23-30, researchers for Dr.
Scholl’s, the world-famous foot
comfort products company, have
come up with an interesting his
tory of this historic and still
fashionable footwear.
To trace its noble history, first
look at Egypt some 3,500* years
ago. Colorful, thong-type shoes
were reserved for important
persons and special occasions
only. Beautifully decorated san
dals turned up in King Tut’s
tomb, and later, Egyptian war
riors lined their sandals with
linen paintings of their enemies,
to “trod upon the impure” with
every step.

SOLI) BY HEARST CORP.
MILWAUKEE. Wis. — The
Milwaukee Sentinel, a 125-year-old
morning newspaper that has not
published since it was struck by
the American Newspaper Guild
May 27 in a contract dispute, was
purchased from the Hearst Corp.
yesterday by its long-time rival,
the Milwaukee Journal.
Irwin Maier, president and pub
lisher of the Journal, said that pub
lication of the Sentinel as a se
parate newspaper would be con
tinued, but that its operations would
be moved into Journal facilities.
No purchase price was announced
for the transaction putting Mil
waukee’s only daily newspaper
under the same ownership.
Severance pay will be paid |
strikers by the Hearst Corp. Other i
employes will be given severance j
pay by the Hearst Corp. as pro- !
vided in their contracts.
The Guild issued a statement |
saying its members “in no way j
feel responsible ... in no way
guilty for Hearst’s decision to
abandon the paper. Our demands
were not excessive, our strike was
completely justified.”

On the distaff side, history

Chinese sandals were built on
twin wooden stilts to protect the
feet from deep mud and rainy
rice paddies.
Favored for years as beach

appear everywhere, thanks in

EGAN AND STEPOVICH
CROSS PATHS IN KODIAK
KODIAK I# — The paths of
two gubernatorial candidates
crossed this week in Kodiak as
Gov. Egan, Democrat, and Mike
Stepovich, Republican, campaigned
on the island.
At a party dinner the governor
said irresopsible propaganda is
being circulated by Republican
candidates and newspapers about
the state’s business climate.
Stepovich attacked the adminis
tration for what he termed a do
nothing road bulding program.
Egan said Kodiak was certain
to get a new ferry and it would
represent a new concept in marine
design.
Stepovich, after viewing photo
graphs of Russian fishing vessels
off the Kodiak coast, said some
thing definitely should be done
soon to protect Alaska fishing
grounds from foreign encroachment.
