RECREATION

The time is gone forever when a
person can shut himself up within his
cwn four walls and disregard his
neighbors. Our neighbors need us,
and we need our neighbors. We are
living in an age when our influence
can extend out beyond our homes, in
to the community, state, the entire
country and even throughout the
world. Why not join hands then, and
bring about the things we see that
are needed in the community? Where
are your children going when they
date?
Do they go to movies, public dance
balls and road houses? What type of
movie do they see? Do the dance
balls and road houses sell intoxicants
to minors? Do you really care?
How can wider use of school and
church buildings be secured so that
the entire facilities of these plants,
including gymnasium, auditorium,
shops, recreation rooms, club rooms,
as well as Fairgrounds, can be made
available for leisure time and recre-
alton programs for both children and
adults, not only during the schools
hours but during late afternoons and
evenings, Saturdays, Sundays, and
vacation periods for all groups?
Then let US create a new social
conscience which will see that instead
of spending SO much money on de-
structive programs, such as war,
there will be demand for increased
financial support of education and
recreation.

ordinary youngser does not fully appreciate this danger
and nnocenty takes chances those of years

AS rule drownings uncommon in the ordinary
community, much that the public is apt to UNDER

angle No definite figures at hand but it is safe say
that if the average father and mother knew how many
drowned in the u s. during single they would
live in still greater dread of summers arrival each year.
Anyone who cannot swim should never venture into
water where he she is unfamiliar with the bottom which
