Description: Three stories related to the topics of youth and recreation. In the first Field-Marshall Montgomery reopens the Paddington Recreation Ground, which has been allotments during the second world war. He cuts a ribbon at the gate of the children's section and boys and girls rush into the playing field. The second story records a youth trip to the tulip fields of Holland, the city of Edam, and its port of Volendam. The third story ending the piece reveals a balancing baby in Sydney. A man places his newborn infant's feet into the palm of his hand and releases him to stand unaided.
