S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1951 Ho Huns! (A CWNA Editorial) NOWADAYS, nearly everyone has more leisure tithe than ever before. Weekly work- ing hours are shorter, holidays are more num- erous and modern gadgets make work around the home easier. But leisure time andrelaaca- tion are not necessarily the same. Most of us work just about as hard filling up our leisure time with "useful" pursuits or with frantic recreation as we do on the job. For a lot of us the ability to take life easy is a lost, art. We have forgotten how to relax:We would like to suggest a prescrip- tion to help all of 'us regain the true art of relaxation, Pick a warm sunny summer day. Find a quiet spot in garden or park and choose a tail leafy /tree. Then tie down under the tree on the grass. What more delightful feeling is there than that drowsy sense of idleness that comes when • one lies staring through leafy branches. at the„ bright sky beyond? Then, if we let our minds wander, we will find ourselves free from all the worries and problems of our daily living and we will achieve a mental state of utter detachment. We believe that keeping up with the times, being conversant with the problems that con- front our modern civilization—ithe threat of communism, industrial disputes, hot end cold wars, spiralling prices and all the other factors that make this a heotic age --is a sign of healthy citizenship of our .own land .and of the world, But when4.yae'find our nerves rubbed raw and our fear of the shape of things to come getting the batter of as, the best thing we can do is stretch out under a tree and just relax. • Laziness, in moderation of course, is a worthwhile art that many of us need to regain so that we may renew the vigor of our minds and bodies to meet the pressure of these ener- getic times in which we live, Outwit Your Nerves YEARS AGO, a wealthy woman of leisure consulted Dr. ` Walter C. 'Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic, to find out why she always felt tired although she had little to do. He turned the question back to her. After a moment's thought she answered, "I wear myself out." Her answer is the key to the "nervous breakdowns" which are becoming all too com- mon. People wear themselves out with petty worries. One way to live more easily with your nerves is to get acquainted with the tricks they play. on you, according to Dr. Alvarez, whose recent book "How to Live With Your Nerves" is condensed in a recent Reader's Digest. Sometimes the cause is apparent, as in the case of the businessman who suffered heart palpitations the day he had to dismiss an old employee. In other cases, the cause is obscure, and may be hereditary. But Dr. Alvarez offers reassurance that, even if nerv- ousness runs in your family, you can learn to control the tendencies. Dr. Alvarez says that he faced failure and poor health because he inherited his mothers bad nerves. Hence 'he resolved to emulateher virtues while avoiding her follies, such as worrying and living life the hard way. This schooling enabled him to hoard enough energy for two jobs: one earning a living and the other researching, writing, teaching and lecturing. He even found he had time left over for hobbies. Dr. Alvarez's rules for living include get- ting enough sleep, rest, and recreation, and learning to do as many things as possible auto- matically so that you don't waste energy on things that don't matter- Heillustrates with e the story of how a mountaineer, watching the late Stewart Edward White sawing violently on a log, remarked that he sawed like all city fellows—as fast as he could. "Now," said the old man, "when I saw, I just saws." People with tense nerves could almost cure -them- selves by learning to "just saw." Tackle one job at a time and don't worry about the next one until it's done. Everyone Spends EXCEPT FOR -THE WORK that is back of it and gives it value in available goods and services, a dollar bill is worth only the paper on which it is printed, contends The Rural Scene. Everybody who spends money spends either his own or someone else's work. If the spend- er has not done enough work to give his dollar bill a value of 100 cents, someone else must have done enough work to give it full value if the spender is to get full value for it. The present low real value of our dollar is proof that Canadians have failed to do en- ough work to give it full value in goods and services. In addition Ito producing the eco- nomic waste of preparedness, we must produce enough civilian goods to maintain en honest dollar or cut down on the supply and spending of dollars. Nothing the government can do, except collecting enough taxes to keep the work done to produce the supply of dollars in balance can save us from the consequences of trying to gettoo much for too little, the paper warns. The workweek consistent with health and maximum production must be established in every industry before the dollar can be given its highest possible value in present world conditions. When Prices Get To High A NEW SUBSTITUTE. for wool will be on the Canadian market ido'on;, It's called Cupranra. It is said to look, feel, and wear like wool, but costs only a fraction as much, says The Financial Post. It's the old, old story. In the last eighteen months the price of wool has shot to record heights. Naturally there was a new scramble for substitutes end someone remembered Cuprama. a new syn- thetic product originated in Germany, Wool producers may not welcome this development, ;but consumers will certainly cheer, even if they never have to use it. It gets them out of that tight place where it is `take this, or do without." Since the world began innumerable at- tempts have been made to corner the market for some product or service, or hold out for higher and higher prices. But in the end they all fail and they will continue to fail so long as we continue to encourage initiative, enter- prise and honest competition. The fellow who pulls on the oars hasn't got time to rock the boat. True religion is the life we live and not the creed we profess.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE 4 } There is a lot of loose talk about the inadequacy of the Can- ada Temperance Act, in spite of the fact that life goes on very. quietly in Canada Temperance Act territory. Not nearly enough thought is being given to the alternative to the Canada Temp- erance Act. The Ontario. Liquor Control Act is the alternative. It opens up outlets -liquor stores, beverage rooms, cocktail lounges. With outlets there is more liquor and more drinking and more law- breaking and more bootlegging. If some of the disgruntled, loose - talking people of Huron would live for a while in any town under the Liquor Control Act and see how much worse con- ditions, are there than in Huron then, they would surely stop sug- gesting that we jump from the. frying pan into the fire, 27-13 (This advertisement is inserted by Huron Temperance Federation.
