Brown, offers sound advice on how service clubs and other community organizations can invest wisely in a complete recreation program for their communities. The picture stresses the importance of long-range thinking about community recreation, demonstrates the desirability of tax-supported programs, and shows conclusively the pitfalls of private sponsorship.

It presents factual and convincing pictorial evidence of what can be done when all local public and voluntary agencies pool their resources to achieve a common objective. It is a colorful and entertaining story of what can happen when one individual in a community recognizes the need for public recreation facilities and a supervised recreation-forall program and sets out to do something about it. Designed specifically for showing to adult "action" groups — city councils, school boards, park boards, civic, service, fraternal and veteran organizations— this film is an effective aid to stimulating the initiation and expansion of community recreation.
