This year it will be celebrated on Sunday, May 13. We owe a great deal of thanks to Anna Jarvis for the leading part she took in having Mother's Day inaugur- ated. It has been celebrated every second Sunday in May since 1914, On this day persons are requested to wear a white flower if their mother is dead, and one of red or pink, should she be living. It has also been _ the custom to have sons and daugh- ters away from home, to send their mother greetings on this day. There is no person who willfully de- sires to give their mother worry, pain or anxiety, but when she does not re- ceive any word from you for long in- tervals, it pains her Mother's love, Make up your mind now to send her some sort of greeting on Mother's Day. Many beautiful things have been written about your mother and mine, which leaves beautiful thoughts in our minds. Here are some we should take right into our hearts and pre- serve them so that when the name Mother is mentioned, we will never have any regrets in- so-far as we are concerned. ---- What is A Mother? By Vera Humbert A Mother is one who carries her child under her heart; loves it before it is born and goes down into the Val- ley of the Shadow_to give that child} life. Mothers come in assorted sizes, weights, colors and ages. Some are pretty, cute, witty, clever and others are tall, tiny, stout or small. But be- ing Mother to someone, they are pat- terned just right. You will find them in every country, every state, every city, every town, every village, even in trailer camps--but the most likely place--the kitchen. Dads adore them, little girls love them and little boys worship them. Mothers have a bit of angel shine about them; have tenderness, patience, sympathy, understanding, love and the mysterious mind of a woman. Mothers make a house a home. A Mother feeds, bathes and clothes the little. child, As the child grows Mo- ther teaches it to walk, to talk, to pray. Mother tells the child bed time stories, reads stories aloud and rocks 'the child to sleep. Mother tucks the "child in at bed time, gets up in the night to see that it is covered, to get it a drink of water and comfort it if ses the child when. it is sick. _ Mothgr accompanies the child the first day of school. She gives the child courage, strength, hope, loyalty and friendship. She is always ready "to listen to her child's problems and help to solve them. Mothers are so understanding. Mother. cooks the things the child likes to eat; never forgets the birth- _ days of the family; bakes the white cake with the chocolate icing or the chocolate cake with the white icing, puts the candles on the cake, plans the birthday parties; makes the waff- les, bakes the rolls, cookies, dough- nuts, and the cherry pies--makes each is one's favourite dish. Sometimes Mother. gets tired with the monotonous round of housework and may even be impatient at times, but she loves the child through all the impatience, the reprimands, the padd- lings, the scoldings and is always ready to give comfort and cheer. Occasionally, Mother likes a box of candy, some flowers, a new dress, a new hat, new shoes, hose, dainty lin- _ gerie ,nice perfume, someone to re- Eat member her birthday, her wedding anniversary, Mother's Day, someone to give her a helping hand with the dishes, likes to eat out, go for a ride, take a short vacation and always likes a lot of love. Love is synonymous with Motherhood. Mother laughs when a child tramp- les on her toes when it is small. But Mother sheds tears of blood when son it has"had a bad dream. Mother nur-} they grow older. GENE DOPP Brooklin, Ontario Eleanor Kirpatrick The Tea and Hobby Show conducted by the ladies of the United Church at Brooklin in the Christian Education Hall on Saturday Afternoon, April 28th, according to Mrs. Holliday, the president ,and Mrs. William Heron, the convenor of the hobby section, was successful beyond expectation in the number of entries for the hobby show and in the attendance. There were 22 very interesting displays, which includes the Brooklin Art Guild, with many pictures, as one entry. The various hobbies were artistically ar- ranged along three sides of the hall-- the centre was reserved for tables at which sandwiches, cake and tea were served. The total attendance was approximately 320 of which very few were men. Eleanor Kirkpatrick won the door draw, and as she was not pre- sent at the time of the draw she may secure it by contacting either of the two ladies named above, Probably the hobby which received the most attention from the ladies, , was that of Doris Batty with her hats of many styles and colors--other en-, tries were: Dr. McKenny's fine collec- tion of postage stamps, Mrs. Fred Disney displayed an assortment of quilts going back as far as 80 years, they were all well preserved. Mrs. Charles Elliott's hobby comprised shell work and aluminum etchings. Mrs. Carnsworth displayed an assort- ment of some very decorative bows.' Mrs. Les Hall presented a huge col- lection of buttons, you could name them and they were there. Mrs. Wins Door Prize At Hobby Show and Tea Heron exhibited some ceramic tile, flower