An Official Day for Father? During a futile effort to look up some pertinent facts about Father’s Day to accompany the feature at the top of this page, we consulted several reference works. These volumes of facts and figures were virtually de void of any such information on Father’s Day. American Peoples Encyclopedia, bearing a 1952 copy right date, had a listing for “Father. See Family." Un der this entry we found a verbose essay on development of the family (including father as patriarch in some so cieties) as a social unit from man’s beginning, to less primitive times and to the present day . . . but not one word about Father’s Day! Incidentally, this same noble work devoted 248 words to the history" and customs of Mother’s Day. Included was the fact that in 1914, Congress authorized the Presi dent of the United States to designate, by annual proc lamation, the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. The usual proclamation requests display of the American flag on governmental buildings and private homes. The first edict was issued by President Woodrow Wilson on May 9, 1914. Among cited purposes is “to encourage men, women and children to honor home and parents." (Presumably father is included . . . but what about HIS DAY?) Mother’s Day also is “to be observed by some act of kindness to mother and father." (Apparently one of the acts of “kindness” by this reference is not to give “Pop” his “Day.”) Webster’s New World Dictionary (College Edition) is a little kinder to “the old man”—“Father’s Day, the third Sunday in June, a day set aside to honor fathers.” However, by referring to the generally considered lowly World Almanac (1965 issue), we find under “Days Usually Observed (Not legal or public holidays)” — “Father’s Day (June 20 in 1965). Always third Sun day in that month”. . . and that’s a few words about Father’s Day! Out of plain curiosity, we checked Encyclopaedia Brittanica (note British" spelling). This monumental work offered a scholarly discourse on father and his role throughout the entire history of man . . . but not one word about Father’s Day. We expected this, since we sensed the observance of a day for father was strict ly an American custom and practice. Anyway, fellows, come Sundav, June 19, 1966 . . . HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! . . . And those are our words for Father’s Day. SMILE A WHILE . . .
