Feet don't smell sweet

There aren’t too many incentives anymore for a
woman to clean her house.
Spring used to inspire it. So did a visit from the local
minister or the parish priest. And what woman didn’t
bring in the excavating and dirt-removal machinery
months before her mother-in-law dropped in?
But those days are gone. Women on the go, mobile
families, and a more casual style of living have
reduced the “lemon-scented” dream houses to a mere
pucker.

DEAR DR LAMB - 1 hope
you can help me I'm a wom-
an in my 40s and am very par-
ticular concerning my person-
al hygiene. All my life I've
had that awful problem -
bromidrosis.
Centainly I bathe every day
and scrub my feet with a nail
brush. My feet still smell 1
deodorize my shoes daily. It's
impossible to change and
wash my hose during working
hours but when I change my
shoes to go home. I'm so self-'
conscious Also when I'm
traveling on vacation this is a
real problem.
I've been told X-ray treat-
ments will cure this perma-
nently. How relieved I would
be if this were really true I
never, never feel clean while
this problem exists: Your
watery sweat.
Bacteria will grow rather
rapidly in the sweat and
secretions that develop in the
“socks and will contribute
markedly to the odors.
The trick is to clean the feet
at least twice a day, keep
them absolutely dry and wear
able to you, but if people
could go barefoot so that their
feet didn’t sweat and what
sweat that did occur wasn’t
trapped within socks or shoes,
they wouldn’t have so much of
a problem.
If people could wear open
sandals without socks so the

Auction Raises Funds
For Alpha Alpha Kappa
By George w. Cornell
AP Religion Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Shared
trouble binds people together.
That’s how it was with Jorge
Lara-Braud and “the mon-
signor.” Whenever their paths
crossed, crisis erupted, even at
a last farewell to one of them.
“It was one of the most
violent, brutal, Dantesque
scenes you could imagine,”
says Presbyterian Lara-Braud
of the explosions and shooting
that shattered the funeral
March 30 of El Salvador's slain
Roman Catholic Archbishop
Oscar Romero.
An auction of homemade good
and decorative items
highlighted the April 14 meeting
of members and guests of Alpha
Alpha Kappa chapter of Beta
Sigma Phi in the home of Mrs.
Deanna Boggs.
Funds raised at the auction
will be added to the chapter’s
treasury.
Following the social the
regular business session was
called to order by chapter
president Phyllis Rogers. The
agenda for the session included
discussions of projects for the
upcoming Dairy Festival, Beta
Sigma Phi Sunday which will be
observed Sunday, April 27 and
the yellow rose project.
The yellow rose project will
have members of all chapters
selling yellow silk roses for the
price of a donation. All proceeds
of the sale will be contributed to
the Hopkins County Op-
portunity Center.
Refreshments were served to
Phyllis Rogers, Wyvonne
Bronson, Sharolyn Poe, Mary
Reagh, Shirley Burney, Jean
Raga, Deanna Boggs, Joan
Garrett, Judy Glenn, Mary
Beth Hulen, Ann Anderson,
Bonnie Gilmer, Robbie At-
tlesey, Billie Sue Crowson,
Wanda Crowson, Gloria Price,
Kathy Sharp, Rita Richardson,
Marioq Hulen, Danita Graves,
Priscilla Smith, Mickie
Chapman, Pat Johnson and
Sue Colley.

