Burnsville audiences can look forward to seeing Dr. Joy’s direction of two musi cals, Dames At Sea, July and South Pacific, August 4-7 and 11-14. Al though managing a summer stock theatre is a full time job, Joy insists on the added work of directing because he says, “Theatre is more than paying bills and doing paper work-it is the stage and the feeling of being alive and making people happy.” Making people happy is the primary goal of Dr. Joy and the Parkway Playhouse Company which is composed of thirty-two graduate and undergraduate students, six teen staff members, and an acting company of six experi enced performers.

It’s important for their self-identifica tion. Too often a child’s room is decorated to suit the parents’ tastes, the spe cialists point out. And they may choose whatever fits in with the rest of the house or what they think matches the child’s per sonality and interests. One daughter may wind up with ruffled curtains and a polka dot bedspread, even though she dislikes both. And a boy might be surrounded by paisley wallpaper, when he’d rather see pictures of cars and trucks. So let children decorate their own rooms or cor ner.

The National Endowment for the Arts is a Federal Agency advised by the National Council on the Arts. The grant was given to help further Beecher’s professional writ ing career. A glance at the reviews of his ’‘Collected Poems,” however, is ample evidence that after 50 years of writing, John Beecher’s car eer-his writing-is establish ed. He is finally getting a recognition worthy of his tremendous talent. In the words of a Chicago Tribune writer Beecher "cap tures a primal authentic rendering of the human condition...a mountain of a man crying for justice. John Beecher is an authentic American folk hero.” Buy his “Collected Poems 1924-1974” and you buy a record of American experience. The Near Perfect Machine It is a machine that runs non-stop 24 hours each day. Its beauty has been captured on canvas by cen turies of gifted artists. Its graceful structure rivals any to be found in engineering history; its mechanism sur passes even the most com plex machines of our com puterized age. What is it? The human body. likea well-run ma- CH IISIE Your body needs good care to keep going. Although most of us usuj ally take our bodies foif granted, we should instead appreciate what wonderful creations they are. For in stance, did you realize that the human body is propor tioned with almost exact' balanced symmetry? This symmetry allows a ballerina to leap gracefully,' an athlete to run fluidly, a child to stop abruptly. also gives each of us the balr ance we need for our organa to function healthfully. And when the structural intagt rity of the body is disturbs, ed, health disorders and* physical inabilities ly show up. The human body’s pro portions are often expressed' in terms of the length of the; head. Did you know: i The height of an adult is eight times thq length of the head, or eight “heads”? '" *$ The distance acros* your body, from the fingeii tips of your outstretched arms, equals your height from head to foot? The distance from your hips to your feet i* four heads? The • length of the head should equal the width of the waist? Your knees are six heads from the top of your head? The width across the shoulders is two heads? The foot equals the length of the forearm from the elbow to the wrist bone, or one head? Your waist is 3 heads down from the top of your head? The hands reach the middle of the thigh, or five heads down? Perhaps the fact that the body’B shape and form is measured in terms of the head is a clue to what is re quired to maintain structur al balance and health. Com mon sense dictates that a finely-tuned machine must be cared for if it is to func tion properly. Likewise, wisdom also tells us that a body that is allowed to get out of balance, whatever the cause, be it the result of an unusual trauma or just everyday fatigue, yvill not function its best. ■jfftr JULY i&FOURTH /x\\
