Folk dancing part of Goshen College program

“Folk dancing is a good activity for shy people,” says Mary Amstutz. She and her sister Carolyn teach a folk dancing class as part of Goshen College’s continuing education program. “It has a lot of social and aesthetic value, and it’s a lot of fun.” Balkan dances, those from the Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Turkey area, are some of Mary’s favorites. She also likes the pretty melodies and graceful movements found in Israeli dances. Mostly line dances are taught in the 10-week course, but they also include some circle and couple dances. Only five of the 25 class members are men, so there is a lot of role switching for the various dances. Mary isn’t sure why more men don’t want to learn the dances as some dances are very masculine. There is always more to learn about folk dancing. Traveling to workshops and dance festivals is a good way to learn. Mary ex-

plained that many colleges and universities have organized dance groups as do large cities. Mary was introduced to folk dancing when she visited Carolyn who was at the University of Michigan. They enjoyed the dance and learned more at workshops. Teaching the folk dancing class is not the only work that Mary does at Goshen College. She is also the assistant librarian of the Mennonite Historical Library, located on the third floor of the college library. Mary catalogs the books and also does some reference work for research. The library is part of a computer network and so the cataloging must be in computerusable form. Mary was bom in Goshen and has lived most of her life there. She enjoys reading, crosscountry skiing, canoeing, biking and playing renaissance and baroque recorder.

Madden hit nail on head

By PETE FRITCHIE John Madden hit the nail on the head in commenting on the strategy of teams behind by several touchdowns with only minutes to play. The call he criticized was for a run up the center. It’s amazing how often one sees stupid calls — even in the pro game. Buffalo was guilty of inept calls tis year. Tampa Bay pulled mental boners in more than one game. Fans paying to see the best don’t expect mental lapses when there’s a head coach and at least six assistants to devise the best tactics. This season one saw players time after time forget to run out of bounds when desperate for time, take fair catches of punts within the five-yard line when they could have let the ball go into the end zone and be brought out to the 20. etc., etc. Atlanta played less than smart football this year and last year at times. Fans don’t miss these mental lapses, either. And note that coaches at Buffalo. Atlanta and elsewhere have been relieved

Company develops land-aircraft

Sun Aerospace Corporation, Nappanee, has developed a new canard amphibious ultralight called the Sun Ray. The aircraft is unlike most contemporary fabric and tubing ultralights since it features rigid wing construction and conventional 3 axis aircraft controls. The airframe is built primarily of Kevlar, a space age material stronger and lighter than fiberglass, and the Sun Ray is available with an open or en-

of command. The smart coaches are usually the successful ones, if they have fair talent. Don Shula, Tom Landry, Bud Grant — they win consistently. Yet they don’t have the best talent every year. Os those three, one would venture to say that a Don Shula team makes fewer mental mistakes than any. Shula teams are penalized less than any other pro team, too. the records show. /n — ‘Fashion 7 Frills, lace and sleeves slightly gathered at the shoulders are a trend for spring dresses.

It happened ... in Milford

16 YEARS AGO, JAN. 31,1973 Mrs. June Hollar of Milford visited her mother. Mrs. Clara Gall, of Winona Lake Sunday afternoon and evening. Also visiting were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Umbaugh of Nappanee who is Mrs. Gall’s other daughter. Carolyn Sue Rapp and David Elliott repeated their wedding vows in a 7:30 p.m. service Saturday, Jan. 6, in the Milford Christian church. The new Mrs. Elliott is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rapp of Milford Doing more . . .

