urely Father's Day is the
insignificant. occasion on
calendar. EVerybody knows
ell Sunday in May is Moth-
s Day, but there's a good deal
confusion in the minds of
st people about the other
e, and were it not for our_
od friends the merchants who
e us not to forget "Dear Old
d,' it would probably slip
as quietly as Whit Sunday.

is not difficult to understand
S vagueness. Not too many
ars ago, every day was Fath•
s day. But in the symphony
today's family, father is the
t chord. The family circle
longer centres on father. It
s become an arc, the pendul-
swinging between Mom and
e kids.
:r. :t: a:.
om the tjme we can lisp
omnia,"• we -are fed a lot of
about motherhood. Mother
n do no wrong; Mother is . a
ave little soul; Mummy knows
st; Mom works too -hard; Mo-
er is always there when she's
eded; nobody can cook like
m; Mother's nerves are bad;
at could we do without Ma-
t; and so on. There's a certain
-
ount of truth in it all, but.
at I object to is turning
other into a bushel basket
der which father's once -bright
riot is well hidden.
Oh, for the good old days,
when Father was head of the
house, and everybody "knew it,
When he _sat, down at the head
of the fable, there was a re-
spectful, if not fearful, silence.,
The kids sat in rows at each
side, silent until spoken to.
The women scurried around
with proper humility, fetching
the steaming dishes, holding
their breaths while Father test-
ed the carving knife, sighing
with - relief when he waxed
benevolent under the charm of
food. ,
' *
In those golden days, Father's
comfort, well-being, and peace
of mind were the prime requis-
ites of a happy home. His light-
est opinion was gospel. His
wrath was awful to contemplate.
You.didli't need household gods;
you had Father.
m * *-
If Father said women should-
n't be allowed behind the wheel
of a car, They s`houlcfn't, and
that's alt there was to it. If
he declared there were no fish
in that "crick," there weren't.
If he .believed that the Grits
(or Tories) were "a pack of
damned thieves," they were. If
he told you to get to bed, you
got.
}: >k *
By what subtle and fiendish
alchemy has Father been trans-
formed from a giant into a
figure of fun, a national joke,
a stooge on third-rate family

To Raze School
At Lochalsh
LOOHALSH.--The attractive
red brick school at Lochalsh is
to fall to the wrecker's hammer.
The Lochalsh school section
joined the North Ashfield Cen-
tral School Area, and a new cen-
tral, school was built on conces-
sion 12, Ashfield.
The Lochalsh school, situated
close to Highway 86 at the Loch-
alsh-Kintail sideroad, is a traf-
fic hazard, and in keeping with
the swift march of progress,
must go.
The Department of Highways
called the sale and stipulated
that the building be removed
or demolished prior to July 8th,
1963.
With John Alexander of
Wingham wielding the auction-
eer's gavel, the "sale" went off
as scheduled but the "bidders"
were few. In fact, the Depart-
ment will have to pay a Brus-
sels district k $650 to
demolish

Fading Tulips
Fading tulips are ;always a
problem to the home- gardener;
theseare a few suggestions _from
horticulturists with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture on
the otter.blossom treatment of
tulips.
" Remove Pods
First remove the seed pods.
This enables the bulbs to store
more food. If the -beds are re-
quired for other plants it may
be desirable to remove the tul-
ips along with -the soil, to a
less conspicuous part. of the
garden and a4bheeI" them in.
Here the plants will complete
their growth and. the stalks will
die away naturally. Whtn they
have completely died down, dig,
clean and store , the bulbs in a
cool, dry room until planting
time in the -fall.
Leave Them
Or if there is room just leave
the bulbs 'in the garden and.
plaht annuals between them.
Remove the foliage of the tul-
ips after it yellows and dies
away.
The average income of 199,-

average income of 3,868,185 em{
