POSTMASTER
URGES CARE
TN MAILING

If you haven't already mailed
your Christmas packages, you
should make every effort to get
them in the mail just as soon as
possible TO assure delivery before
Christmas, S. w. Garrell, Jr..
postmaster, announced thi S
week.
people put off mailing their
Christmas packages and cards
until just before the holidays and
then the mails are so TANNED
that many can not be delivered
to distant points before Deem
Der Is. Most packages should
have already been mailed, but
if you haven't mailed yours, you
should by all means do so at
once" Carroll said.
He also emphasized the need
for correct and complete address
ing of packages and cards. Much
of the Christmas mail that has
come in does not have complete
addresses and it makes delivery
slower or in some cases impossi.
BILE to locate the receiver.
eff people will clearly write or
print the addresses on all their
mail that they are sending out
and get them into the post office
in plenty of time, there would
be much less congested mailing
conditions and persons would be
sure of receiving what was sent
to them in plenty of time" Gar
rell said.

is probably because through
the years other than the most
distant kind of courting was
frowned upon.
Girls in Russian dances put
their hands to their chest
most of the time. This, says
Mr., Rosenberg, is probably
because of the multiple
strands of heavy beads Rus
sian girls used to Wear-beads
which, If not held down,
would bounce up and smite a
dancer in her teeth-and,

that may be because the
warm climate did not inspire
exertion. The men often
dance with their hands be-
hind their backs, and that
really Is to hold on to their
blanketlike SerapeS.
The Russian dances. on the
other hand, have a tendency
to be rather violent. and
that, Mr.. Rosenberg says. is
because the climate of the
steppcs called for consider
able excrtion to keep warm.
In Palestine the hot sands
burning on naked feet may
have had something to do
long ago with instilling a

Artist and Authority on World Dances

A NAVY DEPARTMENT ar
"A tist who draws cartoons
and illustrations by day Gre
ates In an entirely new di-
mcnsion by night-the folk
dance.
To David Rosenberg, a
Swedish Hambo. a Greek
Syrto or any one Of a hun
drcd other native dances Is
the living essence Of all that
an artist would like to COM
bine In his drawings or paint
ings. That Is one reason why
he goes SO energctically about
his part-timc job as folk
dance director for the District
Recreation Department.
"All the things an artist
looks for are there" he says.
Line. color, form and mo-
ton, not TO mention costume.
jcwelry and music-and, OH.
yes, foods"
But. most important Of all
he says, Is people people of
many national extractions
who give to local folk dance
sessions the warmth and rich
ness Of many bloods.
Dancing" says Mr.. Rosen-
berg, with great earnestness,
lis stronger than politics. It
has q great potential for Gre
ating liking and understand
ing between national groups
who otherwise might be
divided"
From this one can gather
that Mr.. Rosenberg. an agile
and authoritative dancer, has
more than a superficial ap-
prOach to the dance. He Is
constantly doing research on
the subject, talking to experts
on various folkways and cul-
lures, and learning about the
customs. music and, above all.
the dances of divers nations.
For example. he has given
considerable thought to why
certain native dances are
done the way they are.
The dances of Mexico, he
says, are mostly languid. and

perchance, knock out a few.
Mr.. Rosenberg takes pains
to convey these fine nuances
to the 100 or more persons
actively participating in the
Thursday night Recreation
Department dance sessions at
Central High School. He and
his group, plus many more
from the Metropolitan Area,
will be seen In the Folk Dance
Festival to be held at Central
this Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
AS a teacher one Of Mr..
Rosenberg's most memorable
experiences was at a dance
at the Officers Club at Fort
Myer. He used regular mill
tary march cadence TO start
them off that night. and be-
fore long many all officer
and his lady found them
selves doing a SchOttiSchc
without quite understanding
how the evolution came about.
Mr.. Rosenberg says knoWl-
edge Of a few simple steps
provides the key to most for
cign dances. He himself Is
now learning American In
dian dances.
He has been a devotee of
folk dancing only about five
years. Before the war he
danced the usual ballroom
dances and once even won a
Big Apple contest. One eve
ming in New York, where he
was then stationed as a Navy
enlisted man, he went past
a hall in the Polish section,
heard music. peeped in and
saw dancers having a high
old time with a polka. He
and his service buddies were
invited in, joined the dances.
and from then on he was a
convert to folk dancing.
About a month later, when
he was stationed in Wash
ington. his home on the beach
at Winthrop. Mass. was
washed away by a tidal wave.
He and his wife decided to
stay here. They live at 1852
South Nash street, Arlington.
He remained with the Navy
as a civilian, and is art direc-
tor for the International
Services Branch. $. b.

SfUDDER RESIGNS FROM BOY SCOUT
 EXECUTIVE STAFF

Resignation of Doremus P. Scud- der from the executive staff of the Alaska Boy Scout council is an- .nounced by scout executive Maurice Powers. Scudder has served as field executive at Ketchikan for the past two years, making regular visits from there to Petersburg, Wrangell, Sitka and the West Coast towns of Hydaburg, Craig. and Klawock. Under his leadership, membership in the Southern District has grown from a total of 238 boys in 16 units to it's present high of 407 boys in 21 units.
 "Dory's enthusiasm for scouting has been a great stimulus to all of US who have had the opportunity to work with him during the past two years. We shall miss his assistance on the professional staff and in camp. where he has been especially popular with our scouts. However, we hope that he may be able to arrange affairs in his new position so that he will continue to be with us on the Eagle River camp staff" Powers said.
 Scudder has accepted position with the Alaska Native Service at Mt. Edgecumbe, and he plans to continue as a volunteer scouter with the Alaska Council. His assignment at Ketchikan for the Boy Scouts is being taken over this month by Edward K. Browne, formerly acting field executive for the Alaska Coun- cil at Fairbanks.
