"mm.' :> i Mom may not know it, but the gifts and Mother's Day greeting cards that shell receive on Sunday, May 10, are final links in a chain of tradition and sentiment which was forged under the J shadows of legendary Mt. Olympus. For in their annual Springtime festival honoring Khea, the "Mother of the Gods," the ancient Greeks were actually holding the first 'Mother's Day ceremony of any kind! Centuries later the esarly Chirstians dedicated the fourth Sunday before Easter to the Mother of Jesus. Pilgrims visited Mary's shrine, and brought flowers in Her name to the church altar, where they'd been baptised. Living mothers were remembered with gifts, too, making this Midlent Sunday the first step toward Mother's Day as we know it. Tributes to motherhood, of course, have taken many,, forms. Shah Jehan of. India built the Taj Mahal, the world's most beautiful building, as a monument to his favorite wife for the sons she gave him. During the Renaissance, the Madonna or the Madonna and Child inspired scores of famous paintings by Raphael, Botticelli and ^ other classical artists. Here in the United JStateS, there's a beautiful birch tree on the White House lawn . dedicated to the mothers of our presidents. Another has been planted near the Capitol building as a tribute to all American mothers. Mother's Pay in America, however, was established only after several unsuccessful attempts. Back in Civil War days, Julia SULFA mm AIM LITE'S Ward Howe, composer of Hymn of the Republic," proposed that Independence Day be recpgnized as Mother's Day, thus making it a day of peace. Mrs. Howe's suggestion never caught on. But a "Mother's Friendship bay" did originate in West Virginia, and for several years t helped to reunite the families of Union and Confederate soldiers. The Mother's Day that we celebrate each year began at Henderson, Ky., in 1887. For it was there that Mary Towles Sasseen, a school teacher, invited the mothers of her pupils to attend a special musical program in their honor. Miss Sasseen made this popular ceremony an aniiual event; and devoted her life to establishing Mother's Day programs in other nearby schools and states. She died in 1906, just two years before Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia organized a similar and more successful campaign. Miss Jarvis was a fluent, logical and convincing woman. Her countless lectures and letters were rewarded in 1914, when President Wilson signed a Congressional Resolution Setting aside "the second ^Sunday in May as Mother's Day. As the nation's first official tribute to motherhood, all federal buildings were ordered to display the American flag. Rep. Heflin of Alabama, co-author of the Mothafe Day resolution, later said: ; N 'The flag was never used iri a more beautiful and sacred cause than when flying above that tender, gentle Army, the mothers of America." In the thirty-nine year3 sinre then. Mother's Day has become our most sentimental holiday. Unlike the Greeks of old, we think of every mother as a goddess. And to sing their praises, our Mother's Day cards are mailed "With all my love" to mothers, grandmothers, godm o t h e r s , m o t h e r s - i n^aw and even mothers-to-be! CROP REPORT Farm field work fti cetrtfat Illinois, although hindered by wet weather, is still further advanced than is usual at this date, according to the weekly crop report of the state and federal departments of agriculture. For Illinois as a whole, 85 per cent of oats seeding is finished with early planted fields coming up in northern counties and showing good growth in southern districts. Farmers are working their fields as weather permits to get the ground in shape for corn and soybean planting later this spring. "CRACK DOWN" ON LICENSE VIOLATIONS NET STATE $500000 Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier's "crack down" on delinquent motor vehiele licensing which began last week is estimated to have netted the state approximately $500,000 in fees." More than half of that amount was collected directly by investigators of Secretary Carpentier's office through "road-blocks" established in Kankakee and Chicago. Cars and trucks bearing last year's license plates were stopped and held until the driver or owner made application for 1953 licenses. The balance of the fees collected are directly attributable to the enforcement FmiIQM Secretary Carpentier said. Many truck fleet operators who bad one truck held up immediately made application for licenses for the remainder of theb ment. Secretary Ghrpentier suited* that the enforcement drive will continue and that his investigators will visit- other areas of the state within the next several weeks. % MNE PRODUCTION Tne shipping mines of Illinois produced 3,800,510 tons of coal during March, according to the state Department of Mines and Minerals.
