Winter As '687 Be Sure It's On Your. Calendar When it comes to square dance enjoyment, nothing in the activity surpasses the participation in a square dance club. For that reason, Sets in Order has designed its twice yearly vacation in- stitutes to resemble ideal square dance club situations. You'll have an opportunity to dance your favorite squares and most enjoy- able rounds. You'll learn new material and coast in the enjoyment of satisfying dances you've already learned. You'll eat, relax, and after-party with friends from all parts of the world.
Winter - The Perfect Time For a Square Dance Vacation For those whose vacation time must of necessity come in the winter or for those of you who enjoy taking a midyear vacation, the regu- lar week at Asilomar is ideal. Starting on Monday, February 5, it continues through noon of Saturday, February 10. Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful time of year on the Monterey Peninsula.
The Staffulty (That's a Combination of Staff and FacuJIii They come from California, Colorado and Texas and represent the most enjoyable for your dancing fun. For the regular week-long session, you'll have Frank and Barbara Lane, Willie and Vonnie Stottler, Marshall and Neeca Flippo and Bob and Becky Osgood. Incidentally, those who have attended weekend dance vacations and wonder about the possibility of a strenuous experience in the week long session, need worry no longer. Five day sessions are set up with relaxation and enjoyment a necessity. There'll be plenty of dancing but there'll be a much more leisurely schedule to follow. Sessions start a little later each morning and longer periods of time are provided for meals.
D°n'tHatLJIL11°11ELL Attendance at Asilomar is limited to the number who can comfort- ably dance in the beautiful Merrill Hall. For that reason, we encourage you to get your applications in early.

figt3 It is with pleasure that Bob and Becky Osgood, now in their seventh year of planning trips abroad, announce that the dream trip-of-all-trips to Europe will include Lee and Mary Helsel, Jack and Darlene Chaffee and Bob and Shirley Dawson as tour escorts. Your descriptive itinerary of this once-in-a-lifetime tour ( including some wonderful square dance events ) was part of the October 1967 issue of Sets in Order. There never was a better way to see the world than in the company of other square dancers. Your hotels will be the fin- est, meals the most elegant, and you'll be seeing some of the grandest sights Europe has to offer with expert guides and your every comfort taken into consideration.

SETS in ORDER, NOVEMBER, '67 13 O Fe)/ ...\\ SQUARE DANCING I 0 amt JUL, 4 FRIENDSHIP 1967 COAST TO COAST 8 . rile Canadian SQUARE T RAI N By Nick S. Mahara—Ottawa, Ontario, Canada IT WAS TRULY "Square Dance Time in Can- 1 ada" from June 24 to July 9 as the specially chartered Square Dance Train wove its way across that great land from coast to coast. Some 325 happy square dancers literally danced their way along the train route and gave 35 perform- ances in 23 Canadian cities and towns. Toe- tapping music and the call of the Allemande echoed from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British Columbia. The dancers from the train were joined by thousands of other dancers and non-dancers as they went. This unique dance project in line with Can- ada's Centennial celebration was organized by the Stetson Strutters Square Dance Club of Ottawa and regarded by Mr. John Fisher, Commissioner of the Canadian Centennial Commission as, "the frosting on the Centennial cake." The project took 13 months to organize and drew square dancers to travel on this All aboard! Art and Garde Jackson wave good-bye as the Centennial train heads west.

(Upper left) Official greeting in the form of an official postmark from Victoria. special train from areas as widely separated as Maine, U.S.A., in the East and Brock, Saskatchewan, in the West, The train's theme was, "Friendship from Coast to Coast" and every activity bore this out. News of its coming preceded it and at every stop crowds gathered, some waiting for hours when the train was behind schedule. Art Jackson, Chairman of the Train Project and Chief Engineer, as well, said, "It was fabulous. We have never experienced such sincere hos- pitality and it seemed to increase as we moved westward. In Hornepayne, Ontario, shops closed their doors, children were excused from school, folks travelled from miles around to witness 'Friendship in Action.' " To many on the train it was their first oppor- tunity to see more of their wide land, their first look at the majestic Canadian Rockies and their first opportunity to meet so many others of their dancing countrymen. They danced in stations, on station platforms, in arenas, on hard-packed earth, on parking lots, in shopping malls, on board the train, on board the ferry, in a fire hall and around a giant totem pole. The whole project, in itself a mighty "first," gave proof again of the wondrous hospitality of the square dance clan — as well as gaining recognition for the happiest of recreations — square dancing.

The call should not be confused with the sound of other calls. The movement itself should not be one that could be called just as well with existing basics. The movement should be smooth-flowing (not erratic or awkward) and should lend itself to rapid teaching. Last, to be considered a basic, a movement must prove its ability to withstand the test of time through continued usage. OMETIMES AN EXTREMELY LOGICAL movement becomes a bit difficult to name; either the obvious title proves misleading, or it possibly has already been attached to some other creation. There are other prob- lems that face the "creator" of good logical movements. A major stumb- ling block would be the natural resentment on the part of dancers to change. This certainly fits this month's example. A simple combination of movements would be Two Ladies Chain, followed by a Rollaway with a Half Sashay. The end result is that the two ladies have changed partners and have ended on the man's left side. Ed Gilmore decided that it would be quite natural to have the girls go into a move which would automatically end them on the man's left side without the necessity for the half sashay. The movement, a counter part for a ladies chain might (were it not confusing) be called a Left Ladies Chain. Starting with two facing couples ( I) ladies move forward, taking left hands (2), and pulling by each other (3), give the opposite man their right hand. The men put their left hand in the small of the girls' back (4), and back up as the girls move forward, clockwise, (5). The couples are actually doing a courtesy turn in reverse to end facing the other couple (6) and with the ladies now on the mens' left side. This is a good place to comment on the fact that we are indeed crea- tures of habit. Try doing a reverse swing with partners on the left. Try promenading with the man on the outside but moving in the regular counter-clockwise direction, and you'll probably agree with us. If there never had been a Two Ladies Chain in the first place, and no standard courtesy turn, this movement would undoubtedly be readily accepted. The fact that it is a little different is a challenge to the dancer's control of body mechanics. Ed Gilmore has named this movement, but rather than disclosing his suggested title, it might be interesting to see what you might name it. So, we'll wait for a month or two until we get your suggestons before we tell you Ed's. You will probably want to workshop this with some of your more experienced dancers as it is a bit tricky, but it is logical and except for breaking old habits, it can be done quite comfortably. While you're about it, you might try the same movement as a "grand" with all four ladies making a Left Hand Star to their opposite — simultaneously, Presenting The NEW 1968 VP SERIES PORTABLE TRANSCRIPTION PLAYERS IF YOUR CHECK ACCOMPANIES ORDER WE PAY THE FREIGHT Fully Fully Transistorized Transistorized System VP 25A System VP 50A-DS Portable transcription Automatic Portable transcription player and sound system Tone Arm Cueing player and sound system in two cases. 40 watt con. in one case. 20 watt con.
