The praises of labor have been sung, and the votes have been cast but it's only the beginning. During this month we will yet render appropriate homage to such miscellaneous items as: Hats, watches, neckties, dogs, feet, sweaters and Indians. These are a few of the subjects to which have been dedicated days, weeks and . months. There is a possibility that many people have yet to be informed that September has been designated National Child Foot Health month; The purpose of this observance is throughout September we should heighten our vigilence and intensify our efforts toward creating a healthy understanding among our children. If you happen to be an adult, just stagger along on your bunions until National Adult Foot Health month rolls along or, you might be able to utilize National Dog week which falls on September From September we observe National Home Week. The purpose here is to get out the paint, tools, stepladder and nails and make the old homestead a more fitting place to abide. Since you have only a week you'll haVe to step on it if you undertake any major projects such as getting rid of the stray cat that dropped in. If you can convince the man next door that its National Help Your Neighbor week, the going will be much easier. The week September is Watch Inspection Time. This is the occasion to take that ticker down to the jeweler for a Don't try to over-hageneral over-hau- l. the watch yourself the parts are too small, ond are difficult to handle with a pair of pliers and screwdriver. Take it to your jeweler and he will set it just slow enough so that you will have an excuse next time you re late for work. September 15 is National Felt Hat day. ile bservance comes relatively.easy, since 1 you need do is wear a felt hat. The straw may be retired to the shelf to await National self-explanato- ry: 24-3- 0. 10-1- 7, 7-- 15 ul Straw Hat day next spring. If you don't wear a hat, and can't be talked into it, it's a day you're missing. Following hard upon National Felt Hat day comes National Necktie week, from September 18 to the 25th. Why only one day is alloted to felt hats, while neckties get an entire week, has not been explained. It's probably because it takes longer to put a tie on. Some people require a week to make a Windsor knot that looks like a Windsor knot and not a place where the padding has bunched up. Running almost concurrently with National tie week, is National Sweater week which holds sway from September 20 to 25. Turtle neck sweaters are out, of course, be- cause you'll be observing National tie week at the same time. Our list of September events goes on, and from the 24th to the 30th we find that we are observing National Dog week. This is the time to throw your dog an extra bone at mealtime, and to give him an extra pat on the head from time to time. It is also occasion to be a little more indulgent of the antics of 'the neighbor's dog. Adults may also seize upon this occasion to give their feet a little doctoring. On the last day of September we observe National Indian week. It doesn't say how you'are supposed to observe this week. You might go to a Randolph Scott movie, or you might read a book by James Fenimore Cooper, and thereby devote a little time to Indians. You might try to find an Indian so that you can shake his hand and tell him . how much you like him. You might lay a Indian. wreath at the foot of a cigar-stor- e It doesn't say how you're supposed to observe it; it ust says National Indian week. These are a few of the observances that fall in Septemberv They are so distributed throughout the month that they'll keep you on your toes. If they all fell concurrently the observance would be greatly simplified. With one fell stroke, you could put on a felt hat, a tie and a sweater, examine the children's feet, pick up that stray cat and throw him to the dog, take your watch down to the jewelers, and go shake hands with an Indian. That would be an interesting day. -- . |
