HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 1. 1919
ARGE ATTENDANCE AT
FATHER AND SON BANQUET
The Father & Son banquet given
riday night by the Civic Club in
lack’s hall was one of the big
rents of Hermiston and an unqual-
ed success, voted so by those most
ale judges of all things gastrono-
lc, father and son.
Nearly two hundred tickets were
ild, and every one came. In accor-
mce with the patriotic spirit which
rompted the celebration, the hall
ras gayly decorated with an abun-
ànce of flags and bunting.
Potted plants were on each table
rith the exception of the center
able where a big red, white and
lue Liberty Bell held the place of
onor. Tiny flags were at each
late.
The young matrons of the town
erved as waitresses and the kitchen
vas under the direction of Mrs.
lunn.
The Hermiston Orchestra and a
uartette composed of Messrs. Prime,
traw, Rees & Akers furnished music
luring the evening.
Toastr -ster Gunn introduced the
olio-ving boys lately returned from
he service: Earl Kingsley, Wm.
ik, Hollis Percey, Dale Hinkle,
‘rank Stone, Harold Sullivan, and
,'has. Rheberge, who spoke interest-
ngly of camp, sea, and aviation
rork.
Father Butler and Rev. Gallaher
poke along more serious lines re-
arding the relation of fathers to
ward their sons, Mr. Gunn read a
jumorous poem by and
about
'Mother,” and the festivities closed
rith three cheers and a tiger for the
adies of the Civic Club.
Here’s the poem:
and son! It sounds quite fine
And is both right and proper,
bit with no mother on the job
They’d come an awful cropper!
ather
hey strut about with manly pride,
Their chests distended far,
lut where’d they be, I'm asking you.
If it hadn’t been for ma?
ust stop and figure out a bit;
Let’s get down to brass tacks,
Vith mother gone, there’d be no son.
Now aren’t these solid facts,
Vho wiped away his childish tears?
Who also wiped his nose?
Who washed his hands every hour?
Who also washed his clothes?
Did father ever clean him up
Until he shone like gold?
Did father ever stop a meal
His howling child to hold?
Does father say “now sonny, don’t?”
Or "sweetheart, now please do?”
He says "for heaven’s sake, shut up;”
Or he’s stubborn, Just like you.”
We crave no laurels from your brow,
No stars from out your crown.
But if mother weren’t the life-line
Father and son would drown.
