Publisher's Synopsis

In Ontario in the 1950s play was a serious business. The goverment funded a cadre of recreation directors between 1945 and 1961 to foster a democratic and participatory society, with community activities. Tillotson discusses this scheme, and how it went rapidly into a tailspin.
