Council (Continued From Page 1) in city traffic patterns would require that money be spent in other areas such as improvement of arterial streets. Second Ward Alderman James Hyland who did not run for re-election this term delivered a farewell message to the Council.

He will manage Dodge Lanes, a bowling alley currently under construction, which will have a liquor license. State statute prevents him from managing the establishment and retaining his council seat. Accordingly, Hyland said his decision not to run was dictated by state statute rather than by personal choice. Earlier this year he said he would run for mayor but then withdrew his candidacy for the same reason. He said he had helped residents of the city" and the community that he loved according to the best of his abilities and that he had enjoyed the opportunity to do so.

Much work remains to be done by the Council, he said, and he named such projects as a tax designed to help homeowners, improved street lighting, better storm sewer facilities, improved police and fire protection and better working conditions for members of the street and water departments. Oaths of office were administered to the 2 new aldermen, Merrill Schwebke of the second ward and Marvin Schuster of the fourth ward, as well as to re-elected officials, Mayor Lester Cunningham, City Clerk Marion Mason, Treasurer William H. Grady and Alderman Graves, Widhalm, and Hetland. Mayor Cunningham thanked the out-going aldermen and the entire old council for the work it had done. At the next regular meeting of the Council, he will announce committee appointments and make a statement on work facing aldermen in the coming year.

THE FITTING STOOL Hv Les Halters In the very young child, just beginning to walk, the foot and leg movements often are awkward and the feet appear to be unusually weak and unable to support his body weight. In spite of diversified opinions, 1 believe the toeing (Pigeon-toe) of a child is nature's protection to a weak arch. Rather than feel the strain on the arch, due to weakness, a child will, instinctively abduct body weight on the outside of the foot. We are told that this weakness of the soft tissue is due to the improper use of the foot, faulty attitudes, long continued standing, and particularly, wrong footwear worn by civilized races dating back many generations.

They also claim that this condition is becoming more and more common. But, intelligent modern mothers are beginning to show more interest than their ancestors.
