PAGE THREE THE DALLES DAILY CHRONICLE, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1921. COMMUNITY RECREATION What 1b the meaning of Commun ity Recreation? Of what use Is It to the public?, Webster statea, the definition of the word community Is, common pos session or enjoyment; partlcpatlon; a body if people having common Inter ests or privileges; Koclety at large; the public. The word recreation Is defined as the act of recreating or state of being recreated; that which refreshes tho energies or spirit; amusement; sport; diversion. Tho connecting link between com munity recreation and people, and Its propor function? Eugene T. Lies of the Chicago Community Service very aptly covers It In his statement that Community Service Is trying to take tho "wreck" out of recreation and put the unity In community. We might add to this statement that one of our spoclflc functions Is "to' let" the "let' in athletics in every com munity, and aim to secure good ten ants. Community Service tries to re create, giving fresh life to; reanimate as it were; relnvlgorato, giving relief to labor, and especially to the labor ers. There Is scarcely a word In the vocabulary of Community Service that Is not two-fold In Its purpose. Wamely, emphasize the "uso In amuse; romovo tho "dust" from in dustrial and so on. How many of the average business men and women, during theso stienu oub days, tho aftermath of the world's greatest war, take time for a llttlo rocreatlon? Very few, and they havp almost forgotten how to play. In these busy days of tho mad rush and unceasing efforts to accumulate enough of tho coin of the realm to moot tho II. C. of L., everything else is forgotten. Tho old phrase "Neces sity knows no law," Is truly exempli fied at the present time and Neces sity knows only one law, and that is work, for wo must live. Occasionally you moot tho Individ ual, who, leullzlug the valuo of whole somo rocreatlon, starts Ills dny with an hour of golf before going to the office. Tho result, an oxcollont Illus tration of Oliver V,endoll 'Holmes' fa mous quotation, "Knr better to be 70 years young than 40 yonrs old." Tho man with the 38-lnch chest and 32 inch waist, having boon accustomed to an out-or-tloor Ufo or engaged In 'an occupation requiring consldorablo enorgy and development of tho physi cal side, changes to tho swivel chair ponltlon or a sedentary lifo. 'What Is tho result? Ah ho slips Into the habit of regular, or rather Irregular, offlco hours, ho also finds the chest slip ping, and ore long tho waist and chest have changed positions, "Oh You American" our allies' Im pression of tho Amurlcan soldier. The Kngllsh oxclulmed, "Those crazy Americans," whllo tho French remark ed, "Tho wonderful Yankee" A celebrated French officer at Camp Lewis early In 1917, witnessing for tho first time a footbnll game be tween rival regimental teams, ronuuk od to tho writer, "Do till the Ameri can soldiers play football like this?" When answerud In the affirmative, he raised his ucnia, and pointing in the direction of Germany, exclaimed, "When those boys got ovor there, God help the kaiser," Little did we realize the significance of his remark at this time. Tho keynote of tho system of phy sical training and rocreatlon adopted by the United States army can he summed up In three short paragraphs, namely: (a) Strengthening of tho entire body; general health and organ'e vigor. (b) The development of endurance and fortltmlp. Ability to withstand Hardships and privations. (c) Stimulation of the mental in.. v. era; rapid assimilation of genera, in struction, The American public have but re cently awakened to this wldospraul unfitness and thu draft statistics which uhowed one third of our young men called unfit for active service Hence tho nationwide movement to ward tho betterment of these cotutl lions, 'Many of the ttulcs 111) at this time) luring compulsory physical tralnlug .UV8, take care of the boys and girls, while tho young men and women of the colleges and universities are well equipped In this respect. Hut what of tho vast army of the employed, who have neither tho time nor tho lucllua. lion to take up this work, What are we going to do for them? Taking care of the leisure time, when the people r.re not eating or '' aleepTng U the problem, and ulthousti America at this time Is pns.Mng through un era of being "highly ;r ganlzed," recreation, Individual, com munity and nation ns a whole has nev er been so needed by the people, lor the people as at the present time.

"It was through wondering what would likely happen should a reject ed suitor meet his former sweetheart, now another man's wife, amid such unconventional suroundlngs that 1 came to write 'The Torrent,'" said the author recently. "Would not the man, finding the girl he once loved and had been for saken for an unworthy millionaire, take advantage of th(; situation to gain revenge? Would he not play with her as a cat with a mouse? Would he not make her practically his Blave on thnt lonely shore? 'As I got deeper and deeper Into tho tale, however, the man began to tnke things into his own hands. Llko most writers, I had long since dlscov. ered that a story in tho actual writing seldom develops according to precon ceived plans. Paul Mack, the man In The Torrent,' though setting out to wreak vengeance upon Velraa Patton, became less and less a cad as the story unfolded through my typewriter. It was Impossible to make him act the brute.

Leaders expect to enact the Ford ney emergency tariff bill, vetoed by President Wilson at the last session, without delay. The anti-dumping and American valuation measures may be made a part of it so there will be one bill in stead of three. This, It is argued, would make for speed. Then attention will be given to tax revision and enactment of a perma nent tariff. Measures will be ready for consideration of congress by Au gust, according to Senator Penrose. The permanent tariff will greatly in crease duticu. On the question of taxa tion, there Is agreement that the ex cess r.nfi.3 tux shall be eliminated and sur-taxes lo'.vered to the "collec tion point." What new taxes will be devised re mains uncertain, and the, question promises to be ono on which there will be much debate. Secretary of The Treasury Mellon is compiling sugges tions on tax measures for the informs tion of leaders. Other important domestic legisla tion Includes passage of the army and navy appropriation bills, which fail ed during the last session. A fight is In prospect on both. The army bill will Involve debate on the size of the army. The navy bill providing for 'continuation of the 1916 construction program, will meet hostility from ad vocates of armament limitation, and from those who believe ff is, a, waste of money to construct capital ships because of the development of aerial and submarine warfare. Immigration restriction is again to be considered as well as the, soldier bonus bill, and federal regulation of the coal mining and meat packing in dustries.
