American Squaredance, May 1983 Consider some of the important words that have changed lives. "Love thy neighbor," "All men are created equal," "Ask not what your country can do for cn onnoRML you, but what you can do...," "I love you," "Allemande left..." From the sublime to the ridiculous. right? Take another look, another thought. How many folks do you know whose lives were changed by their entry into the square dance activitiy? Within our limited knowledge, we can describe handicaps overcome, divorces averted and relationships enriched by the square dance experience. Of course, negative words have their effects, too. The quick put-down, the derogatory remark, the thoughtless omission of thanks or compliments or in- vitations to join groups, may drive dan- cers, as someone has recently stated, to go bowling. A favorite saying of ours is, "Lord, the "law" of a youth organization, but help me to watch my words today, for perhaps we should retain that early tomorrow I may have to eat them." Un- training in our adult relationships. fortunately, we sometimes do not have And while we're talking about choos- the chance to "eat our words," to ing words, callers, when you create your apologize.

May 1983 Dance activities seem to be the focus it of this month's articles. Phyllis Dark BY-LINE highlights a special festival in the Spr- ingfield, Missouri, area, while Gaye Den. ley describes the best cloggers in Texas. One activity some dancers would rather omit is sneezing, and Bev Warner tells us why this happens to many and how to get help. Our old friend Al Eblen is back with a comparison to grapefruit pie. Sounds puckery! This month's poem is written by a British dancer, Clive Grey, whose wife owns one of the few SID shops abroad. The RID scene is represented by Harmon and Betty Jorritsma and an article on the quickstep.
