Signs of the Times

Topic: Thoughts for Vacation

with contributions from James Reid, Henry Servais, R. M. Russell

[From the Daily Province, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada]

The desire of the holiday maker is to get away from the working worries that have made the holiday desirable. To free the mind of its load, to escape the constant round of insistent duties, to leave it all, to forget it all seems the ideal for the moment; to be nothing, to do nothing, and to live for the moment away from all suggestion of the industry that has obsessed the energies!

This mood does not last long. ... The spirit is eager for interest; something must be done, fishing, collecting, or exploring. The finest holiday is that devoted to some interest or hobby entirely new or long neglected. The refreshment of soul and body is not found in laziness, but in doing some new thing that is pleasing and engrossing.
