Show HAVING A GOOD TIME By Dean Stoker To most people recreation isn't very important. I am one of the persons who think that recreation is quite important. When I am having fun I am j usually hunting, fishing, camping, camp-ing, playing baseball, basket- j ball, football; going to movies, and sometimes I even have fun in school. I think that recreation or having hav-ing a good time is quite important. import-ant. Just think how dull the world would be if no one even j knew what recreation or fun is. Everyone would be moping around streets or working because be-cause of nothing else to do. If the world was like this there would be no athletics, no recreation recre-ation or youth centers, no ball parks, and no swimming pools, no theaters, and no parks. In my own opinion I do not think that a community, large or small, could be very much of a success; in fact, I don't think that anyone in the community com-munity I live in right now would get along very good without recreation. In the old days people used to have fun by spelling bees, corn husking bees, sleigh rides, taffy pulls, and quilting parties. 1 In today's civilization these ways of having fun in the "good old days" would be very boring, but to the frontier families these games would be very sporty. Some people nowdays are still old fashioned arid try to find someone to have these old games played again. Some of the games used for recreation in the "good old days" are still in use. Such as spelling bees. A great many school children still use these games in school. I believe that recreation or fun is needed in every commun-, commun-, ity. |
