X POET'S CORNER A MOTHER'S ANSWER Mother, why did Dad have to go away and leave us alone, you and me? Mother, why didn't you both get along, so that my Dad would be here and stay? Mother, why was it always so loud in our house?. Louder, than all around us? Why did you scream and fight and pout? I still think Dad does not really want to live without us. Mother, please tell me why? Please answer my question, I need to know. I am still just a child, but I love you both! I don't know, to whom I should turn, when I hurt myself, I need your help. Your hands can heal and feel so good. When I want to build my go-cart or make my kite fly... then I need Dad, he gives me a hand. When I am in trouble, he does understand. Oh, mother, 1 hope Dad comes back again and we will be a family, I have a Mom and Dad and no one will feel any pain and we all can be happy again. We will do things together, like we used to do This is my great big wish... and I hope it comes true... My son, I listened to everything »- you had to say. I knew, I had to answer you some day. You're just a boy - but soon you'll be a man One day there will come a girl into your life and love will bind you together and happiness will be at your side... The waves of life will throw you up and down But you both will stay together, because love is still around... Then cuddenly a new dawn, a bright summer day but life deems so cold around you. Ywttrday, you still felt happy and gay hut love l« gone now and you accept this truth.

Thanki fbr the years you spent with me, but we both reached the end of our road and now you are free...

The evening was beautiful and Nancy truly enjoyed the first night of the six-month term. Nancy went to work and organized a swim party June 20 for all the Jobies and girls who are eligible to join but have not. We all went up to Lake Geneva at Big Foot Park. The water was chilly and the wind was brisk but the Jobies' smiles and the sun kept us warm. After a picnic lunch and splash in the lake we went to the canoeing lake and borrowed several canoes. We had canoe races, and also had water fights. At 3 p.m. we headed back to McHenry to go our separate ways. The girls in our Bethel are from Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Lake Villa, Ingleside, Fox Lake, Wonder Lake, Spring Grove and McHenry. On June 28 we will be initiating one of the six prospective members who joined us on the swimming party. Her name is Jana Hull and she is from Crystal Lake. If you have a daughter who is a blood relative of a Mason, is over 12, and is eager to find out what Job's Daughters is all about just give us a call 385-4766 and we will be very eager to explain. by Sue Gerstad The last Union survivor of the Civil War died in 1956, age 109.