arrangements, and a collection of coins from the Victorian age. Pat Mitchell showed a sketch of her sister which she created, pebble work on plaques, and a collection of colored stones. Mrs. Andrews exhibited a collection of Christmas decorations. Mrs. Vick showed a number of well dressed dolls, and a collection of spoons. Mrs. R. Heron had her coin collection there for all to view, Mrs. McCool brought here leather craft creations along with some aluminum etchings, A very interesting display was on hand of antiques which Chris- sie Simpson discovered in the rafters and attic of her house, which were evidently stored there during the days when it was known as the Millbrook cottage. Mrs. Howard Arksey's pre- sentation comprised a beautiful as- sortment of hooked work. Mrs. Alex Ischschaltz had on view a collection of china paintings which were painted by herself. The art of weaving was well displayed in the entries displayed by Mrs. A. Boyes, Mrs. Hillier and | Mrs, Sam Steward. Mrs. (Doctor) Grant had on hand her collection of ore rock, Mrs. Cullock,- Myrtle exhib- ited an oil painting. Mrs. Williams had several of her paintings on hand in- cluding one of Wilber Vipond. The Brooklin Art Guild were well repre- sented by entries from their member- ship. Gene Dopp had on dsiplay eight of his salon prints all of which had received seals in photographic exhi- bits. It was a Big Night What a 'grand evening the Brooklin minor hockey boys had at the 0dd. | fellows Hall on April 27th. The piace) was jammed with boys--some brought their dads and mothers along. The mothers, however, as usual were very busy in the kitchen loading plates with sandwiches and cookies or keep- ing them filled as they were quickly emptied. They were not so busy with the pop as there was only one bottle | for each. Not a single boy went away hungry--they all provided well for themselves as each one brought along either a bag of sandwiches or of cookies -- they all went home happy with a handsome crest and a souvenir hockey book provided by Molson's Brewery. During the evening, they had sing- songs, music from a four piece or- chestra, a colored National Hockey League film, showing all the stars in action, as well as Hockey's Hall of Fame. Then there was a short talk on what is required to be a hockey player, a tumbling act by youngsters about their own age, then came the highlight of the evening when the crests were presented. or daughter trample on her heart as No son or daugh- ter can ever pay 'the debt he or she | owes to Mother. God bless the Mo-! thers--living or dead--they are still our Mothers and their memory touch- es our hearts with tenderness. There is a proverb which says: "God could not be everywhere, so he made Mothers."

Where else but in a small town like Brooklin would one get the co-operation that, is required to put on such a show-- so congratulations to all those who helped to make this such a success for the kids in this town. Reeve Heber Down was present, and stayed right to the last minute-- he must have enjoyed it or he would have given an excuse for leaving early. As a matter of fact our Reeve usually has an engagement every evening, Council Meetings, Planning Board, special meetings and various other functions. This along with his lodge attendance seldom gives him an evening at home. Why does he take such interest in public matters? The answer is because he enjoys it. He is also aware of the fact that he cannot please all the people all the time, but does please some of -the people some | of the time. All others may quit you and mock at your fall, But your Mother, undaunted, will come at your call. She will follow you down to the deep depth of sin, And love you and nurse you, through thick and through thin, And though she may suffer, from what you have done, She will never forget or desert you, my son, So long as she lives you are sure of a friend, On whom at all time you may safely depend. You may wound her with sinfiing, HOBBY SHOW AND TEA A BIG SUCCESS On the left is Mrs. Wm. Heron, Convenor of the Hobby show and Mus.

Heron, Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills THOSE SMART MACHINES? People are being scared by the pros- pect of automation. The new machines are supposed to be so wonderful they will put us-all out of work. "Man", intones the gloomy gus, "is being made obsolete." Eyewash! William Kelly, an executive of Con-, sumer's Gas Company, told the na- tional association of office manage- ment just how cockeyed this sort of reasoning is. He agreed that some may dream of the day when they can take off for some Shangri-La and leave machines to forward a pay- cheque regularly. "But if thinking machines ever got that all-fired smart," said Kelly, "it wouldn't be long before they were down in Shan. | gri-La while we were back at work." He went on to point out that man! is a slow, sloppy and brilliant thinker, | and stupid! | | | mal, while the machine is fast, accurate,! ers, he has dreamed up management " Certainly, machines are useful. | motivated socicty They can, properly used, help raise | affluence of today. the living standards of all.
