In these days of nerve strain, vacations and periods of
rest become all the more important to the average citizen in
his first defense duty—to keep himself fit. Vacations are now
regarded by business men generally as an investment. The
man who boasts that he never takes a vacation will some day
take a very long one from which he will not return.

The President, in the midst of gruelling responsibilities,
has learned how to get oway from the strait at frequent short
intervals, which has enabled him to stand up to a job that has
wrecked the health of most men who have held it. The aver-
age man cannot enjoy the President’s privileges, but anyone
who has learned the art of mental and physical diversion can
find similar surcease from regular tasks.

Vacationing requires some study by each individual to find
the sort of change that suits him best. Recreation should
mean literally re-creation of mental and physical powers. Too
many vacations are wreck-reations. In the mad rush to
synthetic amusements, most Americans run themselves to
death trying to find happiness and have to recover from their
vacations.

First of all, a vacation must be earned to be enjoyed.
Plutarch said “rest is the sweet sauce of labor” and Homer
said “too much rest itself becomes a pain.” The happiest
people are busy people who know how to add the sauce of
frequent periods of doing something different? The art of
getting the most benefit from the vacation requires inner re-
sources of mind and heart that can revel in a day in the woods
become engrossed in the miracles of nature, lose one’s self in
a book or a game or find release for creative desires in making
a garden or a stamp collection or fashioning things with tools.
Parks and playgrounds and beautyspots throughout this lovely
land of ours near at home, present avenues of escape to those
who have learned the “open sesame” of joy in a sunset or an
understanding of trees.
He who is on such good terms with himself that he is not
afraid to be alone with his thoughts, can take a vacation any
time, anywhere, and come back to his labor with renewed
vigor.
