Return From Vacation
Becomes Real Ordeal
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (iTI—Returning from
a vacation is much more of an
ordeal than going on one.
There is a thing called the "post-
vacation blues," a hangover dis-
ease from a sprightly spree in
freedom. Maybe half the adult
working population of America is
suffering from this seasonal epi-
demic ailment at this moment.
One returns from a summer va-
cation ti> his daily bread-and-but-
ter chores with the hypnotic feel-
ing of a wild bird fixed by the
steady beady gaze of a snake. The
jdb a man lives by holds no glory;
he groans in his rut; he feels no
victory in accepting his usual in-
sulting weekly paycheck.
Did any man in the history of
the world ever come back from a
vacation and meet a raise in pay?
What a delirious dream! "Wel-
come home, Jones," says the boss.
"Boy, have we missed you! If you
find a few extra bucks in your
next envelope don't think it's a
mistake."
Lacking this surprise, the ordi-
nary vacationer comes back to his
daily tasks in office or factory
Vith a split-leg regret. One foot
faithfully plods toward the regu-
lar routine, the other holds back
in a desperate toe-clutch on a last
lost liberty.
What can a man do to avoid
this straddle of mind and body?
How can a man adjust to the prob-
lems created by the death of a
vacation?
Here are a few how-to-do-it sug-
gestions to cushion the shock of
actually having to earn your own
lining again;
1. Inherit money during your va-
cation. There is no point in be-
laboring this idea further. Its ad-
vantages are obvious.
2. Try to get called for jury duty.
The pay is small, but your boss
can hardly fire you if you plead
guilty to serving the Republic.
3. Grow an ulcer. Employers are
notoriously sympathetic toward
this ailment because, since they
are susceptible to it themselves,
they are sure that anyone afflicted
with it is dedicated to his job. They

will be particularly impressed by
the fact you developed the ulcer
during your time off from your
work.
4. Take up a new hobby, such
as bird watching, or—if you're the
indoor type—girl watching. Noth-
ing will pep up your living more
than your first thrilling glimpse
of a rose-breasted grosbeak trilling
on a bough or a tufted secretary
at bay on an office limb.
5. Go on a diet. If you are nor-
mal you probably gained a pound
a day on your vacation. A fellow
is duty bound to if he stayed at
a hotei on the American plan,
which calls for three square meals
a day.
6. If you are single, go ahead
and marry the girl you met at
that summer resort and made all
those sunshine promises to. Mar-
riage will end any man's vacation.
7. If you are already wed, tell
your wife you'd like a divorce so
you can marry a blonde you met
on the beach, she'll want to know
which blonde you have in mind,
and this will result in interesting
and stimulating family conversa-
tions that will keep the memory
of your vacation alive for months
and months.
8. Simply buckle down again to
work and face the fact that vaca-
tion is over. Of course, if you can
actually do this it proves you are
a born leader and don't really be-
long in the employe class at all.
9. Inherit money. When you
come down to it, this is the first
and last solution. Summon your
strength and try to inherit as much
money as you can. The more you
have the more you have to count
while waiting for your next vaca-
tion.
Here one sound and simple rule
applies. If at all possible, the
money should be inherited from
other members of your family.
Money inherited from strangers
always causes local gossip.
Rubber Gloves
Found In Con
ABERGAVENNY, Wales Wl —
Mrs. Peggy Jones opened a can
of South African pineapple for her
children — and screamed for her
husband.
"There's a human hand in it,"
she said.
Closer investigation disclosed a
pair of pink rubber gloves had
been filled wilh pineapple juice
and stuffed into the can.
After registering a complaint,
she received a letter of apology
from the makers — and two fresh
cans.
"We can only assume it was
sabotage," they said.

MUNICH, Germany MPI — Soviet
stations kept up their customary
jamming of the Voice of America
today while the U. S. goverment
station repeated a broadcast to
Russia by the head of Russian
larin delegation in America.
Engineers at the VOA's relay

riculture who led the Russian farm
tour of the United States.
Matskevich said in his broadcast
Sweetwater Reporter, Texas, Friday, August 26, 1955

that may be applied iti the state
and collective farms of the Soviet
Union."
