If , you like the rollicking goad fun af a square dance and live in the city, then yau're in luck. You don't have ta ike out ta corne rural barn jamboree, ion square. dancing bas gane urban, and lt's the fashion now for city folks ta twirl and slomp ta the mcrry aIrains ai the "Irish Washerwom- amny t"This revival af the cheenful 1-ecial dances began in the Unit- ed'States, partly through the ne- search sponsored by the late Henry Fond. Il bas spread rap- idly ta Canada. One af the leaders in this re- vival le Professor Fred L. Bart- lett, head ai Queen's University School ai Physical and Health Education. Before he came ta Queen's three years aga, Mn. Bart- lett was director ai physical and health education for Ontario. Mns. Bartictt was supervisan oi phys- ical education for the Toronto Board af Education. Bath bave been active in developing a prav- ince-wide interest lu square dances. (Editor's Note-Many States- man readens will necali when Pro- tesson Bartlett's tather, the late Rev. S. T. Barllett was a. young ( Metbadist minister on the Tyrone Co circuit araund the turn ai the çentury, and hie mother was a dister ai Miss Eva Hellyan who now lives on Division St. As we read this article aur memory was taken back ta aur boyhood days when we Methodiste were led ta believe dancing was a terrible sin-and now a son ai bhc parson- age is teaching dancing in ma.ss production at anc ai aur largest Canadian universities. How limes have changed! We're not com- piaining for we envy the young people as we watch them "swing their partnere" in a rousing good old fashianed hoe-down square dance.) Fifteen years ago Mn. Bartlett introduced square dancing ta To- ronto bigh schools, aI the third form level. Duning the next de- cade he was responsible for the training ai thousands ai yaung folk in the routines and stepe oi these dances. These pupils are now scattered throughoub Canada, and with the desire for dancing instilied int them at echool, they are heiping ta swell Ibis revival. Mr. BartletI will tell you thal Henry Ford's research mbt the GENERAL ELECTRIC LAMPS CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC LAID s New England quadrille sparked the ising intenest lu square dan- smng. "We feel that thec New Engiand quadrille was simpiy a pioncer tonm a o the stately quadrilles ai France and the European Contin- ent. Most people in the early dayp did not know how ta dance them. Sa the caller was evolved. He telle the. dancers wbaî their next steps wiii be, and the move- mente are made easy" Mn. Bart- letI claIes. Mrs. Bartlett expiains the trend ta square dancing tbis way: About lwenty years ago the baiiroom dances were rciatively simple. Anyone could gel up and one-step. Wilh a little praclice a student could waltz and fox- trot. Then about 1935 the period ai jive began, with ils ofi-beal complicated rhythm. Many young people now in their late 20s and early 30e' in age, went through high school wbcn jive was the smart thing ta do. Most found il 100 difficuit and did nal attempt IL. The recuit was that a few did the dancing whilc the manýr watched the show put on by the ,othens. The fun which a former genenation found in dancing was denicd Ibese bokys and girls. They bad an instinctive dçsirc for the simple dance forme. They want- ed ta dance and when bbey saw square dancing lbey wanted ta do that. Now that thcy bave seen the fun and enjoyinent in the soqial dances, they are tunning ta thcm enthusiastically. There werc other factors Iu this revival 100, ai course, euch as a returu ta normal living aflen ten years ai wan, and the wide pop- ular demand for dancing with real fun in il. For whenever cur- rent fashions in dancing ibecome too formai ta be fun a new and livelier routine will soon start up. That is anc af the main reason's why jive is.giving way aI Queen's and al aver Canada and h United States ta the rollicking rhythms ai the quadrilles. LEGAL W. R. STRIKE, K.C.

The material used was fram Gayelord Hauser, author oi sevenal books on nu-. trition and a well known inter- national lecture. Mrs. Warden's subject was "Bat right ta feel iight" followed by Mrs. Stevens, "Look yaunger and live longer." Much valuable information was gleaned tram these two articles. Since fruit. vegetables, meat, eggs and dairy producte ai taday are nat rich in minerais as were the foods oi the pioneers and virgin lands. much more care and thought ie required in the field ai nutrition, If people wish ta loak and teel fit. unal foods, cooked and served ta everyday use today were aur nat- uni toods, caaked and served ta conserve flavour and nutrients; when supplements are necessary as we find they are, the every day use ai wheat germ, brewers' yeast, skimn milk, yogurt and ,black (crude) molasses are rec- ammended and ail may be punch- ased at health food stores. Foods for snacks and for sugan content rnay be fruits and fruit juices, raisins, crackers and cheese and aur own homne-pro- duced honey and maple syrup or Iblack molèsses milk hds I[t has been found that tension, h hur d,worry are fatiguixg andthèreforeageing so the ideal program is work and relaxation. The art af relaxing is most im- portant. When work or tension with lack of quietness ar relax- atian has caused irritability a snack which will tuild up the loss af blood sugar le most necessary. On a long matar trip a molasses milk shake is an ideal pickup. Two examples af the effect of diet was given. One af a group of students confined ta reiined toods of sugar and starches, and the éther that of athietes' basis nat- ural foods. The finds were what anyone might expect, a case was mentioned of the athietes diet of the basic foods changing the diet af the whole fanuly. Mrs. Edwin Ormiston read an article on "New Trends.in Home Ecqnomics." If this trend cbn- tinues there should be fewer heip- less Daddys in times of home cris- is.
