David Woods Whether you pronounce it to rhyme with pleasure or seizure, leisure is extremely impOrtant to your health and well-being. Like its pronunciation, leisum itself is a matter of individual choice. But there's more to it than, just slumping in front .of the tele- vision set with a bottle of beer. , Ideally, leisure should be a change of pace. It should be an Opportunity to recharge the bat teries; 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 coun- tries in 10 days whirlwind tour of Europe, nor a lotion-daubed, lotus eating lie-in on a' beach without moving a. limb. The secret is to make construc7 tive use/of leisure time on a regular basis. After all, most of us need to let off steam . . . to get rid of the pres- sUres of modern living. Trying to do that by using liquor or tran- quillizers is a short-term — and note very healthy— solution. s A far more effective approach is to. get wrapped up` in sdme activity that's both relaxing and enjoyable — preferably something that con- trasts with your work life. For example, the highly competitive executive might be better off paint- ing or sailing than engaging in, a sport — golf, ' say, or tennis — where he becomes furious and up- tight 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, that many people become so involved,. in their work that they never get r around to its rewards . . to enjoy- ing the leisure they've earned. This may be due, in some meas- ure, to a sort of lingering puritanism News From Huronview The Clinton Christian Reformed Church formed a choir to provide the music for the. Sunday evening song service led by Dick Roorda. Mrs. Bean of Goderich was welcoMed to the Home at Monday afternoon's activities. Marie Flynn and Norman Speir provided the old tyme music and led 'the sing song . With step dance numbers by Debbie Flynn. Mrs. Elsie Hender- son accompanied Nelson Lear and Morgan Dalton with vocal solos. The Brussels Legion Pipe Band entertained on "Family Night" with a band concert on the front lawn. The weather was ideal for the program outdoors with several taking advantage of the open windows on the, west side Of the Home. The Band is directed by Tom McFarlane with' three of the members playing solo numbers on the. pipes. — the idea that rest is rust.

A change of scene, new learning experiences, regular vacations; sports and hobbies and readingi or all of these can refresh, and ifivig- orate. They can help us back into the normal daily routine with a new outlook, a new spirit. The dietiOnary 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. gust) Lip mow Iss Is Rrial We can't knock the Davis Government We can't praise it either. The law won't let us.
