[Callers] Salute to Betsy Ross

In case you're calling on Thursday Salute to Betsy Ross Duple PROPER (because Betsy was proper) A1 Long lines ("stripes") go forward and back (8); Ones swing in the center, face down and pick up your 2s (8). A2 All go down the hall (6), Thread the Needle** (4), come back up the hall, bend to a hands across RH star (1s are below) (6) B1 Turn this star once around (8), then with NEXT Ns LH star once around 8), face original Ns on the side (ones are still below the twos) B2 Dosido this original N once around (8); just the Twos (who are above) swing in the center (8), and back out PROPER into progressed places, ready for long stripes/lines F/B. **Thread the Needle: Starts facing down. Ones are in the middle with the lady on the right. Twos are on the outside. Everyone continues to hold hands through the sequence. Man 2 makes an arch -- the "eye" of the needle -- and moves across the set toward woman 2, who leads the "thread" of hand-holding dancers through the eye. The line unfurls with everyone facing up, with the twos still on the outside, and the ones on the inside. A demo is often more helpful than a verbal description. My profound thanks to Bob Isaac, who looked at the original and said, "Needs something." He was right, as he so often is. April Blum
