the plan of setting aside one day in
the early summer upon which tC
wear a blossom in remembrance is
creditabe, we should not forget Dad
Dear, good old Dad, who got out and
hustled and wore old clothes and
worked his fingers to the bone to
give his family the comforts they
were entitled to. Who fought for us
and stood by us and told the trouble
hunting busybodys they lied when
they told him of our shortcomings
and sought to make trouble in the
neighborhood over our escapades
Dear, good old Dad, who denied him.
self all down the line because, to do
otherwise, would have been to take
from us that which we needed so
badly.
We have never yet heard that Dad
has had his day. While the mothers
are being honored in song and story,
while the loyal sons wear the red
or the white carnation in sweet re-
membrance of the best friend they
ever had, Dad plods along in the
background, unhonored and unsung,
putting up the cash to support his
still, little notice in his direction,
a small token of remembrance and
devotion bestowed upon him, would
make his labor less arduous and his
pathway through life more pleasant.
Dad is pretty good fellow after
all. TO be sure he welded the rod
occasionally. and held various and
sundry sessions with us in the wood
shed after we had been shining up
Neighbor Jones apple tree or had
tied two cats together by the tails
and hung them over Parson Browns
clothesine. Dad always seemed to
stand between us and all fun in those
old days 1t always seemed that the
things we wished the most to do,
Dad opposed with greatest emphasis.
But now we know that Dad was
right. He could see better than we
what was best for us, and every move
he made which curbed our joys and
almost at times, broke our youthful
hearts. was even more bitter dose
for him We know now that every
thing he did was for our good and i'm
these after years as we look back
on the many services he has render
ed us. we are thankful that he was
just the sort of Dad we needed.
While mother at home always took
our part and was ever ready, with
sympathy and soothing words, when
our narrow world looked dark, IL was
Dad who faced the world and defend
ed the whole family.
Everybody Works But Father"
was written in sarcasm but. i'm every
well regulated household, whore the
boys have become men, and the girls
have reached the estate OF woman
hood. II should he true 1t should
he Dads time of rest. He worked
for us when we couldn't. and now ii
is our turn to see that he labors not
and enjoys lifc's twilight in peace.
With Mothers help and advice. with
her innate knowledge Of what we
required and Of our dispositions. she
has assisted Dad in his ministrations
as our characters developed, and he
is entitled to some credit in these
later years.
Bully for Dad. Let's have day
