million visits to its areas this

The figures on the leisure
boom are as endless as, they are

F. G. GERIK & SON
& World Report gives the facts
Ion tiie "Leisure Boom." If there
| lias been a recession, it is surely
jnot discernible in these facts.
1 People are spending about $105
| billion on leisure in 1972. Leisure
! spending exceeds the nation's
j national defense costs. It out-
| strips spending for new homes
I and total corporate profits of all
American businesses. Leisure
I spending is larger than the ag-
J gregate income of U.S. f armers.
I In spite of complaints over the
inability to keep up with taxes
and inflation, a great many
people have more free time —
if not six month vacations, at
least many long weekends and
frequently three-week holidays.
A really astounding part of
the leisure boom study of U. S.
News is that dealing with where
and how leisure time money is
spent. Some $40 billion will go
this year for vacation and
pleasure travel. Another $7.5
billion will go for travel abroad
in 1972. Recreation-sports equip-
ment and activities will take
another $50 billion. Another
$5.5 billion will be spent for va-
cation land and lots. Another $2
billion will go for second homes
— retreats to escape from the
pressures of city lile. A further
breakdown of these leisure
boom billions almost seems to
indicate a nation trying to es-
cape from itself. There are some
four million camping vehicles
ranging from $300 trailers to
$25,000 self-propelled "motor
homes.” Where the roads end,
snowmobiles, dune buggies, mini
bikes and other recreational ve-
hicles take over. By the end of
the 1971-72 winter season, it was
estimated that 1.3 million snow-
mobiles were in operation. Oth-
er recreation outlets are skiing,
golf, tennis, cycling, etc. Eleven
million people in 1971 spent $45
billion for water skis alone.
The estimated 75 per cent of
the U.S. population that is in-
volved in some form of out-
door recreation has meant an
astronomical increase in traffic
for national parks and other
around us.
Mental Health -
A Family Affair
“Attitudes of the family, par-
ticularly tiie parents, begin
molding a child’s personality
almost immediately after birth,”
said Dorothy Taylor, Texas
Agricultural Extension special-
ist in family life education.
"People are often influenced
by the atmosphere surrounding
them in the first weeks and
months of life," Miss Taylor ex-
plained. “Personality problems
can hatch during these crucial
earliest stages,”

FDA To Encourage
Nutritional
Food Labeling
"The homemaker concerned
about the nutritional values of
packaged food should know
that the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration is proposing the
establishment of a uniform sys-
tem of voluntary nutritional
labeling for packaged foods.”
That’s the report given by
Frances Reasonover, foods and
nutrition specialist for the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice at Texas A&M University.
The proposal was made in re-
sponse to requests by consumer
groups and to a recommendation
favoring nutritional labeling by
the 1969 White House Confer-
ence on Foods. Nutrition and
Health.
The system would encourage
manufacturers to list calories,
fat, protein, carbohydrates, vit-
amins and minerals on food
packages.

makes it difficult for consumers
to identify the nutritional quali-
ties of the foods they buy,'' the
specialist noted.
Under the proposed guidelines
the information panel, dis-
played prominently on food
packages, would contain the nu-
tritional Information concern-
ing the product.
This list would Include a state-
ment of what’s considered the
size of an average serving for
the product expressed in com-
mon household terms, such as
cups and slices.
It would give the number of
calories per serving rounded off
to the nearest five calorie in-
creasement. Provided also would
be the number of grams of pro-
tein, fat and carbohydrates per
serving rounded off to the near-
est gram.
“Many people are Interested
in vitamins and mineral in-
take,” Miss Reasonover explain-
ed. “The panel would contairf
the percentages of these nu-
trients found in that particular
food.”
The amount of protein In each,
serving would be expressed as
a percentage of the recommend-
ed dietary allowance for adults.
Although the standards would
be voluntary, the FDA conduct-
ed a study that indicates con-
sumers would tend to purchase
products with the nutritional
labeling over those without the
labeling.

“Emotional difficulties between
father and mother will destroy
the climate of security and love,
which children need to develop
normally. But if parents are
happy, they will bring up happy
children.”
The family life education
specialist pointed out that deep-
ly-felt happiness is mental
health.
“Men and women who have
a sense of well-being, a zest for
working and playing and an
ability to derive the utmost
satisfacion from personal rela-
tionships are mentally healthy.
And chances are their children
will also be mentally healthy.”
She said the first step in
dealing with early stages of
personality problems in families
is to help parents become hap-
pier. The modern American
community offers many re-
sources through which family
ties can be strengthened and the
home atmosphere can be im-
proved.
“To find these resources, par-
ents must look within their com-
munities and within themselves.
They must have a pride in their
parenthood, imagination to in-
vestigate new ideas, and cour-
age to put these ideas into ac-
tion.”
Summertime,
Vacations Go
Hand-In-Hand
Summertime holds a special
place in the hearts of most of
us, and it comes again on June
21. It is a season of movement
and change. Vacations will be
coming up; there will be new
places to see. Families will get
i together, and we will have an-
other season’s memories of pic-
nics and swimming, grandmo-
ther's house, the seashore or
Disneyland.
As we seek a respite from the
routines and pressures of our
jobs and responsibilities, we
should always keep with us cer-
tain essential behavioral equip-
ment. As we pursue our vaca-
tion-time activities, an ever
present sense of caution, fore-
thought and consideration for
others in all we do are the first
prerequisites for a safe and hap-
py experience in the Summer of
'72. Pack these attitudes with
your tent, put them in your
boat, carry them in your car. If
you do this, the chances will be
immeasurably enhanced that
you and others whom you meet
with the nostalgic pleasure that
will put a warm spot in your
heart for years to come.
