itello folks l hope that you will
enjoy the holiday weekend and recall
that Bunker Hill Day is especially
honorable to our race in that it was
Peter Salem a cOlored soldier of the
American Revolutionary forces whose
nusket fired the shot which felled the
British leader Major Pitcairn as the
relocated troops stormed the ram
parts of Breeds Hill on that great
lay a.. but let us away from wars and
my personal contribution to Fathers
Day is the following original poem
which | trust will find ready response
u your hearts e..
JUNE THE EIGHTEENTH"
BY Paul Jordan
Fathers Day is here again
And Father breathes a sigh
We stack the presents in his den
Which Father helped to buy
Ma cooks a special dinner too
With all his favorite dishes
let Father rest the whole day through
Is what her fOndest wish is.
Dad beams and chuckles all the day
We all feel swell inside
ls he grumbles quite good-naturedly
The tears of JOY to hide
He loves us all and We'll love him
uatl the end of time
HE'S raised this happy family
rom childhood to our prime.
Begin today and carefully
Make life worthwhile for Dad
For when he's gone you'll realize
lust what a friend you had
When he lays his burden down
And goes to Heavenly rest
Be ready to bear up his torch
And strive to do your best
My Father lives in memory
Short years vacant chair
The family met on Mothers Day
And he was surely there
Make every thought you wish sincere
When You express your love
What Ger you do for Father here
Is blessed by Him above.
