The universal recognition OF
Mothers Day, on May ii, in
which all classes of citizens. from
the President of the United States
down to the humblest toiler, join
ed in tender remembrance of the
"sweetest woman in the world
my mother" as Speaker Clark
feelingly described the spirit of
the day, would seem to indicate
that the world or at least our por-
ton of the world is moving for
ward to better things. The unani-
nous adoption of the resolution
introduced by Congressman Hef-
lin OF Alabama last week calling
upon the President of the United
States, the Senators and Repre-
sentatives "and all others in au.
thority" to honor Mothers Day
by wearing a white carnation or
other white flower, was fine con-
trast to the treatment accorded
the resolution of Ex-senator
Burkett of Nebraska. who intro
duced a similar measure several
years ago in the upper branch of
Congress. 1t was laughed out of
the Senate, some of the staid
members of the body insisting
that there should be a Fathers
Day, a Grandfather's Day and a
Grandmother's Day. Senator
Burkett made a speech in favor of
the resolution which, since that
time has become a classic. Now
Congressman Helm comes along,
introduces resolution and it is
passed unanimously, thereby
fixing for all time Mothers Day.
