their own back yards. Few yards
are large enough for basketball

Nom and Dad should not be
forgotten when planning for
home play. Flower, herb or small
vegetable gardens are frequently
possible. These need not be large
and can be located in such a
way to add beauty to the home.
Proper planning Of the play and
garden areas will enable the
whole family to enjoy their back
yard both as a utilitarian play
area and as a beauty spot.
Court Games for All
There is no reason, either, why
Nom and Dad can't join in the
fun with their children. There
are many games which the whole
family can enjoy together.
Croquet is still an interesting
game and can be adapted to the
size area available and the skill
of the players.

chased quite reasonably and pro-

court is ample when there are
only two or three players on a

to the height of the players. If
a net is not available a rope

center of the playing area.

Superintendent Of Recreation
For the District of Columbia

For the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Americans today have more
hours for leisure than ever be-
fore. Dad has a 40-hour week
now rather than the 48 or more
of not too many years ago. La
bor-saving devices in the home
give Nom more time for recrea-
tional activities. and brother
and sister have fewer after
school chores than their parents
had as children.
Urban living has eliminated
the play spots of yesteryear.
There's a shopping center
where the kids used to play ball
in the pasture. and the "old
swimming hole" is now a pol
luted stream unless it has been
converted into storm sewer.
Modern city governments have
assumed the responsibility OF
providing play space at public
recreation centers. Children and
adults alike often can find op-
portunities for leisure-time ac-
tivities at the play area within
walking distance of their homes
~ Play Begins at Home
Even with these public facili-
ties and others, private and
commercial, it is often desirable
to have a space to play right at
home. Many families build rec
reation rooms in their Easements
and equip them with toys and
games. Few, however, realize
what can be done in their back
yards so that their children can
enjoy healthful play and at the
same time benefit from fresh air
and sunlight.
What you would include in
your yard play lot depends
chiefly on the ages Of your
children.
To make MONS job easier with
preschool age children, the yard
should be inclosed. This pre-
vents the children from wander
ing and dashing out into the
street, and at the same time

Clock Golf With Putter

Clock golf needs no more than
a putter, ball and a tin can
sunk in the ground. Mark q
large circle on the ground and
place the cup within it but off
center so that your puts will
be of different length. Place IL
markers around the edge of the
circle and putt from each marker
in rotation. The player with
the lowest score wins.
A variation of one-wall hand
ball can be played against the
outside Of the house. Draw a
line 8 feet from the wall. The
player bounces a tennis ball
against the wall and attempts
to catch it before it touches the
ground. One point is awarded for
each successful try. If the ball
is caught on the first bounce, the
player may try again but gets
no score for that try. A miss is
called if the ball rolls, bounces
twice. is dropped, or if the player
steps across the line, and the
opposing player takes over.

Bob Hope Is Great In
"The Seven Little FOyS"

One of the most delightful and
moving screen biographies ever
made is showing Wednesday and
Thursday at the Theater. With
Bob Hope starring as vaudevi1lian

Toys" is an entertainment-packed
film that has everything = and
everything it has is terrific"
If you think you know Bob
Hope-and who in the wide world
doesn't = you have a wonderful
surprise in store for you. For the
first time in shis flashing career
the great comedian has under
taken biographical role, and
the result is a scintillating per-
Torrance that spans every area
of entertainment from drama to
comedy to touching romance.
Whether performing a song and
dance routine a la Eddie .Foy, en-
gaging in a poignant love scene
with his lissome co-star, Milly
Vitale, or drawing tears from his
audience with his depth of emo
tional understanding. the new
Hope is a greater Hope than ever

MOSCOW, R-Gen. Nathan D.
Twining, chief of Americas far
flung Air Force, arrived in Mos
cow Saturday to- inspect Russia's
aerial might.
Twining told his Soviet hosts as
he stepped off his DC-6B that he
had come to the Soviet Union to
''look and listen"
He was met by Marshal Ivan S.
Konev, who told him eve are
glad to meet you and hope you
will enjoy your stay"
Konev is deputy Soviet defense
minister and commander in chief
of unified military forces of the
Communist Warsaw Pact alliance.
Twining was the first of the
Vests Big Three air chiefs to ar
rive for an unprecedented look
at the Soviet air force. He arrived
in response to a Soviet invitation
to attend its annual Aviation Day,
yesterday, at which this nation
showed off its new air develop
ment.
Twining told reporters at the
airport, 81 am very honored to

tivities here. My group will look

eft a great deal. After that we
will report to the President and
the Pentagon and through them
to the general public"
An American reporter asked
Twining, looking dapper in his
summer uniform, "What do you
see as the principal significance
of this trip? Is there anything po-
litical in it?"
Twining replied, Il am not in
the political business. My princi-
pal interest is to meet and talk
with Soviet air force leaders and
see their equipment and their lat
est developments. The purpose of
the trip is to show our Air Force
people what the Soviet people are
doing in the way of new equip
ment and its significance. It is

Accompanying him were four
lieutenant generals, a major gen.
eral, a brigadier general, and

ate up the time with the touch

march which ended with a
touchdown called back.
