After lunch, he would recline on a blanket, in the shade. He was relaxed, that man. Another reason for his un- questioned head-of -the -h euse status was that we didn't argue with him. Now you have to dis- cuss everything with the brats, Today's father pan get into a 20-minute argument with any kid over the age of five, at the dreg of a. suggestion, And come out whimpering. One generation has turned fa- thers from giants to pygmies.

Nor did he have to break up quarrels among the children. They wouldn't have dared squabble, And on the weekend, my Bed wasn't expected to turn into a party boy. He was tired on Sat, urdaY night, and he went tobed. If he felt like going to church next day, he did. If he didn't, he didn't. But he wasn't pestered all day Sunday by kids wanting to be taken swimming, or wife wanting to go for a drive, or fehave somebody in." He made the decisions. 11 he just wanted to sit on the verandah and look at the grass growing, he did. Not that he was an ogre. Usu- ally, we went for a picnic on Sunday. But there wasn't any dam' foolishness about Dad doing the cooking on an outdoor grill. Mother made the lunch, New breed of pygmies Joseph Hepburn dies in London Joseph H.

Because he didn't see as much of his family as the p o d r, cripple-gutted creature who brings home the bacon to- day, Nowadays, father gets a day off. Does he potter in the gar- den? Does he go fishing? Does he play goli with the boys? Would it were so. He is kicked into the street with the children, while mother does whatever modern women do around holne, with $2,000 worth of labor-sav- ing machinery. There is nothing more piti- able than the sight of a father, on his day off, wandering for- lornly about a supermarket, trailed by two or three whining kids. When my Dad got home from work, he didn't have to set the table, run around looking for the kids, then jump in the car and go to get a quart of milk. Nor did tie have to ecpick up a few things on the way home," be- cause mother looked after her own shopping. No, sir. When my Dad got home from work, he was greet- ed affectionately, but politely, and left alone. He retired toHIS chair, and read HIS paper, until he was called for supper. During the meal, he was not forced to Well, father, how did you en- joy your day? Personally, Father's Day saddened me, as it saddens me each year. The mere existence of such a day is an indication of the new low to which the father has sunk in the family unit. Just a few de- cades ago, every day was fa- ther's day, and there was no fooling about it. When I was a kid, there was none of this nonsense of father helping around the house. Nowa- days fathers scrub the kitchen floor on their day off, and help with the dishes after dinner. In the good old days, father didn't have a day off, in the first place, and mother wouldn't have let him dry the dishes, in the second, because she knew her place, and his. Perhaps it's the increase in leisure time that has turned the head of the house into the foot of the family: a substitute baby- sitter; an unpaid domestic sla- vey; a handy walling-wail; and in general, a pale reflection of his dignified, respected male forebears. Until a couple of decades ago, father worked a six-day 60-hour week. But he didn't get ulcers, or drop dead at 45.
