SP 2-5904 mm MAIL TRIBUNE IPoUpaDnniriri If you're one of those jaundiced individuals who believe that Mother's day, like many other holidays and observances in this United States, is getting a bit top-heavy, just blame it all on Frank E. Hering of Indianapolis and Mrs. Anna Jarvis of Phila delphia. They, are credited with beginning the whole thing. Mr. Hering, a former editor the national magazine of the Eagles lodge, delivered an address way back in February of 1904 in which he paid homage to mothers and suggested a special day in her honor. According to a release from United Press, Mrs. Jarvis visualized the idea of a national Mothers' day while planning a memorial service for her own mother in Philadelphia. On the second Sunday in May, 1908, Mothers' day was observed throughout Philadelphia. Mrs. Jarvis favorite flower was the carnation, so this blossom was chosen as the flower for Mothers' day, with red for living mothers and white for those deceased. Homage to mother actually goes back much further, accord ing to the UP writer. Ancient Romans honored Hilaria, their mother-goddess, each March 14. With the advent of Christianity, the Mother Church and the Madonna, typifying that which is beautiful in motherhood, were honored. In England "Mothering Sunday" a day on which youthful apprentices were permitted to return to their homes was observed during the 17th century. If the distance home was too great, the boys were expected to send notes or letters in effect, the first Mothers' day cards. Hark, my readers, to the story of Subversive, the gopher. Little Subversive (he's in the underground) lives in the vacant lot next door to Mrs. John Ostrander, at the corner of Bessie and Saling streets. But Mrs. Ostrander doesn't mind. He works for her. All day long Subversive tunnels back and forth, busily loos ening up the soil. Then Mrs. O. Goes out with a shovel and pail and carries this nice loose soil to her own flower beds. One of Mrs. Ostrander's neighbors has been watching this little garden saga with interest for a week now and then accused Mrs. O. of employing slave labor. And how do Mrs. Ostrander and her neighbor know that Subversive isn't a gopher, but a mole? 1 When the phone rang early last Monday morning and the polite operator asked if we would accept a collect call from New York, Potpourri's heart leaped. It must be trouble! But the calm voice said "I've called to give you a news item, mother. We're going to Europe." And that is news. The young soldier has been assigned to duty in Europe (the usually accurate Army grapevine said it would be Germany) and his wife -will follow before long. And now the mailbox will be watched more closely than ever, for added to the excitement of Potpourri planning a trip east is the excitement of the journey abroad. And wouldn't it be sad if both of them have left for Europe before mother's vaca tion starts? "MVc m q rlirc T? nlirf enn who snake for the UN convention last week end, spent most of her time the past six years in Middle East countries. She says the Arabs like Americans, and their sense of humor, and Mrs. Robertson seems to like the Arabs.
