We are mainly concerned about children's shoes, and why moat children's shoes seem to be too• small before they wear odt. If you want your shopping for shoes to be productive you have to know something about the feet you are buying them for. Your feet deserve your care and attention, they support tons of weight every day. The average person walks the distance from Halifax to Vancouver -in one year - Almost every person is born with good healthy feet, yet there are so many people in high 4001 with foot problems. -Some of the different problems are corns, callouses, ingrown toenails, bun- ions, hammar toes, plantar warts, fallen arches and weak 0 ankles. Many of these foot prob- lems can be attributed to misfit - ting shoes. If you don't have properly fitting shoes, you are going to get sore feet. When you take your kids shopping with you to buy shoes, don't count on the shoe sales, people to spot any problems. Many of them did not have any special training in fitting shoes. And many of them sell shoesdon commission. As a result they will try to sell you shoes, whether. they fit, or not. Here's a hint that will help you.when you are ship- . ping for shoes. Press your thumb on the front of the shoe, and there shouldte about a thumb and half of room at the front to grow into. You should do this every couple of months. And as soon as there is less than a thumb's width at the front you should start shopping for new shoes. If you are still growing, there is nopoint in buying more shoes than you need. Generally a child will have a pair of running shoes and a pair of dressy shoes at a time. 11 he wears only these two pairs of shoes they will probably, have done their job, by the time they are too small. Leather is the best buy for shoe,, comfort and durability. It,shou14 a • be firm but pliable, with edges trimmed and well finished. Check to see that the leather in various parts of the shoes is matched and the linings are smooth and soft. Stitching should be fine and regular. The inside of the shoe should not have tacks, rough places, or heavy or open seams. Most shoes made of synthetic material comes from the plastic family. Shoes made with g quality synthetics are desirable because they are easy to care for, they are durable and they can lower the cost of shoes without necessarily lowering the quality. A number of consumers find some synthetic materials to be less porous than leather and therefore not quite as com- fortable to wear in warm weather. There are government regula- tions about the material shoes are made of. One regulation is that if material looking like leather is just imitation, it must be so labeled. Or if a plastic material has an alligator skin design on it, it must say so. If your child starts complaining about his shoes being too small, you had better listen to him. It would be better to get him another pair of shoes than to alter the growth pattern of his foot. Another thing is these negative heeled shoes. Children should not wear negative heeled shoes because it puts the foot in a posi- tion so that there is too much strain on certain bones and muscles 'in the foot. Muscles do not work well under pressure. By children we mean people that are still growing,We will have more op this story in a couple of weeks. Babies don't really need shoes until they start to stand. Until then, their feet may be kept warm by well fitting socks and booties. The first shoes should be of very soft leather. When the child begins to walk, the soles of his shoes should remain flexible. He may go barefoot if playing in the grass, sand, or on a warm floor. —Keith Metzger Quebec Carnival Quebec City! The name itself suggests all types of visions for the imagination to work with. Its historical background is filled with many significant events. From the day it was founded by Champlain in 1608 until the present day, 362 years of progress have elapsed. History abounds in this famous city in old churches, monuments and early traditional French architecture. The population of the city is 220,000 in the City Proper and 500,000 in Greater Quebec. It con- tains many Eurbpean charac- teristics and has been described Lynda Lyons 'Jane Shiell Brenda Johnston Question — Do you read the School Page? What can be done to improve it? 0-0-0 Janette Hogan 13B:Yeah. A picture of me every week would improve it. Joyce Gordon 9C:' No, we don't get the Wingham paper. Jim Hanna 13B: The avail- ability of the School Page to the student betty should be improved. J believe most student's don't have a chance to read it, either they don't get the Wingham paper or they can't find the copy in tine school. 