The atmosphere was just the right temperature, the sites to see were great and the people we met even greater. We arrived home a little tired but feeling rewarded never the less. While on the jaunt I wore a variety of shoes, some with a little heel, some with straps and some without. The day following our homecom- ing was Sunday so I departed for church. The service was great, Pastor Beth Whittier presented a moving ser- mon, and the songs were inspiring and the congregation relaxed and receptive. Looking down in prayer, I confess, I opened my eyes, my head remained bowed. As I gazed toward the floor in a circular motion I noticed that approx- imately 90 percent of the members of the congregation were wearing shoes that were open toed. I thought, "This is great," as I remembered of days gone by when we dressed for church in clothes and shoes that covered nearly every area of our bodies. We were expected to wear carefully selected body coverings referred to as "church clothes." Yes, even in the very hot sum- mers of Red Bluff, church goers were expected to wear suits for the men. Nylons and discreetly long dresses were expected for the ladies whose faces were genteelly tapped with a cloth hankie to absorb the perspiration of Red Bluff weather. It was enjoyable to see people of today’s times and climes wearing clothing in which they could be com- fortable, paying close attention to this Sunday’s worship service. I thought it was great, I managed to get my mind back to the prayers and singing. As the service came to a close, a member of the congregation approached with a chuckle in his voice and a smile on his face and said; "Do peo- ple ever wear closed in shoes anymore"? Oh my goodness had he noticed that I was looking at feet while I had my head bowed? At any rate he sug- gested that the change in foot attire might be a sub- ject for the weekly column. I was amused that the foot wear had been sighted by others, and then I noticed that he was one of the 10 percent who was wearing closed in shoes, no toes showing. Carolyn Barber A little checking into foot wear over the years brought back memories of the shoes some young ladies wore dur- ing the 50’s. They were white, leather shoes shaped like the bill of a duck and they were called, "Ducks." Almost every girl either talked their mothers into buying them a pair of such shoes or they did a bit of baby sitting for their neighbors to earn enough to buy them from J.C. Penney store then located on Walnut Street in Red Bluff and later on Main Street in Red Bluff. Yes, I had some of those, purchased from my baby-sitting money. Were they beauti- ful? Not particularly but they were in style and covered one’s whole foot in church. The sole was completely flat which enabled many a wearer to walk with a duck waddle. I don’t recall any men wearing ducks on their feet, it seems as though they wore oxfords and boots most of the time. Very seldom did you see the older men going barefoot. Yes their feet and bodies were covered in compliance of old time church expectations. The women not only wore nylons, closed shoes and lengthy dresses, they wore hats and gloves to the church service. Having checked various things worn by people over the ages, I found pictures of Jesus, his disciples, children and adults wearing loose gowns and sandals. Boy, did they look comfortable. A good question to ask ourselves is; do we think more clearly when our body is comfortable in the heat of the day without pinching, closed shoes? Could be that our thought processes are more in line with the message of the church sermon when what we wear is not too confining? Just perhaps…Jesus may have said to his followers… "Those who are comfortable, come unto me." Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
