A few years ago Mrs. McNemey, a ballet and tap dance teacher, got a little early disco fever and hustled to learn the steps before it really became a craze. "I attended a preview seminar and was happily ahead of t. ,1 rr luc uinco uicn, one Saiu. Now, the disco has moved to the roller rink.

"And I did it again, although, it took a little bit of time to learn how to do the bump on skates because I didn't know how to skate when I started," she said. Mrs. McNemey has been recruited by a central Iowa roller rink to teach the regulars how to "do it on skates." "But because I didn't know how to roller skate, as I am teaching them how to hustle, they are teaching me how to roll," she said. "Roller-skating came easy to me. I really didn't fall much.

But, I had to push to stay caught up with my students. Because to teach, you've got to be prepared to demonstrate." It's a slow road to bumping on skates. "We are concentrating on dry land first. Once you've figured it out there, then we slowly begin to work on skates," she said. "It would be a disaster to start too fast." Still, she has some bruises to show for her effort.

"There's no way to avoid it. When you're going fast every so often you fall down," Mrs. McNemey said. The roller skate-disco fever seems to be growing, she said. "It's spreading all over the place.

I think the popularity at the rinks shows where it is going," she said. "People are getting a kick out of dancing again and they want to do it all the time. And they also like to skate so why not combine the two." as installing otlicer Grace church UMW The annual May breakfast of the Grace Church United Methodist Women was held at the church on Thursday, May 4.

West Madison Street, Franklin. Prevent mosquitoes Mosquitoes can be quite a problem during the summer, especially if the weather is wet. Early spring is not too soon to eliminate breeding places of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of water or in low places where water is likely to accumulate. The eggs may hatch in less than three days or when flooding occurs.

The life cycle of the mosquito (from egg to egg laying adult) may be completed in as few as 1G days, says Ralph Williams, extension entomologist at Purdue University. Because mosquitoes need water to reproduce, control of the insect should begin with the elimination of breeding sites, Williams adds. He suggests: Flatten or dispose of tin cans, glass jars or other containers. Remove old tires that may collect water, including those used as children's swings. Tightly cover cisterns, cesspools, septic tanks, fire barrels, rain barrels and tubs where water is stored.

Fill holes in trees by filling with concrete. Empty and wash bird baths and water containers for animals weekly. Check rain gutters for standing water. Remove water from flat roofs after rainfall. Drain or fill in stagnant pools and swampy places.

Check flower pots or planters for an accumulation of water. Check fish bowls and aquariums for mosquito larvae. If mosquitoes have gained a hold on the homestead, they can be controlled. Even though they are not breeding on the site, mosquitoes can migrate from adjacent areas. In addition to keeping weeds and grass cut, apply a residual spray outside the home.

Recommended are: Mala thion-2 percent spray. Dilute 50-57 percent emulsifiable concentrate, one part to 28 parts of water of carbaryl (Sevin) -2 tablespoons of 50 percent wettable powder in one gallon of water or two pounds, 50 percent wet-table powder in 100 gallons of water. Thoroughly spray lower limbs of shade trees, shrubbery, flower beds, grass and shaded areas around buildings where mosquitoes congregate. For best results spray in the evening when mosquitoes are active (usually from 15 minutes before sunset to 1 hours after sunset). Repeat every seven-14 days as needed.

In using either carbaryl or malathion, follow all label directions carefully. Selective application is very important. Carbaryl (Sevin) sprays may injure Boston ivy and should not be used on this plant. It is also highly toxic to bees and should not be sprayed where plants are in bloom. Malathion may spot the finish of some cars, so wash accidentally exposed automobiles immediately with water plus detergents.

Mosquitoes inside the house can be killed by using any good household spray that controls flying insects. Sprays containing malathion, methoxychlor, DDVP (Vapona), or synergized pyrethrins are all effective. Use only as directed on the label. For outdoor activity, repellents are probably the best protection. Depending on the amount of perspiration, skin rubbing, temperature and abundance of mosquitoes, protection can last from one to five hours.

