FRASER, Publisher The publisher Pees at atarateteet Sea The uses of leisure Is it the latent puritanism in North American llfe that makes recreation suspect? While Canada has eseaped many of the tabus of our US cousins, there Is still the fealing in many parts that work Ls the only goal and enjoyment Js sinful, It might be easy to regard the survey by the local Recreation Committee as something not‘ really relevant to the ail important task of making a dollar. But the rapidly chanettiz patt Hie makes recreation a major factor, Amour tion Is here and its major effects will be felt sooner than many people would care to reallse, More people are going to have more leisure, and unless we plunge right back Into economic imbecility, they will have the income to enjoy that leisure, It’s not just the parking... News that Terrace Municipal Council Is again studying the continuing chaos politely referred to as the downtown parking problem is wel come enough, Some of the more cynical may indeed make bitter nuises like ho-hum. But why not take a goud long look at the over- all driving situation in town, tov, Terrace would appear to have. more bonee heads behind the wheels of automobiles than any comparable community in British Columbia, To say nothing of meandering pedestrians who blithely manifest themselves from between parked cars to challenge bravely the oncoming traffic, While the local RCMP dedicate themselves to upholding the law on local highways with an almost extravagant disbursement of speeding tickets, they could also take a look at what is happening In the town, . They might wage war, for instance on the Guest commeny Don’t sell children short M.V.C, Jeffreys, a prominent English educate lonalist, recently made this observation: House Ing, however imperfect, has never been better; yet for many people the home has never meant less,’ ? . so Does that apply tu our Canaiian situation? Many of our*homes=touay .do-sseent* to: be and places to stay while the car is being re- paired. Parents In this age of unprecedented affluence can, if they are not very careful, sell their children short with respect to many ofthe things that really matter in fe, It is an alarming fact that some parents today seem to be more the proprietors of their children than really parents.
