Work in the field of recreation, ayorr’ for the selective service anaet: is
now classified by our Feteret government as essential. Of paca Martine
or peacetime, it is suauienk to keep on living, to hc a zest for living
In wartime, recreation is more than ever essential, when usual values are
aeep tees. when homes are broken up, when always there is uncertainty. The’
, question for recreation workers in such a period is this: Are we making our

job in recreation essential? Are we thinking about ourselves, our careers,

recognition for ourselves -- or are we losing all thought of ourselves and

thinking only of how each hour may be made to count for the people we serve?
