By DICK KLEINER NBA Staff Correspondent YORK XNEA) There's getting to be a lot of dough In the old do-si'do. That's because there's big shortage of good square dance callers and the ones who can do well are profiting accordingly. A take of $300 a week isn't unusual, according to Gene Gowing, who Is probably America's most Xamoufl' caller. Of course, that's only during "the 'season," but the Mason is getting longer all the time as square dancing keeps growing more popular; isn't typical of the callers.

"There, are maybe five six Kood callers in the.country," Gow- says. "Eut there thousands i of They don't know what they're ddng. They can ruin a person for square dancing fcr the rest of his life." Gowing comes from Peterborough, N.H., where they look on the Virginia Reel as a new-fangled for- tign dance.

In all his travels, he says he's heard thousand of and "tnost of them are pure charlatans." Gowing feels that square dance calling is ah aft a person must feel the Urge to call, learn ull he can learn, then work hard for ten years before he's any good. "There are three requirements for a caller," he says. "He must be able to get along with people, have a sense of humor and have Infinite patience." And then he lists some more requirements a good Voice (Gowing once studied nothing but "upward inflection" for four weeks With a Voice teacher); an ability to manage a large crowd; a sense of rhythm; and a couple of changes of clothes. "If they ask to," he says, With a sad face, "I'll, wear cowboy clothes or But I prefer to work in a business suit like this." There are three kinds of calls for square dancing.

And finally are the patter calls "In the West, some callers have gone insane with all-kinds of weird patter and chatter. They have to be translated." Gowing thinks a beginner should stick to prompting. And, as for charlatans, they should stick to Red Cross Workers Meet In McLean (Special SfewS) McLfcAft Workers f6f the 16- cffl Rfed Crbss firing met Mo'nday morning ift the FeilowShifS Mall of the McLean Methodist Church C.
