Strength And Safety Os Our Nation Dependent On Personal Strength

In my six years as Secretary of the Interior, I have come more and more to the inescapable conclusion that the strength and safety of this nation are as much dependent upon our people's physical <fevelopment and health as upon our armory cf weapons. This bang true, what is America today? In our free society, how have we fared in developing and preserving in our race that element of physical stamina and vigor so essential to our freedom? A national survey a few years ago found that, at best, one-fourth of our 40 million school children could not pass even a simple screening t:st of physical performance —a test requiring the barest minimum acceptance levels of strength, flexibility, and agility. Clearly, this should be a cause for concern in all of us. Such concern is only magnified when we look beyond school age to the increasingly high rate of young men rejected by the army for physical reasons — three of every seven called! With these figures in mind, it becomes increasingly clear that we can't argue too much with the claim that Am Tica has become too soft. We n;. d to stress physical fitness to sc ol children and adults alike. Pros iding more recreation areas and facilities is one of the answers to the problem. But presiding such has proven difficult. We have missed many an opportunity. Much of the land sve need most already is built over or has soared fantastically in price. But now, for the first time, sve are winning the battle of conservation to heip .Americans keep physically fit. In 1966. the states, cities, and counties of the Northeast acquired nearly 350,000 acres of public recreation land. The Pacific southwest acquired another 140.000 acres. Those two areas — our most densely populated sectors — acquired over half the 925,000 acres in local and state public recreation areas set aside last year. The federal government acquired some 785,000 acres of public land and water areas last year — more than half east of the Mississippi river. Again, the bulk of the new

| public recreation areas are where most of our people live. Local and state governments acquired more recreation land than the federal government. This was as it should be. We are a people in need of relief i from the day-to-day tensions compounded of the varied stresses which derive from metropolitan congestion. We are demanding and getting some relief. Concurrent with the big move to America's cit- ; ies has been the big surge to the outdoors. Our latest figures show a j continued rise in the number of visitors to national recreation areas in our forests, parks, wildlife refug- j ; es, seashores and reservoirs areas, j We cannot rest, however, until our national heritage is secure. \ In the words of President Johnson, “Clearly, the time for action is at hand. The problems are made jby man and can be solved by enlightened man. We will not yield to carelessness or greed in our , determination to preserve, unspoiled : and unsullied for future generations of Americans, this natural inheritance which we received as our national birthright.” I Training and experience received ! in 4-H helps youngsters in future career choice.
