“Recreation may be the salvation of
communities cracking at the seams,
under the pressure of modern liying”,
Dr. Earle Zeigler, professor and head
of the department of physical health
and recreation education at the Uni
versity of Western Ontario, told dele
gates at a rally of the Lake Huron
Recreational Council, held in Wing
ham last Wednesday night. “The mis
use of leisure time has been the
downfall of civilizations in the past,
and the surplus economy of the 20th
century .has brought
spectatoritus which
the present Western
leisure time philospohy and the abil
ity to relax may yet be regarded as
equally important with the other and
more old-fashioned virtues", the
speaker said.
Dr. Zeigler pointed out that al

year, Dr. Zeigler said that while the
profession is still in its infancy, it will
soon be given the same standing as

he said. “With the mechanical pro
gress of civilization, we are in danger
of realizing our dream of leisure and finding it to be a disappointment be- I
cause of inadequate preparation for
the leisure which has come our way”.
Dr. Zeigler said that there should
be more stress placed on sportsman
ship and less on winning. The “cul-#
ture” aspect of the term physical cul
ture should be given more import
ance, rather than the mere fact of
competition.
Mayor DeWitt Miller welcomed
delegates to the conference on behalf
of the town, and the speaker was in
