Here, Soviet f a rm people met with

more than 5.000 Iowans gathered to
handclap a hearty greeting to the
unscheduled roadside stops where
Russiahs talked to the farmers i n
the field, the atmosphere vi^as alvvays
that of s m l l i n g good will.
"I|haA^en't had t h i s m u c h company
rince Christmas," laughed the petite
f a rm housewife, Mrs. Marie Hora.
The Russians h a d waiting for t h em
at the H o r a farm a fried chicken
dinner w i t h cloverleaf rolls and' three
kinds of homemade pie.
"These Russians are not so.different
f r om anyone else," s a i d M r s . H o r a , " i f
we keep meeting together, we're not
an l i k e l y to come to blovvs." •
That was the thought expressed ali
down the llne. The Iowa F a r m B u ­reau
Federation president, F,. Howard
H i l l , sald i t more specifically m terms
of increased East-West trade.
" I t Is m y hope we c a n start trading
w i t h the Russians, not juat a little,
but extensively," he declared, "trade
that is m u t u a l l y advantageous."
The Sorviet group responded warm-people

especially affected by ovenveight.
Dr. C u l l i n a n felt most people over-eat
because a good meal often helps
to ease the burden of l i f e . "Food Is
probably the most primitive sedative
of a l i ."
He. s a i d that overeating i n a d o l -
escencc should be watched carefully,
and for older people, proper diet
waa the obvioiis remedy.
ly that " i t is certainly better to trade
t h a n to f i g h t . " The delegatloo l e a d -
er. V. V . Matskevich, told a Cedar
Rapids audience, "what we want f or
your people is what we want for our
own — to toii i n peace,"
The ; visitors spent most of their
time- i n aarious study of f a rm Pro­duction,
machinery, methodi. A t each
f a rm home. they asked shatp ques-:
tions conceming the corn yields, t he
time spent i n oultivating, the system
of hog-feeding, costs and Income.
But there was also time for easy
le\{ity. John Strohm, the Iowa f a rm
editor and tour conductor who had
been i n t he U S S R i n 1946 remarked
that he saw there "aome very good
farms and some not so good."
Replied Matskevich: " S t r o hm y ou
needn"t be so t a c t f u l . We have some
farms that are lousy."
A t the beginning of one of t he
numerous banquets, a w a rm evening
and. many long speeches loomed
ahead. The, chairman aimounced
that it was permis.'^able for everyone
to remove their jackets. A t that. A l e x ­ander
Tulpnikov one of the Soviet
visitors, rose to comment: "that was
the best speech made tonight."

At Wa£iiington. Iowa. neighbors
came from miles atx>ui\d to the farm-house
where the delegation stopped.
They chatted easily on the oak-shaded
lawn.
Said farmer Edgar Stout: " T h e
more we get together, the better we'U
get along."
On an evening window-shopping
tour, the Russians stopped at the
building of the Des Moines RegiBter
to watch the newspaper prefises roll

" J o h n s o n was a great Champion. I f

stylist. He was a master defensive
boxer who d i d n ' t go i n for fancy tiptoe

was exceptionally fast. His l i g h t n i ng

down; a rare event. He got up

emblazing on Its door of h i s name i n
gold letters with the legend "World
Champion" and h i s d r i v i n g up to
hotels with a n imperious honkhig ot

