Show i ' Father's Day Now National Institution i Custom Started Five Years Arro Has Crown by Jx-aps and Bounds i lid 1 .-rv.--i All Vou Can Give 1 Him, So 1)0 Your Lit. ! Sunday will mark the sixth, cele-i cele-i J bration of Father's national birthday, ' hi lti.r known as Father's Day. Since ' this day, the third Sunday in June, ! was set aside to do honor to Father, only five, short years ago, it has grown in popularity by leaps and bounds. We have score3 of other days set apart for special observance but It's good to know that at last Dad has rome into his own. So let us join in making it his day in fact as well as in sentiment.

In the average family father's most popular day seems to be "Salary Day" and he has deteriorated into a mere "han'der-out" supplying the family with all the joys of life. Oft-times Oft-times it is he who wears last year's suit, shabby "lid" and re-soled shoes to let the 'wife and kiddies" have the newest and most fashionable clothing. cloth-ing. He works on the theory that no one will notice him anyhow. Surely Dad deserves the recognition recogni-tion which has recently come to him for he's on the job three hundred and sixty-five days of the year and he expects little for his efforts and often gets less. Most of us aren't as thoughtless as we seem even though' wo do forget now and then. But on occasions like Father's Day we rally admirably so no matter what he is to you, whether it be Dad, Pop, Father, the Guv'nor or just the "Old Man" honor him Sunday Sun-day and let him know that he has a mighty big place in your affections. He may even feign indifference but underneath that exterior and behind the camouflage will emerge the real man that you know is overjoyed at having "a fuss mpde over him." |
