vania, chose the dandelion as be-
ing more appropriate because 'the
more it is trampled on, the more
it gorws." The wit of expression
is typical of hundreds which have
lampooned Fathers Day through
the years, adding spice and humor
to the celebration.
Greeting cards-because they
express so well the sentiment Cor
good-hearted humor) we often are
too shy to voice ourselves -tradi-
tionally have been sent to Dads to
show they are really appreciated
on their special day, Hallmark
said. Until recent years, the day
was chiefly observed by the send
ing of cards, but now gifts and
other expressions of appreciation
often accompany h e written
statement.
Dad is top man for the day in
countries where Fathers Day is
observed, but in some other parts
of the world, he could stand a lit
tie recognition.
On Palau Island in the South
Seas, the ruling matriarchs can
have any male executed if he dis
turbs their contemplation. And
near Sumatra, Dad has to go live
with his wife's family, children
take their mothers name-and
only daughters inherit property.
In India, Dads in even worse
shape. If Father goes into debt,
Mother can sell him into slavery
to pay off the creditors. And in
the African Sudan, Mama may re-
turn to her parents after bearing
five children, leaving Papa tolook
after the Riddles.
Father hasn't always been the
low man on the totem pole, how
ever. In Biblical times, it was con-
sidered a crime punishable by
death for a child to disagree with
his Father. Throughout Northern
Europe, a Father felt disgraced If
a son in his teens appeared pub
licly in his presence. Greek Faith
ers even selected the wives for
their sons-and no back talk
allowed.
The champion Father of an
Gent days undoubtedly was King
Solomon. He had 700 wives and
800 concubines, but the Bible
doesn't mention how many young

FROM INSPIRATION
OF v WAR VET
William Smart Server as Both
Mother and Father TO His Six
Children: Daughter Original
ed Fathers Day in 1910
A veteran of the Civil War, de-
scribed as stern but exacting"
but who raised six children after
the death of his wife, provided the
inspiration for Fathers Day.
In 1909, William jackson Smart,
of Spokane, Washington, died af-
ter serving as both mother and
father to his children for 81 years.
The next year, Mrs. John Bruce
Dodd, a daughter, petitioned the
Spokane Ministerial Alliance to
set aside the third Sunday of
June each year for the "honoring
of fathers" The petition was ac-
cepted, and with the memorial
service in June, 1910, Fathers
Day was inaugurated.
The idea quickly spread to
other areas Of the United States
until, in 1924, President Calvin
Coolidge recommended its nation
al observance. Since then Fathers
Day has spread to many areas Of
Latin and South America, Canada,
Haiti, Honduras, China a n d
Sweden.
Of her father, Mrs. Dodd said:
'This father of ours was stern and
exacting. Only in time of childish
hurt and sorrow did he relax into
tenderness. The spiritual a n d
physical development of his chill
dren to become useful and upright
citizens was to him his mother
father obligation.
He provided well the simple
necessities of life yet discouraged
needless extravaganza with ever a
forward look for future security
and contentment. Humility to
father was a virtue
At the initial celebration, the
rose was selected as the floral
symbol for Fathers Day, accord
ing to research by Hallmark
Cards. In 1924, however, a Bible
class in Williamsburg, Pennsyl-

Two Businessmen
Deny False kd

Two local businessmen have
denied false advertising charges
brought against them by the
Federal Trade Commission and
have informed the commission
that they are no longer in the
automobile seat cover business.
Charles M. LevinSon and
Maurice Bernstein requested
dismissal of the FTC complaint
made last December 8. In the
complaint they were cited as
partners trading under the
lame, Sure-Fit Seat Cover Gen.
ter, 1901 Fourteenth street NV.
The two men claim that on
July /, 1860, they sold the busi-
ness to Seat Covers, Inc, which
since then has traded as Sure
Fit Seat Cover Center.
Denying allegations m q d e
against tn EN-, the two men
asserted that the advertising
statements cited in the COM
plant as deceptive were taken
out of context and were there
fore incomplete and inaccu-
rate"
Furthermore, they said that
all the challenged statements
appeared in one advertisement.
for one particular sale, and
that this advertisement was
revised before publication to
meet FTC recommendations.

Realty Leader
Sees Harm in
IntegrdtiOn
By JOSEPH B. BYRNEs
star staff Writer

CHICAGO, Feb. 2-An execu-
tive order to enforce integration
in the private home building
field would be q blow to the
building industry. E. j. (Jimmy)
Burke, jr., new elected presi-
dent Of the National Home
Builders Assn, said yesterday.
The husky, 40-year-old Texan,
in his first statement as head
Of the 44.000-member organiza-
ton, said he intends to follow
the policy already laid down by
NAHB concerning integration.
In its policy report which will
be voted on by delegates attend
ing NAHB's 17th annual con-
vention here this week. the re.
port states in part that:
a.. Housing must be sold or
rented under the conditions Of
the housing market in which it
Is located = conditions which
arise from the attitudes and
emotions Of people and which
are completely beyond the con-
troll Of our industry"
Some home builders, espe-
cially those in the South. have
voiced q fear the new admin
istration might extend integra-
ton to FLA and VA-backed
home loans as 1t now is en-
forced in public housing.
Pledges Policy
Being from San Antonio"
Mr.. Burke said. II am aware
Of the problem. I have my
own feeling on the matter. r
think it would hurt business.
Nevertheless. ! want to. make
myself clear on the point. 7
intend to follow out the NAfIB
policy which has been in effect
for several years.
Mr.. Burke lauded President
Kennedy'S move in dropping
the interest rate on Govern
ment guaranteed home loans
from 534 per cent to 51a per
cent. He said 1t should make
more homes available to more
people. i
The V Of l per cent drop
means a saving to the pur-
chaser Of 16 cents per month
on each $1,000 borrowed for
the life Of the loan.
Yesterday Washington Area
Builder w. Evans Buchanan,
43. was elected second vice pres
ident of the association.
Unopposed for the stepping
stone to the presidency Of the
huge organization Of builders,
Mr.. Buchanan Of Rockville,
Nd, is the son Of ]. Wesley
Buchanan. q founder Of NAHB.
Ordinarily. the second vice
president moves up the ladder
to first vice president and then
to the presidency. q post which
should go to the Rockville de-
lveloper in 1868.
Only one other Washington
builder in the II years of the
organization has ever held the
presidency. He Is Edward Carr
who builds homes in the
Springfield (Va1 area.
