featured before," promised Shaw. "We're excited about working for a really progressive company that be- lieves, as we do, that small-market stations need to pay close attention to local needs and interests," Shaw added.

"There may be a few program changes, but they'll be minor. For example, right now we're planning to resume the Calendar Show starting next Monday, March 29, from 8 to 10 a.m. We like the positioning of Trad- ing Times at 9:30 a.m., and we'll just make it a part of the Calendar Show at that same time every morning."

Lanelle said, "We're looking for- ward to playing the same great music folks tell us they liked when we had the station before, and Ted says he's interested in covering more local high school sports."

All first place winners qualified for state and will be attending the con- vention in Corpus Christi May 6-8.

Congratulations and good luck at state!

TFoot Facts

By Dr. Eric R. Tepper, Podiatrist

PEDIATRIC GROWTH PLATE INJURY Growth plates are structures at the ends of children's bones that allow them

to grown to adult size. Injury to one of these structures in a child's foot may mimic a sprain and may be misdiagnosed. Growth plate injuries may happen during athletics, a car accident, or even a simple fall. Untreated, a growth plate may partially close, leading to an angle deformity, or it may stunt further growth in the bone entirely. X-rays taken to rule out a fracture may appearentirely normal. Pain, when pressure is applied directly to the growth plate areas, is the key to this injury's diagnosis. Depending on the severity of misalignmentof the plate, proper treatment may range from immobilization to surgical intervention.

When you have a small child to care for, we believe one of the most important things we can provide you with is education. And taking care of the feet can't begin too early. If there seems to be a problem with your child's feet, we hope you '11 considergiving us a call at 234-5571, at Rice Medical Center. We bring you these columns in hopes of showing you how the many benefits of podiatric medicine can help keep you and the members of your family walking in comfort.

P.S. Growth plates usually close up during adolescence, though there is a wide range in the age by which one normally attains full growth.

PROTECT YOUR BABY'S TEETH People think of a newborn as hav-

ing no teeth, but the 20 primary teeth that will erupt in the next two-and-a-half years are already present in the baby's jawbones. At birth, the crowns of the primary teeth are almost complete. Usually the first four front teeth erupt through the gums first.

At this age, after every feeding, wipe teeth and gums with a damp washcloth or gauze pad to remove plaque. You can sit on a sofa with your child's head on your lap. Be sure you can easily see into the mouth.

Brush and floss your child's teeth

when all primary teeth have erupted at about age 2 to 2-1/2. Start dental visits at an early age to help your child build a lifetime of good dental habits. Con- trol snacking because sugar-contain- ing foods can cause damage of teeth through decay.

If your baby still takes a bottle at night, be sure to give them only water or a sugar free liquid.
