Square re Dance
Time

Square dancing has, through the
years, become a tremendous rec
reatiOnal pastime-confined not to
mere local activity but enlarged to
worldwide proportions. The 9Th
Annual National Square Dance
Convention held in May in Denver,
Colorado, drew nearly nine thous-
and who registered for the occas-
ion from more than 40 states and
several Canadian provinces. One
enthusiast even flew all the way
from Munich, Germany, just to be
part of the fun. An almost full
floor of dancers at the giant Ar
ena started the festivities off in
record style and, from that time
on, there was little let-down in the
dancing.
Special highlights attracted ca
pacity seated audiences and, for
the presentation of the Pageant of
Square Dancing, the balconies
were filled with thousands of spec
tatOrs as 500 dancers from all parts
of America traced our dances from
the early 1600's to the present day.
Conference panel discussions, work
shops, Style Show-even dances
down the main street of Denver
all tended to fill out well-rOund-
ed program of square dancing that
made the Convention one the folks
in that area will not soon forget.
Every group participating in this
hobby-every club organized for
~
every individual interested in fur
thering the dances-aIl contribu-
ted to the overall picture. Thus,
Milford added it's portion on Satur-
day evening when nearly so dan
GERS gathered at the Social Hall of
the Avenue Methodist Church to
dance to the smooth, relaxed call
ing of Lou Hildebrand, guest caller
from Hyattsville, Md. The Diamond
State Twirlers were delighted to
welcome number of guests from
out of town. Couples from Chester,
Pa; Wilmington and Dover, Del;
as well as the vicinity of Washing
ton, d. c., all added to a delight
full evening of fun and fellowship.
Guest spectators apparently enjoy
ed the dancing as much as the dan
GERS themselves, and the Club was
especially glad to have them visit.
After-the-dance parties often fin
ish off these evenings, and this
time was no exception as the Will
mington couples joined the BurI-
1ngames at their home. The folks
from Chester and the Washington
area adjourned to the KennerIy
Lamberts' for sandwiches and cof-
fee.
Whenever square dance callers
get together-as in this case Frank
Ritter of the Chester Y-KnOts Club
and the Hildebrands (who were
weekend guests of the Lamberts),
you can always expect a lively, in
teresting discussion on square
dance activity in the various areas.
Real square dance enthusiasts
never tire either of dancing or dis
cussing their hobby.
All OF these folks derive so much
pleasure from their square dance
associations h at everyone is
strongly urged to give this popular
recreation trial. Another class
for Square Dancers will start in
Milford in September. Folks, start
looking into this matter and Join
up for more fun and fellowship
than you ever believed possible.

In colonial times, the present re-

tracts with fields of corn, wheat
and other crops surrounding cy-

possibilities as a summering place

In 1872, a group, subsequently
known as the Rehoboth Beach

Methodist Episcopal Church, bought
a tract on the beach front and laid
out streets. The next year, two

Big Variance

You can throw away aver
ages when building q home.
From the standpoint Of cost,
there's really no such thing
as an average house.
In Chicago, for example,
where labor costs are cur
rently high, you will pay
about $12.51 per square foot
to build a standard house.
In Dallas, on the other hand,
the cost estimate is only $8.04
per square foot for the same
basic house.

 Robert is the lad whose efforts to ob tain experimental soil samples from cold weather areas met with illustration in all except 29 instances.
 The American Embassy in Ice land sent him some. And a per sonal appeal to Soviet Premier Khrushchev produced three boxes of Siberian soil with explanatory letters.
 The Commercial Appeal said the imported samples might have violated a 1857 federal plant pest act. It said U. s. Department of Agriculture officials would in struct John T. Bigham, USDA inspector in Memphis, to make an immediate inspection and impose safeguards.

Air Force Economy Move Cancels Huge Bomber Contracts

WASHINGTON, tR - The B. 70 heavy bomber program was all but wiped out Tuesday by the Air Force in an economy move, which also cancelled 200-million dollar subcontract held by the Boeing Airplane Co.
 Boeing was to have built wings for the supersonic chemically powered bomber at it's Seattle plant. The company had invested nearly three million dollars in plant facilities and had about 1,20O employees working on the BIO project.
 The cutback reduces the BIO program to small-scale develop ment to produce prototype. The Air Force indicated about two planes would be built, with the first making it's test flight in 1863.
 About half a billion dollars has been spent on the BIO program to date.
 In Seattle, Boeing had no com ment but indicated the action would not result in any noticeable reduction in it's work force.
 The BIO, designed to fly at three times the speed of sound, was originally planned as a re- placement for the B-52 heavy, in tercontinental nuclear bomber.
 North American Aviation Co. holds the major contract. General Electric was responsible for the J-93 advanced jet engine designed to power the bomber.
 Other major aircraft companies and electronic firms were heavily involved in the BIO. Lockheed, Boeing and Chance Vought had major subcontracts.
 Officials estimated that reduc- ton of the BIO program to a strictly development prof t would save the Air Force about 85 million dollars in the fiscal 1861 budget that will be submitted to Congress next month.