meant Johnson's fight against the
racists, and i f you look back to ths
newspaper files of those days you w i ll
see he r e a l ly was a target.
Johnson answered the best way he
knew how, taking no guff and giving
i t back to the " w h i t e hope" heroes
w i t h double barrelled scom, whlch
of course, maddened them to a fever
p i t c h and put a near l y n c h atmos­phere
around the impending fight.
Jeffries went into t r a l n i n g at 35,
w i t h about 60 pounds to shed. As he
got down to h a r d . work the weight
melted and he began to look like the
Old unbeatable Jeff agaln. With t he
"white hope" hullabaloo, h i n t s about
Johnson's lack of courage and wifih-j
f u l thinking by some " b i g " sports
writers^ Jeffries went into the ring a
10-7 favorite over the Champion.
The fight was h e ld on F r i d a y,
J u l y 4th, 1910 under a b o i l i n g fcun : n
Reno, Nevada before a n »stlmated 20,-
000. Every paper i n the l a n d featured
the fight on i ts f r o n t page os fore-most
national new8. .
U n l i k e fight crowds of today. i t waj
a white audience. There were not
many, if any, Negroes l i v l n g i n the
vicinity, very few could a f f o r d to t r a -
vel to Nevada and pay the prices f or
this fight, and t he general atmos­phere
was not conducive to casual at-tendance
by Negro fans i n a n y case,
Johnson must have felt pretty much
alone. While Joe Louis i n later years
. J o h n s o n h a d held thechamplonship
three years when Jeffries was per-suaded
out of his retirement by
" W h i t e Hope" propaganda to t ry to
knock h i m off.
I n spite of much progress, i t is
hardly a Secret, least of a l i to Negro
fighters themselves, that there is s t i l l
a rough row to hoe for good fighters
w i t h dark - s k l n s . . but It was much
worse In the days of Jack Johnson.
The sport pages were full of rampant
chauvinism of a k l n d which would
never get by today. Incredibly vicious
thlngs were written about Johnson
and it was the clamor for a .white
Champion which forced Jeffries, the ! h ad ex-champs like J i m Braddock and
hope of t h e whlte supremaclsts, out of [ M a x Baer around as his fricnds wJSh-retlrement
and Into one of the most
dramatie sports events in American
nistory.
Johnson, a proud Individual with a
q u i c k wlt and burntag spirit, had to
pretty much f i g h t his own way against
this race-baltlng. He d ld so coura-geously,
flauntlng his f i s t ic prowes5
and s k i l l In t h e face of his detractors,
s m l l i n g his famous "golden smile" a nd
älways l e t t i n g i t be known that he was
the Champion o f the yorld which was
more t h a n any of those attacklng h i m .
There are stories of Johnson's " e x h i -
ing him well, Johnson «aw J im Cor
bett and beer bellied old John L, Sulli-van
hinnelf at the ringslde rootlng
rapidly against him.
Jeffries came out in his old «tyle
and right from the start Johnson, at
his magniflcent peak, made him re-gret
the declsion to come back. Movles
of this fight show the tali, standnp
Champion grinning as he tied up the
burly bollermaker'8 bull-Hkc rushes
with ease. In the 4th he opened a cut
over Jeffries' eye and by the 9th Jeff
could see out of only one eye. AU
through the fight "Qentlemnn Jim"
Corbett, whose chief claim to that ap-pellation
seemed to be that he was a
former bank clerk and wore his liah
in a careful pompadour. baited John­son
loudiy from ringside. Johnson
answered characteristically, Vhen-ever
he landed a partlcularly good
punch he would smile and call over to
Corbett "How do you like that one?"
He was no introvert, tiiis proud and
fiery ploneer. When Jeffries hit him
the one good blow he struck eli
through the fight. Johnson smtled
appraising approval and said audibly
"Not bad — try that one agaln."
In the 15th, he picked up the tempo
and sent Jeffries crashlng to the can-vas,
the first time anybody had ever
induced big Jeff to leave his feet. The
befuddled ex-champ wa8 up at nine
and two Swift uppercuts sent h im
promptly down for nine more. Up he
straggered, game and strong, and a
fearful barrage by Johnson sent n im
reeling helplessly into the ropcs. As
the count reached. seven Jeffries' se-conds
came Jumping into the rint^
Johnson had won and was still Cham­pion...'
• • / •;; . •.
It should be added here that Jeffries
in later years publicly repudiated the
"White hope" philosophy which had
been wrapped around his comeback
and held several friendly meetings
wlth Johnson, .
As for Johnson,, his undisputed
sway came to an end under disputed
circuDistances years later when Jess
Willard. a young glant, kno<^d him
out in «avana. Many, pointing to a
Picture in which Johnson'» atm might
be interpreted as shading his eyes
from the sun as he.lay prone on the
canvas. say that Jack "lay down" in
this one (some of the more authonta-tive
being young sports columnists
who were not bom when it happened).
There is no actual proof that Johnson
lay down to Willand. It is a Story we
have no proof of one way or the other,
but you will have to pardon us for
being at least su^icious of the.press
reports of those days. One thing was
sure. Johnson was up against bitter,
implacable enemies right up to the
end of liis career.

