FATHERS DAY
SUNDAY, JUNE 10

We don't know how many
families in Madison county will
; observe Fathers Day." which
occurs on Sunday, the 18th, but
it might be a good idea, once in
while to give the old man a
few thoughts
Father should not need much
sympathy. He should be in
the vigorous prime of life,
somewhere between the ages of
25 and so, and able to take
care of himself, while doing
the best to take care of his
family.
About the greatest gift that
can come to him is home that
is free from snarling and bick-
ering between members of the
family, with just a dash, per-
haps, of appreciation of the
fact that he has, at least, done
the best that he could for his
brood, allowing, of course, a
few breaks to him as an ordin-
airy human being and not an
angel.
1t might be a good idea for
London housewives to grant
the alleged head Of the house a
few favors on the Sunday that
some Jealous souls have lab
elled his. Maybe, his dessert
for dinner - that usually
touches the heart of the male.
Or, maybe, a few extra cour-
tesies or a demonstration Of
the fact that the family looks
upon him as something else
than a poor provider!
