dropped into quiet water forms ever
enlarging circles, so this first i'm
pulse toward honoring mothers
spread and spread until in 1914, by
a special act of Congress. the second
Sunday of May was set aside for
the national observance of Mothers
Day. We heartily concur in paying
this annual tribute to those who
gave US birth, but-and this is mere
man speaking-where does dad
come into the picture? AS Long
fellow said of Hiawatha and Mime
haha,
Hand in hand they went together
Through the woodland and the
meadow"
so mothers and dads go hand in
hand through life. 1t is fitting that
both be equally honored. Therefore.
as we honored mother the second
Sunday in May let us pay tribute to
the nations fathers this third Sun
day in June To all this Edgar Guest
give a humorous turn in a poem,
and with its lines we close our
'Musing" today.
"The times have proved my judg-
ment bad,
I've followed foolish hopes in vain.
And as you look upon your dad
You see him commonplace and
plain.
No brilliant wisdom / enjoy;
The jests / tell have grown to bore
you,
But just remember this my boy:
Twas / who chose your mother for
you.
Against the blunders / have made
And all the things / failed to do,
The weaknesses which I've dis,
played,
This fact remains forever true;
This to my credit still must stay,
And don't forget it, implore you;
Whatever else you think or say:
Twas I who chose your mother for
you.
"Chuckle at times behind my back
About the ties and hats / wear,
Sound Judgment / am known to
lack,
Smile at the ancient views / air;
Say if you will I'm often wrong,
But with my faults strewn at be-
fore you,
Remember this your whole life
long:
Twas / who chose your mother for
you.
your life from babyhood to now
Has known the sweetness of her
care;
Her tender hand has smoothed your
brow;
Her love gone with you everywhere.
Through every day and every night
You've had an angel to adore you.
So bear in mind / once was right:
Twas I who chose your mother
for you"

Plea Made For Flag
Day Observance

One of the most important dates
in the history cf our country is
June 14-Flag Day.
That date in 1777 marked the
congressional adoption of the Stars
and Stripes-as our national en-
blem. For more than IT'S years
"Old Glory" has stood as the SYM
boil of freedom, equality and op-
portunity in our land.
Members of the Veterans of For
eign Wars of the United States
more than a million of them-have
fought around the world, on land,
sea and in the air, to defend the
flag and to preserve the freedoms
for which it stands. VFW mem
bers will join with all other patri-
Otic Americans on June IA to pay
homage to the Stars and Stripes.
There will be special ceremonies
in towns and cities throughout the
United States, in Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal
Zone-wherever one of more than
10000 VFW Posts is located.
The flag we honor has been al
tered somewhat in design with the
passing of the years, but the ideals
it represented in 1777 remain the
same today. 1t is the flag of liber-
ty-freedom such as is found no.
where else on earth.
Our flag flew at the head of
George Washington's ragged Con-
tinental Army. 1t went with our
men in the panish-American War.
1t is the flag the dough boys car
ried in World War l. 1t marked
victories in the second world con-
f1ict. 1t has embodied the mortals
remains of nearly a half million
American men who gave their lives
in battles around the world-for
democracy. The flag has been part
of our defenders since the Ameri-
can Revolution.
On Flag Day, June IA, we salute
not mere piece of bunting. We pay
respect to the inspiring symbol of
Americas glorious traditions. Our
flag represents American ideals,
history and emotions. 1t has al
ways been the banner of our cher
ished right of liberty. Every col
or, thread, star and stripe means
liberty. The flag stands proudly
beside the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the Constitution of the
United States. 1t is the living SYM
boil of all ideals and institutions
which have made us a nation sec
ond to none in greatness and influ-
ence.
Proponents of foreign ideologies,
chiefly communism and fascism, are
attempting to tear down the things
for which the United States flag
stands. Through the propaganda,
sabotage and other activities that
endeavor to discredit and under
mine our faith in the American
system of government. The Stars
and Stripes flag is still undimmed
by these efforts. Our country to-
day is what citizens in war and
peace have made it. Our flag and
country will always be what we
make them.
Before our national emblem on
this Flag Day-June 14-let US re-
new determination to do our level
best, day in and day out, to streng-
then American life.
Let us again pledge allegiance
ITO the Esies OF tie United States
of America and to the Republic
for which it stands, one nation,
under God, indivisible, with lib
erty and justice for all.

terials will give you more comfort
than the bulky styles did.
Woods are III darker tones. Ma
honagy is in warm-brown as well
as the more familiar red-brown
tone, in beth modern and tradi-
tional styles.
Designers particularly like wal
nut, cut to show it's beautiful, al
most marble-like graining. Don't
expect the grain in all pieces of
dining room or bedroom to match
exactly when the wood is cut this
way They are not supposed to
match in grain, pattern or in color
in all areas.
The interest lies in the variation
of the pattern New water repel-
lent oil finishes enhance both
grain and color of the walnut.
New details you should look for
are inlays. You will find them in
fairly large patterns set into table
tops, or used as banding on the
margins of cabinet doors and
drawer fronts. Sometimes the con-
trast is provided by the grain pat
tern of the same wood. Other
times woods of both different
grain pattern and different color
are used, to create a texture of
cclor contrast.
Teak is one of the newer favo-
rites for inlay Or banding 1t is
not finished in the old near-black
Chinese fashion, but in its own
natural brown-gray tone.
Some of the handsome new de-
tail is in light touches of metal on
wood, such as small pewter motifs
on tops of coffee and occasional
tables, brass banding inset to form
geometric patterns, dull finished
stainless steel leg tips. and drawer
and door hardware which enhance
the furniture like a piece of cos
tune jewelry.
Furniture fashions have obvious
1y changed but not just because
of the calendar, rather, il seems
the designers keep and develop the
best styles to help make homes
more gracious and comfortable.

Aged 35 years
What brief span of living-just
thirty-five years! And yet, by the
time she died she had exerted an
influence upon her son. that made
him the great man he was. The
records show that just before she
died she called him to her led
side-as Lincoln himself told it
and said, Live as I have taught
you. Love your kindred and worship
God. And be somebody, Abe. No
wonder Lincoln kept his mother in
respectful and affectionate remem-
brance starting on numerous oc-
casions that all he was and all he
had accomplished he owed to her.
Though the achievements of few
approach the achievements of Lin
coin, this gratitude for mothers and
the who1esomeness of their inf1u-

not surprising, therefore, that this
sentiment has crystalized into a
day of remembrance called Mothers
