Show SBfl VACATION AS ALWAYS. The arrival of vacation time this year finds a meagre ,-and unthinking minority advising the American people Bfl to forego their rest and renewal that the nation may Bfl throw its whole available strength into the war for Lib- flfl erty. This is poor advice. It is not the advice of those Bfl who know best how tremendous is the task the country BB laces and how best it may be prosecuted with victorious BB energy. Our strength must be at par, or at par plus. An BB -unprecedented task calls for workers refreshed and re- flfl built, for great physical vigor and mental alertness, for fl ' the combined effort of a strong, zealous and determined BB people. B In the vacation regions the slogan should be: "Busi- BB ness as usual." The federal government itself, speakinp BB through Secretary Lane, has directed attention anew to B Jts national parks and the opportunities they afford for B recreation and health-budding. The government would BB -stimulate rather than obstruct the people's enjoyment of BB Iftese advantages. The word of the leaders of our nation BB as that the weary should seek their accustomed relief from BB -ton and that the worn should recuperate. BB This nation has acquired a world-wide reputation for BB creative energy because its people have jealously guarded BB anil steadily increased their individual power. They are BB an ou-door people with the exploring instinct and of ad- BB venturous habit. They like the sunlight and the open BB places, and they turn each summer to the mountains the B plains and the great forests. There they shed their weari- B Tiess find a new spirit and acquire a new will to do, gain- B mg firmness of muscle and clarity of thought and recov- BJ ering interest in their employment. 1 , An exhausted or sluggish worker is the most ineffici- B -ent type of worker. He owes it as much to his country ij s t0 h.ls employer and himself to rebuild his depleted (H strength and freshen his interest in his labor.
