The theme for the 24th Annual Geo rgia Recreation and Park Conference is "The Changing American Society- Our Professio nal Responsibilities." The paramoun t question facing each of us as a professional in the recreation , park and conservation field- ARE WE PREPARED TO MEET THIS CHANGE? Are we prepared to furnish the people of Georgia dynamic an d progressive leadership i n our leisure oriented society? This will be the challenge to our profession in the days al1ead.
We have heard from leading educators, philosophers, scientists and planners that the future of America will present many unbelieva ble phenomena to us in this chosen profession. Briefly let's examine these projections :
By the year 2000, 85 % of the American people will live in urban areas, 60% will have incomes in excess of $10,000 , 90% of the people will live on 1% of the land and the average work week will be 32 hours with two mo nths paid vacation. The projection of the growth of o ur profession in the n ex t five years indicates an increase of 57% in Federal recreation positions , 46% in state positio ns, and 26% in colleges and universities. By the year 1969 , it is anticipated that 5,100 new positions will be open for recreation an d park leaders in the United States .
Therefore it can be seen that the " Recreator" will have an increased responsibility in the changing America . Many opportuni ties will confront the A-1 Recreator as he seeks to provide a challenging program for "free" people . lf he isn't prepared 1 fear lea dership will be a " day late an d a dollar short."
The Recreator of the future will have to be proficiently prepared , the best informed, most professional- EVER . He must not only be co ncern ed with people centered activities and facilities but vitally concerned with the conservation and preservation of our natural resources. Today we live in a time when open space is no longer availa ble, when machinery is doing o ur manual work , in which " posted" signs are place d on our hunting areas and our brooks an d streams are polluted . Surely horizons of to day will virtually explode as the ensuing years ap proach,.... an d the competent recreator will be able to adjust his thinking to encompass the challenges that become his inheritance. THE CHALLENGE IS OURS-DO WE DARE CONQUE R??

BEETHOVEN AND BASKETBALL
A new program for developing the cu ltural life of a community un der the leader hip of the local recreation department is being developed by the University of Georgia' Institute of Community and Area Development. Charles C. Clegg ,Recreation Consultant, and John D. Burke, Arts Consultant, of the Institute's staff, have form ulated ways and means by which a community's recreation department may play a much' roader and comprehensive role in a community's recreation development.
The phiJosophy behind such a development is that the Arts (or Culture) an d Recreation are not really seperate entities but that they are highly complementary factors, the arts being a magnificent resource by which recreation can properly carry out its functions and obligations.
uch a philosophy is not really new to the history of recreation development in the United States. ln fact , in 1900 the fir t steps were taken to combine cultural an d recreational programs in this country. Although limited to simple forms of expression at that time , the alliance of the two grew dynamically under the leader hi p of Joseph Lee in the teens and twenties. Today in cities, large and small , througho ut the country cu iLura l recrealion programs have reached a high point of community commitment and participation. The programs in Waterloo, Iowa, Topeka, Kansas, and Richmond, Virginia, are outstanding example of what a recreation department can do for the cultural development of a community. The programs run by these cities put to shame the cultural commitment of communi tie of much larger size and much greater wealth.
The degree of involvement in the cultural life of a community by each recreation department is relative depending upon local conditions such as budget-limition fa tors, personnel limitations, and the degree of cultural competency in the community. However thee factor only limit the degree of the recreation department's involvement. ln almo t every case, the recreation department can act as either a cataly tor an active agent to improve the cultural life of a community.
Mr. Clegg and Mr. Burke have already been active in lJSSisting recreation departments in three areas of the state to become more involved with the arts. The Brunswick Recreation Department under the leadership of "Sonny" Miller, ha already completed plan for forming an arts council in the city. His assistant Mi Brad haw, with the aid of Mr. Clegg and Mr. Burke, ha set up a working organization for all the art in the city to act in a unified manner to enrich its cultural life. The Gainesville Recreati n Department has taken steps in formulating a imilar organization , and Donal dsonville has req ue ted similar ai d to assist it in a b roader development of a c ultural recreation program for the community .
Much more can be done throughout the re t of the state. There is little to deny the fact that such a cultural recreational alliance could become statewide and an examp le for the entire Southeast. Recreation leaders are urged to contact either Mr. Burke or Mr. Clegg at the University for development of a program that will work with their community.

