Square Dance Jamboree To Be Held In Medford For months the square dance fever has been mounting higher and higher in the valley, with everybody from six-yenr-old-Susic to Uncle Bill and grandma joining In the fun. Now adding to the excitement is the announcement that Jack Hoheisal, well known southern Califoria souare dance caller, will be here for a dance Jamboree sponsored by the YMCA square dance group. wnne tne eveni won i De unui March 25, those who will parti cipate are already making their plans. The feminine dancers are searching the shops for some thing new and colorful in the way of square dance garb, and both the men and the women are "brushing up on their dance routines. As an aid in this "brushing up business, the tentative list of dances is announced by the Y group. Listed under the squares to be danced are such intriguing titles as "Inside Arch. Outside Under." "Lady Around the Lady ' and San Antonio Rose," to say nothing of "Parle Vous" and "Missouri Hoe Down. Others programmed are Around Just One," "Forward Eight and Chain Around," "My Pretty Girl," 'Two Little Sis ters." "Sally Gooden." The squares will also Include "Hash," described as a medley of calls, and two squares to be taught by Mr. Hoheisal. Couples' dances on the pro gram will be "Black nawK Waltz," a schottische, "Cotton Eye Joe" and two to be taught bv the visiting caller. Listed under mixers is "Oh, Johnny." Dancer's tickets are said to be selling like the proverbial hot- cakes, ana several nunarea spec tator's tickets will also be on sale. The jamboree will be at the hieh school gymnasium, and Kenneth Denman is chairman The "Y" committee calls atten tion to the fact that it is not necessary for couples attending the dance to attend with a com Dlete "souare" und added that this is completely optional. Some dancers it is thought will enjoy dancing with squares with whom thev are accustomed to dance, while others will be formed of those who prefer to dance with a different group each time. of This story was told at a Red Cross meeting the other day, but it doesn't have a thing to do with the Red Cross. The ctnrv hneins with Mrs. S M. Tuttle, who about two weeks ago saw a truck stop suddenly in front of her home on vaney View drive. The driver got out and made clutching motions at smnethine n the road, intrigued, Mrs. Tuttle went out and discov roH n hrioht.colored little para keet which evaded the truck driver and finally flew up into a tree. Returning to the house Mrs. Tuttle brought back a handful of the feed which she scatters for quail and pheasant and ap proaching the tree, made sooth ing noises which she hoped would interest a parakeet. The noises, or the scattered feed, did the Irick, the bird flew down and it wasn't long before Mrs. Tuttle gathered him up in her apron. Then the good Samaritan De- nan In wonder what she was rin with a parakeet, any how. She ran over the list of her friends who might be interested in such a creature, nnd finally called Mrs. Guy W. Phetteplace. Her choice was a nappy one. Mrs. Phetteplace not only took the bird but after watching the ads for a few days and deciding that no one was seeking a lost bird, she bought him a cage and prepared to enjoy a new pet. To give this story a happy ending, we can report that Mrs. Phette place began to be sorry for the one little parakeet and went down town and bought him a mate.
