USING VACATION TIMS WISELY
"T- o rocks ritli pay” is close to being an
American tradition. ’"bother or not T''o
rat eh the clock during rerking hour ay most
of us keep tabs on tho calendar for thoso
pleasant vacation days rhich re rightly
feel ro have earned.
There is a good reason rhy re do and should
get ’’time off" during the year for a vaca
tion. Iiaintairing our mental and physical
health demands' it. Most of us rork herd
the year ruitnd, ’.7c may bo indoors most
of the time; frequently under pressure.
In addition, thero arc homo duties and
responsibilities, To nood a change and a
chanco to got array from routine tasks at
least onco a year.
Vacation time is meant for fun, rest and
relaxation. All throe arc equally import
ant and all como under the heading of
"enjoyment." To don’t all rest, or relax,
or have fun in exactly the same nay.Every
one has his on preferences and ideas,so
there can bo no set guide'for making tho
best use of vacation time, Somo people '
arc satisfied just to stay at home eating,
sleeping and having recreation rhen they
please. Others get most satisfaction out
of a stay at the mountains or the seashore.
In short, Vacation is a period of self
indulgence, in a rise sonsc. It should
leave us thoroughly rested, refreshed and
invigorated. Instoad, there arc often
good grounds for the standard cartoon of
the man returning to tho office, dram
and tired, arm in sling, plastered rith
poison ivy and underneath the caption,
"Kid a Vondorful Vacation!"
A person can ruin his entire -vacation by
trying to "cram" too much into the first
for days. I'odoration, dictated by common
sense, helps us avoid losing precious vaA
cation days in nursing’a painful sunburn,
anointing a bad skin rash from poison ivy
or oak, or suffering ertromo fatigue from
prolonged hours of sr laming and tennis.
Being sensible about vacation activities
can bo just as much and more fun than over
doing it because it makes the entire period
that .much more enjoyable. Some pcoplo havo
the typo of skin that -ill never tan, yot
unrisoly persist in trying to get tail year
after year ”ith disastrous results. Others
forget that tanning is a gradual procoss
that is best acquired by enposuro to the
sun for a'snort tine each day in the late
afternoon. Evoryanc can and should get to
knou his cm endurance in physical sports
and stay mi thin the lira its.
I lest of our unhappy incidcrts during vaca
tion tin- are duo to’the fact that re ig
nore past experience. llo one expects the
vacationer to be actively conscious of
health and safety rules. But is is obvious
that a little caution and moderation rill
give him better "returns” on that precious
tro-rcck "twostment."
