country hoe-down. Music from
the country orchestra varied IN
style from the Tennessee Waltz
to Twist Around The Clock,
and in-between they found
time for square dances, fox
trots, and any and everything
else that's been invented. Twist
ers were most prevalent and
Sarah Lee Greenhalgh and
Vicki Weller took top honors
while Ray Norton, jr. showed
the most eXuberance.
Jim MacMartin, Tick Sem

tenders aprons black mus

plus the other necessities. They
didn't steal the show from Tim

while strumming the bass fid-
die he borrowed from the or

Job|ess Pay
Extension Plan

President Kennedy an
nounced yesterday he will ask
Congress for another temper
airy extension of unemployment
compensation instead Of the
permanent program he urged
earlier in the month.
He pointed out that the
present program expires today
and said that something must
be done Immediately" to help
those whose regular benefits
will soon be exhausted.
The temporary extension
voted by Congress last year
provided Is weeks additional
unemployment payments for
those whose normal benefits
expired while they were still
out of work.
The President said is mil
lion long-term unemployed
workers would be aided by ex-
tending the present temporary
program. He also said he would
make it retroactive to those I'M
employed who exhaust their
benefits after today.
Mr.. Kennedy noted that In
a letter to Congress on March
IL, he asked early considera-
ton for legislation calling for
permanent improvements of
the Federal-State unemploye-
ment insurance system.
But he said it is becoming
apparent that the committees
in Congress before whom this
legislation is pending have such
a heavy schedule that they will
be unable to give it the con-
sideration this year that 1t de-
serves.