Xi Nu lota Group
Views Collection
Xi Nu Iota chapter of Beta
Sigma Phi met Tuesday, April 8
at the public library where they
viewed the Leo St. Clair music
box collection.
A program presented by Mr.
St. Clair was followed by a
business meeting held in the
hospitality room at General
Telephone Co. Presdient Rita
Richardson presided over the
session at which plans for a
social to be held April 26 were
made.
Members also discussed
plans for work on their Dairy
Festival float and the sale of
yellow roses as a club benefit
for children at the Hopkins
County Opportunity Center.
Hostesses Ilene Harris served
refreshments to Mary Nell
Bruce, Linda Kids, Helen
Perkins, Ruth Sheer, Jean
Wood, Dell Poskey and Rita
Richardson.
Miss Jill Pearson, 1980
graduate of Sulphur Springs
High School, was honored with
a graduation party at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Turman Dicken
of Miller Grove Saturday, April
12.
Co-hostesses for the occasion
were Mrs. Dicken’s daughter
and daughter-in-law, Glenda
and Mary Dicken.
An appointed serving table
was covered with a white cloC^
and centered with a massiveT
arrangement of blue and gold
carnations, statice and baby’s
breath in traditional school
colors. A blue and gold cake
shaped like a horseshoe and
topped with a graduation cap
and tassle was served along
with nuts and frosted gold
punch.
The honoree was presented a
gift from her hostesses. Those
attending the affair were:
Misses Bonni Booker, Cindy
Carlisle, Kim Edwards, Maleta
Fox, Kathryn Latham, Regina
Mclntire, Karen Mabe, Lana
Gammill, Deneen Reynolds,
Shannon White, and Mrs.
Shelley Grimes and Jan
Lawrence. Special guests in-
cluded the honoree’s sister Mrs.
Jan Spencer and her mother,
Mrs. Joe Pearson.
But Lara-Braud, head of the
doctrinal studies section of the
mainly Protestant National
Council of Churches, and the
archbishop, called “the mon-
signor,” by his people,
repeatedly had shared dif-
ficulties in life.
“Each time I was with him,
there was trouble,” says Lara-
Braud, a pattern that got him
wryly dubbed a "Jonah," but
which also made him the ar-
chbishop’s most intimate
Protestant friend.
“We were very close,” says
Lara-Braud, 48, a Mexican-born
U. S. citizen with a Princeton
doctorate in theology, an active
figure in ecumenical affairs.
“We had prayed, grieved,
planned, worried and worked
together.”
For a week last mid-
November, they had lived
together in the archbishop's
modest San Salvador apart-
ment, across the street from the
chapel where they prayed each
morning before starting their
rounds and where Romero, 62,
was assassinated March 24
while celebrating Mass.
Their comradeship had begun
— as it ended — in travail. That
beginning was in June, 1977,
shortly after Romero became
archbishop, when two of his
priests and several lay leaders
were killed and several others
tortured and exiled. Lara-
Braud had gone there for the
interdenominational council to
extend its condolences and
support.

"gives the house a last check?
Why do we do it? Maybe it’s the same reason we
wear new underwear. Who wants to be in an accident
and hear them saying, "I don’t think she has long.
Sure, she’s wearing nice underwear without runs, but
we’ll never know what she’s really like until we check
her house to see if the shower curtains have mold, will
we?
Last year my husband acutally came in from the
car and said, “What in heaven’s name are you doing
in here? We’re ready to leave.
I said, “I’m cleaning the fireplace. Do you want
Marge to see Christmas wrappings in the fireplace?”
“I thought she was only coming in to stack the mail
and the newspapers on the kitchen table.”
“Grow up, Preppie, if there’s a dustball under the
freezer, it’ll be all over the neighborhood when I get
back. Did you glue that tile down in the hall bath?
“I’ll put a waste can over it.”
“AND FLUSH AGAIN! Just in case. Oh, and pull
the draperies in the front bedroom. That rug is Stain
City.”
After I had removed the fingerprints from the
refrigerator door, fluffed up the pillows and grabbed
a water glass out of my husband’s hand, saying,
“There’s no need to dirty this. Wait until lunch!” I
surveyed my domain. The Forbes magazine that I
save for such an occasion was on top of the coffee
table, the new pencil and pad were by the phone and
the note on the refrigerator read, “Out of Perrier.” As
I walked by the sink I grabbed a banana and popped it
into my mouth.
Boy, that was close.

also add that some people
have a psychological problem
that leads them to think they
have bad smelling feet when
in reality-they don’t have a
significant problem
' - Assuming that you’re cor-
rect in saying that you do
have a problem, you may
need to increase your hygiene
program despite the fact that
you're already a very clean
person. Foot odors are really
caused by sweaty feet The
sweat itself doesn’t smell so
bad, although there are sweat
glands that produce oily
secretions that do have an
odor as opposed to just plain
some cotton or wool socks- to
absorb the moisture. Change
socks as often as you can

feet could ventilate, that
would help.
There are deodorizers that
you can use. You would be
surprised tit the RShg list pT
suggestions that have been
made to me by other readers
who have had this problem. I
doubt that any of these
remedies will really work pn
a long-term basis, though,
unless you can bathe the feet,
at least twice a day and keep
them as dry as possible.
Incidentally, it also helps to
change shoes every day so you
never wear the same pair two
days in a row. Change shoes
when you get home, too, or go
barefoot in the house.

