There are ■ special cards for the wife , . , or sev­ eral members of the family»,... to give. Father — often in brown leatherette with gold embossing, with short verses, The humourous contemporary card , will be the choice of many, whether it’s wishing Dad “a real swinging Father’s " Day”—-with Dad in’a hammock that actually swings when the cardl is opened, or whether it greets Dad with a nice warm message from the whole farnily: It’s Father’s Day Dad, and the members of Our-Family, after careful consideration, have decided to make YOU “KING FOR A’DAY” (complete with a giant medal, to that effect). According to the designers, the first Father’s Day on record was observ­ ed in the State of Delaware, U.S.A,, in 1913 oh the first Sunday in June. In subsequent. years, it has come to be plastic sailfish set against a fishing —probably so as to keep it an appropri- scene. There’s even a complete outdoor ate distance from Mom’s Day.

Oh sure, there’s gentle fun or sophisticated jabs poked at the °old man” —• but no mean “putting him down”. ■ ' Sons and daughters in 1966 will apparently buy more expensive Father’$ , Day cards, predict the company’s trend­ experts, with stress on masculine de­ signs like fishing, golf, barbecuing, sail­ ing. Many of them will have extra fun­ touches like a miniature fishing game or golf game (score card ’n all), a gold ship’s wheel embossed on a blueprint of a windjammer, an embossed blue celebrated on the third Sunday in June I A Warning About Pesticides cover legs and arms.

It may also mask — though “Mask”’ is not the most suitable word in this * connection — exasperation that weather can get to be as, fascinating as it some­ times does. It is not the good weather that fascinates us. / Consider4 May. A, nasty month,^on the whole. The reason is interesting.

Terrible Teens are at it again. Riot in Montreal. Riot in Toronto's Yorkville. Teen-age boy charged with' iglue-sniffing. Girls nailed with bundle of marijuana. Students picketing everything but the. public lavatories .# Searching articles by sbci- •ologists point out the obvious: that teen-agers are rebellious, resentful of adults, eager to experiment; Anxiety-ridden, reckless, sensitive, moody. Any parent knows all 'that. "Probing” ahid "sensitive” TV programs point out . some more t of the obvious: that teen-aigers like power ('boats, cars, motorbikes; but not' lawnmowers); that they like music with a big beat1,' that they lik& members of the op­ posite sex* Anybody who is not blind and deaf knows all that. * What’s all the fuss about, then? Is it a lot bf overblown sensationalism in the mass media? Tm rib sociologist, but I have been a teen-ager, I have. two of them under my roof; and I teach swarms of them, every day, so I have some qualifications, however ama­ teurish, to speak a fiehe. Let’s tty to lobk at the whole thing coolly. They did inherit a pretty cruddy world. Their freshness and idealism is soured at every turn by the massive march of material­ ism. Man is aiming at the . ■stars with his feet ' firmly mired in the mud. And. over ■all hangs the threat of an­ nihilation. What do they want? They want to sweep away all the old shibboleths and start fresh. They want to be their brother’s keeper. They want to communicate. But every Way they turn, they are con­ fronted iby the great, passive resistance from a society con­ structed by adults for the. comfort and convenience of adults. Who wouldn’t be frus­ trated? Students wouild like to take over 'the universities.”And re­ membering sbme of the de­ plorable professors and re- diculous courses I was sub­ jected to, I don’t blame them. They’d like to have the. volte at 18. And this might be a good, thing. It would, mean nobody over 25 ‘Wodld’ dare to run fob public office. In this way we might get rid of vast numbers of the incompe­ tent politicians we now have at every level of government. ' They’d like to be able to drink legally at 18 (instead of illegally at' 16) * This, too, in the long run, might turn’ out well. The resultant slaughter on the highways ■might ruin a few insurance companies, but at IOdSt it Wiild help control the popu­ lation explosion we hear so much about.
