With an older and less adventurous population, demographers predict, there will be less pressure on the nation's congested beaches, lakes, waterways, hiking trails, ski slopes and wilderness areas -while sales of art supplies, mah-jongg, backgammon, books and endless variations of electronic games should soar. The station wagon, the Patton tank of suburbia, may be replaced by smaller cars.
