Early Sunday morning in Scotland protestors serenaded workers arriving at the nuclear-armed Trident submarine base in Faslane. Later the same day in Vermont protestors serenaded police and private security at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon. Each action was the latest in decades of resistance to these nuclear installations. Each was peaceful and ended with the arrest, citation, and release of dozens of protestors.
At Faslane, Brian Larkin succeeded in melding with the workers and getting inside the submarine base, where he was arrested and charged with breach of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA), and then released.
At Vernon, about 300 people rallied on the Brattleboro Commons before trekking by bike and bus to the main gate of Vermont Yankee, which was defended by forty state troopers, a line of eight state police cruisers, and a rope with a "No Trespassing" sign.
When Brian Larking was released, he made this apparently unspontaneous comment: "the serious organized crime happens inside the base and not in these actions for peace and disarmament. It is the ongoing deployment of Trident submarines – each carrying 48 warheads, eight times more destructive that the bomb dropped on Hiroshima which killed 200,000 people – that constitutes serious organized crime and violates every principle of humanity in international law."
The Vermont Yankee demonstrators first confronted the police line with song and a giant cardboard "Trojan Cow" named Rosie who harbored a contingent of subversive, cardboard solar panels, symbolizing the need to replace nuclear power with more benign forms of energy. Each protestor committing civil disobedience than took one of the solar panels and deliberately crossed the police line, thereby committing "trespass" and inviting arrest in a well-choreographed bit of protest theatre in which the police were willing actors.
In Scotland, the naval base was locked down for about 45 minutes after another four protestors slipped onto the base disrupting normal operations and stalling traffic. This was part of a campaign called "30 Days of Action" to mark 30 years of continuous resistance to nuclear weapons by the Faslane Peace Camp. Since the campaign began June 9, supported by a Trident Ploughshares affinity group, more than thirty people have been arrested.
In Vermont, 40 troopers arrested 40 protestors without incident. An 82-year-old man and his legally-blind wife, 57, who have been fighting nuclear power since 1970, were cited and released at the plant. Police bussed the other 38 arrestees some 15 miles north to Putney, where they processed and released them, to be called into Windham County criminal court in the near future.
Those arrested protesting the nuclear-armed submarines took letters to the workers in side the base, explaining that the International Court of Justice had issued an advisory opinion in 1996, finding that the use of nuclear weapons would be illegal, and even the threat of use, through deployment, maintenance, and upgrade is a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that took effect in 1970. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/07/497611.html
The Trojan Cow escaped arrest in Vermont and will appear today in a Fourth of July parade in Brattleboro. Made of cardboard, newspaper, and latex paint over a wooden frame of 2x4s, the black and white Holstein is eight feet tall and 14 feet long, mounted on a trailer that takes four people to maneuver. Made in her free time over three weekends by Dutch artist Ria Blaas who lives in Norwich, the cow has been promised a long and active life at political demonstrations.
The SAGE Alliance that organized the Vermont Yankee protest has scheduled its next protest for August 18, when they plan to launch a flotilla of small boats on the Connecticut River, to highlight how the nuclear plant is warming the water and leaking radioactive Tritium.
It is expected that Rosie the Trojan Cow will be spared exposure to either the water or the radiation.
We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

