(Staff Photo) To-day's, health Constructive leisure improves hecilth engaging in a sport -- golf, say, or tennis -- where he become furious and, uptight if he doesn't win. Similarly, a clerical worker might derive greater satisfaction and benefit from leisure activities requiring leadership skills. In any event, the point is th many people become so involved in their work that they never get around to its rewards . . . to enjoying the leisure they've earned. This may be due, in some measifie, to a sort of °lingering puritanism -- the idea that rest is rust. But even for the work addicts -- in fact, ESPECIALLY for such people -- leisure is vital therapy. A change of scene, new learning experiences, regular vacations, sports and hobbies and reading, or"' all of these can refresh and'invigorate. They can help us back into the normal daily routine with a new outlook, a new spirit. The dictionary defines leisure as having one's time free from the demands of work or,duty: You owe it to yourself ,to' make a healthy investment in that freedom.

Like its pronunciation, leisure itself is a matter of individual choice. But there's more to it than just slumping in front of the television set with a bottle of beer. Ideally, leisure should be a change of pace. It should be an opportunity "to recharge' the batteries; a change to break up the routine. And leisure should be both relaxing and stimulating. But it doesn't 'have to be extreme; taking a break need be neither a 10 countries in 10 days whirlwind tour of Europe, or a lotion- daubed, lotus eating lie-in on a beach withotit moving a limb. • -( The secret is to make constructive use of leisure time on He: "Will you marry me?"

Trying to do that by using liquor or tranquillizers is a short-term -- and not very healthy -- solution. A far more effective approach is to get wrapped up in some activity that's both relaxing and enjoyable -- preferably something that contrasts with your work life.
