rig ON FAN DD TTU 1_1\ CLUBS

I am writing you because I just have to say that the advent of my Fan Club was, and still is, one of the most pleasant events of my life. In 1963 a group of dancers from the Park Promenaders of Audubon Park, N.J., spearheaded by number one fan Helen Millman, as part of the festivities of a square dance weekend in the Pocono Mountains, formed the Buck Fish Fan Club. I was presented with a wall plaque and at a given signal during the evening sudden- ly every one was wearing a badge.

19 by Rev. Paul S. Burdick Waterford, Conn.

Who says that religion must always be dull and drab or else solemn and funereal? The religion of the ancient Hebrews was full of joyousness and accompanied with dancing. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp; Praise Him with the timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, Praise ye the Lord. (Psalm 150) Thus, circling around their altars or other places of worship, they enjoyed their rhythmic movements accompanied by various kinds of musical instruments. The harp and trumpet are familiar to us, as well as certain of the percussion and tympani ones. David is said to have invented some of these, and it is said of him that at one time at least, he "danced before the Lord with all his might." There were two kinds of dancing, familiar in our times, that were dis- cpuraged among the Hebrews. One of these was that which involved continued bodily contact with a member of the opposite sex. The other, which was common among the heathen peoples, and is not unknown today, was

20 the long continued leaping and whirling activity, which frenzy at last ended with complete exhaustion and falling down in a faint. Visions and hallucina- tions were supposed to accompany this state, something sought nowadays by the use of drugs. Better the bodily activity that has no hangover of regret or of shame, but like that described by the poet Browning in his words of praise for that which was recreational and spontaneous among characters of that early time. How good is man's life, the mere living, How fit to employ All the heart and the soul and the senses Forever in joy. (Browning: Saul) This joyous spirit of living is reflected in a modern Christian folk hymn in which life itself is likened to a dance. It loses something when read, without the tune, but for the reader who wants to imagine a background tune, let us just say we recently say a church folk group dance the Hora while singing it. This is truly a mingling of cultural backgrounds, for the Hora is a traditional Israeli dance. But both express the same spirit of joy. Here is the hymn:

Refrain: Dance then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the dance said he And I'll lead you all wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.

1 I danced in the morning when the world was begun And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth At Bethlehem I had my birth.

2. I danced for the scribe and the pharisee But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me. I danced for the fishermen, for James and John. They came with me and the dance went on.

3. I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; The holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high And they left me there on the cross to die.

4. I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black. It's hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body and they thought I'd gone.... But I am the dance and I still go on.

5. They cut me down and I leapt up high, I am the life that'll never, never die. I'll live in you if you'll live in me. I am the Lord of the dance, said He. 21 The National Callers College fi nd Leaclershp Workshop JUNE 21-22-23-24,1970 in LOUISVILLE ,KENTUCKY IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING the 1911-1 NAIIONAL DANC[ COMTION Sponsored by SQUARE DANCE magazine

25 EXCERPTS FROM "OUR SUN"

verywhere in Alaska today, when Alaskans aren't talking about Alaska, E they're talking about oil. More than likely, they're talking about oil and Alaska. The state's economy has been sluggish, hampered by a relatively small population spread over a broad area. While the oil industry provided much of the impetus for the state's growth in recent years, it was last September's lease sale that changed the economic picture dramatically. Now, on a per capita basis, Alaska ranks as one of the richest states in the nation. Alaska has only 5300 miles of roads, of which just 1300 miles are blacktopped. The state's sheer size begines with its name which comes from the Aleut (pro- nounced Alley-oot) word meaning "great land" or "mainland." Mount McKinley, the highest peak in North America, rises more than 20,000 feet above sea level. Cabbages grown in the Mantanuska Valley often weigh 40 pounds, the Kodiak bear tops 1000 pounds and the King Salmon, 100 pounds. The state is one-fifth the size of the rest of the country; its 586,000 square miles exceed those of Texas, Califor- nia and Montana combined. "If a Texan brags too much about the size of his state," says one. like to say we can cut Alaska in two and make Texas the third largest Most Alaskans are not really from Alaska. Only about one-fift e state's nearly 300,000 population is considered "native," being Eskimo, AIN; or Indian. In addition, more than half of the populace lives in Alaska's threaffrgest cities: Juneau, the capital; Fairbanks; and Anchorage (estimated area population: 115,000), the state's financial, social, transportation, trade, distribution, industrial and recently, oil headquarters center. FAIRBANKS JUNE THE GREAT LAND