Welcome to Pennsylvania Furries!Submitted by Giza (Douglas Muth) on Tue, 2005-11-08 01:53
Welcome to the Pennsylvania Furries website! This website hosts forums, blogs, an event calendar, polls and more for furries (and furry-friendly people) that are in Pennsylvania and nearby areas.
Furries that are thinking of moving to or visiting Pennsylvania are also welcome to participate.
Introduction of Lemursocks to you guys. hello!Submitted by lemursocks (Sage) on Wed, 2015-07-29 22:29
Hello guys!
I'm new here and decided I should post an introduction thread. (i'm just going to go through the questions listed on the stickied post because they are good ones!)
- Do you work or go to school?
I am currently an artist, who is also hoping to go back to school get a masters (or a second degree, depeding on where I go) in illustration or game art (concept art- entertainment design, animation, storyboarding) that type of stuff. Until then (hopefully this fall or spring) I'll be doing temp jobs and a myriad of shows to pay the bills. so that's what I do for money.
What is furry?Submitted by Steve The Unicorn (Xanthos) on Wed, 2015-07-29 02:50
Oh, that dreaded question… What to say? I keep it simple. No one knows what anthropomorphic means. No one wants to hear recursive blathering from some geek about a weird thing. My 'public' or 'general' response to anyone is: "Furry is anything involving humans with animal characteristics, or animals with human characteristics." Simple, done, no confusion, and my answer naturally invites easy follow up questions.
Also, my answer may change depending on who is asking the question (knowing your audience). I know a guy named Bob. One day Bob asked me, what is furby? I replied, "Bob it's a secret. Furries drink beer and play games and dress up like animals." Bob was satisfied with that answer; and now Bob is cool with furries because of how I answered him.
Hello to the forumsSubmitted by Fen (Fen_R) on Tue, 2015-07-28 20:12
Hello everybody my name is Fen, and I am not new to the furry fandom. I have been in the fandom for about 10 years, but never really been active in the community since it was never real large around me. I had gone to AC '07 and '08, also been to WPAFW '06, '07, and '08. I do have a partial suit and went under the name Dukat at that time (black bear w/ green hair on top of my head). I have always enjoyed the fandom and found some amazing people all over. I am hoping to find some new people to talk to here online and make new friends.

The event will take place at the Consol Arena on Oct 4th, try to arrive an hour ahead so you miss the road closures and get parking. (FREE on site)
I have obtained permission to wear the suit if I feel up to taking on the full challenge of the 6.6k. Otherwise I will run it without. You are welcome to bring any level of suit you feel comfortable in, please be advised of the health concerns and bring a camel pack. Yes, there are other people there including a fireman in his full gear who runs it.
FursonaSubmitted by Elexsin (Elexsin) on Mon, 2015-07-27 23:41
Is it possible to have multiple fursonas or make multiple furry characters but not stick to one? I love all animals equally so it's really hard for me to just pick one as my identity. What are others thoughts on this?

This temporary place we're in right now isn't working out as well as we would like, so we need to find something rather quickly.
EDIT: This is for me and my mother to move into to clafify; since we both take the bus to get to work, we can only move out but so far.

I'm Hciwnis, a wolf with red eyes and black markings on gray body. I have been a furry since I was fifteen. I find out about the fandom, because people in high school were talking about it, so I looked it up. From that point been a furry, because I liked the group of people. I am a college student currently, studying to be a video game artist. I work at a grocery store (Shoprite) as a lever, as for other hobbies or interests. I free-run, ride my bike to work and play video games. I love to go on adventures seeing new things is awesome. I would love to fursuit, but money.

Pittsburgh Furry Mini-Golf Meet [Reminder]Submitted by Swift Fox (Swift Fox) on Mon, 2015-07-20 09:53
Hello friends!
Just a quick reminder, as the event is a little less than three weeks away, I'm once again setting up and hosting a Mini-Golf Meet at Kneiss' Mini-Golf off Babcock Blvd, just passed the McKnight Road overpass in Ross Township, outside of Pittsburgh. The meet is scheduled for Thursday night, August 6, from 7pm until 9-ish.
After we've played a round of golf we usually go grab a cool treat at the Dairy Queen just down the road, or some folks drive down to the new Sheetz for more substantial foodage.
I posted more information about the event on the PA Furry Forum's Calendar http://www.pa-furry.org/node/10461/pittsburgh-furry-mini-golf-meet The meet is Fursuit and Ears and Tails friendly. It's outdoors, mostly in the shade, and will be open to the general public as well. The event is weather dependant.

Hello!Submitted by Zee Wolf (Zee Wolf) on Sun, 2015-07-19 19:24
Hi guys! My name's Zee Wolf and I'm currently living in Maryland right near DC, but in about 5 weeks I'm going to be moving to Pittsburgh for school. I've been "furry" all my life but only joined the fandom about 4 years ago when I realized that furries weren't the weirdos that others often make us out to be and that I might actually be a good fit in this fandom.
I've been attending Anthrocon since 2012 and just recently came home from AC2015, but this AC was different than all the others for me. I was a lot more social and make lasting connections with other furries, which was awesome because my goal for 2015 was to make more friends in the fandom. I also debuted my first fursuit, whose picture you can see in my avatar.
Once I move to Pittsburgh, I'm planning on coming to a bunch of furmeets hosted by this group so that I can get to know more furs! I look forward to meeting all of you!

