HEX SIGNS. HEXES, BELIEFS andORIGINS of the PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH

By Carolyn Freet

If you were to ask the modem Pennsylvania Dutchman what,exactly, the hex sign on his barn was for, he'd probably say itwas "just for nice". However, the original use of the Hex wasnot "just for nice", nor is it now, in some cases.

The earliest sign was the sixteen pointed rosette, datingback to the Byzantine era, and was supposed to ward off badluck. It is still the most commonly seen. (#1)

Lucky also was "Lucky Stars" (#2), again the sixteen pointedrosette as a central theme.

The early people believed that an unfriendly neighbor could"hex" you, make you ill and even kill you. "Hex Doctors" stillpractice in this area, chanting old cures that even they maynot understand, being in German and usually learned from agrandparent. Not too many still practice, but there are thosewho will swear by them, curing everything from gout to foodpoisoning, and dispensing love potions and the like for nominalor no fees.

This interest in health and the influences of others on it,as well as .the always present fear of crop failures still prev¬alent today, are best reflected in the (#3) sign for rain,abundance, fertility, and the good will of friends. Some maysnicker a little, but a story is told that a certain farmer putthis sign on his shed because the weather had been exceedinglydry and his crop was failing. Unfortunately, it is told, hehad painted it there and couldn't take it down easily. The raincame, washed away the shed, and did $500,000. worth of damagein the surrounding area.

Now, what he should have done was to cover that sign with #4the "Morning Star" sign, meant to cause fair weather.

Superstitions die hard. The people who originated thesesigns were the same Puritan and stiff Protestant sects thatheld the Witch trials in Salem and other places, and I havelearned from a fairly reliable source that there have been hang¬ings for witchcraft, in Pennsylvania, during the last 30 years,though none since the Second World War that I can discover.

These same folk, the "Church Dutch" or "Fancy Dutch" arestill a strong stock and have their signs for that, too....(#5)symbolized by the Oak Leaf.

Hearts for love, birds for happiness and spring renewal, andodd three-leafed plants, as signs for the trinity, are common,and, I think, the most revealing of these signs is the one forhospitality and friendship, which, translated, says "Welcome".This is (#6). The five leaved plant, to ward off adultery, isthe forerunner of our modem day doors and fine panel windows.Source: The Mercer Free Library, The Pittsburg Press, and

HEX SIGNS may be any color or combination of colors as longas they are bright. Pure primaries and secondaries are used atthe artist's whim, except for numbers 5 and 6. Oak leaves aregreen and brown. Often, as here, several shades of each areused.

The "Wilkum" sign is green and a "Distelfink" bird is alwaysyellow with red wings and a blue tail.

A Fresh Idea

Have you observed that beginners don't enjoy parties......atleast at first? Sometimes a beginner may only know severaldances at a typical party. How frustrating, when you are ex¬cited about your new-found hobby! There are just too msuiydances, hundreds, and many are difficult! Folk dancing has beenaround a long time!

IVhen planning the first party to be given for our new Begin¬ners Class, sponsored by the Redwood City Recreation Depart¬ment , we thought, "Why not make a party just for new dancers?"That way new dancers from other clubs could come and have fun,too. The whole area would benefit.

That is Just what we did. Only dances recently taught areincluded in the program; difficult dances are excluded. Squaresand Contras are pitched to an elementary level and any unusualcalls are walked through. We have had four parties to date.

Results have been most exciting! New dancers are very en¬thusiastic. Experienced dancers seem to enjoy the parties also.Certainly dances do not have to be difficult to be fun. Manyfind old favorites at our parties. Perhaps this idea should betried at other locations also. Mary and Bruae Wyokoff

Meet The DeBuses

TWO HAPPY EXPONENTS OF FOLK DANCING

Are you under the impression that there is no fun in any¬thing anymore? Are you bored with life in general and dis¬couraged with trends in particular? Then come to the WestwoodCo-operative Folk Dancers any Thursday evening and watch Louisand Bemi DeBus while they dance. ANY dance is their favoritedance, and while their sometimes unorthodox and/or flamboyantstyle curdles the liver bile of some of the self-styled puriststhere is no mistaking or denying their very obvious joy intheir dancing, or the love of life they thereby express sopoignantly.

