COMMENT BY KEN METCALF Mother's Day There are some who object to the "commercialization" of national na-tional holidays feeling the meaning mean-ing of the MffKfrfMw?wftftnffffjx(m day is lost in - v., t the "special ff ; sales" and an j -- t urging to buy f gifts. You'll If hear this said about Moth- I " , er's Day. 1 j It is true that stores I 4 '$ff for Mother's I ' f Day . . . that hold specials " vnnnntifiirr you'll read lots of ads urging you to buy candy, flowers, or other gifts . . . and cynics suggest sug-gest that the whole excuse for this special day is just to sell merchandise. The funny thing is, however, that promoters have tried to create special days of all kinds, with just this "commercialization" in mind. Most of these days fade like autumn leaves. Days don't last or "catch on," if they have only a cynical purpose. They last only if they have, underneath all the rest, a wide appeal. Mother's Day has grown in popularity as a special day because be-cause it touches a deeply responsive respon-sive chord in all of us . . . because be-cause the gifts we give have meaning.