Up to College I go!Submitted by KoolKatDom (Trexler) on Sun, 2015-07-19 09:50
Oh no... I knew this day would come!
After a frantic evening of last minute accoutrements packing, checking and double-checking and surveying and repacking, I finally head up to Ursinus College today. It's just a three week excursion, but I might as well let you guys up there know that I'll be in the Collegeville area (Philly is 20 minutes away).
I'm not "worried" about the trip, as I've spent time abroad alone (India was amazing, I may tell people about it). This is more of an informative blurb and a way for me to let people know where to find me! August 1st I'll be up in NY, not sure what part of it yet, for a school sponsored day trip. When I have more details I'll try to either update this post or make a new one specifically for that.
Thanks for reading! Don't be afraid to reply if you're a Philly/Collegeville fur!

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: News
I've had this clenched feeling in my stomach for the last three weeks, something between a burn and gnawing hunger. Today, when the four white police officers, all members of New York's Street Crime Unit, were acquitted of all charges in the February 1999 murder of 22-year-old unarmed immigrant Amadou Diallo — whose crime was having the temerity to leave his house and go get something to eat — I realized what the feeling was. It was the same old same old African-American clench of apprehension in America, same day, different corpse, and the beating goes on.
I wish I could say that I'm surprised by the verdict, but I'm not. The history of abuse and brutalization of black people by police and other law enforcement authorities is as old as the United States, and includes lynchings, beatings, burnings and shootings. What I am is $10 richer. I bet my mother they'd walk completely, and she bet they'd be convicted of the least possible charge and get probation. Good old Mom. At 81 she's still clinging to a shred of optimism and popping Tums to ease that clenched feeling.
Me, I'm 10 bucks richer and eons more cynical, having sat in this very seat in Harlem for more than 20 years and heard the same verdict in the police killings of Clifford Glover, Randolph Evans, Eleanor Bumpurs, Michael Stewart, Ricky Lewis and Kenny Gamble, LaTanya Haggarty, the list goes on and spreads across America.
And you know, I used to cry, rant, rave, get fucked up to try and ease the pain. But besides scarfing down a few candy bars, I'm cool, or constantly hot, so it seems normal. I've gotten used to dealing with the everyday indignity of being either invisible or threatening, feeling that twinge when I see the police or that clenching when the men I love are late; slowing down when I see the cops hassling kids on the street, just waiting for the next Amadou Diallo or Kevin Cedeno or Anthony Baez or … fill in the blanks.
Just in case you thought it just "seemed" like police have an eternal open season on black males, it's time to drop the "seem" and dig the bottom line. Amadou Diallo was in the vestibule of the building where he lived and was shot at 41 times by four cops. His crime? He was there, black, and male. Around these parts, that adds up to suspicious behavior and apparently, according to today's verdict, reasonable cause to kill. And if you found yourself swayed by the defense line that the whole thing was both justified and a tragic mistake — he didn't respond when the cops talked to him; he reached into his jacket pocket; the wallet he pulled out looked like the barrel of a gun — just close your eyes and imagine that the figure in that vestibule in the Bronx was white. Then try to imagine the same outcome.
Neither can I.
No doubt some were moved to sympathy when the officers testified and cried on the stand. Sadly, people of my race — we of the clenched stomachs — are prone to believe those cops' tears weren't remorse, but apprehension at the thought of what would happen to them if the system really messed up and they went to jail. The most frightening thing is I don't have any problem imagining officers Boss, Murphy, McMellon and Carroll strapped down and back on those mean streets, 9 millimeters polished to a burnished gleam and appropriately notched, dicks swinging with a new authority, committed to making the world safer from their own nightmares, sanctioned by the so-called justice system to enforce the law — with apologies to Malcolm — by any means necessary.
Saturday at 6 p.m. there will be a demonstration on 59th Street and Fifth Avenue and I will go, not hopefully, but to bear witness to my outrage, disgust and sadness, to gather strength where I may, surrounded by others who feel abused as I do. There will likely be many people there, for as many different reasons, and perhaps what we will share is our anger and a painful hunger for equal justice, even though most of us have no idea, find it difficult to imagine, exactly how that would work. But I'm speculating. What I know for sure is that many of us will share that clenched feeling in our gut — one that apparently will never go away.

