May 18th. The beautiful thought
OF setting aside one day in the year
to be particularly devoted to ones
mother was first suggested by Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. who
founded the Mothers Day Inter-
national Association to provide the
necessary organized support for the
fostering of the movement. Thanks
largely to her efforts, Mothers Day
has become recognized institution
as the day on which each of us
should pause to acknowledge our
debt of affection and gratitude the
best mother who ever lived, on
which we should be with her if we
can, and, If we unfortunately can
not, should make point OF sending
her message of affection and cheer.
In cooperation with the effort to
