But on ft. jlunday, June 16, the family's hero" will be as lavishly sed as were those legendary Warriors of long ago. ^ Patience and understanding, idance and compionship, are otes to a father's place in ir hearts, the cards point out. ra_.jese themes are illustrated in %waily colored designs, and elabo- •rated on in good-humored verses ich have a sincere, heart-toart quality. Something like his Any POP can feel bright When his kids are polite, And obedient as can be . . . .! But the POP worth while Is the one who can smile After raising a BRAT like me! € Many of the new designs sug- '•£est how Father's Day might be jhpent. Several show Dad going fiunting or fishing. A few picture him out on the golf course. br at his favorite bowling alley. t)ne shows a father and son playing baseball, over a verse that declares-- J Tm in there P1TCHIN* For the man who oftett i | Goes to BAT for me , ; , A man who's strictly I Big League stuff as any | Good Sport will agree! • In recent years, Father's Day icards have given considerable at- Itention to Dad's domestic chores. .jHe's been represented as the family's financial wizard, baby-sitter rst class, and a guy who would ismantle the entire kitchen sink vjjust to replace a single washer. There have even been greetings Jbhowing Dad as he crawled out iof a dog-house in the backyard. 5|JTary a word, however, on such IJfamlliar scenes this year. Instead, iwhe trend is towards completely •f&nrestrained compliments for, as lone card puts it, "The swellest jPOP in the whole darn POP ula- ^tkmj' The main exception to this gen- |«ral trend is a fairly large numjj^ Br of Father's Day cards that Jfhatore "King for a Day" senti , • • iHents.' One fondly adds that can do no wrong!" But I ttost of these cheerful greetings i .. .Mini v simply promftfe a M-hfiuf ban on all worry and care, with someone catering to Dad's every whim. A typical design shows Dad perched in an easy chair--monarch of all he surveys, but with a pile of ashes from his pipe on the floor. Yet, Mom overlooks the mess, while giving him the Sunday papers and a Father's Day kiss for luck. Its greeting begins: "Tb that wonderful HUSBAND of Mine." Another card pictures Dad snoozing in the backyard hammock, and bears this affectionate verse-- It's your day, DAD, So take it easy! r • Dern it--You've earned It! - Novelty cut-out cards, it seems, are especially popular this year. One is patterned alter an oldfashioned pocket . watch, for "Wishing the BEST of DADS the TIME' of his life on Father's Day!" And a pair of moccasins will remind Dad that "No one else can fill your shoes!" Appropriate designs and verses have also been created for your grandfather, father-in-law, or To the Father of My Sweetheart." As the father of someone dear to you, they'll all rate warmhearted greetings on Sunday, June 15. SUghi Attitudes Can ' Make This Item Wrong pn the basis of past records, these things will happen in the next twelve months, unless farm residents adopt right attitudes: Accidents will kill forty-one farm residents a day. Every twenty-foilr seconds a disabling Injury will strike a farm resident. One out of nineteen farm residents will suffer a disabling in- Jury. About 6,000 farm residents will be killed and over 200,000 injured in motor vehicle accidents. About 4,000 farm residents will be killed in work accidents. One out of six farms will be the scene of an accidental injury. r A total of 15,000 farm residents will die in accidents and over a million others will be injured. COUNTY FAIR ; New high Illinois records both in number of expositions and in prize money are being made this season as ninety-seven county and agricultural fairs offer $2,389,- 745 in premiums, according to Roy E. Yung, state Director of Agriculture. Corking Good Idea You can easily replace a lost knob oa the lid of your favorite pot. Just put a shafp screw through the hole and twist a cork onto it--it will be heatproof, too. ou IN YOUR OWN TfAB» Jacobsen, Johnson an4 Worthington Powermowers , HETTERMANN SINCLAIR .
