Show Editorial: POP'S DAY SUNDAY It was a long time after the first Mothers Day before a clay was set aside for Pop. There was national na-tional Dog Day, Baby Day, Childrens Day, flag Day, Columbus Day, Labor Day, Independence Day and many other days but Dads just didn't rate one. Now someone has the idea that Dad does need a special day, one set aside to show him someone cares. It is said that all along a child's way. from the cradle to the alter, Dad's role is in the background. He flashes into prominence mostly around the tenth of the month, under a shower of bills; then back on the job 'till the next 15th trying to get even. If he indulges in a bit of recreation, he feels like he's robbing his wife or the children. When he buys a new suit, he thinks how much more his family needs new cloths. When he can't afford to go to the fights, he stays home and sees them on TV that is if the younger fry doesn't want to see his favorite program. pro-gram. In this case he hies himself off to bed to get much-needed rest before another day's routine. Most Dads don't want to be made over. They don't like demonstrations, but it will do any Pop the world of good and give him a lift that will last for weeks if on this Sunday, June 21, Father's Day, someone some-one around the house just remembers to say ''happy Father's Day" and let the man of the house know that he is a pretty good guy. |
