family he isn't expected to tor r help felp with the dishes but too many r times mes life in the household goes on th almost no reference to him at sail all He is there the good man who vho gets ts

man even more than usual He has to meet higher expenses with the same salary salay he must buy war ivar bonds and contribute to the Red Cross and all that Now that his sonis sonis son sonis is gone into service he feels lonely and depressed for he knows the hardships o of f military life and its dangers The son who was lOa his pride and hope is gone goe at least for the time being and Father cant can't say anything Mothers get the sympathy but Fathers are supposed to be strong and silent So on this Fathers Father's day Miss Norris suggests the family that thatis is mother and the girls let girls let upon upon up upon on their constant pleas and hints f for or money and let Dad have a little peace o of f mind The day should be given over to making Father comfortable getting comfortable getting his pipe and slippers preparing his favorite dishes and letting him have the car These attentions will please him a lot more than thana a party or an expensive gift times he thinks that if young Bill doesn't come back and anything happens to him to Dad himself it'll be hard going for Hatty and the girls However whenever he says a word to Hatty about trying to catch catchup up she and the girls simply go crazy Does he mean the few servicemen they have in now and then for dinner and Bettys Betty's new suit and buying a second-hand second car Good gracious isn't it enough to have Bill overseas and not help out with expenses expenses any more and food and everything else just about doubled in price and Mother and Sis so tired every night that if they can get Mrs Moore to come in and clean up goodness knows that they ought to feel free to do it What do a few bills matter when any day they may have the news of something something something some some- thing happening to Bill and half the families they know are in mourning Time for Economy Dad knows they are all wrong that this is the time to shorten sail and get every household in the union into shape for the coming changes and crises but he cant can't argue three women down so he retires to his radio and his newspaper and hears the murmurs from the women in the dining room the matter with him lately lately lately late late- ly his daughters ask cautiously as they press frills or pin up curls Hes so cross Mother you ask him if we cant can't go to the lake with the gang for the week Tell him its it's really to amuse the boys from camp About five dollars each isn't it Sis So Betty comes in and asks him if hes he's tired arranging her pretty curls in the mirror while she talks and finally dares break into it boldly Dad Sis and I really need a little money She's still paying for her fur and we got our hats last week but this week end Oil From Fruit Seeds Extraction of oil from fruit kernels