Already Alaska has benefited more from oil than from all the gold taken out in the days of the sourdough. Small wonder the taxpayers are happy. New housing construction is also a by-product of the oil boom. "Nobody has built anything in Anchorage big enough to meet his own requirements," says Ro- bert B. Atwood, editor of the Anchorage Daily Times and former chairman of the Alaska Statehood Committee. "One national chain store, for example, made sur- veys arld erected a building which was destroyed a year later in the 1964 earthquake. The firm then rebuilt a much larger structure and since then has added a huge park- ing garage. Understandably, the changes that are now taking place in Alaska have their associated social, economic, and political growing pains. But the U.S.'s last frontier state is definitely in the throes of a major transformation. Modern skyscrapers are gcing up where log cabins recently stood, jet aircraft are entering regions once accessi )le only by dog sled, and miners and trappers today are sharing their domain with sJr- veyors and geologists. Oil exploration and development are in high gear now; he problems that kept oil men away for so long are beiog solved, and with it all, evf ry- we seems to be prospering.

This month we have a pattern and a helpful hint from the Square Reporter of Leigh, Nebraska. Bert Lambert of Illinois suggests that when women must change and don't want to muss a special hairdo, they take a nylon scarf and put it over the head, putting three corners of it between the teeth. Hold it tight, and take off anything over the head or put it on without spoiling the hairdo. This pattern has been in several area publications but for this particular version we owe thanks to Lill Bausch in the Square Reporter.

STRETCH PETTIPANTS MATERIALS REQUIRED: McCalls Pajama Pattern No. 8844 (one size larger than normal) or any pajama pattern that does not have a side seam. 11/2 yds of soft washable material, 15-20 yds. of lace (1-11/2 in, wide) 1. Cut out pattern, make necessary alterations, from crotch to waist, length of legs, etc. 2. Hem bottom of legs with narrow hem. 3. With pencil and ruler measure up and mark every inch or more, depending on width of lace, to approximately 4" above the crotch. 4. Sew lace on these lines, starting on narrow hem. 5. With rubber thread on bobbin and using longest stitch, sew 2 rows close together just above the lace or evenly spaced between. 6. Sew backs together, then fronts, then crotch. 7. Turn over top and make casing, run elastic through. This pattern is also used with a row or two of self ruffling on legs, stitched with elastic thread as above. Legs cut 11/2 to 2" larger give even a more lacy look. A good width is wider than the smallest part of your leg. 411C=43C—=10.044C41.==.01===X)==.13.0=0C CALLERS, LEADERS, DANCERS-- HERE'S THE BOOK YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR-- (SEE "ONE GIANT STEP"— JANUARY '70 ISSUE) " 50 EXPERIMENTAL BASICS" by WILL ORLICH INCLUDING WELL- ACCEPTED BASICS, DESCRIPTIONS, EXAMPLES BEYOND THE 75-BASIC PLATEAU FOR ADVANCED CLUB LEVEL USE

Ohio's Square Notes, tells that last New Year's Day, Hershel Marcum bought a notebook and informed six couples that from now on they were to report where they danced and how much it cost. Hershel kept the record, and Geneva and George discovered that they spent S163.50 on square dancing during 1969, and they are frequent dancers at four clubs and a workshop. Included were $10.00 for New Year's Eve, $8.50 for a chartered ALOHA STATE S/D FESTIVAL bus trip to Lexington and $6.00 for a 98 dancers traveled with Sam & special dinner.

An open club board has a bigger problem. For this type of club, it seems that the membership, and not just four or five couples on the board, should have a vote on whether to have a workshop, hot hash tip, etc., during the dance. The caller, on the other hand, should be allowed to call to the majority of the floor. If the board feels he is not calling material advanced enough in their opinions, they should tell him, but by the same token, the dancers should be told that the board has so advised the caller. Too many callers are said to be ARE BOARD MEMBERS OF OUR CLUBS breaking down a floor and it may not BECOMING DICTATORS? be the caller at all. He may just be fol- Dictators to whom?

50 SIGN-OFF' WORD * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * INDISPENSIBLE Sometimes, when you're feeling important, Sometimes, when your ego's in bloom, Sometimes, when you take it for granted, You're the best qualified in the room. Sometimes, when you think that your going, Would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow this simple example, And see how it humbles the soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist; Pull it out, and the hole that's remaining, Is a measure of how you'll be missed. You may splash all you please when you enter, You may stir up the water galore; But stop, and you'll find in 3 minute, That it looks quite the same as before. The moral in this quaint example, Is to do just the best that you can; Be proud of yourself, but remember, There is no INDISPENSIBLE man.
