r Manage Stress With Relaxation I By ELLEN SCOTT In our last edition Pages we our talked abut stress, how it af fects us and things we might do to relieve it. Relaxation is an important aspect of stress management and an important part of our lifestyle. Ellen Scott ^liether you choose read ing, walking, watching tele vision, fishing or doing nothing at all, relaxation can be very beneficial in red ucing stress. Relaxation not only makes you feel good, it also is effec tive in: 1 — decreasing heart rate; 2 — decreasing blood pressure; 3 — slowing the body so it can recharge; and 4 — re leasing muscle tension and relieving body aches. Though you probably have particular ways to relax that are enjoyable to you, the fol lowing technique called the “relaxation response” may also be helpful when you need to relax. Read each step and follow the instructions and see if it works for you. 1. Sit quietly in a comfort able position. 2. Close your eyes. (Do not sleep!) 3. First, tighten all muscles in the body as tight as pos sible to the count of 10, then relax - let go all at once. 4. Breathe through your nose, deep breathe in, then as you breathe out, say “One” to yourself as you continue to breathe out. Breathe easily and naturally. 5. Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. When finished, sit quietly for a few minutes be fore opening your eyes and getting up. 6. When distracting thoughts occur, try to ignore them and then return to breathing and repeating “One.” 7. Make this a part of your daily routine. Practice the technique once or twice daily. For some quick, simple tension release: 1. Get up, stretch, walk around. 2. Take several deep breaths in and out. 3. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Use your sense of humor. Laughter is an excel lent tension releaser. 4. “Talk out” things that are upsetting you. Try not to hold them in. 5. Indulge yourself in a hobby. Remember to take a little time out each day just for you!

It should benefit both previous Maro and TAdams-Millis employees.” The purchase is Adams- ^dlis’ fourth in as many years, beginning with focksmith in 1983, then fol lowed by Silver Knit in 1984, Hanes Socks in 1985 and Maro this year. “We have been acquiring markets and distribution with these transactions,” Bundy said. “Although there is some overlap with Maro and Adams-Millis, it does broaden our base.” sent him to the United States in the early 1900s to join his sister who was living in Phil adelphia. He was to go to school but instead went to work selling newspapers on the square in Philadelphia. He said the idea of the Maro purchase by Adams- Millis has been in the works for about five years but hard negotiations began in the fall of 1985. Bundy explained that Maro Hosiery grew out of the efforts of a 12-year-old boy. Max Rounick, for whom Maro was named, was a Rus sian immigrant whose family The newspaper sales were made in the morning and afternoon. In the middle of the day Rounick began sel ling socks from his news paper cart. From that business Maro emerged to become the country’s largest hosiery jobber. By the early 1960s Maro had become so large as a jobber that the company expanded into manu facturing to insure its inven tory supply. Its first operation was Influential Hosiery in High Point. The Rounicks sold Maro in the mid-1960s to Spartan In dustries which sold the com pany in 1970 to Norman Weiss, Rounick’s son-in-law. In the next 15 years Maro tripled its size. The company’s sales of fices occupy the entire 38th floor of the Empire State Building in New York City. Along with Weiss, key Maro officials include Har vey Arnel, General Sales Manager; Stan Berg, Man ager of Ladies Sheer Sales and President of Temptation Hosiery Mills; Ann Derrico, Treasurer and Controller; and Jerry Piper, Director of Manufacturing.
