THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPESE never had it so good as
the National Guardsman pictured above as he descends to the earth
during the parachute jump exhibition Tuesday. A ten-mile wind
which prevailed gave the jumpers very little trouble.
Eelow, one of them is seen as he completes his fall and emerges
from the ’chute. The ’chute is especially constructed and can be
guided over the target area provided there isn’t too strong a wind.
The opening in the ’chute is the secret. Photos by Ameigh.

Parachute Jump
Stellar Event
On July Fourth
From a sky tinged with patches
of blue, and a hazy sun, eight mem
bers of the Anchorage National
Guard Parachute Club completed
a total of 14 successful jumps from
the Cessna 170 piloted by John
Warren as the stellar attraction of
the Fourth of July celebration held
here Tuesday.
With the exception of two jumps,
the men executed 5-second and 15
second delayed jumps and several
static line jumps, all landing on
or near the target drop zone on
Near Island. Two of the jumpers
landed in the channel, but were
quickly rescued by standby boats.
The two men who received a dunk
ing were Larry Gillespie and Fred
Yenny. They said the water was
“very cold.”
The group had planned a total of
20 jumps. Due to a ceiling of a
little over ,4,000 feet, several 45
second delayed openings were elim
inated from the schedule.
A walkie-talkie hookup estab
lished communication with the
pl&ne, ground crew at the target
zone, and the announcer. Sgt.
Archie Zehe of the Alaska Com
munication System, gave a running
commentary all during the jumps.
* He also announced the children’s
races which began shortly after 1
o’clock.

YOUR BABY’S FOOT —
By Dr. John T. Sharp, Chairman,
Committee on Children and
Youth Fitness
American Podiatry Association
It has been estimated that the
average individual walks some
where in the neighborhood of 100
thousand miles during his lifetime.
This journey must be accomplished
on but one pair of feet.
Whether or not the trip will be
plagued by one of the many foot
ills to which we fall prey may be
determined largely by the care
which the foot receives during the
formative years of infancy and
childhood. It is, therefore, import
ant that the parent know some
thing about the development and
! care of the foot during this vital
; period.
' me mianrs tool is sort ana quite
flexible. It is composed largely of
a gristly material called “carti
lage” which is not so rigid as the
bone which will replace it at a
later age.
Because of its softness, the foot
of infancy is readily deformed by
pressure. Various foot coverings—
even sleeping garments with feet
in them—may often place enough
stress on baby’s foot to produce de
formity. Actually, the foot need not
be shod at all until the child be
gins to stand.
The absolute essential for nor
i mal foot development in infancy
is complete freedom of motion. As
your infant grows in size, he also
grows in activity. See how often he
flexes and kicks his feet and legs.
All this activity is nature’s way of
developing the structures which
must later support the body and
propel it forward. Remember: any
thing which restricts movement of
the extremity also restricts its de
velopment.
One final word about the baby’s
feet and legs: It has been recog
nized in recent years that constant
“belly sleeping” in infancy, with
the lower extremities in one posi
tion, will often cause awkward gait
when the child begins to walk. The
deformity called “pigeon-toe” is
Kodiak Area Produces 35% Of Beef
In Alaska—Income Value $122,270
Kodiak and other islands of the
southwest produced 35 per cent of t
the beef in the State in 1960. (
98 per cent of the wool is pro- c
duced here and in the Aleutian 3
Chain.
The entire output of reindeer i
meat for the State is produced (
here. ?
The above are figures taken
from a pamphlet issued by the
Alaska Division of Agriculture, en
titled “Alaska 1960 Farm Produc- |
tion.”
In value of beef cows, according
to the study, the Kodiak area leads
with 90 per cent of the State’s total.
Valuation for beef cows 2 years
and over is placed at $300,000; beef
heifers one to two years, $62,900;
all other calves, $51,000: steers, one
year and over, $88,000; all bulls,
$36,000.
The Kenai Penninsula comes
next, with a total valuation of $43,
800.
an example of this. It is, therefore,
advisable to change baby’s position
from time to time during the per
iod of early infancy, when he’s un
able to roll over and alter position
by himself.
Valuation tigures piacea on mint
ows, 2 years old and over is $14,
00; milk heifers, one to two years
Jd, $1,500; milk heifer calves, also
1,500.
The total combined valuation
or all cattle in this area is $554,
100. The total for the State is $1,