I saw it in your article on newscaster Paul Harvey (Jan. 22) and fumed. Now, a few months later, there it is again in your story on Susan Kohner and John Weitz: Two families that have millions cutting their hair at home. It doesn't make my heart glow to think I paid $2,000 to go to barber school.

Conway Twitty
As well as being down-to-earth and "very old-fashioned," Conway Twitty is also generous and civic-minded. Every summer he puts together a softball team and participates in a game for charity against fellow C&W artist Barbara Mandrell's team. Thanks for a candid look at a well-liked and respected star.

It gives me a great feeling to know the Navajo tribe is run by a person who refuses to be pushed around by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Our "chieftain," Peter MacDonald, is making them realize we are not the dumb Indians they thought we were. They cheat us by giving us wasteland; now they want it back because it's rich in fuel.

Mugger Bears
I was delighted to see that the Park Service at Glacier realizes this tragic situation is a people, not a bear, problem. Their enlightened approach to solving it by considering the bears' best interests as well as what is good for humans is to be commended.

With all the stupid, animal-harassing people that Glacier and Yellowstone attract, it's only fair that the bears get some revenge. Quit packing off the rogue bears and let the fool tourists take their chances.

Knicks's J.R. Smith fined $25,000 for tweeting picture of woman
Mar 10, 2012, 7:53 PM EDT
J.R Smith can get in trouble anywhere, not just China.
Thursday J.R. Smith tweeted a picture of a scantily clad woman — model Tahiry Jose in a thong, with Smith commenting on the view of her backside — from his hotel room in Milwaukee. He took it down not long after, but that's just not now the Internet works — once it's out there it is out there and this photo and discussion showed up everywhere including Deadspin. Controversy ensued.
Saturday, the NBA VP Stu Jackson announced the league fined Smith $25,000 for posting "inappropriate pictures" on his twitter account.
Friday night Smith admitted posting the photo was not his smartest move ever.
"I didn't know it was going to be as big deal as it is now," Smith said after the Knicks' loss at Milwaukee on Friday. "I definitely regret it. It takes away from our team. Anytime I do anything that takes away from our team, I'm definitely going to regret it."
Now it's also taking away from his wallet.
Smith signed to play in China during the lockout but incurred an estimated $1 million in fines with his team there (he made $3 million). Upon his return he signed with the Knicks, and while the transition has not been perfect he's a long way from reaching the same level of fines he did in China. But this is a start.

burrrrrrrrnn….. well on to the article glad to see smith focused on the playoff run while the picture was very nice wat did he think it will lead to he works for the NBA im sure they have a moral code etc etc if they want you to wear a suit on the sidelines and not any ole thing….. bad move i am linsapointed

How did he rack up a million bucks in fines: must've brought that arrogant New Yawk a-hole attitude with him to China.

With the way the Knicks are sliding back into the muddled failure that we all know and love them for, maybe taking attention away from the team is a good thing.

Chicken and rolls were very flavorful. Salad bar is quite good just on its own.
This place used to be good. It's nothing but a deep fried everything place where the food is fried to a crisp and stale. The view is the best thing about this place.the food is not. Disappointing
Good food and great atmosphere. Love watching the boats on the lake white eating dinner.
If you like all of your seafood fried, you've hit the jackpot. Also the slaw was more a study in minimalism than real Southern slaw. Save your money and go somewhere else.
Try the bobbers !!!
Great place to eat love the renovations
Great food and service! Beautiful view. Renovation is gorgeous! Desserts are awesome! A hidden gem - try to get a table overlooking the water
Way over priced.. Food is very bland. Not coming back unless on the boat and hungry.
This place is definitely a hidden treasure. Great food and an amazing view of the river.

Great service. We have used garden grocer 3 times during trips to Disney and will use again. Very handy to have groceries (and alcohol) delivered to the hotel. Ordering a case of water is certainly better than paying $2.50 per water bottle at the park.
This was the second time we used this service at a Disney hotel. There were some bananas missing from our order. I contacted the company and the missing items were sent promptly in the next day's shipment to the hotel. I was initially worried that this may present a hassle and was very relieved to see it did not. I highly recommend this company. Especially useful if you are travelling with young children who require diapers, baby food, etc.
Absolutely flawless, from the ordering process to the delivery....it was so easy and it has saved us a lot of time and money.

