Mothers and Democracy Twenty-five years ago President Wilson issued the first proclamation of Mothers' day under an act of congress. During Dur-ing alf these years the nation has paid honor and tribute to mothers on the second Sunday in May. This year, 1939, America's mothers have. an opportunity to reciprocate and to pledge the most valuable gift it is in their power to give their country in return for the honors and advantages enjoyed by themselves and their children. We refer to the American Mothers' declaration, a pledge which is dedicated to the preservation of American ideals and institutions as taught by the mothers to their children-Mrs children-Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, famous feminist and woman suffrage leader, although past her eightieth birthday, has assumed as-sumed honorary chairmanship of the national committee. Nothincr explains more eloauentlv the objects of the American Mothers' Declaration than the text of this pledge itself : "Thankful for the benefits of a free country, I, an American mother, will do my utmost to help my children understand, cherish and guard the five freedoms udoii which this nation was founded: Freedom of sneech, press, assembly, worship, and petition. I will teach my children by my own ex-amole ex-amole that they should resDect the risrhts and opinions opin-ions of others if they would defend their own, and thus preserve our heritage of liberty against any and all doctrines opposed to the traditions of our nation." CoDies of this Declaration are being circulated through women's clubs, ciyjc and educational organizations, through department stores, and by individuals who feel that mothers can do more than anyone else to see that democracy is preserved pre-served for the future of America through teaching its value during early and impressionable years to the American children chil-dren of today who will be the voters and citizens of tomorrow. Step Forward With Residents of Provo, dedicated to the task of community building, will be asked to demonstrate their loyalty again this week as the "Step Forward With Provo" campaign gets underway under the ausoices of the chamber of commerce. Nothing of lasting benefit can be accomplished in this age of the world without some effort expended. A great deal of valuable, planned effort spent in behalf of Provo as a business and residential community by the chamber of commerce, com-merce, is beginning to bring results. These fine efforts hould not befpermitteHp sjackejn trouh, thfailure of an one of us to do our part. Only by united, unselfish devotion to the community-building cause, can we expect to keep Provo in its rightful place, in the front ranks of the nation's cities. .The immdiate object of the campaign is to sign up 100 new members for the chamber of commerce. There is important im-portant work to do in 1939 and 1940, and everybody's help is needed to put it over Under the leadership of Sidney W. Russell, the volunteer workers will start their campaign Tuesday morning, bright and early. If every one does his part, the campaign will be over before the end of the week. Let's forget the petty differences that have bothered us, dig up our allotment without hesitation, pay our own way and not ride along on the efforts of others.

UH-HUH SHE BROKE f X WEEKS! J STt' ER LEO UH-HU g " I Was Thinking By ELSIE C CARROLL. OF MOTHER'S DAY I was thinking about Mother's Day and lamenting the fact that what started as a beautiful thought and a recognition of qualities that should call forth spontaneous .expressions of appreciation ap-preciation from children for their mothers is becoming such a commercialized com-mercialized observance that little of the original purpose remains. When the simple carnation, which originally was meant to be a symbol sym-bol of love for mother, has been replaced by gifts of all sorts and values, by ready-made greeting cards and telegrams, the real essence es-sence of the day is lost. A mother can't get the same thrill from a present she may feel represents undue sacrifice, or was sent because be-cause it is the custom to give Mother's Day gifts; or from a card, expressing a purchase sentiment senti-ment which she knows thousands of other mothers are receiving from thousands of children throughout the country, that she would get from a visit from -her child, a few scribbled lines from his own hand, an expression or act of spontaneous appreciation. I wus thinking also that the prevailing practices and attitudes towards Mother's Day seem to be a recognition of the least important part of what I think of as Motherhood Mother-hood the merely physical. In other woris, no recognition is given on Mother's Day to those innumerable MOTHERS in the high sense of the term, who have never borne a child. A story I recently heard will illustrate il-lustrate my point. The story was told by a book agent who was reminded of it when he learned of the passing of Alice Louise Reynolds whom he had learned, on his frequent visits to the Brig-ham Brig-ham Young university, to respect and admire. Her unselfish service to humanity he told me, reminded remind-ed him of the life of another school teacher, a relative of his who died recently in. California. "I w?u3 so impressed at Cousin Susan' funeral that I thought if I could leave when I die a fraction of the number of friends who came from all over the state to pay her tribute, I would prove that I had lived a great life. They crowded in from all over, fathers, mothers, grandparents even, of children she had taught in school and of course hundreds of the children themselves, now irt mature life. Most of them were entirely unknown to the family, but we recognized that she e-longed e-longed to them quite as much, If not more, than she did to ua. Cousin Susan's story is interesting. interest-ing. She taught school for thirty-five thirty-five years. She lived fifteen years after her retirement at the age of sixty, enjoying what few school teachers ever have the chance to enjoy the spending of five . hundred hun-dred dollars a month. This is how she came by such an income. 