Li
(By W.G.Strong)
An American psychiatrist recently stated
that the deepest problems of people today
are loneliness and isolation. To feel
completely alone and isolated leads to
mental disintegration and eventual senility
just as physical starvation leads to
deterioration and ultimate death. Most of
us have had some experience of the pangs
of loneliness. This fear drives many down
strange avenues, anywhere to escape the
haunting pain of aloneness. Fortunately
our twentieth century has made available a
multitude of outlets and facilities through
which we can dispel man y of our moods of
isolation. Radio and television are our
modern constant companions, Movies and
theatres provide amusement and
entertainment. Clubs and organizations
have widened our social opportunities.
Automobiles bring us together more
rapidly and more frequently. Yet all these
outlets do not constitute antidotes for
loneliness. In spite of these conveniences,
man is still plagued with a feeling of
isolation in his advancing and declining
years. The human being was never created
to play the role of a self-imposed hermit.
Leisure has been defined as the time
when you can do what you please. You
have time available for certain activities,
time away from work, time relatively free
from compulsion. Leisure should spell out
contentment, happiness, an absence of
conflict and anguish, a time for one to be
his real self. Today, leisure has spread its
influence over the whole population and
our senior citizens must share in this
modern sociological development.
Many-Sided
Reading constitutes the greatest leisure-
time diversion for most persons. It is a
many-sided delight, an intense,
instructive, joyful, soul-satisfying
pleasure. It is the sole , means of ,
communication with the great minds of the
past and of the present. Burns read at his
meals and is said to have carried his books
into the field behind the plough. Fr ankling
was apprenticed to his brother, a printer,
and benefitted therefrom. Lincoln read by
the firelight in the log cabin, often to the
distress of his parents. This list could be
enlarged at length to prove that intelligent
curiosity, that essential of human
greatness, finds its growth in books and
will not be denied. Some read for the pure
pleasure derived from the printed" page
while, for others, reading opens the mind
to the full possibilities of human
achievement and human understanding as
nothing else can.
It is not to be suggested that such
modern means of expression as films and
television are without value. They have
their use and their place. Radio and
television take us on amazing excursions in
knowledge and imagination but the spoken
word and the picture program lack the
essence of the printed sheet. Sound and
scene are essential mainly for the moment.
These daily streams of sound and sight
flicker to their close when the button is
turned or pushed. The printed word,
however, does not vanish as it passes but
stimulates our minds by a rich profusion of
information as wide as life itself. Properly
used, the above media should not interfere
with reading but, on the other hand, should

supplement and encourage it. Though
television may have a more immediate
impact than words on the printed page it
does not offer the intimacy, the scope and
the sense of participation that the reader
finds in good books. The reader
experiences an immediate sense of
pleasure as he or she delves into the
knowledge and ideas which books and
magazines offer or marvels at the pictures
and paintings that take him or her to many
exciting worlds he never knew before.
Enjoyment.
Newspapers and magazines provide
additional enjoyment for people at all ages.
The columns of the newspaper, whether
daily or weekly, present events and
happenings in more ample form than the
clipped confines ' of a newscast.
Newspapers do more than report events.
They have a greater capacity than radio or
television to set events in clear and proper
perspective, to illuminate them by the
judgment of authorities informed in
particular fields and to supplement
superficial facts with knowledge distilled
from competent study. Newspapers invest
the news with larger dimensions of
meaning. The newspaper brings so much
besides news by stimulating our minds
with the rich profusion of information in a
range as wide as diversified as life itself.
The printed word does not vanish as do the
scraps of memory from yesterday's
broadcast. The printed word should never
be superseded by the electronic voice or
the animated screen. Reading should never
be displaced by listening and watching.
Magazines help us to talk knowingly and
interestingly on a whole range of thrilling
subjects that make yesterday's and today's
world so exciting for us all. They present
instant, authoritative and authentic
information on almost every conceivable
subject, topic, study or field of human
thought. They provide constant
companionship with hundreds of the
world's great minds. They help us to
discuss many subjects that bear on the
daily life of happy, successful men and
women. When you brouse through them it
is like taking an armchair trip around the
world. You become a Marco Polo who sees
the world from his own living-room. One
may explore the most picturesque spots on
earth and make pictorial visits to world
landmarks of breathtaking beauty. You
may view art treasures in famous
museums. You may look in wonder at the
hundreds of photographs brought to you in
gorgeous full colour. You can stand beside
miners a mile below the earth's crust,
share the intense drama of the test pilot as
he shatters the sound barrier or walk with
the astronaut on the moon's dusty, cold
surface. Current magazines bring a wealth
of relaxation and enjoyment into countless
homes.
"Around the globe I have not travelled
much
But in my mind what places I have seen!
I stay at home and still I journey far
With good companions though I am
alone,
Down toads found nowhere save in
dreams.
I am a wanderer in Wondershire."
