Have Fun Every Day
With most of the world at war and headlines bringing us definite! fears, we must make every effort] not to be bogged under. The best. remedy, is a little fun every day. Simple fun to relieve the tension which surrounds us and to keep our perspective sane. The world, is at war most of the time, it seems, and troubles are knocking at our doors pretty consistently, but what will happen if we ruin our health through worry and accept the attitude that fe is' pretty much of a headache!
Fun is a bromide, and....fun is free for all. To my way of think- ing fun should be either.taken out of doors or at least away from the usual four walls within which we work. A housewife should defin itely get out of the house at least once each day, and have a little ,pleasure. An office girl should get out during the lunch hour, or at the end of the day. A woman bored from too much pampering should get out and give a little fun to others each day-to under- privileged children, the infirmed, the aged or to others who have been denied advantages. "Her "fun can be through service, Those who 3 serve the greater part of the day should relax and just be merry, .for a few hours. Indolentandj merry; There is no toric in the world better than that for beauty!
Fun guards against tiredness. Haven't you felt sunk-just before going to a party but when you arrived and entered into the merriment of it your fatigue sud-] denly left you?
Fun minimises nameless fears. If you dread something, get out and have some fun. You might even discuss your fear with

good friend or even a stranger.
Discussing it usually gives you af new viewpoint and makes that fear a midget in comparison to what COULD happen.
¡Fun is good for the digestion. I've watched persons who com plained of chronic indigestion eat! everything they thought they couldn't eat and not suffer a bit -while they were having fun.
Anna Neagle, the famous English star, on vacation in the desert at the conclusion of "Irene" spent the early mornings bicycling along desert by-roads,
*Fun keeps you good natured.
