In Praise of Vacation

Milwaukee Sentinel: Summer is
officially here, and the voice of the
vacationists is heard in the land.
The time for summer recreation
has come, and the day when business
men took queer sort OF pride In
never taking a rest, when employees
received scant vacations as favor,
has gone the way of many other old
fashioned notions based on false ideas
of economics and humanity.
Vacations are here to stay. They
have become a part of the business
system and a recognized institution,
not kindly or grudgingly given favor
to the employee, but benefit to bust
ness. And the 'boss" realizes that
his own release from care and worry
for time is a source of production.
Vacations are not only pleasure.
That is only one of their elements.
1t is an element which makes the bene
fits possible. They are builders of
body and mind, broadeners, strength
eners of the mind even more than of
the body.
1t doesn't make any difference what
you do on a vacation-driving the
car through the Berkshires or west
wand to the coast, taking muskies
from a northern lake, tramping
through the Kickapoo valley, cruising
over the Great Lakes, studying the
gulls ON Gravel island, golfing at the
country club, or running over to settle
the affairs of Europe-if it is change
from the day by day life of the year,
it is a benefit.