Louis is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the educationalproduct of Dartmouth and UCLA. He says that after nearly flunk¬ing out of Dartmouth and surviving World War II, he entered.UCLA. "That institution, in a shameless burst of patriotism,awarded me both a BA and a MA degree in Psychology" he explainswith a twinkle in his eyes. Louis is a "man of many parts",but brings home the bacon by toiling under the impressive titleof Director, Santa Monica Area Office of the Los Angeles CountyDepartment of Probation. Of Dutch-French ancestry, he says heis too shiftless to hold either club or Federation offices, butis often lending a helping hand when needed and/or asked to doso(or when his ever-loving, ever-enthusiastic spouse volunteershis services.)

"Bemi" began life as Elizabeth Bemis in Littleton, Colorado,explaining that her misspent youth included studies in Parisand at the University of Colorado, which she left after obtain¬ing her BA degree. Her background is English, and while herforebears did not come over on the Mayflower, they came to thiscontinent soon enough after the Pilgrims, no doubt to bringitems the Mayflower passengers forgot to bring from "Merrie OldEngland".

About 1961, Bemi finagled to get Louis to a 4th of July pic¬nic, in Santa Monica's Lincoln Park. By a strange coincidencethe Santa Monica Folk Dancers were there also, holding theirannual 4th of July dance and picnic on the Lincoln Park slab.When the DeBuses went home that evening they had been thorough¬ly bitten by the folk dance bug. The following week Louis andBemi started to learn to folk dance under the guidance of AvisTarvin, Dave Slater and several others. Six years later, if youcan believe Louis, ( and there is doubt that you should! ) theylearned to Hambo in Dave Slater's kitchen. In spite of suchtop-notch private instruction, Louis claims he still hasn'tmastered the "mysteries" (?) of Sonderh^ning.

Besides claiming to be too shiftless to hold office, Louisalso maintains he has no hobbies other than folk dancing and

14

the three De Bus offspring (one can no longer call them "child¬ren") and his wife. He says that is enough for any one man.(Well, he should know, shouldn't he?)

Bemi is not quite so loath to hold office. Although notformally an officer, she does participate in many ways in thevarious facets of folk dancing. She is on the Federation's Re¬search and Standardization Committee; is a sometime teacher inthe Westwood group; has helped Girl Scouts to attain their folkdance badges; has taught other Scout leaders how to teach folkdancing; has taught teen age, church, temple and senior citi¬zens groups; and currently is hard at work on the publicity forthe Southern Federation's participation in the summer-long folkdance events at Universal Studios. She is an inventor with sev¬eral patents to her credit. Folk dancing is her number one hob¬by, but Whale Watching runs a close second. She is a foundingmember and past president of the American Cetacean Society(thatis a whale - the cetacean, that is) and currently is the editorof the Society's monthly bulletin "The Whalewatcher". Flowerarranging and crafts are also among Bemi's many interests. Al-

sons, David and Edwin, andthey do not seem at present

though the three DeBus children,daughter, Maya, have folk danced,to pursue this activity.

When I asked the ebullient Louis and Bemi DeBus if theywould like to add anything else of interest to other folk danc¬ers for the compilation of this biography, Louis answeredrather typically: "Isn't that enough?"

It is truly a pleasure to count Louis and Bemi among myfriends and to "Meet Bemi and Louis" - - over and over again!

PRESIDENT'S PAGE

Elmer Riba (North) Avis Tarvin (South)

It is with mixed emotions that I take the reins of leadershipin our mutual hobby - - Folk Dancing. All of us bring a bit ofourselves as we serve the group as a whole and this is refresh¬ing. Instead of any feeling of competition it can be nicelydirected to growth in the movement.

There are many goals I'd consider worthy to strive for, butseveral that seem the most important to me at this time are:

Respect .... for the flag and the freedom it stands for,which cannot be taken for granted.

.... for other dancers, their ambitions, theirtime and individual capabilities.

Courtesies. . . for other dancers on the floor, especiallyat festivals. Various phases will bestressed from time to time.

... at the Assembly meetings and in work onvarious committees, with a constant effortto use constructively the knowledge of theexperienced dancer and the talents of theyounger people to whom we look for futureleadership.

Costumes ... to encourage typical folk dance wear.

It is my sincere hope that the Folk Dance movement continuesto grow not only in size but in enjoyment of a wholesome hobby.My initials EAR spell Ear, and I will endeavor to keep it tothe ground.

Elmer A. Riba, PresidentFolk Dance Federation of

Our theme will be"Meet Me At The Crossroads" with an Irish decorative idea.