1 "A number of years ago' the mother of two of her pupils died. She went to the home and discovered that the father was planning to put the children In an institution. 'You mustn't do that I' Cousin . . Susan insisted. Uut I can't ' do anything else,' the distracted dis-tracted father told her. 'I have no relative who can take them and I can't take care of them myself.' 'You can get a housekeeper. They must net bs robbed of a home.' "Cousin Susan offered to procure pro-cure the housekeeper. For years she carried the responsibility of seeing that those children had a suitable woman to make a home for them. At last, the father married one of the housekeepers Cousin Sue had provided. In ap-pieciation ap-pieciation for what she had done for him and hi3 children he said tQ her, 'I'd like to do something for you. If you have a little money you would care to invest I can make you a rich woman.' Cousii Susan, gave him the $3000 she had saved over lonz vears of teaching. "When she retired at 60 -she had an income of $500 a . month from that investment. The interesting thing is that : she spent that $500 every month. None of us knew just how. She lived most simply. . We only knew that often wiien she wold go down town to buy herself a aress, she would come home with a $5 dress for herself and a f 15 or $20 one for someone else perhaps the little Smith girl down the street whose VVPA father couldn't afford to buy her a graduation dress. No, we had little knowledge of what she did with her money,' but we know she was happy spending it, and at her funeral we had an idea of how many other people she had maue happy.' Cousin Susan was a mother in the highest sense of the word, though she had no child to call her mother. There are hundreds of. such Childress mothers. Step-moth-' ers, teachers, social workers. Jane Addams was one of the truly great mothers of the world. I saw, her on two occasions and heard her lecture. One could not come within the warmth of her great, personality without recognizing) the motherhood which was such a, part of her that she devoted her me 10 motnenng . unxortunates who needed the love her generous heart had ta .give I shouldn't ' like to see any , lessening 'T in genuine tribute ' to real -mothers? on Mother's Day. Blos of them deserved all the love and "honor the day ' brings to , them and much - i more. - But . I -.' wish these chUdess mothers, too, could ' be made to -feer tteir worth ' - lndividuals they bless with their love and noble service. These Childress mothers do not have the fault a great many ac tual mothers do the possessive instinct which often is a great hindrance to their children. It is hard for real mothers to realize that each child is a distinct individual indi-vidual not just a part of herself, and should have the right to live his own life, unhampered by her insistance to mold each thought and act. Mothers should try to realize the truth of the thought expressed by Kahil Gibrian in "The Prophet." He sees the true relation between parents and children. chil-dren. To parents he says: You are the bows from which your children As living arrows are sent forth; The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, And he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far ; For even as he loves the arrow that flies So he loves also the bow that is stable. A Girl's Mom - Dear girl, our God had ' blessed you With the greatest gift He could He's given you a Mother, dear A Mother sweet and good. A Mother who is kind and true And loyal all her days Who makes your pathway easy in A' million little ways. t But do you fill her heart with joy. With things you do and say? She craves her girl's companionship companion-ship So why not start today? To give your trust and confidence To her wIjo holds you dear. Go vfill her- life with happiness, With comfort, faith, and cheer. I Go to her now and tell her That your love for her is true. Just think of all those tender Loving things she's done for you. And all the times she's sacrificed That you 'might have the best. Go to her now and tell her That you think she's earned a rest. Then act when you have spoken thus. And help her every day, And prove you really need her In your own sweet, girlish way. At night ask God to bless her For you know He loves her too, And thank Him every waking hour For giving her to you. Some day she'll go away from you To work for Him above. So help her while you have her here; And fill her life with love. AFTON MADSEN Harris Speaks to Nurse Graduates OGDEN Dr. Franklin S.

We never knew how angel-like Our mothers were before The God in Heaven called them, to their celestial home, To serve with other Mothers, Around the great White Throne. There must be great rejoicing When a Mother has come back. As she greets her friends and loved ones Who have trod the beaten track. They say that less of grieving here, Means more of laughter there. If we wait in happy patience, Until we, too, may climb the stair. So on this glorious Mother's Day, When we rise to greet the dawn, Let's think of Angel Mothers, As having just passed on. And while we honor Mothers here, We still praise those above, And jubilant feel, because we have Their sweet, eternal love. MELBA S.
