motion f parks and Fairgrounds. su-
pervised play. the wider use Of school
buildings sas social and recreational
centers. outdoor and indoor sports,
open forums, community buildings.
libraries. rest rooms forrstrangers and
rural visitors. information and service
bureaus, neighborhood associations,
community music, drama and pag-
eantry. citizenship, patriotic and holi-
day celebrations. and many other
forms Of off-time activities in which