RUTH BROWNS, San Francisco leader and Instructor of Israelidances for RIKUDOM, in San Francisco, has returned to Israel toteach. She left San Francisco Sunday evening, July 19.

The San Francisco Council participated in the Golden GateCentennial Parade, with council officers JIM WRIGHT, LLOYD FED-ERLEIN and LEE FIFER, marching. Clubs represented were SUMSET-TERS, GOLDEN GAITERS, WOI^EN'S RECREATIONAL ARTS, RIKUDOM, FUNCLUB, CARROUSEL and JOHNS AND JANES. Enthusiastic spectatorsapplauded whenever the group put on a brief folk dance alongthe route.

Leading the unit was a car driven by HERMAN FIFER. On top ofthe car was a centennial birthday cake with gold candles, pinkroses and orange "trim". The cake was designed and made by theFifers. The Council signs on the car were made by LLOYD FED-ERLEIN and LEE FIFER. The Council felt this was a nice way toexpress appreciation to the Recreation and Park Department forthe many years of sponsoring their festivals and the freeclasses for folk dancers.

The Blossom Festival held at Kezar was well attended, andthe exhibitions were outstanding. Lovely pastel flowers, madeby VIRGINIA HARDENBROOK, gave a touch of spring to the KezarPavilion. The Council thanks Chairman, Vice President DOUGWILSON, and the committee, for its majiy hours of work.

On a long weekend (Thursday to Tuesday) in July more than 30members of the KOPACHKA DANCERS back=packed up to Ruby Lake, onthe Eastern Sierra slope just north of Bishop. Days were spentfishing and hiking. Each evening there was singing with guitarand harmonica around a roaring camp fire. There was no dancinguntil the last night, when it was suddenly discovered that ayoung man, hiking alone, who had been invited to Join the camp-fire, was a folk dancer. It was SAM JONES, who dances withELSIE DUNIM's UCLA exhibition group. Rocks were hastily clearedand Zborerika, Dobrudcanska Reka and Kalajdzisko were danced,with singing accompaniment in the moonlight, at 11,000 feet.

AUDREY FIFIELD's Monday evening Beginner Class is a greatsuccess. Already two couples from it have Joined the STEPTO-GETHERS, PAUL and INGER STECHER and DAY and ROfflE DREXLER.

AD LIBS.....................CLAIRE TILDEN

Our Beginner Party (June) was so successfxil, we've arrangedfor another on November 7, at Almonte Hall. You're invitedlMeanwhile, learn "Salty Dog Rag" because it's an "in" dance inMarin.

Other local teachers besides me are people you should know:JIM RASELLA, JACK HILL, SANDY CLEMMER and FRED SWEGER. MARJORIESIMIC, BFD, rightly calls Marin the folk dance country.

By the end of 1970 there will have to be two New Year's Eveparties here to accommodate just our own dancers. We nativesof Marin have mighty strong feelings about hospitality and keep¬ing our image in good shape.

In Sausalito, what was once a hideous quonset, has been in¬geniously transformed into a fascinating building. The water¬front garden, corner of Princess & Bridgeway, is equally in¬triguing, lending unique charm to this bend of the road. Con¬tinue to Mill Valley and enjoy the new Catholic church at BuenaVista and Blithedale; a magnificent sculpture-like piece ofarchitecture. Be a "structure admirer' along with rock collect¬ing and bird watching.

Some fellow dancers have begged me to beg you to please (l)don't square if you don't square; (2) be content to avoid beingan arm-socket-puller if you don't know Rumanian Medley; (3) donot corral ladies in the center of a circle - when they dartout, someone gets hurt; (it) when Joining a kolo line, pleasehitch on at the left end. Many thanks,

VERA FRANTZICH, of Ukiah, is recovering from recent surgery.The JIM HAMPTONS have a May baby, Clare Louise. BONNIE FLANNERYso intense on the dance floor, is a relaxed and comely sight ona water ski.

And do you know that you are to contact me if you want to bein on the ground floor of the plans for a real luau?

In conclusion; A Beautiful Person is JIM RASELLA. He givesso much of himself in so many ways, and his creative mind isconstantly thinking up new ways to do things and new things todo. We appreciate him, and we must keep tuned to his vibra¬tions, for they are needed for growth.

The beaches are usually socked in through July and August,but still warm and swimmable through October.
