I gotta go back to the mention of chess. I had never ever heard of that before so I just looked it up in the CD rom and indeed they did make a big deal about it at one time. The Awake from March 22 1973 had a rambling article that sums up this way... Then, too, grown-ups may not consider it proper for children to play with war toys, or at games of a military nature. Is it consistent, then, that they play a game noted to be, in the opinion of some, an ?intellectualized equivalent of the maneuvers enacted by little boys with toy soldiers?? What effect does playing chess really have upon one? Is it a wholesome effect? Surely chess is a fascinating game. But there are questions regarding it that are good for each one who plays chess to consider.

It goes back to 1973 when Bobby Fisher was on the news, most Bethelites took up chess and Brooklyn Bethel had bethelites playing chess all over the place, hence the socirt came up with that article and all of a sudden Bethelelies got their minds off che3ss and stopped palying the game, and a lot of bros stopped playing too because of their christrian trained conciencesd would not allow it. I played however but no one ever hassled me.