Repellents protect only treated areas so apply the material evenly. Little America" depicts crazy country paperbacks reviewed by Edward Gubar (Editor's note Edward Gubar is a teacher at the Columbus campus of IUPUI and has published fiction and other material in a variety of publications. This is another in a series on paperback books). Identifying road signs by their shape is a requirement here in Indiana for anyone who wants to drive a car. Understanding the significance of the shape of Rob Swigart's novel.

"Little America," a satiric view of big America, is also a requirement, especially if you want to cbmprehend the fullness of its fictionai intention. Entering the world of "Little America" is somewhat akin to being bombarded by the sounds and images of a TV set programmed by a peculiarly American madman that changes channels automatically: click adolescent sex on channel 2 click Mom and Pop non-communicating on channel 3 click drug drops on channel 4 click Junior trying to kill Pop on 5 click adulterous sex on 6 click polluting atom plants on channel 7 click Junior and another sweetie on 9 click Cadillac and groovy vans on 10 click Pop chasing skirts on 11 click Mom and apple pie on 12" click Mom and Pop's business buddy connecting on 13 click, click, click Gas and Eats signs everwhere. Back around the dial again everything's on a different channel click, click. It's not as hard-to-follow as it sounds, mainly because Swigart provides two guides right up front: first, in an epigraph that highlights Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle; second, in a prologue1 about wheels. Swigart uses some of the ideas suggested therein reality is random and constantly in flux; what we see depends upon who and where we are; intentions are rarely enacted; indeed, things connect in ways we don't intend; and coincidence is rife as the bases for the organization, or shape of his novel.

Short, snappy chapters sometimes connected bv images, sometimes by motifs or themes, sometimes even by repetitious dialogue or location, characterize "Little America." Logical, conventional plot line development doesn't suit Swigart's inten- meaningless sex, our glibness, our capacity to live out our dreams whatever the cost to our natural environment all these and more come within Swigart's ken, all are satirically documented by his pen. Little America, a heaven of neon and cars, semis and vans, gas and oil, fast eats and moldy beds represents Swigart's vision of America. Orville and his girl friend Bobalou, stretched out on the waterbed of her dazzled-up Dodge van, eating fast chicken, smoking dope, making love and watching movies, just after a hard day's gassing and lubing just after Orville has set a nuclear charge inside the trunk of Senior's latest Cadillac, represent Swigart's humorous view of the current status of the American dream Orville's numerous plans to kill Senior allow Swigart to connect the two main nuclear realities of American life -families and bombs. Both the Oedipal father-son conflict of nuclear family fame and the nuclear industry and its products are potentially destructive potentially explosive. Orville's bomb making, while barely damaging Senior and his Cadillacs does result in a nuclear catastrophe of'sorts, one that is accidental and unintentional.

Swigart may be telling us to watch out But he also telling us we can't. Although "Little America" conveys a view of America' many of us may partially share, although it often does so in ensp and interesting language, it also does so in ways that make it, in the end, almost as much of a dud as Orville's latest bomb Unfortunately "Little America," in too many instances is as glib and superficial, and as adolescently oversexed as ihl society it seeks to deride. And its often Kxvcute tonnie-in cheek tone ultimately undercuts the effect of its intended satiric barbs.

Calendar of meetings tion.

Switching, jumping, juxtaposing, introducing new characters and new lines of action coincidentally, or picking up an Incident from seven chapters back, or four, does. Such a shape helps to convey what seems to be one of Swigart's main points America is a crazy, crazy place. At the hub of this madness is one Orville Hollinday who's got two obsessions: he wants to kill his Daddy, who thinks he's a n'er-do-well runt despite his superior education (Harvard, Yale law) and he wants to own and operate a gas pump or two in the largest truck stop in America Little America, Wyo. How and why he tries for both are the main matter of the novel. On the rim, circling Orville's various insanities, are his father, known as Senior, the world's largest manufacturer of sauce (as in Hollinday's), and his sweet-talking, pie-baking, sewing and seaming Mom, Flora, who's secretly coupling with Senior's best sauce customer, the owner of Kernal Korn's, the country's largest fast food chain.

The secret ingredient of Senior's special sauce is opium wouldn't you know it and it's on every burger sold. These folks and others provide Swigart with ample targets for his barbed view of American life.