By ARTHUR MOUL»
F r om . some recent : discussions I
have had wifch dif ferent people, I
reallze there is s t i l l quite a blt of
confusion about what the C a n a d i an
square dance really Is. Here are some
of the questions.
I n what respect does it differ from
•American"? It's so monotonous in
i t s repetition of steps and movements,
lsn't the whole t h i n g a hoedown? The
Canadian dance Is not the only one
w i t h calls. Lousiana was settlcd with
French long before the Acadians. How
could one stage such a dance without
i t being boresome? .
Here are my answers. whioh may
help others to understand m o r e clearr
l y . I take the easy one flrst.
I have never suggestod that the
Acadians settled Louisiana, but they
d i d take the square dahce there when
driven out of A c a d i a ^— and thut is
how the Americans go i t there.
True, i t Is not the only dance with
calls. But I say the quadrilles, reehs,
and the l i k e , that were brought to
Canada by the early ploneers became
the Canadian square dance because
of the calls — i n two languages,
whlch fused the two i n t o one com­mon
dance.
OUT OF L I FE AND LABOil
It ,wa5 not because of language
alone, however. T h e calls a rose out
of the l i fe and work of. the people.
— and s t i l l d o — a s for.instance: " A l i
around the h a l i . E n g l i s h , Irlsh,.Scotch
and a l i " In the grand chain. T h e
callers used' everyday life making fun
at the holes and bumps i n the road,
the wagon wheels, the d ip and dlve
of the ocean wawe.
•Dance w l t h the fellow wlth a hole
i n his sock.
T h e . h e n go tlckle the roostcr the

Can i t be staged? That is really
begging the question v/hen we have
for so long staged every human
e m o t i o n . l t is, of course, not a «tage
dance, I t belongs on the tloor of a
worjcer's dance hali. On. stage it
should be a perfect portrayal of
:what It is — not a burlesque of what
i t is believed to be. I see no reason
why i t c o u l d not be ataged wlth color
and dramatic impact.
The background of Nova Scotla
and the Ilves of the people at it«
birth, the d r i v i n g out of the A c a d ­ians'

make a f i n e s c t t i n g . There is no set
costume attached to It «uch as the
beautiful costumes of the Ukraine and
Hungarian dances. But I see no
rea."ion why, for a stage, they could
not wear ca'5tumes of the period.
18 IT A IfOEDOVVN?
Is the whole thing a hocdown?
The lattcr la a mhnomer. The term
"hoedown" is really the name for
the whole evenlng.s dance whlch com-prlÄtd
waltzes, polkas. two slep.s,
Shottlsches, and .so on, If any part
of a «quare dance could be called a
hoedown i t would be t h e t h i r d fi-^ure.
To make a l i figurea ä hoedown would
be like a m a n «v/earing ali the time
— his damn loses its punch.
I l «hould be linderstood that the
square dance In composed of three
figures or changes. T h e tirzl Is the
openlng, addre^s, bows, marc^h, pro-menade,
etc,: the t i m l t i g Is to the
march or step — w l t h the c a l l to
suit.
The second changc would be a more
figuratlve and Intricate movement,
bringlng out t he grace and deport-ment
of the dancers. TChe music
should be sultable V> the calls to be
made — t h a t depcnds on t h e calls.
The thlrd figure is the w l n d up
— or hoedown. This of coiu-se should
be llvely and h l g h stepplng, the kind
of music and c a l l s that would lift
the dancers off their feet, Swing
T h em High. /
T h e main thing to remember is
t h a t ' not only are there three f l g -
ures, but there are three - factors —
music, dancers and caller — and a l i
must be in time as one u n l t to get
the best out o f a square dance, be­cause
It's a group dance — timing
is its essence. :
KEEP IT CANADIAN
iWe must not be too severe In o u r
crltlclsm of the youth wanting whoo-pee
In such dances; They pay for it
and callersgive.it to them. The
Yonkecs are not the only ones who
burlesque it, we are also gullty.
/We must remember the Canadian
square dance was and is a growth.
Our main concern is to keep its
growth Canadian,
IDoes replfcltlon make it monot
onous?
Sometimes both callcr and dancers
make it so. The same crltldsm could
be applled to almost any dance —
evep ballet, also to a great deal of
music. It also applles in .nature, the
same mating call every year. the
cihlrp of the robhi, the pirouette of
the cock bird the male pcacock*for
Instance. Wc do love making much
the same as grandad — Is It monot­onous?
Out of oli •> these things are
song, music and dances made.
SCIENTIST SAYS:
Salmon Provides Sufficient
Fluorine For Ghildren
To riuoridatc or not to fluorldate
is a hot question these days, But i f
you think your child should have
fluorine to stop teeth decaying, you
don't have to walt. Just glve h im
four ounces of canned salmon a day

get ali the fluoride he needs.
But t h a f s not ali — he'd also be
getting half the d a i l y calclum he
needs for h c a l t h y bones and teeth;
and a t h l r d of t h e phosphorous and
Iron he has to have, as well as
iödlne and copper. The mIneraLs
would b e - i n additlon to the food
value of body-bullding proteln a nd
energy-glvlng fat. both In a form
more easlly digestlble than meat.
