8 Why Not Try A , Life More In tore. Yes, any doctor will tell you that any hobby, simple though it may be, can help you to live longer and make living more enjoyable, not only for yourselves but also for those who live with you and around you. There are thousands of hobbies, some expensive, some moderately so, but most are very inexpensive or you can Oncil\r ?'r?l i V-* vuuity V.UIIUU1 IIIC CUI1UUIU Ul money you put into them. We are all familiar with some of the older hobbies? such as stamp collecting, which still attracts the interest of many, but there are many new ones. The current "Do-It-Yourself" fad results in many hobbies, and quite profitable ones, too. These include making furniture and other items for the home, and the amount of equipment necessary can be determined by your own finances and the time you have to put into the hobby. Photography is an increasingly interesting hobby, especially when you develop and print your own pictures. Cameras, good ones, now can be purchased at most reasonable prices as can develop ing ana printing outfits. Even movie equipment now is down in the very low price field, with movie cameras now at a price lower than good still cameras used to be. Some films are even guaranteed to get a picture every time, in the still-picture field. There are many hobbyists at both Clinton and Lydia Mills. Some people collect cups and saucers, others elephants, others, including men, go into the sewing arts. Many go fishing whenever they have even an hour to spare, some make their own fish plugs, some raise animals or birds, others keep bees. The list goes on and on. But the point is, hobbies are most useful. They get your mind off your work and give it needed relaxation, just as your body needs relaxation. The only limitation on hobbies which require physical exertion is that they should be confined to your own physical limitations. A person with some physical (tisaouuy snouid con tine his hobby to something which requires more mental than physical work.
