husbands dlar brainwashed la in overused term that reached our society somewhere during or after world war two and it referred lo in mm universally accepted dictionaries as lo indoctrinate so intensively and so thoroughly as to effect a radical transformation of beliefs and to ii it we live in a brainwashed society wherein we are continually accepting many things which under normal well adjusted living conditions we would give ear to place n in its proper perspective and then apply ourselves accordingly take fathers day for instance everyone loves a father somewhere in the hack of every feline mind there is an image of one particular father who absolutely epitomizes the very echelon of masculinity strength foresight wisdom and adorjtion all fathers at not alike they can be big tmall handsome plain and often fathers are even a little dull and stupid somehow however come the third sunday of june every year ones own particular father becomes a huge giant of a man the favourite mentor coming through when the going was tough always to be counted on in a pinch it wasnt enough tint mothers day had to he reerccled from an old english custom originally called mothering sunday which was sentimentalized in the form of a red carnation or pure white rose worn as a symbol of respect and love of all motherhood but to match the updated rejuvenated arrival of todays mothers day celebration in its commerctahstic spree of mone spending a twentiethcentury damsel named mrs john bruce dodd of spokane washington had to think up a way of matching the queen for a day sentiment of mothers day by organizing a comnuttee representing all fathers it was this same committee which set aside the thud sunday of every june as one lo commemorate worthy spouses and fathers the world over that time u here again wafting in between such classical strains as sing jane sing and wheres the playground susie todays radio commentators are hot at work expounding on the utuuung shopping bargains being offcied js gill items for the favorite man in your life with commercial gimmicks such as father djy poems and jingles one u reminded that it will soon be ihe day to show father how much he is loved and appreciated help him stock up with his favorite ties and matching socks uys the hippy hannigan on the other end of ihe radio beam and suddenly it becomes most difficult to accentuate the positive before one it aware fathers dj has actually lurried into another birthday celebration or a christmas sentimental ladies along with their children luve begun investing in fathers day gifts for the very twain lo whom ihey jic married and on whom they have no right to tag with sudi claims of fatherhood all trus furor because mrs john bwcc dodd of spokane washington didnt have a mother and wanted to have someone to whom the could dotingly give a present now the fathers- day gifts from wives simply have to go its a great day for the kids on which to give dad a big hug and tome extra considerations or maybe a dgar or two but admittedly it isnt your department mother because he isnt your father now is he bui leis be constructive for a moment nobody said you couldnt give your husband a present anyway so why not take advantage of the great canadian sentiment which has been aroused by the ambitious radio hucksters and use the old method of reverse psychology instead of spending money to amortize an already august twain buy him something practical like a machine lo mow the back lawn a living room chair or a new set of diningroom dishes which the whole family can enjoy take me for instance this yaw for fathers day i plan to invest in a new stereo radio which vm certain will harmonit beautifully with the walnut coffee table i purchased for my husband last fathers day just remember my frkndliet if anyone tells you that fathers day la for the flrds dont you believe it its really a weurgged and perfect ttstti for tvu conniving wives to refurnish well worn
