Take A SD along for vacation reading and during your R&R give a little thought to the topics raised by this month's authors. Our cover story, with quotes from Jerry Haag, will give many a reader some clues about what makes a caller successful and what keeps him active over the years. Many areas overseas are in the processes of organization through which states and localities have already progressed. Bernard Linley tells the status of dancing In Italy. Working together and finding areas of mutual agreement are Important to standardizing our dancing so that visitors and new residents find similarities wherever they go. In February 1979, a survey dealing with round dance cues was published; this month Fred and Kay Haury discuss the results. "We've always done it this way," is one of those phrases that may spell out terminal disease in any organization. Can we learn "new tricks"? Read Al Eblen's article on page 23. Instead of the usual humorous center spread, these two pages this month list the current Callerlab programs. Familiarize yourself with the lists and where your dancing ability lies. Only a few changes were made in 1979 but the lists are slightly different from last year's. Dave Simons of New York City created the caller for "Sketchpad Commentary" this month. Dave is a professional cartoonist and specializes in comic book art.

The rain failed to dampen the spirits of nearly 200 members and guests as Gingham and Swing'em hosted their 25th Silver Anniversary last April. Dancers came from all over Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania; one came from Missouri. The hall was elegantly decorated with silver and black silhouettes of dancing couples, bells, silver bows and ferns. Tables were coverd with silver and featured candle-floral centerpieces with silver glitter numbers on black place cards. The refreshment table was covered with pink net and the centerpiece was a beautiful three-tier anniversary cake with flowing fountain, baked and decorated by club president Belva Lauvray. Serving were Laura Ingram, Opal Stipes, Belva Lauvray, Maxine Todd, Pat Lanning and Joyce Davis. Included in refreshment planning were Mr. and Mrs. Max Snyder. Club President Allen Lauvray introduced Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Harrold, the only charter members. Mr. Harrold introduced Ed and Mary Michl of Kent, the former club caller and organizer. (Ed was the originator of star thru.) Al Arron presented the Harrolds and Michls with floral banquets from the club. Honorary members Mr. and Mrs. Don Owens and Mrs. Laura Ingram were recognized. Three hours of fun passed quickly, with Sonny Bess calling and rounds cued by Emma Lou Risley. At the close of the dance, past-president Cecil Davis said, "Two years in planning and it finally came off," and so beautifully and gratifyingly!

ROGER KNOX— COUNTRY CALLER by Lon Hoyt

It is very difficult to make new friends if you go to the dance with three other couples, square up every tip with the same couples and all sit in the same group during breaks.

38 American Squaredance. August 1979 As we move around from club to club, we are comparing different calling methods in a situation in which both callers have spent little time in preparation. The local callers work full time at a non-calling job and some call many times a week. With that "no- preparation-time" situation, the sight caller comes out ahead of the others. The "non-sight" caller must rely on THE SIGHT-CALLING MYTH previously learned or written material. by A.

Actives immedi- ately join right hands with couple below to form star. All of this takes 4 counts. Remaining 4 counts of phrase is a setting step, or pas-de-basque, in place. 8 TURN AND SET— Turn star half way in four counts, setting step in place 4 counts.

Second progression. Heads and foots do not cross over at end of each sequence but wait out first 4 counts as everyone else crosses over. Heads and foots have R hands ready to join star. Confusion about with whom to form star can be avoided if actives give hands to couple below, and inactives to couple above, or extend hands in direction of progression. Everyone should begin with right foot. It is recommended that everyone wear pajamas for optimal effect.

New concept in security timers. The Watchdog turns lamps and radios on and off automatically at random inter- vals of 3 to 25 minutes. Gives impression of continuous activity going on inside home or business to protect against burglars, but there's no predict- able On/Off pattern as with other security timers. Operates unexpectedly to create most realistic "lived in" look and sound when you're asleep, away for the evening, or on vacation. The times are always changing, never repeating, day after day. Easy to use, no dials to set, nothing to install. Lamp plugs into Watchdog. Watchdog plugs into wall outlet. Has continuous "On" position for uninterrupted light. $19.95 A.M. Corporation P.O.
