Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Motion Picture in a World at War: Twentieth Anniversary Report to the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc
Relaxation is one of the indispensable elements of public health at a time when human energies are taxed to the utmost, and nerves are strained to the breaking point. In a statement on March 10, 1942, made in response to numerous letters of inquiry concerning the place of recreation during war time, the President said: It is, of course, obvious that the war effort is the primary task of everybody in the nation. All other activities must be considered secondary.
Such recreation may come by participation in or attend ance at various sports, motion pictures, music, the drama, picnics, etc. All of them have a necessary and beneficial part in promoting an over-all efficiency by relieving the strains of war and work.
