In fact, fathers in a lot of
countries like it China liket it
so much that they obsenre Fath
er's Day twice a year mere, in tne
Spring and Fail.
Oh sure, it's a different kind
of Father's Day. Just as it is in
Canada, Sweden, Haiti, Honduras
and anywhere else that Father's
Day is celebrated. But the idea's
' the same to honor the guy who
brings home the bacon.
Started in Spokane
In case you're wondering now
Father's Day began, the credit
belongs to Mrs. John Bruc Dodd
of Spokane, Wash. It was at Mrs.
Dodd's suggestion that the Spo
kane Ministers Alliance spon
sored the first city-wide Father's
Dav ceremony some 43 years ago.
Shortly afterwards this organi
zation circulated a petition to
other church and civic leaders.
Their plan was to emphasize such,
fundamentals of family life as:
Father's place in the home: safe
guarding the marriage tows; and
the proper raising of children.
Gradually the aid of city and
state officials was enlisted. Na
tional interest in Mrs. Dodd's ef-
i ort to honor fathers everywhere
was aroused, and other localities
were soon holding annual Fath
er's Day ceremonies. Then in
1924 President Calvin Coolidge
recommended Father's Day be
observed throughout the nation.
Bote Official Flower
That same year Bible class
in Wilkinsburg, Pa., hit the news
papers by suggesting adoption of
the dandelion at the official
Father's Day flower because
"the more it is trampled on, the
more it grows."
Most communities were ftbt im
pressed. The rose was adopted
instead. But a keynote for Fath
er's Day had been fountL'Senti
ments sincere, affectionate and
topped off with a dash of good
natured humor have ' been in
style ever since.
Stamps In
The News
By SYD KRONISH
When a pretty woman is made
to appear uncomely in a portrait,
her fondest admirers protest vo
ciferously. When that lovely lady
happens to be the newly crown
ed Queen Elizabeth, and her por
trait on a new Canadian com
memorative stamp is distorted,
then millions of her subjects rise
up in arms.
The new Canadian stamp

stirred up t flood of protests. In
cluding newspaper editorials. The
complaint is that the new stamps
are shoddy and make the radiant
ruler look ugly.
Canadian postal officials, bear
ing the brunt of the attack, are
at a loss to explain the situation.
They had chosen a photograph
of the Queen, received her ap
proval and put the stamps into
the regular channels.
However, somewhere in the en
graving process something went
wrong. The profile portrait de
picted Queen Elizabeth as an eld
erly, sharp-nosed, haggard souL
The shading around the cheeks
gave the impression that she
needed a shave!
The postal officials hope the
supply will be exhausted quickly.
And they probably will, too, since
this is a coronation issue which
many collectors will be anxious
to obtain. -'
The last of Japan's tourist se
ries depicts the Kintal Bridge,
long famous for Its wooden arch
es. The bridge, was washed away
during a flood in 1950 but has
since been rebuilt on the same
site. The 10-yen brown adhesive
shows the bridge as it appeared
formerly. The 24-yen blue shows
it as it is today.

the salmon runs. Each year, too, Waldport sponsors a salmon
derby, one ef nunerons such sporting events along Oregon's 400-
mile Pacific ocean parkway. Most of these fishermen ere partici
pating in tne derby. Taking Dad en a fishing trip would be a novel
and appreciated way to spend Father's Day. .
New Sweaters

sportswear, knit-wear for men of
fers a broad realm of new de

ing plaids, tattersall checks and
small stripes , is widely popular

vests with their suits.
Comfort Rules Shoos for Vacation
When it corneal to summer time
footwear, the man-cn-ihe-go gets

because the new "slip ens' have'
succeeded in combining the com
fort of the "loafer" type shoe with
the trim tailored appearance of
the traditional laced bal or bluch-
er. :.'.: J
The only noticeable difference
in many instances is that the new
slip-ons have no strings to them.
Thus, his majesty the vacation

fine gift for Father's Day '

Father Will Want More Than
One Swim Suit in His Beach Kit
Whether the male goeto the
mountains, to the seashore or
just touring, father's vacation
time wardrobe is incomplete
without not just one but at least
two bathing trunks. The rule is
never to wear a wet pair. The
chances are, wherever he goes,
a dry pair will always come in
handy.
And if it is to the seashore or
a lake region rest or hotel, or a
cruise toward which he's heading,
then beachwear, which means
more than just a pair of trunks, is
is a must.
Beachwear includes robes.
jackets and sandals as well as
trunks: robes for promenading
from i hotel or cabana or state
room to beach or pool; jacket far
wear when the breezes grew cool;
sandals to protect from burning
sands.
Terry cloth robes that 'double
as beach shirts and towels are
available. Jackets that resist the
wetness, protect from the wind
and have roomy pockets for cig
arets. sunglasses or what have
you, are smartly designed, and
will serve other than beachwear
uses.
Fabrics, as in the instance of
women's beachwear, offer new
swim suits that dry quickly, are
light and pack easily.
Because of lack of coal and
oil 85 per cent of Sweden's rail
traffic is powered by electricity
supplied by water power.
Spin Fishing Wins
Big Favor Among
Anglers of Nation
Spin-fishing described by many
as by far the easiest to master,
is rapidly becoming one of the
nation's most popular methods of
sports fishing.
Using rod, reel, line and lures,
it differs from bait and fly cast
ing in that it employs a station
ary spool that makes a backlash
impossible. Line is finer, lures
are lighter than those used in
bait casting and heavier than the
artificial fly, and can be east for
greater distances.
Spinning makes it easy to shoot
a lure from any position under
the most adverse conditions. Spin
fishing may be used in any type
of water from shaUow inland
stream to the ocean, .'-'i; -?
