The purpose of this survey _was to determine county residents* interests on a personal, county l and general level; also their hobbies and free time activities; and whether the residents would be willing to share interests with other county residents. It was felt that this information would be helpful in working with county people from the Extension standpoint and also helpful to civic clubs and organizations.
