Earth a
Vacation
Last week there was no issue
of this paper—Holidays was the
word from the top office—yes,
holidays! To many farm people
this sounds absurd. Holidays',
snorted an old farmer, Holidays
are for kids!
Now, we don’t agree with that
venerable old gentleman. Holi
days are not just for kids. They
are for everybody. And that in
cludes farmers, too. All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy.
True, isn’t it? According to Web
ster's dictionary, a holiday is a
day of freedom from labours.
What constitutes a
day? To use another
change is as good as a
city dwellers race to
resorts and the country. The fur
ther they can get away from
other people, the better they like
it. Some prefer the real wilder
ness and nine times out of ten
these people come from the larg
er cities. Others seem to prefer
a sandy beach, a hot sun, and a
cottage.
But what about the farm peo
ple? What do they feel makes a
holiday? Amazing, but true,
of them head for a distant city.
The larger, the better. They like
to live in a hotel, ride the sub
ways, watch the thronging crowds
scurrying in and out of the large
buildings like ants in a hill and
bees in a hive.
What makes people do these
things? We venture to say
physically the farmer would
felt better if he had gone
the wilderness and fished,
head would not have ached from
the dirt and noise of the city
The city dwellers, who holidayed
fishing and whose ulcers reacted
unfavourably along with his soft
muscles, would have been more
rested if he had gone to that good
hotel for two weeks.
We vaguely remember reading
an article “It’s the same old sun '
somewhere.
It pointed out that -to anyone
who really wanted a holiday in
accordance to Webster’s concep
tion, there is more than enough
things underfoot to make a free-
labours enjoyable.Ifdam from
