the ulcers the victims con­ tinue to walk badly and do not bother about treatment.


In future, however, thanks to help given by a Clitheroe shoemaker, wooden clog soles will help the sufferers to walk better and will allow the ulcers to heal.


Dr. W. F. Ross, who works for the Nigerian Leprosy Service under the Nigerian Govern­ ment, y es te r d ay week visited the workshop of Mr. Richard Turner, of Lower- gate, Clitheroe, one of the few doggers there ara today.


Mr. Turner had heard that Dr. .Ross, at present on ’cave at his home town, Malvern, was trying to find a. dogger who would show him how to make the shaped wooden clog soles, and wrote to him.


Dr. Ross told an “Advertiser and Times" reporter that be the ulcers, which could not

He is based at the Oji River Settlement, near Enugu, in Eastern Nigeria, and there are !>(: out-patient clinics attached to the centre, but because people cannot walk properly they often do not feel like coming for the -treatment, which is pro­ longed.


This meant that the ulcers did not get a chance to heal, and so the disease grew worse, Dr. Ross ra'd.


Plaster of Paris had been used a great deal to make a hard base with an instep which would stop direct pressure from walking upon the ulcers, but because of the very heavy rains the plaster of Paris melted.


A wooden sole with an instep and proper cast made like a clog sole, nowever, is the best thing, but these are not made in Nigeria.


They cannot be made by machine, since the instep and cast are then not right, but must each be caryed from a block of wood, using the three dogger’s knives.


Dr. Ross has a set of the knives and managed to obtain from a Burnley firm a film about clog-making. He will also take with him samples of the clog sole at various stages.


TO NIGERIA


If necessary, Mr. Turner has promised that he will go out to Nigeria himself for about three weeks, and con­ centrate on teaching the people how to make the wooden soles.


He does a great deal of clog­ making at his workshop, and on several occasions has been requested to make a miniature pair of Lanca­ tshire clogs for some tourists


o take back home.


Many of his clogs are made for farmers, although he showed the reporter some he was making for a clog­ dancing team, decorated with toolwork and eyelet holes on which bells will be fastened.


One farmer’s son who had to work indoors is now back on the land—thanks to Mr. Turner. His feet . were crippled and the only shoes he could get were not waterproof enough for work on the land.


In desperation, his father asked Mr. Turner if there was anything he could do, since his son was not happy in his indoor job. Mr. Turner made the individual soles to measure and can now make. a pair, of clogs for the man at any time.


Both Dr. Ross and Mr. Turner have high hopes that the scheme to equip lepers with clogs will be a great success, and are making every effort to ensure this.