In 2014, Russia plans to submit an application for extension of the boundaries of the continental Arctic Shelf to the special UN Commission after modifying and reinforcing the application by the results of additional research, reports 'Arctic info'.
Citing remarks by Denis Khramov, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of Russia, 'Arctic info' says that Russia had already applied for extension of the territories in the Barents, Bering and Okhotsk seas, as well as in the Central Arctic Ocean. The Commission generally recognized the application as meeting the requirements but requested the Russian Federation to provide an additional proof that the ranges of Lomonosov and Mendeleev, going beyond the boundaries of our official continental shelf, belong to the Mainland.
The minister added that Russia had signed a special Convention on the law of the sea, under which the establishment of the outer boundary of the continental shelf of any state is the main guarantee of securing the rights of the country's natural resources situated within the continental shelf. After the adoption of the Convention, Russia was the first to submit its application for establishment of the outer boundary on the outside of the standard 200 nautical miles.

1. UT History The Dancing and Dress Dilemma RACHEL RAWLE 12-11-13
1 Dancing and Dress Parties, music, glamour, alcohol. All of these aspects are characteristic of the 1920s in America. Change happened all around. People were moving to the city and making more money, women started gaining prominence in society, fashions, especially for women, also changed dramatically and professional dancers invented new, crazy dance styles.While this is how the 1920s are characterized, we must consider if this was really the norm or not. A great place to look for an answer to this question is the West, specifically Utah. Utah was an extremely conservative state because large portions of its population were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. The members of the church have unique and specific guidelines on behaviors and clothing. Because of this, it begs consideration of how the Mormons responded to the evolving cultural elements such as dance and dress in the 1920s.Research shows that the Mormons typically condoned the changing styles of dance and dress because they involved extremes in movements and fit, however, the church realized that men will be men and want to participate in them, so the church lovingly integrated compromises into society to help protect its members from the influences of Satan. Americans have always loved to dance and the Mormon people were no exception. Dancing was part of their culture from the very beginning. In fact, historians claim that dancing was extremely important in Utah because it was the most common amusement that people participated in (Holbrook, 11). The Mormons considered not only to be a fun, leisurely activity, but an activity that could promote health as well (Holbrook, 6). Because of this dual purpose, leaders in the church endorsed dancing. Brigham Young, a prophet of thechurch, was one of those promoters. While he was sometimes uneasy about dancing, on the whole he believed that "there [was] no harm in dancing. The Lord said he wanted his saints to praise him in all things"
2 (Bitton, 18). Dancing seemed like a perfectly legitimate way to praise the Lord. Because of this endorsement by church leaders, dances became a regular event. They were typically held on Saturday afternoons in the church buildings, beginning and ending with a prayer (Mormonism, 150). These customs continue on today. This consistency shows that Mormons do, and always have, loved dancing.They recognized that it was a healthy, praiseworthy activity that helped to enliven the saints. When one is happy and healthy, he or she has much more control over their body and it becomes a lot easier to resist the temptations of Satan. This was seen as a definite plus for the Mormons. Although many Mormons loved and supported dancing, there was a group that opposed the activity. The opposition was concerned with affects that dances had on the people, especially the youth. These concerns formed very early on. In 1843 President Spencer W. Kimball, another prophet of the Church, voiced his fears about the "follies of the youth and their too frequent attendance at balls." These actions not only drew the mind away from innocent amusements, but it led to other evil practices as well. For these reasons, President Kimball strongly opposed dances that went to the extreme in movements, closeness, and other actions. Unfortunately this was a usual occurrence (Holbrook, 5). Other people also saw the negative effects of dances. They saw that dances could occasionally lead people into bad company. These bad influences caused the people to stay up into the wee hours of the morning. Doing this weakened their bodily systems and led them to participate in reckless, uncontrolled actions (Holbrook, 5). The opposition realized that when people are participating in these activities, they are much more susceptible to the enticements of Satan. If dancing had even the slightest chance of corrupting the soul, then it should not be carried out.
