EVERY DAY MOTHER’S DAY
“Many of us permit the weather to have an effect on
our minds, so natuarally some of us didn’t enjoy the
day because of an overcast sky and a steady drizzle,”
says the Portland News-Telegram.
“But now we are home enjoying the comforts and
pleasantries of the family fireside. What better time
than to think of Mother and Mother’s day which will
be upon us next Sunday?
“If the past is any guide to the future. Mother’s day
of 1936 will be marked by a great deal of useless gush.
“It seems to be a habit of ours to work ourselves up
to a perfect lather of sentimentality about something
one day in the year, and then to ignore it for 364 days.
“Not that the sentiment isn’t very pleasant and
touching. There is something heart-warming about
the custom of setting aside one day to let Mother know
that she is loved and appreciated. The flowers, the
little gifts, the extra sentiment that appear on Moth­
er’s day come from the heart, and it is good for us to
give them.
“But why must we try to pack it all into one day?
Why can’t we carry over a little sentiment for use the
rest of the year.”
A GREAT INSTITUTION
The Southern Oregon Normal School is an institut­
ion of which Ashland, its home, and the entire terri­
tory which it serves, are justly proud. In fact it is
much more than a mere institution of learning and of
training. It is an industry that pays handsome divi­
dends of culture and of helpfulness.
The events of the past week-end brought to Ashland
many prominent educators as well as several hundred
teachers whose work is of equal importance, and also
brought large numbers of fathers and mothers of stu­
dents for the annual Parents entertainment.
Next Saturday the Normal is sponsoring the annual
track and field rheet for ten secondary high schools
of the county. Teams will be here from Butte Falls,
Central Point. Eagle Point, Gold Hill. Jacksonville,
Phoenix. Prospect, Rogue River. Sams Valley, and

TO THE VOTERS OF
JACKSON COUNTY
In Jerusalem, centuries ago, says
the Milwaukee Journal, a Francis
can lay brother curved a figure of
the Holy Child out of a piece of live
weed from the garden of Gethsem­
ane When It was finished a great
despair fell upon him. because he
did not understand the use of pig-
ments, ami the Hanihlno needml the
coloring of Childhood to make It per
feet.
After long hours of fasting and
prayer the brother fell asleep, ami
theu an unseen hand painted the
statue with lifelike colors. When
he awoke he knew at once that St.
Luke, the Holy Family's chosen
painter, had come In answer to his
praia'r and given his art to beautify
the figure.
A statue so favored must tune
the choicest place. Ou the Uapltollne
hill In Rome, on the site of the an­
cient citadel and the temple of Juno
Monets, is the Franciscan church
of Sail Marla In Ara Coell. Close
by Is the spot where the Emperor
Augustus saw the Blessed Virgin
upon au altar lu heaven—am! from
this vision the church derives Its
uauie.
Tenderly the lay brother
wrapped the precious statue, care­
fully made it ready for the voy­
age from Palestine to Rome, anx­
iously besought the ship's captain
to bring it safe to land. The ship
was wrecked in a storm, but the
good augels watched over the Bam­
bino.
it was washed ashore at
Leghorn, and from there was sent
to tlie chosen church at Koine.
The Bambino was placed in the
sacristy, and soon begun to show
miraculous powers.

There’s none like a mother’to soothe away care,
And comfort your heartaches and woes.
You don’t have to tell her the troubles that grind,
For the sweet, patient darling, she knows.
If you're down in the gutter, she'll follow you there,
With soft words and blessings and cheer;
She will love and defend you when others condemn,
When the world turns away with a sneer.
No friend like a mother; no heart that’s more true;
No blessing more bright than her love;
It encompasses all, from the nethermost depth
To the white, gleaming portals above.
She knows all your failings, your weekness and wants,
She believes with a faith that’s sublime;
And her tender affection, though often betrayed,
Grows deeper and stronger with time.
How oft in life’s conflicts, when false friends deride,
When the waves of despair madly foam,
We long for the touch of her soothing caress,
And the welcome that waits us at home.

And so in athletics, classics, art, science, and train­
ing for teachers, the Normal serves. It serves in
many other ways, and its influence reaches far. And
it not only brings fame to Ashland, but with visitors
it attracts on special occasions and the number of
students enrolled, it is a big boost in a material way.
Ashland is proud of the Normal, and the Normal is
proud of Ashland. There is.no finer location in the
State of Oregon.
