BEGIN LIVING 1T

1t pretty generally realized nowadays that more than
book rules is necessary order to establish real com
munty spirit And it is out of that realization that Com
munity Service has grown.
Social students tell us that the spirit Of their neghbor
hood vanishes in proportion the number of people gath
cred in any community increases That of course
due to the fact that community increases In numbers
contact tends become casual The neighbohood spirit
subject the limitations of the market place the counting
room the office the factory Obviously, in order to pro-
the spirit of the neghborood the neghbohood must
first be established The spirit of the neghborhood cannot
thrive when dsembodied Ours is world in which dsem-
bodied spirits cannot be rated effective agents For that
reason Community Service holds that the to establish
community life is to begin living it.
Community Service, with the background and expert
of the Playground and Recreation Association and of
War Camp Community Service, is driving home the value
organized community recreaton and insisting on the
cardinal principle that the way to establish community life
is to begin living it.
