SPORT                            
 
 
 For the promotion of national health, Strength
through Joy encourages the participation of workers 
in sport beyond the time when they might normally 
cease to have opportunities for bodily exercise. 
The organization induces factories to build
or hire sport fields and arrange competitions, and
itself offers numerous sport courses for which the
fees vary between 20 and 40 pfennigs per one and a
half-hour period of instruction. Strength through
Joy employs about 1,500 instructors and it' is train-
ing a large number of younger workers to serve as its
own sport teachers. It is estimated that in 1937
about 8,000,000 workers took part in Strength through
Joy sports.        
 
 
                        Leisure Time                        
 
 
 The organization of leisure time is cared for
by two offices, that for Leisure Time proper and
that for Popular Educational Work.
 
 
 An inquiry having shown that only a small percentage 
of workers had attended the theater or opera,
Strength through Joy started a "back to the theater"
movement. The organization owns two theaters in
Berlin and one each in Breslau and Munich Where
plays and operas are offered at between 75 pfennigs    
and RM 1 (including the checking of hats and coats).
