NOW You Know Whof Ails Youl

Washington, D.C.-Save your feet ! Walk on wood !

Tl-rat's the advice of one of the nation's leading chiropodists who warns that tired feet can lead to headaches, backaches, jangled nerves, tired muscles and a number of other physical disorders-even dislocated discs and spots before the eyes.

Dr. William J. Stickel, executive secretary of the National Association of Chiropodists, praises wood as a walking surfacc because of its resiliency.

"The extra bounce in wood," according to Dr. Stickel, "helps to cushion the shock transmitted to the skeletal svstem bv walking."

The resiliency of wood is cited bv the National Lumber Manrrfacturers Association as one of lhe main reasons why wood i.s the most popular material for flooring in honres, stores, offices, factories and especially boardwalks.

Dr. Stickel suggests that we rediscover the pleasure-and economy-involved in walking.

"Because of cars, elevators and our modern transportation system, we have become a nation of riders-so nruch so that a five-mile hike would leave most of us exhausted. And, unfortunately, the little walking we do find tirne for is rnostly on hard surfaces-like concrete."

Dr. Stickel explains that wood's resiliency helps "tone up" the nerves and muscles of the feet. "Many of our physical disorders begin with the feet. Our feet, in effect, are shock abcorbers for the rest of our body. When the surfaces on which we walk fail to give under our weight, there is an addecl strain .rn the bones and musCles of the feet."

Dr. Stickel, whose association boasts 7,000 members representing all sections of the country, also has a word about-the insulating qualities of wood-the fact that wood transmits less heat in sumrner than steel, concrete and similar materials.

"Not only does this result in greater foot comfort all year arou[d, but, in the summer months particularly, walking on wood cuts down the danger of hyperhidle5i5-sxqs5sive per- spiration-often a forerunner of athlbte's foot."

Finally, Dr. Stickel offers this advice on how to walk: your coes should- point straight ahead but it's all right to walk slightly pigeon-toed if that feels more natural.

Mqcoilney ond Olin Moved Up

New York, N. Y.-Following the recent resignation of Leo V. Bodine as a vice-president and director, Diamond National Corp. announced a realignment in the management of its western lumber operations.

A. E. Macartney, general manager of manufacturing and timber operations of the California Lumber Manufacturing division, assumes the California division sales responsibilities previously assigned to D. H. Olin. Olin has been appointed national sales manager of the Northwest Lumber Manufacturing division. He had previously been general salesmanager for Diamond's California and Northwest Lumber operations. H.L. Kerr continues as manager of lumber manufacturing and timber operations for the North- west Lumber Manufacturing division.

In announcing the realignment, William H. Walters, president and ctrief executive officer of Diamond National, said: "Our new lumber manufacturing and sales organization should give us a harder-hitting marketing impact. This is essential if the company's lumber operations are to take part in the rising sales and earnings of other segments of Diamond National's business."

Diamond National, one of the country's leading producers of lumber, has five lumber mills in California and the Northwest, as well as 54 retail building supply stores. The company also produces paperboard and folding papelboard caltons, molded-pulp products, labels, posters, advertising materials, matches and woodenware. Sales last year totaled $228 million.
