The Adult Cycle

The gifts of leisure to contemporary society offer many benefits of recreation to our adult population. All social and economic factors indicate that this privilege will continue. Adulthood is not reaping the values available to it and often because of misuse and abuse of leisure there is individual and social pathology. The forces of organized recreation, public and private, have centered interests largely on programs for children and youth. Concentration should now be made, as equally and effectively, on services for adults. A good start is noted in the provision of recreation for our senior citizens.
