ON'T BE "TOO BUSY TO LIVE.''

***

There was once a famous American business man who was always so overwhelmingly busy that it got so they. used to say about him around his office that "he is too busy to live."

Time proved that tr bJ ";""; and not just a ngoru,:or speech. He was too busy with his own great business operations, his innumerable meetings and conferences and works and worries that he had no time *to rest.

He had no time to reflect and rest his mind; no time to get out in the open, no time to breathe deeply, to think quietly, to relax, to play with the children and imbibe their youthfulness, to take the exercise that nature.intended men^ to take to make them healthy and happy. .ffe couldn't dothesethings.Hedidnthave*time..]:..

And so, long, long before his "appointed,time,,' figuring it on general averages, he blew up with a loud,crash, came down in a fine drizzle, and nothing could be done for him that was of any avail. He had undermined the foundations, weakened the fundamentals of life, and had nothing left to fight with. ***

And so, regardless of how busy he had been, he was called suddenly away from his work, his worries, his conferences, his plans, and his achievements. ,,Jim Jones, leading business man, age 60, heart attack.', That's what the paper said. That was all he got for all his strenuous efforts and ambitions. Every day the papers tell this same story.

Had he lived he could not have been hired to admit that the things he had been doing could possibly get along without his hand and mind. That the world could go on without his personal attention was a thing he never took time to contemplate.

**d<

But he left his desk, left it for all time, and his a,ffairs and the world rocked along in the same old way. He WAS a mighty man in his own world, but he had to die to find out that the world could get along without him.

*{<*

If he could have learned that a little sooner, he might have lived much longer, enjoyed himself milih more, got more out of life, put more into it, and altogether made a much better job of the business of living.

A devoted friend braved his possible ill will one day by telling him the truth about himself. The friend said: ,,you

BY JACK DIONNE

think you are too busy to play golf, to hunt, to fish, to take pleasure trips and such things, but let me tell you that some of these days eight strong men will pick you up and carry ...you out of'that,fine,hoUSe of yoflrs, and you will find too late hoy easily you can get away and hcin' ldng you 'can stay.', ft ,was true, but he didn't know it, or heed it. ***.;,,.t.r

, , Don't b'b "tog busy to live." ' gtei;ee ,is that man who realiees that a irecessary part of every diy is time out for relaxation, for calm contemplation, and reliCf from the direct cares of life; who understands that the job of keeping that boy in him alive is definitely a purposeful effort. '

That doesn't mean that a man should in any fashion neglect his affairs. Not at all ! But it means that he should so mix his work and play that his work will be better and laBt:songer; that.he will givermore of himself to his family, his friendd, artd the.finer thirigs of life, and thus take more i odt of life because hb puts tnore in.

The great need of America today is not for men.who $n add to the quantity of our materials, but for men who will add to the quality of our living. :

They say on the streei corners: "Take it easy and you'll last longer." There is in this crude advice something of the wisdom of Solomon, a little of the justice of Aristides. If the businessmen of America could incorporate into their plans for next year the determination to do that very thing, a year from now there would be many thousands of men still on the job who won't be there otherwise. The suddendeath rate among business and professional men in this country has become shockingly high, and will get higher unless thinking men themselves decide to do something about it. THIS would be a good time-a perfect time-to start'

A splendid American gentleman is today struggling with the most difficult and vital question he has ever been called upon to answer. Ife must decide whether or not to run again for the biggest, heaviest, most man-killing job in the world. It may be more than his big job that is at stakeit may be his life. So that decision should be made by just two people-without any outside interference of any kind, political or otherwise-the President and his wife. I would like to suglest that anybody elsb who sticks his nose in is no friend of Ike's. Leave that most serious question strictly between Ike and his wife and his Maker. All others 'should have the good taste and the good sense to remain mute on the subject.