0-0-0 Doug Wall 13C: I read it every week. Making two pages and as "the most European city in North America". The city is situated on top of Cape Diamond and is located directly opposite the city of Levis, across the St. Lawrence River. Quebec City is "home" to Laval ._University, forty im- pressive monuments, the Pro- vincial Parliament Buildings called the National Assembly, the historic La Citadelle, Battlefields Park, Provincial Museum, Notre Dame des Victories (the oldest North American church still standing), the narrowest street in North America called Sous -le - Cap, Place Royale, Canada's only French Canadian culture and the very famous La Bon- homme Winter Carnival of which the F. E. Madill students will be a part. Julie is going to See how the French live, and eat in their sur- roundings. She has never been to Quebec City and has not been to a winter carnival such as this. When she first learned of this trip, she literally jumped at the chance. Joyce went to Quebec City last year and enjoyed herself im- mensely so she is returning this year. She has an idea of how the city is laid out and the bus routes. This year, accommodations are being located closer to -the downtown area so there is not as much confusion with bus routes. We expect to enjoy every minute from when we board the bus at Madill to Stratford until we get off four days later. —Julie McCall and Joyce Ireland putting more stuff in it would irrt= prove it. i`F�IEATRE PRODI�CTION 0-0-0 Mary Anne McKenzie 12F: Um hum. Nothing can be done to improve it because it is alright as it is. 0-D',0 Jean MacAdam 12E: I read it. It is pretty good. 0-0-0 Cathy Fisher 9C: like it the way it is. 0-0-0 Ken Meninuorn 911: I don't read it. 0-0-0 Gilbert Johann 12D: I read the school page. Keep it as good as it is. 0-0-0 Donald Sanderson 1211: Yah, I read it. It is kind of short though. On Thursday, January 16, drama students and grades 10, 11, 12 and 13 were able to watch a theatre production entitled "The Farm Show". The basic reason for it was the city people wanted to do a play about farming. They visited farm families around Clinton and listened to stories about local tragedies and achievements. This is how the script for the play was found. In the play they portrayed farm animals and farm machinery and showed how to build a mow, which everyone like. We also enjoyed the battle of the tractors. The students enjoyed The Parm Show immensely. —Louise Stamper ,Wrafr-or BOYS' ,BASKEBALL Madill vsGoderich Seniors -- Last Tuesday the Senior Mustangs were defeated by the Goderich Vikings. The score was 63-29. The Mustangs played a very solid first half. They managed to keep the score 25.23 for Goderich. Unfortunately the Goder ch Vikings Came back in the second half and defeated the Mustangs. Rene Caskanette was top scorer for the Mustangs. He accumulated 11 points. Con- gratulations, Rene! Juniors — The Junior Mus- tangs played the Goderich Vik- ings last Tuesday. Paul Dickson played an outstanding game for the Mustangs. Paul dominated the scoring with 12 points. The Vikings defeated the Mus- tangs 54-26 in a well -fought battle. Congratulations on a good game, Paul! Midgets — The midgets played a good game against the Goderich Vikings. Top scorer for the Mustangs was David Gamble with five points. Although it was a good game the Mustangs were defeated 36-1$. Friday, January 17, the basket- ball teams played Listowel. CURLING BONSPIEL The Senior Boys' Curling Team went to Goderich, on January 22. The members of this team are Ean MacDonald, Gary Ballagh, Jim McBurney and Davi Ver Beek. In the first game against 'Exeter, they lost 8-6. But in the second game against Seaforth, our team won with a score 13-5. The overall winner was Mount Forest. GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL - There hasn't been too much activity in the girls' volleyball teams lately but there is a lot scheduled for the new year. The seniors have a new coach, Miss Schofield. Mrs. Shaw is still the coach of the junior team. There was a tournament scheduled for January 10 but unfortunately it was cancelled. , The girls are all looking i'or- ward to the league games start- ing next Thursday, January 23. The tournament has five schools participating. The F. • E. Madill teams will only play two games, against Exeter and Goderich. We wish them the best of luck but hope that there is skill in- volved also. —Mary Anne Alton Madill teams lose to Listowel F. E. Madill basketball teams suffered scorching defeats Fri- day, Jan. 17 when they hosted the Listowel teams in Wingham. Madill seniors went down 57-42; the juniors were stricken 52-37; and the midgets were thoroughly beaten at 36-18. The losses didn't affect team spirits, however, as