3 A perfect example of dances that some people did not support was round dancing. These were dances that required close embraces between couples, rather than the original group dances. Dances like the waltz and the polka were particularly looked down upon (Mormonism, 151). The introduction of these dances led to a Church-wide disapproval of round dancing. In order for all of the members of the Church to truly grasp the antagonistic feelings towards these dances, the First Presidency sent out an official statement declaring that dances that required close embraces and suggestive movements should be avoided (Bitton, 17). Objection toward these dances migrated into the newspapers. The prominent Women's Exponent proclaimed their abhorrence with vehemence. They asserted that round dances had originated in brothel houses and they needed to stay there (Bitton, 19). The editors recognized the evil impacts of Satan in these dances. The First Presidency and the newspapers were not the only ones to pronounce their dislike for round dancing. Other prominent people like George Q. Cannon, a member of the Twelve Apostles, voiced his opinion as well. He stated that round dancing was not a healthy activity and he believed that it was improper for servants of God to participate in them (Bitton, 19). As these examples show, views about round dancing were extremely looked down upon. This was hard view though, because Mormons always enjoyed dancing. Dancing in a wholesome manner was an excellent activity to participate in because it happiness and health. As the dances got more risqué however, the Mormons became more and more adamant against them. Even if people claimed that they were trying out these dances because they were new, not because of their enticing sexuality and immorality, the majority opinion distrusted those ideas and wereagainst the dances (Wesson, 47).They saw that round dances had the potential to distract and confuse the minds of the saints.
4 Although the Mormons did not like round dances because of their effects on people, the Church realized that the saints were still going to participate in them so their disapproval eased up a bit. A little hesitation still remained however. The older generation was worried about the sanctity of the youth, so as an extra precaution, they had people at dances that would walk around making sure they could "see daylight" in-between each couple. This showed the strains between religion and popular culture that the saints had (Bitton, 17). The Mormons wanted to accept the new cultural changes, but due to their conservative nature and their concern for the welfare of the saints, special actions and adaptations had to be made. This pattern continued into the radical time of the 1920s. Because the 1920s style of dancing was a lot higher paced and energetic compared to the calm waltz of previous years, the pattern of disapproval and eventual approval began again. The Foxtrot, the Charleston, the Tango and the Shimmie are examples of the types of jazz dances that were becoming popular. Because of the nature of these dances, it is clear to see why at first, Mormons rejected and resisted these dances. In fact, Elder Stephen L. Richards, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said of the Shimmie, that it "was one of the most fearful things ever introduced." He concluded by saying that "the problems of dancing were never quite so great" (Between Revivalism, 31). Because of these views, when the youth tried to participate in these new styles, they were reprimanded and told that they were not allowed (Mormonism, 151). These types of dances did not create the kind of atmosphere that the Church typically wanted at social activities. The Church preferred to have a wholesome environment where the spirit abided. In fact, in 1920 while these new dances were spreading like a wild fire, David O. McKay, a prominent Church leader, stated that the "atmosphere of the dance should be such that if any elder be called from the party to go administer to a sick person, he could leave with the same
5 spirit that he would go from his elder's quorum meeting" (Oliphant, 103). Having a clean, moral atmosphere during activities like dancing, was something the Mormons had always valued because it helped to protect the mind from the temptations of Satan. They did not feel however, that these new dances did this, so they tried their hardest to resist them. However, new techniques are hard for people to fight against, sostruggles against the new styles did not last for very long. Soon the Mormons gave into the natural man and began to participate in thenew dancing fads. At first, the Church's position was common sense and moderation when taking part in dances (Bitton, 25). However, historian Gary Kunz commented that the Mormons in the 1920s engaged in Jazz music just as much as any of the large cities that were fully participating in the new Jazz culture (67). He commented that Provo had jazz music playing at local halls which were filled with drunk, closely-dancing couples (Kunz, 67). The worst part of this whole phenomenon was that the youth shared in these practices. At parties, girls as young as 14 or 15 would dance cheek to cheek with the boys and would often stop to kiss them and hold them in close embraces (Kunz, 69). Because the actions at dances were getting so extreme, the compliance of the 1920s dances lessened day by day. Adults began sending in complaint letters about the inappropriateness of the dances. Some even went so far as to claim that the dances should be prohibited (Kunz, 69). Since the Church wanted its members to be in the world not of it, measures were soon taken. Different steps were taken to start curbing the lack of discipline in the youth. The older generation, as well as the Church, wanted to protect their young from the world of changing values and morals. In 1916 Church representatives came together to discuss a plan of action. They decided to form a program that required strict chaperoning of young girls at dances and
