THE WAYS OF LEISURE

What a nations people do with their
leisure time is a good indication of that
nations way of life 1t is interesting to
consider how the United States measures
up in this respect.
Public opinion surveys show that the
number of Americans who claim to be
reading a book at any given time is only
half the number who own an automobile.
Obviously, Americans spend a good deal
of leisure time in their cars. Television
viewing is another activity which captures
millions of leisure hours. Though there is
room for argument as to whether the net
effect of television is harmful, certainly
a lot of TV viewing cannot be considered
a productive use of leisure time.
Leisure is not just what is left over
after work is done. Leisure can be thought
of as a spirit, an outlook on life. Good
use of leisure requires education. Leisure
also has to do with values-values which
can be taught in school, in the home, in
the church.
Ourdoor exercise, walks in the woods
(where there are any left within reach) ),
active sports for those young enough to
participate, good professional and amateur
theater, reading for pleasure and enlight-
eminent, good conversation-these are but
a few of the constructive uses of leisure.
Americans have the privilege of choice be-
tween such things and the mere idleness of
killing time" What we choose will tell
the world much about what we are.

CHRONICLE, MILFORD DELAWARE
A CONSERVATIVES VIEW

Controversies tend to build up in terms
of black and white, with little attention
paid to the grey areas. The current hoop
la about the John Birch Society," semi
secret group which purports to fight Com
munism but spends much of its energy
smearing good Americans up to and in
Guiding former President Eisenhower, is
good illustration of this.
The John Birch Society has attracted
the allegiance of many conservative Amer
leans. 1t has been censured and ridiculed
by many liberal Americans. One might
suppose that this was invariable the lineup,
conservatives for the group, liberals ag-
ainst it. The fact is that numerous wise
conservatives who understand the danger
of using bad means to attain even the best
of ends have Joined liberals in condemning
the John Birch Society.
Notable among those who will have
nothing to do with this reactionary group
is Raymond Moley, who for many years
has been an outstanding conservative
spokesman. Moley was giving public wit
ness for what he conceived to be the prin-
cipleS of conservatism long before it be-
came popular to do so, and this is how
he recently summed up his feelings about
the John Birch Society's attitudes and
HleLOuS true Observation-Disclosures MAKE
clear that it is not adopting the very
means which in the long run will end in
the sacrifice of human liberty"
Moley also declared that published
statements of John WEIGH, founder of the
group, "have been in large part inimical
to the fundamental American principles in
which | have always belieVed-and which,
| believe, are shared by a majority of
of right thinking Americans" 1t is this
negation of basic democratic principles
that thoughtful Americans liberals and
conservatives alike, cannot stomach.

Each girl or boy has a certain
amount of antagonism towards
the authority of mother and father
anyway, DR.. Blau points out. These
situations intensity it. 81 am not
pointing out Clark Cables son, or
any child specifically-but when a
parent is dead or permanently alb
sent from the home for some rea-
son, the problem is much worse.
Fantasy builds up the father in
the child's mind as someone with
out faults. He never made a mis-
take, never lost his temper, never
would have punished him, always
was benevolent, and with more tai
ents than humanity possible.
AT least a child whose famous
parent is at home with him has
realistic idea of him. He has a
human father figure rather than a
fantasy father"
Being a good or bad parent
has little to do with being a cele-i
brity, the doctor believes. The good
and bad have been equally distrib-
uted among all kinds of people.
Few stage or screen personalities

In a few years, however, this was

BABSON DISCUSSES UNEXPECTED EVENTS

Babson Park, Mass, May II.
There have been eight important
unexpected events since 1860 that
have affected us. markets. The
first was the election of Abraham
Lincoln and the beginning of the
Civil War This caused a great
break in all markets.
Eight Severe Market Declines
In addition to the above, let me
describe the seven other severe
market declines which have come
from wholly unexpected events. (2)
Directly following the Civil War
there was tremendous impetus
given to railroad building, which
resulted in great speculation. This
collapsed in the 1905. (3) Up un-
til the 1905 politics had not af-
fected business; but at this time
William j. Bryan, probably the
greatest orator America has seen,
started campaign to go off the
gold basis and to use silver. This
raised havoc with the stock market.

relatively steady until the Spanish
American War suddenly came upon
us in 1898, with the sinking of 1.-The

first caused a panic. after which
the stock market began to pick up

moves favoring trusts and other