Consumer Reports
Surveying small cars
By the Editors
of Consumer Reports
If you’re looking for a new
car that delivers good fuel
mileage, most subcompacts
can fil' the bill. But you may
well question whether such
small cars can also supply
adequate interior space and
safe, comfortable handling.
Four subcompact hatch-
backs recently tested by Con-
sumer Reports delivered bet-
ter than 30 miles per gallon
on a 195-mile test trip com-
bining highway and stop-and-
go driving. Thus they easily
met the first consideration.
It wasn’t as easy, however,
to meet the Other criteria, as
Consumer Reports’ engineers
found when they evaluated
djed very well under normal
living conditions. But the Che-
vette was the standout in acci-
dent avoidance ability. It han-
dled better than its
competitors in hard corner-
ing.
Consumer Reports' engi-
neers thought the Rabbit’s
ride was particularly good. Its
motions were unusual!
unusually gen-
tle on secondary roads — its
suspension smoothed out all
but the sharpest bumps.
When the engineers judge a
subcompact’s ride good, it’s
high praise indeed. In evaluat-
ing ride, Consumer Reports
uses the same judgment scale
for subcompacts as it does for
limousines.

Thirteen members of the
NET Doll Club were present for
officer elections when the group
.met April 15 in the Senior
, Citizens Center.
Mary Speed, club president,
presided over the busines
meeting with these members
being named to office: Yvonne
Fyke, president; Louise
Williams, vice-president; Ruth
Burchett, secretary-treasurer;
Janie Godfrey, corresponding
' -secretary; and Vida Anglin,

Members welcomed one

-discussed plans to begin a doll
book library for the club. Louise
Williams announced that the
Greenville Doll Club will be
meeting in her home June 16 for
a covered dish luncheon. Local
members are invited to attend.
Plans for a Hopkins County
heritage book was the topic of
discussion at the April meeting
of Xi Phi Kappa chapter held in
the Como Community Center.
Sue Sheddy presented Evelyn
Mays who discussed the
“Heritage Society of America”
which dealt with the book
“Family Heritage for Present
and Future Generations” which
traced the families of Grayson
County. Ms. Mays told mem-
bers of the local chapter how
they could organize a similar
book for Hopkins County
residents as a service, ways and
means project.
Other topics discussed at the
meeting included a yard sale to
be held April 26 at the home of
Jean Flora. Money raised will
be used for the chapter’s
scholarship fund.
Members received a letter
form the Hopkins County
planning committee about the
possibility of building a
Y.M.C.A. in Hopkins County.
The project, which was initiated
by the Alpha Tau Iota chapter,
will be discussed at a meeting of
In January, 1979, Romero
invited Lara-Braud there,,to
preach in the week of prayer for
Christian unity. The day of his
arrival for that conciliatory
occasion was rent by a
massacre of a priest and four
children on a Christian
initiation retreat.
At the funeral for the victims
at San Salvador’s Cathedral —
the same place where the more
recent violence and pan-
demonium occurred — the
Presbyterian theologian and
Catholic archbishop shared the
pulpit for sermons broadcast
nationally.
“That moment of gravest
dismay was also a moment of
greatest affirmation that a
church that continues to
produce martyrs becomes
invincible,” Lara-Braud says.
the Volkswagen Rabbit, Toyo-
ta Corolla Tercel, Chevrolet
Chevette and Datsun 310.
The Rabbit provided superi-
or front accommodations with
its firm and well-contoured
seats. They were comfortably
high off the floor. The Tercel’s
accommodations weren’t
quite as good as the Rabbit’s.
For instance, you would have
to crouch getting into the Ter-
cel to avoid banging your
head on the roof
The limited leg room in the
front compartment of the
Datsun and the lack of elbow
room in the Chevette were
among factors that rendered
them less desirable.
None of the tested models
offered very good rear
accommodations, although
the Rabbit's were judged ade-
quate for many users. Its head
and knee room weft barely
enough for 6-foot passengers.
All four tested models han-
