AMERICAN Single Copy $1.00 Annual $9.00 SQUARE DANCE Clecritilier 19111 "THE BOSS" by Woo Power enough for 100 squares— twice the power of our previous models, yet small and lightweight for Alb 1\ quick, convenient portability. Exceptional Reliability— proven in years of square dance use. A $1,000. Value— but priced at just $635.! • Why the P-400 Is the Finest Professional Sound System Available This 17-pound system, housed in a 14"x14"x5" sewn vinyl carrying is easy to transport and set up, yet will deliver an effortless 120 R.M.S. watts of clear, clean power. Conservative design which lets the equipment "loaf"results in high reliability and long life. Yet this small powerhouse has more useful features than we have ever offered before: VU meter for convenient visual sound level indication Two separate power amplifiers Two separately adjustable microphone channels Optional remote music control 5-gram stylus pressure for extended record life (Others use up to 10!) Internal strobe BUILT-IN music-only monitor power amplifier Tape input and output Convenient control panel Exclusive Clinton Features Only Clinton has a floating pickup/turntable suspension, so that an accidental bump as you reach for a control knob will not cause needle skip. Only Clinton equipment can be operated on an inverter, on high line voltage, or under conditions of output overload without damage. Only Clinton offers a dual speed control— normal and extended range (0-80 r.p.m.) and automatic speed change from 33 to 45 rpm Clinton alone rates power output, supplies a comprehensive service handbook including SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS for easy emergency service, and makes available plug-in components for such service. We Back Up Our Products If you don't like the P-400 for any reason, return it within 30 days for a full refund (except shipping). Parts and labor for any factory service within one year are fully warranted. For as long as you, the original purchaser, own your Clinton, we will supply loan equipment should you wish to return it for service. If price were no object, the P-400 would still be the best performing and most reliable system on the market. Yet this new standard of excellence is priced at a modest $635. THE BOSS is the best choice at any price.

John Swindle 3 Gifts We Give The holidays are a time for gift-giving. Gifts of all kinds are exchanged: some with deep meaning, some almost in passing. But there are hidden gifts we CO-EDITORK are asked to give. At a recent national meeting of the Girl Scouts, we heard girls pledging to celebrate the organization's 70th birth- day by giving a gift to the U.S. of water. Through many acts of service, water- ways will be cleaned up, through cooperation and planning, more people will enjoy water-related recreation and on and on. Perhaps 2,829.458 girls and women make a difference. As usual, this thread of thought led to what square dancers give to others. The list of service projects is long: blood banks. benefit dances. nursing home dance programs, free exhibitions. Many dancers participate in this kind of gift- A gracious acceptance of mistakes. giving to their communities. They are to Do you recognize what these lead to? be praised and commended.
