Here's to good old dad on Faith
er's Day. Father is the kin his
family loves to touch. He isn't
expected to face the bills; he's
merely asked to foot them. Dad
gets old trying to keep young
| (Seven of them). He denies he
wooed his wife, insisting, She
overlook me-" and he looks upon
marriage as something you must
suffer through before you'll be
admitted to heaven. He even adj
mitS that on occasion he and nom
have had words, only he never
gets chance to use his. But, dad
does have a voice in the family
the invoice. We must all agree
that it's nice to have a man about,
with nom adding, providing you
know what he's about"
Every time that NOM says COM
mon sense would prevent many
divorces, dad adds that it would
also prevent many marriages. Dad
never takes his troubles home
with him; his are waiting for him
when he gets there. And when
nom rushes back to mother, dad
not only helps her on the train,
| but also walks over to the engine
and pats it affectionately. Dad will
always compliment MONS new
cake, even offering to help her
lift it out of the oven. Last week
dad lost his temper by tripping
over a rug Nom comforted him,
That's a nasty, mean old rug.
dad. You just take it right out to
the clotheSline and beat it for all
you're worth"
