Leisure Time Use Growing Problem Regular Recreation Profession Growing By DOC QUIGG United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—I have been reading, in my leisure time a weighty study of the great coming problem of what to do with your (leisure time This is no joking matter. In coming years, the machines are going to give us free time—plenty of it. Already there is growing up a regular profession of recreation in ‘which many people are making a life work of doping out what everybody else should do when not working. I have always thought I had this problem solved. I have a knack for loafing and, as a matter of history, during one whole year in the great depression of the 1930's there was a remarkable flowering of my ability to stare absently into space, like a cow. However, space-starting is not recommended in the present study. Indeed, the suggestion is thrown out that we may begin working harder in our leisure than we do at work and that job-time may become our spare time—a concept that already has me dizzy. The study, in the form of papers by numerous experts, occupies an entire edition of the bimonthly “annals” of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. In one section. Dr. Margaret Mead, the ethnologist, says that the generation which has married since World War II has shifted the balance to the home as the center of existence. Plan At Home The car, the TV set, pets, babies, do-it-yourself are contributory to home life as play, Dr. Mead says. However, do-it - yourself plus five children “besides being delighthll, is strenuous, time consuming, backbreaking. . .” Hence: “The job outside the home, if not seen as recreation in the spiritual sense, is becoming recreation in the physical sense. It is a relief from the exactions of the close personal life at home, a chance for a little peace, and quiet, a quiet smoke, time to collect one’s thoughts.” Well, isn’t that fine? But what I like is a later sentence: “If a man is doing the best he can, getting up at night with his young babies, taking them off their mother’s hands as soon as he gets home, or perhaps getting supper because she has a parttime to do it is unfair to ask him to wear himself out at work.” Now we’re getting someplace. That’s exactly the way I feel about it, and I hope my boss is listening. Where did you go? “Out.’* What did you do? “Nothing — I went to work for a while.” No Turning Back In a concluding article of the series, Dr. James C. Charlesworth, president of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, says we certainly can’t return to the days of Thomas Jefiferson, when 94 per cent of Ameri- | cans lived on farmsteads. The I farmer and his wife worked seven 'days a week, 14 hours a day, but

Now, short work-time, monotonous, boring mechanized jobs, and | early retirement pose a recreation , challenge. He proposes compulsory teaching of recreational skills in schools (same as literature, his- , tory, mathematics), state depart- ( ments of recreation, and acquiring land now for future recreation. He is pretty bitter about “mass ' spectation” — thousands watching • a few professionals, without themselves engaging in any recreation; “Herein dwells a dark threat to American democracy, for if people are trained to sit and watch professionals in sports and other recreation, they will also sit and watch while some ambitious busybodies take their government away from them and operate it.” SCHOOL REPORTER save orders for the class, the courtesy will be greatly appreciated.

Dial-Service Test Concluded Tuesday Automatic PilotDevice Disclosed NEW YORK (IP) — Dial-Service driving, the latest innovation in the automotive industry, was demonstrated Tuesday during a 680mile trip from Detroit to New York. Three Chrysler - product automobiles made the 12-hour trip, each equipped with a new automatic pilot device which enables the driver to dial the speed he desires, push a button and remove his foot from the accelerator. The new system, optional equipment on some 1958 Chrysler cars, is designed to reduce driver fatigue and relieve the driver of checking his speedometer. Approximately 95 per cent of the trip over three super highways was made with the auto-pilots on'full

automatic. During the remaining 5 per cent of the time, with the auto-pilot on semi-automatic, the driver encountered a warning back pressure on the accelerator when he exceeded the speed, he had set for himself. R. M. Rodger, chief engineer of the Chrysler division, said the automatic even control of the accelerator provided by the auto pilot resulted in a substantial saving in fuel consumption. Thus was brought out, he said, by comparison of results with an accompanying car equipped with a conventional accelerator.