6 other parties to make sure they were not dressing in the new, extreme fashions or taking part in the excessive dance styles (Between Revivalism, 25). Other actions were also implemented. Various boards were set up to make standards and rules for all of the social activities (Wesson, 51). Some stakes hired dance teachers and different wards also published a pamphlet on proper dance techniques (Between Revivalism, 26).Taking these kinds of steps not only helped to control the types of dances that occurred, but they also showed the youth the seriousness of the Church in watching over them and looking out for their welfare. These various efforts taken by the Church exemplify the attitudes of Mormons during the 1920s on the changing cultural aspects. They wanted their members to be able to take part in the enjoyments of the world, but under certain conditions. The high values that the Mormons had needed to be upheld in all aspects. In doing so, individuals are in more control of their body thus allowing them to more successfully resist the negative influences of the devil. So, while Mormons loved dancing, with the styles becoming extreme, they had to take precautions to make sure their morals were maintained.Overall, the Mormons did not like or accept the new forms of dancing. But in order to curb the natural man, the Church lovingly created guidelines through programs and proceduresto help direct the saints through this time of change. Dancing styles were not the only cultural element that shifted to the extreme end during the 1920s, fashion also evolved. During the first part of the settlement in Utah, Mormons wore the trends of the time. This was due to the fact that they had just come to Utah and they were not fully able to manufacture their own clothes quite yet. Thus, clothing was imported into Utah (Clayton, 93). Because the clothes were from outside sources, they were more likely to be the modern fashions rather than clothes tailored to Mormon standards. Due to this fact, around 1856 the Church leaders felt like there needed to be a cleansing of the society because the members
7 were getting too involved in the worldly pleasures. These pleasures were distracting the saints from the more important ideals that the Church upheld. These concerns started the Mormon Reformation. During this time the saints were encouraged to start becoming self-sufficient in all things, including making their own clothes. Because of this, it was a lot more difficult to make the latest fashions (Clayton, 267). This resulted in the saints wearing simplified versions of them. Although this was the case for the majority, many people, including the wealthy, still continued to wear the modern styles (Clayton, 118). This resistance to the principles taught during the Reformation demonstrated to the Church leaders that the saints needed even more loving direction in order to protect them from the ideas of the world. Around the 1870s Brigham Young organized a retrenchment society for the women. This institution encouraged women to create their own fashions. The Church wanted to be rid of "Babylon's" fashions and the negative effects they had on the members, so the leaders took efforts to make this happen (Clayton, 268). Relief Society women took this job seriously and began raising silk worms so that they could produce their own fine clothing (Clayton, 188). These actions had the potential to be effective. Making their own clothes would likely lead to less participation in worldly fashions. However, the Mormonsare not perfect, so even after all of the attempts by the Church to get rid of "Babylon's" fashions, members were still enticed with these fashions, so,their clothes ended up being simplified versions of them. The simplicity of the Mormon fashions was challenged when the 1920s came along and the styles started becoming extreme. The 1920s was the era when women started gaining more freedom. This newfound freedom expressed itself in dress. The scandalously clad flapper appeared. These fashions were dramatically different from what previous eras had claimed were acceptable for women to wear. Dresses were not tight and voluminous anymore, they hung
8 straight from the shoulder and free from the body. The arms were bare and as the years progressed, the hemlines got higher and higher. Women also preferred to seem "boyish" so they would wear a flatting bra. Although this was the case, it was crucial to keep the feminine touch by wearing gaudy jewelry (Jailer-Chamberlain). These newly formed fashions epitomized just what the Mormons had been trying to avoid. The extremes of the new flapper fashion were going to start distracting the minds of the saints and make them more susceptible to the influences of Satan. Because of this, the Church's view towards the styles was less than positive. The Church openly voiced its opinion to the members about being cautious with the new fashions. With the radical flapper as the example for the new women's fashion, people could easily start forgetting their morals, thus becoming vulnerable to the enticements of the devil. Because of this, extra care was taken to help guide Mormon women in their clothing choices. Leaders strongly encouraged and emphasized that the women wear plain dresses. Plainness and modesty were traditionally associated with public virtue, so in order to maintain a virtuous society, the women needed to continue exemplifying those characteristics (Mormonism, 152). How to have a virtuous society is taught in school, so if the teachers and students are not dressing in a way to promote public virtue, then the lessons in school are all for naught. This is why modesty and plainness in clothing was necessary for teachers and students to adhere to. Joseph F. Smith spoke very strongly about women dressing in high fashion when teaching children (Mormonism, 151). Likewise, the students were not only pushed to wear plain dresses in school, but in school activities as well. An excerpt was posted in the Utah Daily Chronicle which discussed prom clothing. It states that it is very easy, with the extreme fashions of the time, to wear the wrong thing which "robs them of their modesty." It continues that the people that wear the fads do not really realize what image they are giving off. "Evening gowns that expose
