Best Time to Take Vacation Is in
Extremely Cold Weather of Winter
Br BRICE BELDEN, M. D.
It is customary with us to take vacations in the summer, although
wo really need them more in winter, when human powers are limited
by low temperature. We arc at our physical test in the autumn and
spring. So it is not because we have been away in the summer that we
feci better in the autumn, but because of the favorable conditions of the
autumn season.
The best work in factories by operatives who take no summer vara
tions is done in the autumn. Such workers are most apt to lay off in
the very cold months, and many factories shut down the week after Christ
mas because of the low energy of the operatives.
Throughout the spring fnctory charts show a rise in the efficiency
curve until about the middle of June, or when the average temperature
is 68 degrees. It then falls as the temperature riseB. During the autumn
the efficiency curve rises at an increasing rate as the temperature is gradu
ally falling, hut when the average temperature falls below 48 degrees the
curve turns downward and reaches its lowest point in January.
The logic of all this is that wc ought to take all our vacations in
January. The reasons why we do not are because we prefer tine weather
for our outings; because most out-of-door sports can be played to better
advantage in the summer, and because sultry summer weather causes
much bodily discomfort. Then we have a notion that cold weather is
‘exhilarating,” and that we don’t need u vacation at such a time because
of this “bracing” quality of the season. The fact is that cold weather
keeps us moving so as to quicken the circulation, which is depressed by
low temperatures, and this activity is erroneously supposed to indicate
a maximum of energy.
