THE RECREATION BUDGET

Almost 100000 were spent III the
United States last year on public recreation
This included money for public golf courses
plavo grounds and similar provision Tor oui-
door amuse1fents. In some cases the money
came as municipal funds, in others 1t repre-
scnted collaboration between public and pri-
vatc activities. In many instances it repre-
scented straight gifts from philosophical PR
vatc citizens.
A 100000 golf course was bestowed on
Salt Lake City. Lebanon, n. H., received
gilt of land worth SIS 900 for a playground.
Stockton, Calf, received land grant of 81
acres in the Sierras for 4 municipal camp
Md these are only few OF the items. so
cast and west and all the way between, the
idea of outdoor recreation gains Ill popu'
larity. Every year the sums donated to
promote it increase The recreation budget
for the nation in 1922 was 100000 NOR
than in 1921.
1t is a wholesome record 50 packed with
possibilities for health and cheer and friendly
intercourse that the nation should rejoice in
it. SO long as people offset their worries
and their less wholesome occupations with
