Mother's Day Specials Exchange vows in NY church. Elected head of WO assn Shortly after 1 am Thursday, Lucanites were aroused freni their first sleep by the fire alarm, to find the Clarence Lewis barber shop was ablaze, in what might have been an- other disastrous firefor Lucan. Fortunately Don S i rn p son, Jim Goble, and David Graft of the Koffee Kup Restaurant, ,saw the blaze, broke open the doer and with a hand extinguisher had the fire partially under control by the time the flre engine ar, rived, "Another five minutes," Fire Chief Alex Young said, "we would have had a real fire." As it was, the interior of the Pick officers for Birr WI We have the nicest se- lection for your Mother's Day gift: sterling silver and costume jewelry, hosiery, cups and saucers and many individual items suitable for each and every taste, And you know what "us" are like during the other 364 days. Us eat like hogs and vanish, leaving Mother with the dishes. Us walk across Ma's clean floor with our swamp- soiled hip waders. Us stay out too late and make Mummy's nerves shriek. Us arise on Mom's third clarion call in the a.m. and bawl her out for not waking us up on time. Us come home from school and take abig wedge out of the cake Ma has baked for the church tea. Us spill gravy on our clean blouses Lucan Gift Shop like a Roman, candle in the morning, and Continue to ex- plode at regular intervals all day, They drive their kids and bully their husbands. They decorate at the drop of a color chart. They move the furniture around. They join clubs and terrorize the other mothers in them. They flee down the short corridor Of life as though pur- pled by a Stream of molten lava. And somewhere bet wean these extremes are all the other lnothers, like yours and mine. Oh, they are not all perfeet, our mothers. They are not gentle, little, old, silver-haired ladies who smile and mind their own business and hand out cook- ies. There are saints and sin- ners, golfers and gad-abouts, naggers and flappers and nip- pers among them. But they're the real mothers, and they can be forgiven any of their little foibles. They are the women who bore children proudly, played with them joyfully, taught them care- fully, and walloped them with aching heart when they had to. They are the mothers who nursed their children with ten- derness when they were ill, kissed their bumps when they fell, listened to their troubles with sympathy, and showed them 227.4632 Mrs, .1. S.

Dedicate new flags Finds cash token half-century old Mrs. Ernie Ross, while dig- ging a flower bed Saturday found an old token still in good re- pair. On one side were the words "Good for 25C worth of merchandise" and on the other side , "James Park's, Cash Store, Lucan." Mr. Park operated the store, which is now the Koffee Kup over 60 years ago and built, and lived, in the house now oc- cupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Shipway and family on Alice St. So in all likelihood the token has lain hidden for a half cen- tury or more. and chuck them into Mom's laundry. Us decorate door- knobs, chairbacks and floors with our clothes, because Mom gets a big kick out of putting things away. Us drive Mother right up the wall. Daily. Mothers come in three sizes: regular, large and family size, They come in several shades; red with rage, white with fear and gray with exhaustion. Some are roly-poly-looking. But every single one of them is a martyr, and I say it without irony. Martyrs are people who Were burned at the stake, just once, Mothers burn all day and every day. Mothers are like farmers. They plant the seed carefully in the only ground they have to work -- their children -- nur- ture it with care, watch with deep delight as the first green shoots appear, tremble lest they be flattened by the elements, view with pride the ripening stalks, and recoil with horror when the crop turns out to be wild oats. Some mothers are like hens. They sit on their offspring until the kids are either rotten or half-baked. Others are 1 ik e cats. They birth their young, feed them well until they can eat by themselves, then give them a lick and let them fend for them- selves. Some mothers swear, drink beer, and run around town after men. Most mothers bear, drink tea, and run around the block looking for their kids at supper- time. Some mothers -- and I hate to say it at this semi-sacred time -- are slobs. They sit around drinking coffee in their bathrobes. The only time they get out of their slippers is when they go out to play bingo.They whine incessantly at kids and husbands. Their household gods are the can-opener, the freez- ing compartment and the tele- vision set. They have runs in their stockings, curlers in their hair, and aching backs. Some mothers are just the opposite. They are hell on high heels. They are out of bed Mrs. Emerson Stanley was elected president of the Birr WI , at the annual meeting, held at the home of Mrs. Ivan Stan- ley.
