Hjx consciousness prevents thn free in IiicIIhk of t'io soxos In piny and at llvvsumo tlmd thero Is need of uctivi t.'os In which older boy und girls can mlllglo together as "comrades in pluy." Hoys at this parlnd develop a grout Interest In Srguiilzcd gumes, f.urh as baseball, football and basket ball. Active play-'shonld be encour aged, but ut tho same time care should' bo taken to avoid overtaxing the strength. Many line boys are lit erally "burned-out" physically by a strenuous athletic program, and the pracoko Is Just as Injurious to girls. Tho athlot'c fluid is un essential tiif this group.

There would be'ehme physical pastimes, but the room for a court at Riverside Park, ( cultural ones am well, such as miov'c. alto. Hiking, Music activities, dramatics, ; social evenings', and dancing are all J acceptable acflvltkis for tWs, group,: nod require leadership, an well as fucllltles for their promotion. Some groups may question the inclusion of social dancing In a community rec reation program, but the consensus of opinion Is .(bat dancing, under proper auspices, Wr wholesome rec reation. I have found In dealing with young people, 4hat the organization of clubs Is very helpful. The club soon. learns the elements of self-govern: mont and self-control, and the club, system provides a method of (se ating competition which la very bene ficial. Some of my clubs, such as tho Hikers' club are composed, of both sexes; others such as the athletic clubs are composed of one sex 'only. - Adult KecR-ation.

All of our IS playgrounds in Cortland now contain horseshoe oourts for both men and work together. Adults need leisure I drama, pageantry, etc. I The Community House, believe that there Is a strong ,(imr demand for a conuminity building in Klamath Falls, .although Uieps are several different projects tinder discussion. The community should decide which project offers the beat chance of success and which 'will serve the greatest number of people. , Most cities have found out that the community house under city aus- , piceg gepre, by far the greatest nurrtber of people. Private enter pr,zes usually fall (o serve the com munity to tha extent that Its people care to give continued financial sup port.
