As previously indicated, there is little association
between stage in the life cycle and membership rates for
either Krum or Denton. The outcome remains the same when
time spent is used to denote amount of participation.
For those with no children, little difference exists be-
tween Krum and Denton respondents, although Dentonites
spend slightly more time participating weekly. There is
a more marked tendency for the residents of Denton who have
preschool age children to spend more time participating
than those in Krum. The difference between Krum and Denton
results in a Tau of .05 for those having school age children
with twenty-six per cent of Dentonites, as compared with
none of the Krum residents, spending ten or more hours
participating. More Krum than Denton respondents spend
no time participating. Krum residents may spend more time
engaged in spectator activities, e.g., basketball games,
than Denton residents; a possible area for future study.
Little difference exists in the participation patterns of
respondents with children over eighteen regardless of
place of residence. The results of this study are such
that all aspects of the fourth hypothesis must be rejected.

The fifth hypothesis states that homeowners in Krum will
participate more than those in Denton. Once again the hypoth-
esis must be rejected because homeowners in Denton participate
