i yd 6--THE PORT PERRY STAR -- THURSDAY, JUNE 11th, 1953 Ridge Ramblings By JAMESINE WILLIS DEAL DAD A NEW HAND. Every week seems to have its significance' and what more fitting than setting time aside to devote to Father, the swell fellow who buys boots for the baby and brings home the bacon, the most re- spected gentleman and perhaps the neglected. Where did the myth come from that Fathers are hard pressed; neglected ? estimated not only because they hold the purse strings either, bat because they hold the happiness of the whole family. Men have that long" view on things which stabilizes probleriis which arise and Father with his. iron hand in a velvet" glove 'can set a topsy-turvy world straight again, "One of the most wonder ful joys so partake of, as we go through our three score and ten years, is the joy of having a good father, "The happiness which Father creates in the home i8 one of security and stability, Father is like a port in a storm and how many, many times in a life time do children run before a squall to find comfort and solace in the shelter of Father's. wisdom and love. It is the character of the father-in the home which creates the stimulus for the depth of family living, If Father is a big man, high in ideals, broad in outlook, strong in faith, a man of honour then the family will gravitate to the goal which his ideals point out, for the family will be only as big as its head. The real head of the house is the_Father if he leads and encourages along the way, if he is not a tyrant or a boss, but a gentle, friendly, kind, guide and adviser, urging always, the family toward the best ideals of his own Jife. The father's life will revolve around his children for they are his hope for timelessness, through the actions and lives of his adult children will a man find the justification of his own life. 3 How _a father accepts the responsibilities of his family is" the "true measure of the man he is, a young father grows in character for responsibilities are necessary for his development and no responsi- bility is as"demanding of continual watchfulness, as is raising a family. Father couldn't do it alone, there are so many details at which he would be clumsy and inept but while Mother is indispensible, Father is the crown of the home. © Something -Father has plenty of, which he does not carry in his billfold and which you and I need, is experience. We can let Father's experiences be our education if we will, it could save a lot of time and errors by using his in place of our own, Some-Fatheis will give 'with their advice, others again will wait until they are asked but any father will thrill and give with gladness. If anyone nourishes the notion.that Father is only a meal ticket, perish the thought, for his real 'wealth is in finer things. There is the old story about the lad of eighteen who thought his father didn't know anything but by the time the boy was twenty-one he was surprised at what his dad had learned and by time he reached twenty-five he was beginning to realize that it was himself who didn't know much. . The sooner you come to that realization the better because all the smiles and love, all the friendliness and the wealth of knowledge which are available in your +! father will go with him when he is gone and though he might leave you a pot of gold you would be well to take all that you can store up of the real wealth which is there for the asking, now. There will be plenty to regret later when father has left, there will be all the loving words we left unsaid and the harsh and bitter words we would like to recall, there wii be hundreds of pings» we didn't do, so do what you can, now. I'm going to get myself a beautiful" plant, one full of bloom, bright and gay, a. plant which will denote cheerfulness and warmth - and it will be my tribute to my Father, a real Prince of a Dad. but "who has said his farewells and left full hearts but loneliness, - If your father is living won't you go to see him, let nothing keep you this Father's Day and any other day from storing up in your mind and heart some of what has been-in his heart these years for you. un-appreciated and , Fathers are wonderful, their importance cannot be over.
