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.
