THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 PAGE TWENTY-THREE ---- Vets Hold Huge Picnic at Exhibition Grounds ¥ i SPORTS MUSIC AND GAMES EN LIVEN OUTING FOR DISABLED VETERANS The annual civic picnic for the blind and disabled war veterans at Exhibition Park, Toroto, on Mon- fay, was an outstading success. fay, was an outstanding success. dies, cigarettes and cigars, vaude- ville, softball and a dinner for 1,200 all combined to make the event a gay and happy one for the war-torn men and their families.

No Job is Worth It Don't Sit at Your Desk, Stubbornly Oblivious to the Outdoor Call to Play, in Rabid Conscientiousness, or, maybe, fear, and claim that you cannot afford to (By Anne Merrill in The Business Woman) When you hear the woods call- Ing--when you hear the birds call- ng--when you can by a magical jeap of the imagination hear the roses of June calling--are you go- ing to remain at your desk in any stuffy, noisy office in a town full of turmoil, and allow some shrewd, money-making manager to per- juade you that you cannot afford io take a holiday? It is high time to break disci- pline and talk back to him, Tell him that a bigger man than he has said that no man--and certainly no woman-----can afford not to take rolidays. At this time of the year, when ill the outdoor happy voices are urging us to come out and play, the business woman who puts her hands over her ears, who sits stub- bornly at her desk in a state of rabid conscientiousness--or maybe fear--is a pitiable creature. She clutches her job nervously lest it be snatched from her. Should she relax her hold, the worst might happen. The manager might dis- cover, during her two-wkeks' abb- sence, that the office could carry on .indefinitely without her. That would be a terrible disaster--that discovery. And so she listens to the flatter- ing suggestion that her presence 18 needed. She hangs on to her job. That is, soma women do. But NO job is worth it, worth losing one's health and one's san- ity by hanging on too long. Dr. Luther H. Gulick, once di- rector of physical training in the New York city schools, said the successful individual was that per- son who had sufficient strength of will to stop working. To do this, he declared, took a degree of con- scientiousness that was pretty rare. The easy thing, the obvious thing (he pointed out), for the fatihful person, was to keep right on work- ing. The hard thing was to stop, to have the intelligence to know when the breaking point was reached. He sald if business concerns only realized it---and he thought the better ones were doing so---they would insist that their staff take longer holidays and work fewer hours. He mentioned the sytsem in force in the Bank of England where there was tremendous re- sponsibility, and where it was long ago discovered to be really cheap- er to employ the clerks only three or four hours per day. It was found to be better to employ more men than it was to have few- er men' working longer hours and "making costly mistakes." Gulick, in his book "Mind ana Work," has a chapter on fatigue, Special Holiday Prices VACATION TIME IS HERE See our full line of Sweaters Blouses Lingerie Hosiery Gloves Kimonas Coolie Coats 'and Accessories "No fatigued person can see things straight," in his opinion. And again, "'Fatigue promptly attacks and -destroys our sense of propor- tion," With regard to work, he ad- vises that "big things shouja be done first," when the mind is fresh, and that 'nothing uses up nervous energy faster than a long series of fussy responsibilities." When one works, on top of fa- tigue, one is only "carrying through on sheer nerve," says this doctor, and which is "about as cost- ly an undertaking as a man can venture on." He might well have added--or a woman, -. . » LJ Fatigue lowers our power of control and when {rritabitiity over- takes us, it is then time, suggests Gulick, to hoist the white flag of relaxation. He mentions a symp- tom or two, and they will find an echo in every Tired Business Wo- man's soul: How a noise that you will hear when you are rested win be "perfectly distracting when you are tired." How you will go over and shut a window, or pick up a plece of paper from the floor-- aimlessly-----and how the 'faint cackle of a distant gramophone' (or now he would have said, the regular beating of the jazzy radio), "would make you furious." Instead of making the nervous system a less responsive instru- ment, Gulick finds fatigue "makes it more responsive----but less ser- viceable."" "Irritability, weakness--these two words belong together. One who is constantly fatigued can uer- ther work well nor live well, and he is certainly very hard to Ive with." Observers have found that wo- men do not relax as readily as men. They keep a nervous hold on what- ever they are doing. I perhaps did not exaggerate much when I ecall- ed it a clutch. An English writer refers to this habit as "constancy" and speaks of it as a doubtful vir- tue. g Constancy to a trade or handi- craft, he says, when it ceases to be interesing and is merely monot- onous, '"'can be carried to a point at which it becomes merely stick- in-the-mud." Some women do not seem to re- lax even on a holiday--poor things, Fred Jacob, in his book 'Pee Vee," remarked this. Thus: * "Suddenly Pee Vee found him- self noticing that Bess, on a holi- day, did not relax the severity of her clothes. He wished she were not so excessively tailor-made." Have you not seen many a Bess at the fashionable summer resort-- the severely and most correctly dressed woman who made you tir- ed just to look at her, Would she ever unbend suffici- ently to get into a hammock or lie in the sun on the sand? Perish the thought and perish the immaculate dress, How Norman Douglas would have laughed at her type had he run across her on his amazing is- land of Nepenthe in the "South Wind." He did not say of a simi- lar type: "Ouly invertebrate folks do not unbend. They dare not be- cause they have no backbone. They know that if they once -unbenc they could not sraighten themselves out again, They make a virtue uv. their own organic defect." Norman Douglas. speaks of a great man's "unconquerable play- fulness in grave concerns." He had the holiday spirit. He could relax, But how few women have that '"'unconquerable playfulness." Most of us are too terribly in earnest. We think we have a Cause--not only' with a capital "C," but with all the other latters in an upper case, As a Member of Parliament in England said the other day, the "deadly seriousness of women nad taken all the joy out of politics." * We go to extremes, finding it difficult to be decently good with- out becoming anchorites, like an- other type described by Norman Douglas--the character who "flit- ted about like a draught of cold air refusing all refreshment and not even daring to smell the flow- ers lest he derive "a pleasurable sensation." His harsh and abstem- ious habits gave every social gath- ering that he frequented a chill. A person should extract as much happiness as possible out of his spare time, his holiday time. Doug- las believes, adding that the secret of happiness is curiosity--curio- sity satisfied, I suppose he means, The subject of dress beckons me again, through a fascinating arti- cle on the Psychology of Clothes by Helen Sumner Manson. She quer- ies intriquingly: "Does a new dress that is becoming give us a feeling of elation, while a shabby one we never liked makes us have a dull, morbid outlook?" Of course it does, Miss Manson proves both beyond question. And so for our holiday let us pack not only our comfy things, for all wea- thers--but our prettiest things as well. Let us get clothes as far re- moved from the business uniform as we can. Let us be a bit dash. ing--dislocating, in fact. Instead of filling our suit-cases with all the old, half-worn things, thinking holidays will be just the time to "wear them out," let us be extravagant.
