Abstract:

Programs within our homes seem to be changing from an arts and crafts orientation to more intellectually stimulating programs. At one time synagogue services and weekly movies were the primary recreational activities. Now programs are addressed to the interests and needs of better educated residents, who are culturally aware of their American heritage, attuned to political candidates and issues, and on a higher socioeconomic level than ever before.
