Farmers Indifferent
To Cash Crop

with the canner had been highly
successful and profitable and he
urged local farmers to enter into
the plan enthusiastically. “There is
no reason,” he said, “why you farm-
ers can’t make money using lower
cost land and growing the quality
of tomatoes Jim Hutchison says your
fields can produce. To back-up his
confidence in the plan, Mr. Laskow-
ski contracted to produce 15 acres
this season and other farmer's con-
tracts brought the total to 80 out
of the 150 acres needed.
In order to give the growers more
time to reconsider the plan and the
opportunity to interest other farm-
ers in its development, it was de-
cided to hold another meeting in the
high school auditorium next Wed-
nesday night, February 25.
Both Boyardee Brothers, owners
of the firm, were present at Wed-
nesday night's meeting to observe
the reaction of local growers to their
first opportunity to interest a nat-
ionally known canner in their own
local area.

machine gunned by a Japanese pilot
as he bailed out of his plane over |
Hawaii. Dick expressed the desire to |
“get at those yellow fellows quickly.” |
Asked if he knew the boy, Dr. G.!
L. Howell expressed the sentiment |
of all Kingston Township citizens. |
“Did, I know, Dick, I brought him |
into the world. He played with my
boy and peddled the Record all!
around these hills. When he was.
about fourteen he used to milk Jo- |
sephine Hazeltine's cows and help |
her with her chores every day. He |
was one of the best boys in this |
town.” |
Down at the Bank Fred Eck said,
“I like what an old friend said of |
Dick this morning. ‘Something like |
this is the only way Dick would |
ever get his name in the papers,’ he |
was that kind of boy.” |
He was a member of Trucksville
the choir and was active in young
people’s work. He was also a mem-
ber of Pi Delta Epsilon Fraternity. |
Beside his parents, Mr. and Mrs. |
Wilson Cease, he leaves a sister, Mrs.
Hamilton Young, formerly advertis- |
ing manager for P. A. Brown & Co., |
and the wife of Dr. Hamilton Young
attached to the Army Dental Corps
and three brothers; Arnold in Con-
neticut, and Warren and Phillip
Cease at home.

the small-fry of the neighborhood
and teach them the steps, training
one square in the dining room, then
promoting them to the living-room
to go through the same steps while
another square learns the intricacies
of the dance.
There is something very whole-
| sume about the current revival of
square-dancing. It allows a combi-
nation of all age-groups, which in
itself is highly desirable. As square-
dancing requires a definite number
of people, eight to a square, no one
has a chance to sit on the sidelines
and become bored with life. There
is something doing every minute.

Little Johnnie and Little Susie may

The caller stands between the two
rooms and superintends both groups.
When he is feeling particularly pep-
py he dances and calls simultane-
ously, but this procedure takes a
great deal of wind. Sometimes he
loses as much as five pounds in
| weight during an evening's session.
There are an astonishing number
| of square-dances, some of them
| boisterous, some of them graceful,
| but all of them done rapidly and
| with strongly accented rhythm.
| Each community has slight varia-
| tions of the same dance, a sort of

tered if you wish to become letter-
perfect in the art.

Men
who start the evening arrayed con-
ventially in dark business suits, peel
off coat and vest after the first
dance, working down toward rock
bottom as things steam up. Down to
bedrock, and puffing like porpoises
(or is it porpi?) the men become
more and more agile as the evening
progresses.
The ladies, if they are smart, will
wear something severely tailored,
cool and airy. They will avoid any-
thing that is likely to part company
in the middle, as some of the figures
in the dance are designed to put a
terrible strain upon the midriff.
They will fall into bed and sleep
like legs after four hours of steady
galloping, and the next morning
they will be aware of a number of
muscles which they did not know
they possessed. They will be partic-
pected muscles if they have done the
figure, “Ladies” hands up and gents’
hands down, giver ’er a whirl, and
around and around.” The subsequent
stiffness starts out mildly enough in
the shoulder-blades, but Ry
downwards until it takes in the pec-
toral muscles and the diaphragm.
The striped cats have run desper-
ately to cover every Saturday night
for about a month. They view the
caller with suspicion bordering on
frenzy ever since the night when he
picked up one of them, cradled it in
his arms, and started to twirl.
Faster and faster he went, spinning
on his heels until he resembled a
midwest cyclone. Then he made a
sudden swoop, and set the cat on|
its feet. Poor Willie. She started to
go away from there, but the spin
had befuddled her and her balance-
mechanism went completely hay-
wire. She started for the door in a
series of scallops, describing arc af-
ter arc until she finally fell down the
cellar stairs.
Since that time, at the first strains
of the ‘Arkansas Traveller”, both
cats make a concerted dive for the
great outdoors and disappear into
the night.
Perhaps the neighbors feel the
same way.
