(International Soundphoto) Planning for Future Leisure Must Not Be at Leisurely Pace Editor'! note: Thii in the last of three dispatches on leisure in the Vnited States. Today Leisure in tne Future. r By FRED DANZIG r United Press Correspondent -.New York (W We can't plan for future leisure at a leisurely pace. As our population soars it's expected to hit 225,000,- 000 in 1975 the need for more public recreation space climbs with it. And since more than half of our 1975 popula tion will be living near the big cities, in so-called metro politan areas, we're in for -more crowding. Lesson Simple "The lesson for recreation ists in this connection is sim ple Get the land now!" says James C. Charlesworth, president of the American , Academy of Political & Social Sciences. "The longer acqui sition is postponed, the more expensive it will be," he adds. How much land is needed? Recreationists say the ideal is to have 20 acres for the spare-time use of each 1,000 population. At present, 1,807 commu nities have parks and, other recreation areas for their residents, totalling 750,000 acres. Some 1,950 communi ties also have neighborhood playgrounds and recreation centers. We have indoor recreation centers for arts and crafts, ping pong, dancing, etc. in about 14,000 buildings and one-third of our 14,000 school buildings also are used for Dublic recreation. Our com munities now spencfmore than 500 million dollars for parks and recreation programs. Attendance in Millions Other major sources of rec reation activity are the 39,- 000,-000 state - owned land and water areas. Attendance The Family Council - Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a judge, a psychiatrist, tSree clergymen;-! newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writer's. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Muriel S. He won't for give and forget. Donald S. She'll do it again. Muriel S. The day I made up my mind to leave my hus band and two children I should have been shot. I don't know what got into me. I had been upset and unhappy for a long time, but I really didn't think about leaving. It kind of happened to me. Well, since then I have mapped back to my senses. It took almost four months. I went to stay with an old friend of mine and she helped me to realize what I was giv ing up and where my duty lay. - I have begged my husband to forgive and forget, but he won't see things my way. He has been living with his moth er. She takes care of the chil dren and he says -they are all getting along fine without me. I am afraid of what will happen if I bring him to court. Donald S. How can you trust a woman who would walk out on two children, aged 7 and 5? How can you trust a wife who deserts a husband without even a word of warning? :JVly mother says I'd be crazier than Muriel if I tried ta make a go of it again. I'm not worried about going to court because I'm sure I can get custody of the children Muriel is really crazy. 1 have been a good hus band and always supported my family well. Muriel and I married when we were 16 and 18 probably too young. But I grew up and she never did". She wanted marriage to be one long romance. She re sented housework and taking care of the children. Jluriel would be sick of us ail again within a month. ;Th Council: Donald is do irig" himself and his children a grave injury by shutting the door on his wife. He is now deserting her just as she deserted him. Muriel's action was rooted in emotional and psychologi cal illness. Probably she is still ill and greatly in need of help. She evidently has enough rational control to see the strangeness and folly of her actions, but it is not enough for her to simply rec ognize her duty. Despite her best efforts, her mind could play tricks on her again un less she goes about getting some treatment. On the one hand Donald calls his wife "crazy," and on the other, he talks about her as though she is simply a bad child. Neither is true. Donald's refusal to face the facts of his wife's illness appears to be cruel, but it indicates some illness on his part too. Donald and Muriel need to get together with a competent social worker to talk over the problems of their marriage. They both need some psychia tric help. (Copyright 1958, .General Features Corp.

Then we have for est lands, game refuges and lakes controlled by the Unit ed States government, which attract 200,000,000 people a year for hiking, fishing, pic nicking, hunting, camping and boating. Charlesworth. writing in i "the Annals of the American Academy," urges that recrea tion leaders not city plan ners carry out recreation planning. City planners, he feels, are "architects rather than social scientists." In addition, -Charlesworth suggests that recreation lead ers broaden their base of ad ministration and emphasize recreation for young adults and elderly people, two class es that usually get left behind in such programs. Emphasis in future leisure should be on "pride-of-doing, togetherness, human under standing, creativity and de velopment of the mind and spirit," Charlesworth says. Encourages Hobbies He also points out that most people do not plan their lives too well in advance and are faced with a lost feeling i as retirement appr o a c h e s. Charlesworth urges that be havioral scientists be enlisted to help elderly workers find suitable hobbies before they retire. In summing up leisure in the United States, we may conclude: We are urged to believe that work for work's sake is bad. Wasteful uses of leisure can soften and mortify the spirit and the flesh and affect the nation's strength. A vast evaluation must be made of our leisure activi ties to determine what the "wasteful uses" are. since automation is giving us still more free time. All elements in our na tion, from the local to the fed eral level, must be joined in a program to assure that an adequate amount of recrea tion area and supervision for future generations becomes available. More emphasis must be placed on the leisure time needs of young adults and "senior citizens." Try to relax when you're supposed to be spending spare time. Remember that old Chi nese proverb: "Life is not a vessel to be drained but a cup to be filled." SHOP WEEK DAYS!! WE AKE CLOSED SUNDAYS New Machine Cuts Time for Diagnosis Boston (ID X-ray films can now be made safely while the patient is on the operating table. A new type of X-ray ma-i chine originated by the Vet erans Administration makes this possible. The machine will enable doctors to cut the time required for pre-surgery X-ray diagnosis to two or three minutes in crucial cases. After the new machine is swung into position over the patient on the table and the film exposure is made, the picture can be developed with a Polaroid film processor and interpreted so that surgery can begin in a minute and a half. Formerly, X-ray apparatus had to be used with great cau tion in operating rooms in the presence of explosive anesthetics. Daily's U-Drlve Medford Airport VALENTINE BREAKFAST SPECIALS!
