and were
able to bring back a 55-45 victory
over the Canton I.ady Bears
In the boxs game, nine Moun
taineers were barely able to out
score talented Dewayne Milner oi
Canton, who threw in 30 points
just seven less than the combined
total for W'THS. Except for co
captains Joe Aldrldge and Tommy
Nichols, the Gold and Black marks-1
men were as cold Friday night as
the weather outside
Canton jumped all to an early
lead and was out in front. 14-4. at
the end of the first quarter and
26-15 at the half. After the inter
mission. the bruins turned on the
power and from then on it was
just a question of how high the
score would go as the Bears' fast
break rang up points as fast as the
scorers could put them on the
hoard.
Towering center David Ander
son was second high seoror for
Canton with 20-points mostly on \
tip-ins. Aidridge amassed 15 \
points for the Mountaineers
many on his favorite jump shot
On free throws, Waynesyille
players hit exactly half of their
attempts ? 14 out of 28. Canton
caged 17 out of 23.
In the girls game, the I.ady Beai ?
managed to grab the lead earlv in
the game and were ahead. 10-9 at
the end of the first quarter. But
the Mountainettes took command
in the second period and finished
in front, 21-16, at the intermission
They were never in serious Manger
thereafter despite some fine
shooting b\ Jean Surrett. who hit
25 for Canton
Betty Smith meshed 23 points
for Waynesville. while Agnes Rob
erson tossed in another 20. , n

Uncle Sam Aids Parents
In Buying Children's Shoes
By ANNETTE DAVIS
(For Jane Fads)
WASHINGTON ? To forestall
ome of the trouble that adults
lave with their feet, the Children's
lureau has put out a guide for
tarents on buying children's shoes.
Miss Clara Arrington, physical
herapist for the bureau, says that
, lot of adult foot trouble can be
raeedto improperly fitted shoes in
hildhood In "Your Children's
>et and Footwear." she offers
hese suggestions for buying cliil
Iren's shoes:
Take the child with you. A size
lumber won't do Measure both
cet. There is a little difference
n the length of many people's
eet. If the left foot is longer, fit
he shoe fits the wides part of
?hild is standing the shoe should
>e at least one-half inch longer
han the big toe
See that the counter 'the stiff
lieee of the shoe around the heel!
its snugly but. not ?o tlghtlv that
he heel can't make a slight up
ind down movement. The shank
the narrow part of the sole in
ront of the heeli should fit well
nto the arch of the foot. It should
>e firm but not made of rigid ma
erial.
Be certain that the widest part of

I half an inch high. After that, as
, the child grows, the heel can be
Increased to one inch. A teen-age
1 girl may want ,c> wear moderate
or high heels, but she should save
them for special occasions such as
! dances. The oxford type shoe is |
best for eve-; -'iy wear.
Likewise, says Miss Arrington.
gym shoes, ballet slippers, loafers
and high heel cowboy boots are de
signed for a special purpose afid
I should not be worn continuously.
| For some children, heel repair may
be necessary every two weeks.
Miss Arrington recommends rub
ber heels because they prevent
unnecessary jarring.
, She sa\s socks and stockings are
important, too. because they help
absorb perspiration and prevent
friction. They should be longer
; than the Joot but not so long that
they wrinkle.
As a final word of caution, Miss
Arrington says don't depend upon
an X-ray machine to determine a
good fit?"In the first place it does
not show how a shoe fits, and some
doctors feel it is a very real source
of danger."
