IMMEDIATE NEED
OF RECREATION
(Continued From Page One)
tion to be a “member of the
team.” On the playground the
child is also free to express him
self without restraint, save those
of the rules of fair play. The
child thus becomes happy, de
velops in a normal manner and
takes an optimistic view of life.
In his second point, Dr. Meyer
considered the stimulation of rec
reation programs in the institu
tions of state for defective, de
linquent and dependent citizen
ship. There are around 78,000
inmates in county and municipal
institutions, these people being of
the nervous insane, criminal
type, those in poverty, the aged
and infirm, the orphaned and the
unemployed. Officials, he said,
realize the value of a recreation
program but claim they are han
dicapped by a shrunken budget
and limited personnel. Much
however, can be done now that
isn’t being done. Dr. Meyer then
explained various games and rec
reational activities that can be
arranged with the money and per
sonnel available.
His third point of discussion was
-the tendency to utilize the nat
ural resources for purely economic
purposes. But without depriving
man of these economic resources
ther€ are many natural resources
of land and water which should
be once and for all insured to
mankind as sources and facilities
for recreation. He suggested that
suited areas for parks and play
grounds be obtained as a lasting
gift to man. He suggested the
building of community centers,
museums, botanical gardens, beau
ty spots, play fields, gymnasiums,
etc.
In closing he said, “These days
with all their stress and strain
not only bring great opportunities
but make demands that we can
not well resist. We not only
mend and patch, but we build a
new order in a changing world,
and in spite of severe handicaps
we will achieve.
Dr. Meyer’s 12-point program
on which he urged consideration
by the conference:
A realization of the need for
play and recreation: a recognition
of its preventive value: making
the most of our natural resources;
establishing parks and play
grounds throughout the com
munities of the state: encourag
ing the activities of home, school
and church along recreation lines:
stimulating recreation programs
in the institution for the defec
tive, delinquent and dependent
citizenship: need for specialized
programs in our social work: a
study of commercialized recrea
tion; activity encouraging those
agencies and programs now func
tioning, building new ones; find
ing and keeping active our folk
ways in recreation; recognition of
individual needs, hobbies; a be
lief in trained leadership.
MILLS PAINTED
BY THE FOREMEN

white except for the first five
feet of the wall which is green.
The stairways leading to the
department show the same im
provements, and so do the waste
and picker rooms. It is also
spreading up into the warp, card
ing and spinning rooms.
We do not wish for any more
short time, but we hope that it
will be possible for this work to
continue and that before long we
will have the entire mill matching
these finishing departments.
The entire Winston Mill has
been gone over with a new coat
of paint and the work there is
finished, with pipes, walls, and
ceilings the same colors as used
at the local plant.
Both mills where this painting
has been done, is a big improve
ment over other plants, and we,
the employees, should realize that
the Company has gone to the ex
pense to make it very desirable
for us to enjoy our work, and we
should all strive to keep it as at
tractive as possible.
Man: “Do you girls really like
conceited men better than the
other kind?”
Girls: (simulaneously) “What
other kind?”
What’s happened to the old-
fashioned girl who was proud to
be seen riding the handle-bars?

Prior to the ceremony Mrs.
