us hope the movement takes strong
root in Montana. Farmers Union
people in the state have been stress

wholesome recreation for farm fam
lilies. Farmers Union camps and
schools are no longer complete with
out sessions devoted to learning new
folk dance forms.
/ am sure that many farmers are
glad to see their city cousins take
up the folk dance in such big way.
One more thing must be said about
the Montana Folk Dance Festival. 1t

had tempo. Kenneth POWELL said all
of us could do it if we wanted to.
He had the proof in the folks on the
floor and in the spectators who
joined in.
The community folk dance is a
wholesome alternative for the COM
merciaiized dance hall with its rather
frequent related vices. The folk
dance with all it's variations gives
people chance to develop poise as
and as members of the
group without the poison of isolation
that some rugged individualists
get as they grab their fun
in all-night, single partnership sprees
in the usual dance forms of today.
Country dancing is growing in
in America and it is
