This is unfair and denotes ignorance and lack cof knowledge, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in health talk. ^ A congenital deformity 4s one which is acquired by the individual hefore tyrth. While it is true that, in some rare instances, heredity may be a factor, congenital defects, of which club feet is one, are usually attributed to improper development during the prenatal period. This is a condition over which the parbeginning. If the recurrence is noted in the. older child, 7 or 8 years old, when the resistance of the soft tissues to over-correction is quite strong, surgery would probably be considered. One procedure would be to cut tiie ligaments that hold the joints in the foot in a poor or clubbed condition, i This permits the joints to open up so that they can be eaely placed -in^o the correct position and held there with a plaster cast. In healing, the defect which is made by the surgery is filled in by new fibrous tissues so that eventually the tendons and other fibrous tissues of the joints are longer than they were before surgery. * With the accomplishments today in correcting club feet; it is no longer necessary, for a child ents have no control. Because ] born with this defect to hobble of this, they should certainly not j through life as a permanent cripple. Thej£ is, of course, the occasional congenital condition be censored. A common congenital club foot is one where the foot is turned inward so that the sole is pointing backwards and the inner side of the foot is pointing upward. Generally, correction is started in the first year of life so that the child will have a straight foot and ankle when he is ready to begin weight bearing. While surgery is frequently indicated, it is not always necessary, since some cases respond to what is called over-correction. When this procedure is used, the foot is placed in an over-corrected position by application of a cast. Subsequent technics to keep the foot in an over-corrected position include the use of corrective shoes and boots, or even some form of splint. There are instances when, after full correction has been accomplished, a tendency toward recurrence has been noted. While the actual cause of the recurrence is the contracting of fibrous tissues,. it is not known why the tissue contracts in some cases and does not in others. (!) When this happens in the very young child, the physician might well decide to remanipulate the foot, using plaster casts and splints as was done in the very which will present a problem which cannot be solved, but the majority if recognized early and given adequate treatment can be rehabilitated to a point where the individual can lead almost, if not entirely, a full, normal, active and healthy life. Simple Desserts Best For fall ; -Crisp, cool apples plus crackers and cheese make about as good a desert as one can find. Best of all it's quick to prepare and easy to serve. N Make the dessert "extra special" by sending it to the table as a cheese tray or plate, and let folks help themselves. They'll come back for seconds, says Ge: aldine Acker, food specialist. University of Illinois College of Agriculture. Choose the foods with an eye for interest in color and texture as well as flavor. Illinois "Jonathans and Illinois Golden Delicious give good color contrast. Slice or section the apples just before serving time to prevent browning, or sprinkle the cut fruit lightly with lemon juice. Your choice'of cheeses will depend on family preference, but American Cheddar, Swiss, Camembert and Roquefort are gw>d flavor companions for apples,- Toasted cr ackers or wafers always call forth praise. Vary the kind, size and shape, and the service will be attractive and easy to arrange. fcOOE22QQBOSK2QQSiGQDSOBOBa& Twice Told Talcs Forty Years Ago McHenry friends of Rev. ® A.
