Sunday 927 Thomas Street TELEPHONE 2-6652 Beauty Secrets Are Revealed By ROSE META Of New York On your toes: Proper care of the feet is one of the most important parts of beauty care, but one which is too often overlooked by usually beauty-wise women. All of us are aware of the fact that if our feet hurt, they affect our general health and our looks. Painful feet can etch lines in the face that add years to our ages. Both for the sake of health and appearance, here are a few im- portant do’s and don’ts which should be followed for proper foot care, The first and one of the most important rules in assuring foot health is cleanliness. Regular daily bathing and massaging of the feet and rubbing them briskly with a dry towel form the foun- dation of foot care. Special attention should be paid to some of the things which if not seen to lead to troubles later in life. In this category is the need to see that both youru shoes and stockings give ample room for the feet to move freely. If either of these foot coverings bind and are too tight, they may cause ser- ious problems with the arches, bunions blisters and painful corns. In addition to massage to ease foot discomfort after a hard day | of standing and walking on floors and paavements, here is an ex- ercise which will stimulate cir- culation and put the 26 bones of the foot in proper position: Place a golf ball or hard rubber ball about the same size on the floor. Stand on one foot and rest the other foot on the ball. Roll the ball back aand forth under the arch and toes, putting just enough pressure on it to give. a stimulat- ing massage and to activate all the joints of the foot. Now treat the other foot in the same way, Be- fore many days have passed, You'll think you’re walking on air instead of on the sidewalks of cement. Problems of fallen arches, bun- ions and other really serious foot ailments cannot be handled at home. They require the attention of trained specialists, whose back- grounds prepare them not only to aid you in those problems, but to get at their basic causes, Here’s hoping you'll stay on your toes and take care of your feet.

DEAN Last week we covered the out-| fielders. This took us over all the positions of the diamond. Be- cause of the enthusiasm of the baseball fans we shall continue to bring to their minds some of the | other pleasant memories of base- ball events that we ‘have had the opportunity of seeing Besides some of the old Giants, we -have had some outstanding teams to play here. I, Alfonso Dean, like to re- member the old Miami Giants whose team comprised such stars as “Tom” Wilson, ‘catching; “Speed” Johnson, pitching; “Lefty” Baillou , first baseman; “Buck” O’Neil, second baseman; Wilfred, third baseman; Ormand Sampson, short-stop; and ‘‘Bub- ber” Johnnie Moore, right field. Willie Water owned the team and Paton Gabriel, an old’ Key Wester, was the manager. These men did everything right. Lefty brought the hand style of playing first base; Buck O'Neil was the best second baseman ever to go in action; Ormand Sampson, | only 16 years of age at the time was as good as they come. He ended up managing a team in South America, Weighing about 200 pounds, he was a fast field-, THEY PLAYED THE GAME ing and hitting centerfielder. Rufus “Mc Cleare was managing Key West at the time the Giants pliyed here. There was a Cuban by the name of | El Saguiro who came here posing as an outstanding pitcher, “Mc- Graw” relying on what El Saguiro said he could do, pinned: all hope on the fact that he could shut out the Giants, El Saguiro needed a pair of $15.00 shoes to pitch in, and a special glove. On came that memorial game. ‘‘Bubber” Samp- son, “Big Wheel’ hit the ball so hard and distant that El Saguiro walked from the box saying that Roosevelt was giving away the signal. # As can plainly be seen, El Saguiro did not have the stuff, The only salvation for Key West was that ‘old Farmer Ray went into the box and cut them down until the ninth inping. It was on that day that Roosevelt Sands hit the ball into deep left-field, and “Buster” McKnight ran behind a ear and pullgd a ball. out of his Pocket to put Roosevelt out. Fans witnessing this act éame running in to tell what happened. Next week, I shall tell of the outstanding teams that played? here. ‘ highlights. of the commencement season was the alumni ban- quet.