9 thearms and shoulders too extensivelyare not becoming, not artistic andmost certainly not modest. A girlwho loses the least part of her modesty has lost part of her greatest charm" (1919).The Church truly condemned the new styles and the immodesty that they created because they taught all the wrong morals. Men and women alike despised these new fashions. One of Brigham Young's daughters, Susa Young Gates printed a brief poem in the Improvement Era that clearly stated her thoughts on the latest styles. She wrote, "Be the parcel, not the wrapper; be a woman, not a flapper" (1929). Clearly, she could see through the facade of the flapper style. She encouraged the women of the Church to have more substance to them than just clothes. Dressing modestly, unlike a flapper, would help the women to become better, smarter and more well-rounded, rather than just being a beautifully dressed girl that knows nothing. All Mormons recognized the unfavorable aspects about the new styles. They saw that this style of dress, or rather undress, was shamelessly exhibiting the human form (Bitton, 17). Mormons recognize that the body is a temple, so displaying it for the world to see is a sacrilege. The women were strongly encouraged to cover their "temples" and wear modest clothing. That being said, Mormons were still human, so participating in the latest fashion was bound to happen. Sure enough, the Mormons did end up somewhat giving in. Pictures taken of women in the 1920s showed that a lot oftheir dresses were fairly similar to the new styles, but with a few adjustments for modesty's sake. The dresses typically went about to the knee. The sleeves were either long or elbow length. They were a looser fit and had a dropped waistline. There was a variety of colors, but perhaps not quite as vibrant as the flapper dresses. These types of styles were commonly promoted in the newspapers. The Utah Daily Chronicle was constantly advertising for Siegel Clothing Co.This store had "the newest models of fabrics and colors" and
10 "everything that fashion favors" (1919).The Manti Messengeralso took part in this promotion. In 1925 it displayed an article that discussed the success of the new tunic blouses. It declared that, "When the tunic-blouse arrived it made an immediate success for two very good reasons, first because it is a becoming garment and next because it simplifies the problem of a varied wardrobe" (3).This newspaper was trying to show some of the benefits of the new fashions. These were modest dresses that made women look lovely while also adding variety to their wardrobes. The various newspaper advertisements helped to encourage the participation of the saints in the new fashions. Although the new fashions were looked down upon, the Mormons continued their pattern of taking part in the styles but in a simplified, modest way. Most Mormons were not just going to throw their values out the window and start wearing extreme fashions like the flapper style. They had high standards and those were going to be met by every good saint. The Church recognized that participating in the fashions might leave members more vulnerable to the influences of Satan because those extreme fashions would distract the mind from more virtuous thoughts. That being said, the Church also realized that man would be man, so they sympathetically made compromises. Women, especially, were allowed to wear the new fashions but with the conditions of modesty. All in all, the Mormons despised the extreme fashions because of the position of vulnerability it left the saints in, but accepted them as long as the standards were kept. "Let not the brilliant prospects of a glorious millennium be clouded with such shadows as are threatened by customs and costumes and diversions of these licentious days" (Bitton, 17). This quote truly epitomizes the stance of the Church on the changing cultural aspects of dance and dress in the 1920s. The Church did not like the changes because they did not uphold the standards and morals that the Church encourages. The new styles of dance and dress were full of
11 extremes. Extremes are never a good thing. However, there is always a way around them. Rules and regulations are methods of compromise. This is exactly what the Mormons did. They realized that everyone is human and will long for the new styles.In order to prevent a complete uprising from the members the Church allowed for participation in the new styles, but only following the rules set in place. The clothes had to be modest and the dances had to be approved by special boards. So although places in Utah, like Provo, had the same behaviors that characterized other places in the nation, through rules and regulations, the Utah Mormons were able to keep their uniqueness.
