On Her Feet Again "Have you an old pair of shoes that would be easy on the feet?" the refined ole lady of 72 years asked the Salvation Army wel- fare worker. Her husband had passed away about Christmlas time and now she was alone. They had been happily married for 54 years and had lived in their own little cottages which they were buying on a long-term aanortization, plan. Now her husband was gone and with him his Old Age Pen- sion, so that the income was reduced to half. The aged enquirer had badly crippled feet caused by fallen arches and a. hammer toe which was turning black by reason of poor circulation. She 'was attend- ing a clinic each 'Week and getting treatment, but this was of little help seeing she was unable to' obtain the type of_ shoes she re- quired. After proper inquiry immediate arrangements were made to get properly fitted shoes which, would make her feet comfortable. She was taken to the store for spec- ial orthopedic shoes. Her face lit up as she watched the clerk care- fully measuring her deformed; feet. Literally, the aged and lonely widow is once more "on her feet!" This is only one of many such. Stories told by Captain Ferris, who is in charge of the operat- ions for the Salvation Army in this area. You are asked to support the Red Shield Appeal during the month of May.