Southwestern State Hospital , Thomasville Branch was opened during the summer of 1966 on the site of the former Veterans Administration Domicilary. The residents were transfers from Central State Hospital at Milledgeville and Gracewood State Hospital at Augusta. The Bainbridge Branch was opened on June 20, 1967 on tl1e site on the former Lynn Air Force Base . The residents at Bainbridge are transfers from Thomasville.
The hospital is designed to maintain an acceptable retreatment and rehabilitation prog ram for long term mental residents, ages J 6 to 60 who are able to care for their personal h ygiene, are not a security risk, and who can be helped to learn new methods of adj ustment to tl1e world which has developed during their long absence . The hospi tal is "open" which means the ward units are not locked except at night. At presen t there are 1,258 residents on tlle roll, with 862 in Thomasville and 396 in Bai nbrid ge.
Here at Southwestern there are specially traine d staffs in Socia l Service, Psychology, Industrial Therapy, Music The rapy Volunteer Services, Recreation Therapy, as well as a very competent nursing staff. T hese departmen ts aid tremendously in retu rni ng 20% of our residents back to society.
At presen t , the Recreation Department at Southwestern consist of a Recreation Director, one t hera pist which is in charge of the activities in Bainbri dge an d six recreation leaders . There are planned activities each day for the residents as well as o ther activities which gives them a right to choose the activity that they would like to participate in . .We believe this is important for the residents so that they can begin making t heir own decisions, with the end result then being able to ret urn back to society. Our recreation program is designed to stress participation rather tlla n acco mplishi ng the art of the activity. We hope that we can teach the residents some activity they can carry with them from the hospital so the activity can serve as a release from their te nsions an d fr ustrations when they return to society.
Our activities and fa cilitie consist of an air-con ditioned recreation hal l that has three shuffleboard courts, sea ts, a regular stage used fo r talent shows, dramatics , and a full length mo tion picture scree n which is used every week . One of our most used facilities is o ur biUard room, which consist of six regulation billard tables, two ping pong tables and two skee ball mac hines. At Southwestern we are fo rtu nate in having a regulation four lane bowling alley which, with the help of volunteers an d staff we are able to teach the residents h ow to bowl. Our gym is use d not onl y for baske tball and other indoor activiti es but al o to house the annual Thomasville Rose Sho w. Outside facilities include putt putt go lf, soft ball and foot ball fiel ds and a very nice fo ur acre pond for fis hing. Special aclivitie are co nducted ofte n as well as a fine arts an d crafts program, incl uding knitting, art, q uilting and others.
At Bainbridge o ur fa cili ties are limited bu t tremendous progress has been made in initiating a successful recrea tion program . The Bain bridge Branch has essentially the sam e facili ties as Thomasville and other facilities are expected to be added soon.
Our Recreati on Program at Southwestern is striving to accomplish three main points :
1. Not to let an individual K.lLL tim e, but to make time live .
2 . Not to let an individual SERVE time, bu t rather to make time serve him.
3. Not to Jet an in dividual LOSE himself, bu t ratller to help him fin d his true self.

THE FUTURE OF GOLF
Will there be a continued need for more golf courses? On the basis of expected population growth alone it is doubtful that there will ever be enough golf courses to meet the growing demand. In 1931 there was one go! f course for approximately every 21 ,000 persons in the nation . Today , with a pop ul ation of 196 million there is a golf course for ever 22 ,585 people . The population will continue - expected to increase another 20 million by 1970; 40 million by 1975.
