Attention all Sunday School farn- tlies- Our annual Family B&ruquct has Awn scheduled for May 22. Mark this date on your calendar for an infernal evening of good food and fun. Happy Maker's Day to all ,"rnoms"! p I amrille. I -have one. All of youlMher have or had one. One day my daughters may be one. I know my husband and son can never be one. Some famous ones are Queen Elizabeth (11 not I), .Flzire Dionne, and Whistler's. Of course, with the second Sunday in May fast approaching, I am talking about mothers, and the special day set aside to honour them this year, May 10. In our home we never had a great many traditions associated . with Mother's Day. No breakfast in bed, or anything like that, there was always some small gift for mom and we all tried at least for that one day not to fight with each other quite as muchras we normally did. I can remember though, going out to the garden before church to pick a coloured flower to wear on my coat, it had to be a coloured one because my mother was alive, white would have meant she wasn't. In England and in many other countries, a day was always set-aside in the church for honouring mothers. It came during mid Lent and was called Mothering Sunday. • In 1872, it was suggested that in the United States June 2 be set aside as Mother's Day, a day dedicated to peace. For sever- al years on this day in Boston annual peace meetings were held. There were other attempts at celebrating Mother's Day, but it wasn't until 1912 that the Methodist Episcopal Church Conference passed a resolution that Mother's Day be celebrat- ed the second Sunday in May, and that there was any official recognition. In 1915, Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United States, proclaimed Mother's Day as a day ofannual ob- servance. Canada ttoon fdliowed suit and today Mother's Day is ob- served in many different countries in the world. Here is a simple:repipe that even:ihechildren can prepare if they wanuo•give mom aholidayfrom the kitchen. *Chicken Nectar Place in a.caaserole: 1 cut up chicken.orchicken parts (I usually skin them first.) .
