Special days - Father’s day, Children’s day

Father’s Day

Once a year a special day is set aside to reward the mouse of the house for his strong and silent service. In 1924 Cal Coolidge concluded that it could cost the government nothing-so he proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Dads are commonplace commodities, but each has his individuality. As an overwrought lad he nervously awaits the new arrival that will make him a father, an experience followed by years of watchful care. As the little one grows a Dad is a big help over hurdles and in arithmetic (until his cumbersome solutions stop suiting modern mathematics). Dad means instilled confidence on a parity with a grown man yet treated as a pal until twenty-five years are too much of an edge in a tennis match.

Dad is a man whose stern discipline met our own stern often, but he was, in retrospect, sincere and not really tough at all. A Dad can be a bumbling, well-meaning lout who’s putty in the hands of his family . . . but Sunday is his day to really rule the roost!

Children’s Day

Mother has her day; Dad has his … and we observe a week for being kind to animals. But nobody’s ever set a day aside for Junior. School’s out now. Some kids graduated and some went to higher grades, but they’ve all passed another milestone.

We bust our buttons about the Great American Heritage we’re passing on to these youngsters, when in fact our founding forefathers created it and passed it down to us. All we’ve done is plaster it with mortgages, and who’s going to pay our debts? We aren’t … we just build bigger budgets and rarely balance them. Our “boisterous brats” will have to bail us out.

Common decency calls for buttering up the chap who picks up the tab. The older generation responsible for bungling world affairs should at least create a “Be Kind to Kids Day.”
