greets Unfortunately, the women dancers in the company lacked a sense of special balance. Their choreography seemed a little bland, although they certainly looked stunning in the colorful costumes. Dramatic pieces such as "The Engagement of the Gypsy Janos and The Gypsys Bear, did not hold the excitement of the dance ensemble numbers.

Last year, he also operated the Grand Junction office, and he said he plans to reopen an office here.

Hart added he' is not for the. federal paying for campaigns but is for a proposal which would match the-tandidates smalU-contributions, He said that would put the burden on the candidate, to some money for his campaign. 4 Noting that the presidential suggestion limiting campaign contributions is a little self-seeking1 since Nixon wont be running again, Hart said: His proposal is inadequate because it doesnt solve the basic problem that we have two classes who can run (for office) those who are wealthy like Peter Dominick (the Republican who holds the office Hart is seeking) and those who are willing to take money from wealthy friends and special interests. Hart classified himself as in a third category the man of moderate means who must somehow get together enough small contributions to field a campaign.

On other questions. Hart said: Dist. bond issue. Both towns will also elect a mayor and all town trustees. Staggered election terms will be the rule in following years.

In both towns the mayor and top 'three vote getters among councilmen will get four year terms, while the other three trustees will serve only two year terms.

The Voyvodian Roumanian Folk dance company entitled "Flakara! (Flame) was rich in enthusiasm humor and theatrical flare. Male dancers stole the show with enthusiastic candor, technical clarity and acrobatic stunts. Especially enjoyable was a certain young man who had difficulty keeping his large sheepskin hat from drooping over his eyes.

In "Dances from Bessarabia and Moldavis, the company combined Roumanian and Russian heritages to present one of the most exciting numbers. The men seemed to fling themselves into the Russian acrobatics with daring and comedy. Musicians were veteran performers and carried the program with technical virtuoso on unusual instruments such as pan pipes and the cimbalom. One effective number presented a mysterious violin sound which no one seemed to be able to find until the performer eventually emerged from off stage. top issue He feels the companies developing funds against future royalties so that the problems of schools, roads and smite systems, cart.be met now when are needed.

Until we get an ad- ministration that will be fair in its implementation of wage and price controls, I think we have to get rid of them. I think theyre just an anchor around the neck of people, he said. Hart called the newest Nixon campaign reform proposals a little hypocritical.

He has done more on the one hand to invade individual privacy and to corrupt the political process than any administration in the political history from Southeast Asia. Why do we need that much? Is he anti-military or anti-war? Absolutely not, Hart told a reporter here. "I will not take a back seat to anybody in terms of the strength of the national defense which I would want us to have.