Growing your food in water

At first thought, the practice of growing plants in an inert medium (such as gravel) or in flowing water, feeding them periodically with dissolved nutrients, and then draining away the fertilizing solution to aerate the roots seems downright “unnatural”. But people all over the world find that the arrangement does have many practical advantages over “ordinary” soil cultivation techniques. Take, for instance, the fact that” hydroponics gardeners can often obtain a greater crop of tasty and nutritious foods (or of healthy ornamentals) from a small space simply because the amounts of nutrients given to a plant and the k times of application can be controlled and adjusted to meet that particular plant's specific needs. Hydroponics also can be successfully utilized on many tracts of land unsuitable for normal cultivation regardless of the native soil type. In addition — and somewhat surprisingly — the system of propagation uses less water than conventional gardens, since the runoff fluid can be recycled for several days . . . which makes it ideal for use in deserts and other water-poor regions. Furthermore, it’s obvious that the threats of soil-borne insects and diseases are reduced in a hydroponic garden .. . that weeds are easier to control. . . that the growing medium may be used time and time again without bothersome preparation . . . and that, in effect, a well-kept soilless garden requires less work than its traditional counterpart. May be best of all, these many benefits apply to all hydroponics operations from the ultrasimple flowerpot-fed-through-a-wick setup to an urban rooftop container garden to the fully automated commercial greenhouse . . . and perhaps especially to the Nutrient Flow Technique, or NFT. Based on research begun by England’s Dr. Ar J- Cooper in 1972, NFT is a system that uses a “film” of nutrient solution that flows continuously over the inside bottom of the plants’ container. The fluid is constantly recirculated, and can be used (with periodic enrichment) for several weeks. American researchers at the Long Island Horticultural Research Laboratory of Cornell University have been working with NFT since 1972 . . . and gardeners at THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS have produced crops in a hydroponics greenhouse since 1980. We agree with the Cornell researchers’ claim that the technique’s versatility is enormous! For example, unlike other forms of hydroponics, NFT can be used with or without a growing medium, and it can be set up with either horizontal or vertical growing beds ... it’s practical both indoors and out . . . and it’s economical to use and basic in design. An NFT system is a snap to assemble, too. All that you’ll need are (I) a growing bed of some sort’. . . (2) two containers (plastic wastebaskets or dishpans are perfect for this job, but avoid unlined metal containers), the first to supply the gravity-fed nutrients to the growing bed and the second to act as a receiving basin to collect the fluid after it has trickled past the roots... (3) a pump, connecting pipes or tubing, and some screw clips to be used as control valves . .. and (4) “feed” for the plants. The fertilizer solution is contained in the elevated nutrient tank, from which it travels —by way of plastic or rubber hose — to the growing bed. The rate of flow is easily controlled by a screw clip on the tubing. The liquid passes through the growing bed (which is at a minimum 2% or 3% tilt) and then drains into the receiving tank, picking up oxygen as it spills into the receptacle. The fluid completes the cycle when a pump in the lower tank —cued by the tripping of a float switch in the upper container — kicks in and sends the nutrient on its way upward. In addition, a third tank — which holds water to replace liquid losses caused by transpiration and evaporation — can be added to automate even more of the process. The replacement

Wed., February 2,1983 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Betty Elliott of 413 John St., Syracuse and Paul Elliott of Richmond. Beverly McKinney of Milford is currently student teaching at Abilene high school. She is teaching a political science class. Beverly is one of 60 students at Hardin-Simmons university in Abilene, Texas, who is student teaching in area schools. Mrs. Levi R.

liquid is introduced into the lower tank when a float valve trips. And that’s all there is to it! Basically, the NFT system is a closed loop that uses gravity to supply the fertilizer to the growing bed and a pump to raise the liquid back to its starting point. Tomato and cucumber seedlings can be grown to maturity by the NFT method in section of plastic roof gutter without any growing medium. (Or, a lattice grid of 2x4’s, with a • sheet of plastic forming channels between the boards, will support a huge crop of butternut lettuce in a sparse two inches of perlite. A space-saving, sun-seeking vertical garden can be made by ’ standing a two-inch-diameter PVC pipe on end and piercing holes along the length of the column to accommodate seedlings. Nutrients are then gravity-fed through the pipe, top to bottom. A similar space-saver is the cascade arrangement, in which slightly sloping PVC-pipe beds are positioned horizontally, one above another. Since hydroponically grown plants are solely dependent upon the “feed” that you give them for nourishment, careful attention to nutrient formulas is vital to your water garden’s success. Many good commercial mixtures are available from garden centers under the names of Hyponex. Dr. Chatelier, and Ra-Pid-Gro . . . and several mail order suppliers offer their own blends.
