Today, more than ever before, with shorter working hours for everyone, this principle of education is mov- ing to the top of the list. Everyone needs to know how to play if he is to be healthy and happy. One of the finest kinds of recreation is en- joying one's self out of doors. Any kind of play that takes a person outside is especially refresh- ing. Whether he dashes around a baseball dia- mond or quietly hikes along a mountain trail, he soon feels like a new person. The fresh air, the change of pace, and being a little closer to na- ture all make him feel much different. Nature has provided many ways for everyone in Grove to enjoy himself out of doors. Mount- ains, streams, woods, and a lake all provide us with many natural recreation centers. Here we can fish, hunt, row boats, swim, ride horseback, golf, water ski, hike, picnic, or just plain rest and enjoy the clean, fresh air. No matter what a person's age - no matter what he likes to do - he can always find some interesting and healthy form of recreation. Grove is truly a playground for everyone !

Or sneaking through moist woods at dawn, shotgun or bow ready, in a stalk that climaxes abruptly in the crashing of brush and a split- second, now-or-never chance at a bounding white- tail buck.

Grand Lake, in that regard, is something of an enormous sample bowl, its 55,000 acres teeming with all the more desirable varieties and some that, while not so desirable, still provide a sort of off- beat sport. And if there's a species lacking - such as, for instance, the smallmouth bass - then look in Grand Lake's tributary streams, and you're apt to find it. Number one fish, on the bases of population and eating quality, is the white crappie, whose Grand Lake millions have drawn fishermen from many distant points. Toothsome and sweet, the crappie is responsible, as well, for construction of of luxuriously appointed enclosed, heated fishing docks . There's good fishing, too, for the largemouth bass and his close relative, the Kentucky, or bass, although both those names actually misnomers. The black basses belong to the sun- family, not the bass family. Oklahoma has only one true bass, the white with which Grand Lake is amply stocked. lt's species which provides, on occasion, the fast- fishing in the area. There are channel catfish, flathead catfish, Cspoonbilll, buffalo, drum, carp, and so down the ladder of desirability.

For that reason, it can be assumed that it has an elemental appeal. As far back as history goes, men have been swing- ing with some sort of stick at some sort of a ball. Nobody is more enthusiastic about his sport than an enthusiastic golfer. Until little more than a year ago Grove golfers, and golfers vacationing here, had either to drive to other cities to play their rounds or to suffer the de- spondency of golfless days. Then a club was organized and a nine-hole course constructed just east of the city. It has been a busy place ever since. Golf is a truly universal game, no outpost so remote, no country so unenlightened that it hasn't itsgolfers. When the first space ship lands on Mars, there'1l be little green men yelling fore -- and there'll be immediate brotherhood between them and the pilot, who probably brought his clubs. Golf has the virtue of being a game that one can play enjoyably alone, in which case his score can be any convenient figure that he cares to make it. Golf is the sport of kings, commoncrs - and lke - and you can have it. ff.

And the Grand Lake country is a fine place for it. Almost anyone can picnic, it being one sport that requires no experience and no instruction. Pri- mary requirement is that the participant be able to Cat. People make all kinds of jokes about picnics, particularly about ants in the butter and sand in the potato salad. Nevertheless, the picnic is a time-honored American institution, like bubble gum and the World Series. The difference in a picnic and just eating too much lies in the location. At home, with your feet under the table, you could eat twice as much, and it still wouldn't be a picnic.

Leading the fleet, money-wise and luxury-wise, are twin-screw Cruisers up to fifty feet in length that only million- aires can afford to maintain.
