And, of course, there will be (lancing.
Young
couples will come and spend the entire evening
dancing together—-as is the youthful style. It is
snid—and they will get to know eoch others step
and every mis-step and perhaps get tired of the
conversation. But, It It’s the syle, you know.
And older young people w ill come and dance,
and dance with all the people they know and laugh
a good deal and be very little inhibited the whole
evening.
Married couples will come in bunches and pretty
much stay that way all evening. ‘Some of them
will get very tired and have to go outside to get
rested now and then.
They will likely like the
music and be very happy about the entire affair.
The elders will come, also, and dance a good
deal of the time whenever a tune is not too hot
and spicy and they'll talk about dances of long
ago when there wasn’t over two fiddles in the
county and an old bass viol to make the music,
and they rode horseback fojr miles to dance and
meet their neighbors andl that new family over on
Rosebush.
And all this will be quite proper In Sherman
county and fine preparation for the Sherman
County Fair. Because Sherman county has been
and is a dancing county. Children learn to dance
in the corners of the dance halls .before they go
to school. Dances have been held in kitchens, in
front rooms, in barns, in granaries, but lately the
dancing is done in regular halls where the floor is
slick and the lights bright.
«
But is doesn’t m afe much difference to Johnny
Reitz, who is going to bring his dance band here
to make the music for the dances at Grass Valley
and Wasco during the fair. He can play for any
age. You see, he learned his music at school in
stead of picking it up Sundays. He graduated from
Lewis & Clark, took another year at the Univer
sity of Washington, went down to Southern Cal.
He was in the army three years. He plays a trum
pet and a clarinet.
He is the guy in the dark
coat and the slightly larger grin which seems to
be an occupational characteristic of dance band
players—unless with moustaches.
These fair dances are a great thing. They get
people together and give them something to do
besides jpst sit at home and wonder about how
the events and the races are going to come out
the next day. At the dance they can talk about it—
and how they love It. Besides a dance is a sort of
gala time anyway. We hold them on holidays, on
big occasions and the rise of the Saturday night
dance in popular esteem is only matched by the
rise of Saturday night.
It used to be the night
on which the whole family took a bath; now they
take a car and such other accompanying para-
phenalia as seems needed and go sofheplace and
do something. It Is a big change for folks who were
led to believe that after a Saturday night bath it
was time to go to bed.
• Oh! Yes the dance at Grass Valley w ill be held
on Friday night, September 15 and the one at
Masco on Saturday night, September 16, and if
yon attend both of them you won’t have to worry
about what you missed.
