recent trip. his troupe con-
sisted of 10 boys and girls
from the senior high school,
which has a total enrolment
of 70.
The dancers perform cow
boy dances, New England
dances and Mexican dances
in fact, any North American
dance, although Mr.. Shaw de-
cided some years ago to
forego Indian dances because,
he found, mo white boy can
possibly get the feel of them"
However, his group does per-
form a weird and stirring tri-
bal ceremonial dance which
has been widely acclaimed.
Mr.. Shaw, now So, used to
be a fine dancer once him.
self. His dancing enjoyment
is purely vicarious now, for he
is crippled, the result of hav-
ing broken one hip in an
automobile accident eight
years ago, and the other a few
years later, when a horse
rolled over with him. How
ever, his physical incapacity
has not dimmed his ardor for
teaching others.
How many swimming
coaches actually swim them
selves?" he asks with a BOOM
ing laugh.
Probably the finest tribute
ever paid Mr.. Shaw was once
written to him by Sherwood
Anderson, the playwright, as
follows:
THE feeling of fun, the JOY
of living. is too much gone
out of most of us. You seem
to be keeping it alive in these
dances"

BY STANLEY BAITZ
Among the enthusiasts are
judges. businessmen, social
ties. One of the more expert
callers of square-dance fig
ures is Assistant Secretary of
State Willard Thorpe. An
other is John Dreier, a State
Department official. Dean
Acheson was active in such a
group when he was Under
secretary of State.
For years. the square dance
has been an intrinsic part of
the training in Washington
elementary schools, thanks to
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, prin-
cipal of Bancroft School, who
is presently engaged in revis-
ing the course of study SO as
to broaden the scope of dance
and rhythm.
Dancing. she says. gives chill
dren poise, a feeling of group
solidarity, and affords them
release from inner tensions.
And the square dance, prop
erly executed, captures both
grace and basic Americana,
she feels.
Mr.. Shaw's interest in the
dance is entirely extracur-
ricular, he said on his recent
visit. As superintendent of
the Cheyenne Mountain
School, where he has served
for 80 years, he is concerned
first with academies. After
school hours is when he
trains his pupils in the intri-
cate figures they display so
prettily for spectators ali
over the country. Twice a
year, he takes a specially
chosen group on tour. In the
spring, they go east; in the

II you don't have any real pref

get a forward leaner. They are
apt to cost a bit more, but In the

I suggest buying a tree whose

True, such a tree isn't quite as
pretty as one which is younger and
fresher and whose needles are ap-
parently fixed on with cement, but
you'll find it a help after Christ

the mistake of trying to find a
third class of Christmas tree, one
that fits. There is no such thing.
To seek one Is a complete waste Of
time and patience. Nature has been
at war with living rooms for GEN.
turies and has absolutely put her
foot down at producing tree that
is Of the proper size.
Must Be Out Of Proportion.
Even II a shopper for a Christ
mas tree did accomplish the i'm
possible and locate one that was
just right In every respect for his
home, he would be very unwise to
buy 1t. For, to look correct, a
Christmas tree must be incorrect.
1t must be out of proportion with
the room in which it Is to be
placed. It must either dominate
the room by being much, much too
large, or be so much too small that
it Is overshadowed by the furniture
and the inhabitants Of the house
and looks as If it were a small shrub
that happened into the home by
accident.
Before deciding on tree, always
be sure to study which way 1t leans.

New Candidate Seen.
If all goes well. however. Mr.. Arvey
will have another candidate for
President, not Mr.. Truman, in 1852.
Governor-elect Stevenson bears q
great Democratic name-his grand
father was Grover Cleveland's Vice.
President-and he Is amply quail
fed by intelligence and character
to aspire to the presidency.
But he viii have q hard testing at
Springfield, as Mr.. Arvey is first to
admit At q luncheon for the
Chicago organization this fall, Mr
Stevenson airily greeted the crowd
with: "The only reason hate to
go to Springfield is that I will leave
all you good people behind"
Don't worry, they'll follow you!"
Mr.. Arvey stuck in instantly. The
crowd of practical precinct workers
roared its appreciation Of the jest
while Mr. Stevenson, who has never
held elective Office before, grinned
somewhat ruefully.
In addition to the hungry DEM
ocrats who have not tasted the
fieshpots Of state Office for many
years in Illinois, Mr.. Stevenson in
herits an administration under
widespread attack for grating and
mismanagement Of all kinds. To
restore 1t to honor and efficiency
while at the same time placating
his fellow-Democrats will take a
very large measure Of brains,
courage and political skill.
He Is probably lucky to have Mr.
Arvey at his elbow. In Chicago
they say that the boss, marine
in World War II, "got religion" In
the Pacific. Certainly a boss who
can point to the Kennelly-Steven-
son-Douglas trio need take no back
talk from any good government
league. 1t could be he wants now
to give his country q President OF
that stripe.
