N Sah ah #2 hood natural affair, Varied Forms Of Recreation Athletic Fields In Community Are Now The Greatest Need The following essay written by Helen Stockel won second prize in the Frank H. Hemel- right Memorial Essay contest sponsored by Dr. F. Budd Schooley for students of Dal- las Borough High School. —Editor. To any normal development - of a person’s life a balance of physical and mental activity is essential, ‘This can easily be understood by remembering that when we are tired from a day's work, a good book or a movie will satisfy us much more than an evening of skating or bowling. However, phy- sical exercise will be sure to com- pensate an office worker for a day's strenuous mental activity. Physical or mental relaxation makes for a wholesome life and prepares the individual for compatibility and popularity. All of this may be summed up simply in the child- rhyme, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and vice versa. We do not often think perhaps of this diversion of our time as it is explained because it comes as a When we are tired from our work, we devote our time to leisure without too much con- sentrated ‘thought. However we often find ourselves “in a rut,” and it is well to consider the outlets for wise use of our spare time in order that we may have a change of scenery and a diversion of in- {erests. Although it is often the opinion of many people, it is far from true that the recreational facilities of the Back Mountain region are at a low ebb. What perhaps is the cause of the mistaken idea, is the lack of public enthusiasm and a well-marked hesitancy to use one’s initiative in providing new and ever present forms of pleasure. With a little applied effort many inexpensive seasonal sports are to be found from which unestimated value in health and social construc- tion may be received. Among these we find skating, ski- ing, sledding and tobaggoning in abundance throughout the winter months. Who among us doesn’t thrill to the ring of skates on a glassy pond or ithe sting of wind and snow in a downhill feat of skill? In addition to what nature provides for us, Irem Temple Coun- try Club this year has taken the trouble of installing ‘a toboggan run. This of all things should in- spire us with a yen for the cold and snow. And then when spring rolls around again, there’s the old fav- orite of nature lovers, fishing. This - area certainly provides a variety of sources of amusement for the rod and reel addict. It’s good relaxa- tion and fun for those who like to gamble with luck. Spring also brings long walks in the country and of course we can’t exclude ‘bike riding. Perhaps this suggestion sounds a bit gruesome to the adults, but for the younger set—well, strong muscles and nar- row hips and waistlines (of the girls) will prove the value of it. The warm weather seasons of the year open a vista of outdoor games and sports that can supply ample fun and recreation for everyone. Among these we include badminton, croquet and tennis. [Plans have been discussed for providing a ten- nic court in back of the library. This would be a comparatively sim- ple matter involving some local ambition with little expense. Horseback riding is an ideal tonic for stuffy minds and is guaranteed to divert one’s thoughts from the mental to the physical. Perhaps it is less practical for some of us so we turn on the water and go swim- ming. This, beyond a doubt, is one of the most popular of the Back Moun- tain summer sports, the general favorites being the Country Club pool and Harvey's Lake. Swimming is the acknowledged medium of get- ting one’s vitamin D via the sun, getting the most from a vacation, and keeping up the social ean ,.so—see you at the lake. x i Seriously, though, the summer is one of the nicest. times of the year. and without the shackles of war and rationing, we can again plan (1. country jaunts: with ithe ‘fiver ‘and: pounds of hot dogs.

So far we've been keeping you out-of-doors with Mom Nature, but if you need a roof over your head to enjoy yourself, we've a place for you too. Movies seem to be the first resource. The addition of a town library has undoubtedly ren- dered a great service to the whole Back Mountain area. We wonder now how we ever got along with- out it. The patience and guidance of civic leaders in supporting the Teen- Age house are greatly to be appre- ciated. It has made many an even- ing gay that would have been dull otherwise. With all the possibilities that have been mentioned it must be admitted that there is still room for improvement. The proposed Community Center seems to be the solution to most of our present needs. A bowling alley in the Com- munity Center is one of the addi- tions we would do well to have. The hope of the region lies in that Community Center. Lets bring it into the not far distant future. The one other necessity requisite for good recreation is an athletic field. It should be first of all large and in a central location. It would afford fair grounds for interscholas- tic as well as locally sponsored games. It is the problem of the entire region and as such, should be treated in a cooperative manner, deserving immediate attention. In the past, the “region united definitely for the common good has been powerful in bringing ideals into reality. Since the need has arisen we must be confident that even more will be accomplished in the future. Let us not put off singly until tomorrow what we can accomplish with Ty today.
