Leisure Time
Said Problem
For Americans
New York With Americans
already "energetically pursuing
leisure," shorter working hours
will make the wholesome use of
free time a major national prob
lem, an authority on recrea
tional activities declared here
recently.
John W. Fulton, executive
vice-president of the American
Music conference, reported on
various studies showing that the
amount of money spent on re
creational activities is rising fas
ter than any other segment of
the American economy.
This country is changing from
a society based on work to one
based primarily on the utiliza
tion of leisure time, he declared.
"The American people, find
ing themselves with more lei
sure than working hours, and
with money to spend enjoying
them, have a problem that is
new in mankinds history," Ful
ton said.
The promised four-day week
about 1965 will bring a crisis
for many people, unless they are
prepared for a life in which lei
sure time is much more import
ant than working time, he
pointed out.
"Training for such conditions
of life," Fulton said, "must be
gin now. The children now in
school will face this serious
problem by the time they reach
maturity. If they are not pre
pared, we will find more and
more of the social problems
arising from the boredom and
maladjustment that come to per
sons with time .they don't know
how to use.
Fulton attributes much of the
recent boom in musical activity
to this research for wholesome
outlets for leisure.
"There are more than 28,000
000 people in the United States
today who play a musical in
strument," he pointed out. "Rlu
sic has ability to turn leisure
into creativeness."

By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Scientific
tests of human memory have
turned up a new way to improve
your memory both positively and
negatively.
It is to believe and like the
things you want to remember
and to disbelieve and dislike the
things you want to forget.
Believeing and liking "rein
force"one another when it comes
to remembering, and it works in
reverse. Disbelieving and dislik
ing when they go together, foul
up the memory.
Increase Chances
What is new in these findings
of Dr. Robert B. Garber, New
York psychologist, are the mem
ory effects that believing and
liking and disbelieving and dis
liking have upon one another.
In one of his series of tests, he
confirmed what everyone knows
that believing in something in
creases the chances that you'll
remember it. On the other hand,
not believing doesn't . influence
Macy's Employees
Go Out on Strike
New York OJ.P.) Eight thou
sand unionized employees of
Macy's, the world's largest de
partment store, went on strike
today against the giant Manhat
tan store and its four suburban
branches.
Efforts to negotiate a new
contract broke down during the
week end and pickets began
forming lines in front of Macy's
at 12:01 a.m.
The striking employees, mem
bers of the Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Workers
union, include sales men and
women, non-selling employees
and non-executive office person
nel. Union leaders said the pick
ets would urge customers not to
patronize the store.
memory one way or the other.
But the results of his tests with
liking and disliking may come
to most people as a surprise. Evi
dently liking something doesn't
greatly increase the chances of
remembering. He couldn't be
sure that disliking increased the
chances of forgetting his results
were only in that "direction."
When he began experimenting
on how believing and liking
worked together on memory, his
results were most consistent.
There seemed no doubt that
when mixed together, they
greatly strengthened the power
to recall whatever the two were
focussed upon.
Which is the strongest, believ
ing or liking? Garber didn't
neglect that question but devised
testsin which his human subjects
dealt with believing while dis
liking and disbelieving while lik
ing. His conclusion was that lik
ing would dominate over dis
believing and disliking over
believing in deciding whether
memory would be good or bad.
Milk With Fruit
Flavor Under Test
Ithica, N. Y. (U.R) The
Cornell University's agricultural
experiment station plans to adopt
a "Dutch treat" fruit-flavored
milk.
Barring technical problems,
test selling strawberry, cherry,
peach or blackberry milk in
vending machines is slated to
start at Cornell this spring.
Dr. R. F. Holland, head of the
university's department of dairy
industry, said Dutch scientists
have developed a process by
which high-grade pectin, a sub
stance familiar to homemakers
who put up jellies and jams, is
mixed with milk and sugar. After
that, fruit juice is added.
The Cornell experiment will
be the first tests made of the
Dutch process in this country.
