December 1984 3 How naive we are to expect "peace on earth," a thought that our hopes center on each December holiday season. This year especially, peace seems a remote dream. Today. as this is written for the deadline, is the day Indira Ghandi was shot in India. Recently Margaret That- cher and her party leaders were victims of a menacing bomb. Terrorism is ram- pant in the world. Within our own square dance activity. we have factions that do not "agree to disagree," but attack opponents with disparagingly personal remarks rather than negotiating differences. Even those who try to mediate andtor present open forums for ideas come under fire. Some of us who were involved even briefly in the attempt to have the square dance named the National Folk Dance found that within the broad scope of the activity, factions not only differ on preferences.

Articles BY-LINE with a Christmas flavor include NiNi Harris' recounting of the link between U dancing and caroling in "ye olde days," and Bev Warner's story of her candy-making square dancer friend. Both these writers have appeared frequently on ASD's pages. Advice to dancers comes from Mike Sikorsky and Ed Foote. Mike, a caller from California, shares a philosophy, while Ed, also a caller and hailing from Pennsylvania, presents down-to-earth tips for improving one's dan- cing. Bill Barr, another caller who comes from Connecticut, revisits the "magic bag" with more suggestions for inclusion. Jeanne O'Hara has written a whimsical Christmas rhyme using square dance terms. Jeanne is also from Pennsylvania and writes often for Pen-del-Fed-Facts. Bob Kemper, a round dance cuer and LEGACY trustee from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, originated our puzzle this month. We welcome a new cartoonist to our pages—Dennis Murphy of Col- umbia. Missouri. And last but not least, the caller collage calendar in the center spread was designed by Sue Donym, our mysterious sometime contributor.

See Passive Advance cue bid The cue bid of a first round control that occurs before a partnership has agreed on a suit.

Adverse When you are vulnerable and opponents non-vulnerable. Also called "unfavourable vulnerability vulnerability." Agreement An understanding between partners as to the meaning of a particular bid or defensive play. Alert A method of informing the opponents that partner's bid carries a meaning that they might not expect; alerts are regulated by sponsoring organizations such as EBU, and by individual clubs or organisers of events. Any method of alerting may be authorised including saying "Alert", displaying an Alert card from a bidding box or 'knocking' on the table.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification.

It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
