Main High Living Standards To Continue, Hotel Man Here Says Records Show Indications of continued high living standards for the Amer ican neoDle are borne out bv the stability of the nation's hotel business, according to Ray W. Clark, manager of the Medford hotel here.

You kind of swing it, and you kind of square dance it. I'm no Fred A s t a i r e, but when I kick up a heel I like to wheel with the best. So I asked Anne Sherman of the A lVt i, t i a v Harmao Nichols s 'hool of Da. cing to take a couple of turns with me. Anne was nicer than was nec essary. She put up with my toe stepping as we tripped the heavy fantastic at the Carlton hotel's Congo room. Ramon Ramos, an orchestra leader, put out a tune which has fat ladies from the embassies and skinny ones from the state de partment in a tizzy. Anne outlined the dance for me this way: Robbers Take $48,000 From Boston Hotel Boston, Jan. 16 (U.R) Three gunmen, their faces masked with paper bags, staged a day light holdup of the Hotel Stat ler today and escaped with about $48,000 in cash and checks.

Lady Swishei Skirts The guys hold their hands be hind their backs and the lady swishes her skirts. From here on, it's Anne's description and my reaction, "You skip on every heavy beat."

Then you lock right arms, and put the left hand on the hips. Whirl clockwise a couple of times." That sent me counter-clockwise and fouled up the demon stration for a moment. "Lock left arms and go around counter-clockwise." There we went, the wrong way again. "Then you do the raspa. To the music which sounds like rap-a-pa-rap-rap-a-oa-rap.