the Madill teams were cheered and urged on by students on breaks or just off from classes. And since practice makes per- fect, these losses will be chalked up to experience and may help the teams to a successful season in games to come. Student Council holds meeting On Tuesday, January 14, a full student council meeting was held at 3:24 p.m. in the student lounge. Two main issues were discussed. The first one dealt primarily with a change in the point system inp regard to the activities in our school. Many of the clubs were raised an extra point to equalize -the-- effort needed to -obtain- -an- activities' crest, as compared to an athletic crest. In the dear future a list of these clubs will be handed out during home room period. The other issue dealth with plans for the winter carnival to be held during the week of January 20 to 24. A short account of the plans for each day was given by the president. These plans . ap- pear elsewhere on the school page. Entry deadlines for certain events were also noted 'and rules for the toboggan races, snow sculptures, leg contests, etc:, were outlined. Class representa- tives asked any questions they had concerning the carnival, and then, all matters understood, the meeting came to a close. —Mary MacKinnon, 13B The WingAdvOceOtieso A treasure chest Many stories' have beeti told 44 Christopher Columbus awl how he discovered AMerica in WO for a passage to China and India. What about that daring Viking, ; ric the Red,{ that Norse seaman, Bjarni and that ventuje% some "viking, Leif the Lucky? Why aren't as many stories told about them? They had ¶dis- covered something better and . greater. They had discovered Canada — a large treasure chest of many different precious jewels. From the rugged Atlantic coastline, to the Boreal Forest stretching across Canada, to the vast sweeping prairies, to the ragged peaks to the towering Rocky Mountains and to the beaten Pacific coast, Canada is a country with many faces. Canada's far north is most tantalizing. For most of the year the landis locked in ice and snow and for three months during the winter it is completely dark. Only little vegetation and wildlife can survive. However, for six weekS ins summer, this usually bleak and barren tundra becomes ablaze with arctic poppy, red lichen and rhododendron. Beneath all this is the door to Canada's wealth. Gas, oil and minerals lie waiting for deter- mined men and modern tech- nology. Canada's north is waiting to be discovered. • Quiet, unspoiled fishing villages and towns line the coves and inlets of Newfoundland. Crowding the waterfront are the large square wooden houses of the fishermen. The dark blue waters of the harbours are dotted with many small fishing vessels. Pioneer life'still persists in these small villages. -Men still go out to sea to fish, the women work small garden plots and the boys -still split and carry firewood. The true prairie found in south ern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba offers a completely contrasting view. The flat, level land stretches for miles and miles into the horizon where it seems to meet the sky. This treeless plain which was covered with grass before it was settled, now offers a view of checker- board patterned and long ribbon 'patterned wheat fields. The soils of this area boast of fertility and prosperity. From the flat ' to the very rugged. The Rocky Mountains with their snow -dazzled and cloud -carrying peaks lupin row on row up toward the sky in western Canada. Many rivers gurgle, rush, crash and roar down the slopes towards the glimmering peaceful lakes. Spec- tacular glaciers decorate the high slopes of many mountains. At the foot they are dressed with dark, silent forests and large peaceful valleys.

'—�stigl+n�eri Color Images The original marks of art dis- tributed by the London Ontario Art Gallery have arrived at the school. The nineteen pictures In the exhibit are done by, Western Ontario artists who have ,own their work outside their own. ,- area, won many awards and many are recognized instruct: in art. ' The exhibit is entitled "Color Images" because this is the: thematic basis of the works. The exhibition shows -some 'of sways of using color, the way color effects a response in us and af- fects how we feel toward a work of art. The viewer is, therefore, expected to analyze the effect color has on his mind and emo- tions. These pictures will be on view in the school library until the end of the -month. On Tuesday, January 28, and Wednesday, January 29, the library will be open from 8 to 10 o'clock for the public to see this show.' The school is open for night classes at these times so the main entrance may be used.
