Golfing Week=ends Poor Substitute For Daily Exercise Golfing week-ends are poor sub- stitute for daily exercise in keeping the executive fit, according ta Dr. Milton G. Townsend, medical direc- tor of Northern Electric Co„ Mon- treal, Dr, Townsend told the alst` an- nual meeting of the Health League of Canada curling, bowling and table tennis were probably More suitable games for providing regu- lar exercise. "Curling is a good winter pas- time which can be indulged in sev- eral times weekly. It Is also a game .vhich can be played well into old age. Bowling—lawn or alley—is another excellent pastime which can be played frequently and con- enued into advanced years, "I would like to suggest still 'an- other game that will help to keep you fit—table tennis. "Contrary to what some people may think, table tennis is rat in the same class as tiddly winks, It is a game which sharpens your eye and reflexes and provides excellent bending and stooping exercises in retrieving the ball from the floor. A daily half hour of table tennis is one simple and inexpensive way of supplementing the baste exeraises." - "Keeping fit pays valuable divis- dends," Dr. Townsend said. The fit executive is much less eubpeet to fatigue. He is much better able to cope with the Stress and tension which is associated with today's competitive business, Psychiatrists have found that daily 'Itemise reed recreation are power- ful antidotes to emotional upsets which appear to be on the increase today. 4EN'S SUMMER suns SAO SACKS NO LONfiER Worneree clothes change by rev- olution, men's by evolution. 'Men simply will not accept the wide swings of fashion so dear to the ladies' hearts, but even the most conservative male is a good deal wiser than he used to be about his clothing. In comfort,. for instance, he has made spectacular progress. Not so many years ago the so-called "summer suit" was entirely unsuit- ed to Its purpose. It was distia- guished more by its color than by any pretense to hot-weather design in either fabric or construction. The "ice cream" shades made the wearer look summery but did nail- ing for his comfort. Lately, men have become daring enough to accept suiting fabrics unheard of ten years ago. Man- made fabrics have put an end to the limpness which marked the first ventures into "tropicals." Sum- mer trousers are just as sharply creased, lapels just as crisp as in heavy winter suits. Even the tradition-bound Ante" is making a change this summer.

It is the second of a similar collection, the firs!. being "Cavalcade of the North." Ir takes a long time to read the entire book. I know because I did, and I have a fairly rapid rate of reading I would recommend that the bor- rower of the volume read as suit, hie fancy. It may be that all selee• taint will appeal and certainly can hays its merits. A few of the selecreme I had en- ceuntered before, in book form or iu, magazine storiee or article's, some, too, were excerpts from long er work:. Two in particular were eo delightful that I am determined to seek nut the books themselves. they were the portions from Earle 'Birney's "Private Turvey" and "Tla Diary of Samuel Marchbanks" by Robertson Davies. There were floes; complete novels, namely "The Sacrifice" by Adele Wiseman, the pathetic tale of an immigrant ;fewisa butcher and his family; "Judith Hearne" by Brian Moore, a sadly dreary tale of an Irish spinster In straitened circum- stances; and "Mleord, I am not Guilty" by Frances Shelley Wees, a, murder mystery set in Toronto and one of its suburbs.
