Along with January 1, the first day of a new year, American Squaredance has several "firsts" to share with you. Back in 1968, when your present description in "Meanderings" of a dance editors assumed their responsibilities, in upstate New York last summer. Let us several editorials encouraged readers to answer those by saying that we are not write in, saying, "This is your square downgrading traditional dancing. It's dance magazine." Sometimes we've run great! Remember we were dancing when long "Feedback" articles when a "hot western dancing was unknown— way potato," such as the moratorium on new back when!

January 1981 Again this issue our cover is graced with a painting by Elizabeth Hempel of Ver- mont, who creates these likenesses by working from photographs. We are happy to feature the work of this talented artist. Paul Hartman's story of square dancing in Europe will run in two parts, this month and next. Paul thinks he has probably done more calling in Europe than any other non-resident. For several years he has made annual and semi-annual trips overseas, usually sandwiching in some calling and visiting with the square dancers. A caller's wife and free-lance writer, making her third appearance in these pages, is Bev Warner of Saginaw, Michigan. Clubs commemorating anniversaries for members may want to "lift and use" the idea of the mock wedding. Curley Custer is currently a member of the CALLERLAB board of governors. He hails from Maryland and has been on the square dance scene a score of years and more. Don't pass Ida ReDingoes poem as just nonsense. Her delightful rhyme has more than a grain of fact hidden in the fantasy! Happy 1981!

6 Inn, and after seeing Cathie off towards home, I rented an Agency (good, low- price cars— try 'em) and drove to Oak Lawn, where my hosts, caller Duane and Donna Rodgers had set up a first-time, ten-set ASD dance with their Belles and Beaux Club. Donna is one of those tireless "pro" promoters of square danc- ing, and swapping ideas was pure pleasure (See ASD, Oct., p. 19.) Loyal, Wisconsin— Next day I flew to Minneapolis and rented a half-a-Chevy to go to Loyal, which is on a straight road east toward Wausau. My hosts were Jerry and Dianne Rinehart, great farm folks. Loyal is a crossroads town, hardly visible on the map. Twelve sets converging on that school cafeteria made a big crowd for such a rural area, and we had a fall ball, especially at potluck time. Hand-printed badges for all were a special touch. All in all, a royal Loyal good time. Johnstown, Pennsylvania- Fun with the All American Swingers. 'How's that for a patriotic name?

"Tex" is known to thousands of callers and square dancers from Maine to California, Winnipeg to Mexico, since he is a veteran caller of about 32 years "on the road," as well as the popular recreation director and square dance festival coordinator of Fontana Village Resort, where over a dozen huge square dance festivals are conducted each spr- ing and fall.

American Squaredance, January 1981 57 This latch-hooked square would be an eye-catching attraction as a club banner or part of one— or just a wall hanging at your dance hall. The one above was in royal blue and white, a striking combination, but any combination of colors is available. If you send swatches of club colors, the Powells will try to match them. Creators of the latch-hooked squares are Maggie and Louis Powell of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, parents of well-known Ohio caller, Eddie Powell. The squares are 15" x 15" with 14" dancers.
