U.S. SAVINGS BONDS SHOP IN McHENRY { OUR NO. 1 SPORT " The next time you sit down at a card table with friends for a pleasant game of Canasta, Bridge, Gin Rummy or Poker, you'll have a lot of company. For no matter which one of the hundreds of card games you play, you're enj o y i n g t h e \ ^ £ ' 4 ^ most pop- ™ ular sport « in America --card playing! That's the claim made by the Association . of American P l a y i n g Card Manufacturers after many hours of computation with slide rule and comptometer. The Association estimates conservatively that at least one billion two hundred million (1,200,000,- 000) hours are devoted yearly to card playing, in the United Slates. Here's how it arrived at this staggering total. The Association says that each year since World II at least 60 million packs of cards have been sold; in this country. It is estimated that an average of four people use a deck and the life of the average deck Is SJ conservatively placed at Ave hoursof solid play. So, by this reasoning, sixty million pacfts times four players per pack times five consecutive hours of play comes out to 1,200,000,000 hours-- which the Association believes is a 4 greater number of hours than are given to any other sport or game. To offset any Criticism of "padding the figures," the card manufacturers"--•• point out that these figures are all minimum, since more than 60 million & packs are sold annually and decks are frequently used for more than | five hours of pliy. They add that many card games, such as Poker, - Hearts, some forms of Rummy, and Michigan are Usually played by five or more people, ata-tinvr - The estimate that decks- are frequently used for more than five hours of solid play seems far too conservative. Most households have at least One deck that's seen at least ten years ' or more of service. Just take a close look at that dog-eared paCk in your ® desk drawer and you'll agree.
