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.

at more than 2,000 state parks
has passed the 180,000,000-a;
year-mark. 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."

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.
