Dunbar 273-2934 Next Sunday, the second Sunday in May, is that special day set aside to remember Mother. Thank goodness motherhood is one special gift Womens Lib can't take away from the female sex. I'm a firm believer in Womens Lib used constructively. Too often in her fight for greater liberties woman has lost her greater superiority. It is to mothers we owe most of what we really are. Those first formative years are really character builders. Society can only develop the material mother has provided. It wasn't until 1908 there was any public recognition of the importance of motherhood. Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia Pennsylvania secured recognition from her Church, for all mothers, with a Special Service on May 10, 1908 the anniversary of her mothers death. It is set aside now by Presidential Proclamation as a special day to pay honor to all mothers. My dear little mother is gone but I shall say a prayer of thankfulness to her for all the good things in life she gave to me. * * * * * * Last Sunday the Fred McCumbers of Rough and Ready celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.
