Ducuc “(lull a. we; ouvanv Unselfishness. When an average wife decides to be- come a. Mother she bargains in the majority of instances to give up to a considerable degree, parties, theatres, friendly visits, quiet, latest clothes, ease and a few other such trifles. The “Mother” we idealize is unselfishness epitom- Sunday next will be observed as MOTHERS’ DAY,'and everywhere tribute will be paid to MOTHER. The celebra- tion of this day is no idle sentimentality, and although it may be commercialized to a degree this does not detract from the noble sentiment which inspired the setting aside of one day in the year in honor of the Mothers. “A word there is the angels know And speak to one another, The highest name the Holiest Loveâ€" On earth we call itâ€"Mother.” Among the many beautiful qualities exemplified by our Mothers there are twelve which stand outâ€"a little taller than the rest. , _ _ . . . .

From the first days when she starts plan- ning little filmy, lacy things, all the way up through the prospective newcomer’s babyhood, childhood, youth and sometimes maturity, foresightedness stands out is one of the qualities making up the power of a Mother’s love. Companionship- A real Mother plays with her children, realizing that thereby others have entertained the great unawares. The memory of her companionship has conâ€" siderable to do with her power over them down the years. .‘uAnu axucxauic uv uu 'IAV‘L an.“ .. v- .. Constancy of Loyalty. There is a discerning, under- standing, tolerant something which can come into a womâ€" an’s heart when motherhood comes, which in storm and sunshine, sickness and health, adversity and wealth, keeps sunshine, sickness and health, adversny and wealtn, Keeps her constant. HEROISM. The names 0f some of the world’s greatest heroes are not posted on the wall of the Halls of Fame. Here is a clipping: “Widowed with six children â€" working by day, planning by night, inspiring them always by her heroism, she saw each child become a member of .the church, go toicollege and finally started on a good life’s work. , :_ n.4‘1...._...,.,\ TLA u .I.AvvuAAAD a... v»----..... _-.. __o,, a petulant, snarling, grouching husband, who is so filled with babyish self-pity that he wants attention of one form or another whenever he is around. Every man needs a cer- tain amount of mothering; and yet it should be advocated that every Mother stop babying her boys at least by the time they are ten, so that at twenty-five they will be look- ing for companions instead of someone to adopt them. ‘ Vision. Who is it hopes for the best for every child? Who dreams and plans for the future for the entire family? Who holds the highest ideals? MOTHER! Mothers have vision to see underlying virtues rather than surface faults, enabling them to tolerate and help all seeming failures in their children. They seem to see through the outer strife, they visualize the inner life, and know that sometime and somewhere the results of their work will manifest. This is why in all moral and religious effort, when others be- come weary of well-doing, women with strong motherly instincts, keep On. They have Vision to know that “in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” v vv ‘1 _..°‘. . Endurance. Linked with heroism is endurance. The power of a Mother’s love keeps her doing for those she loves until we all cannot but marvel at her endurance- Many Mothers could not keep up were it not that they beâ€" come good philosophers and put the spirit of joy into their work. They endure also because they learn not to fret over the future, knowing that only a day can be lived at a time. It is to be hoped that in addition to her hard work, no Mother has to endure personal slights and lack of love. Penetration. Perhaps it is their vision that gives Mothers the power of penetration. Mothers can get the truth out of a miscreant when no one else can. You may say that you feel well or that you are happy, but if you are lying you don’t fool Mother. Mother’s love penetrates to the heart of the” hardest criminal. No man is wholly bad if for no other reason than that in part his Mother’s life penetrates his own. A man may tear away from his Mother’s apron-strings; but, if she be a good woman he can never completely get away from her heart-strings. -u.vv-.v- -.y.._. _- _._....,_ Patience. Whaicvrgduires morE patience than a baby, or a fretting freshman in high_schqol?‘ N9thing, pnless it is 0-11 , ,1 Faith. When nobody believes in you, your Mother’s faith is still unshaken- “When all the world forsakes you, Mother will be all the world to you.” A Mother’s faith is a sort of sympathy with understanding. Pendulums always swing back, and intuitively, Mothers seem to faith things through when the outlook for her dear ones is dark. Reverence. Reverence for God and all things sacred is the foundation quality that makes for power in a Moth- er’s love. Perhaps this is because Mothers are the closest and most direct “laborers together with God.” The re- ligious life of the world would suffer greatly were it not for Mothers. Richmond Hill and district joined hands with the rest of the Empire in the Jubilee celebrations on Monday. It was a notable celebration throughout the Empire and the event was fittineg marked in Richmond Hill and Reeve Greene, Mr. D. R. Frisby, chairman of the program commit- tee, and all those who worked with thim are deserving of thanks and commendation. We have a wise and great monarch who has given good leadership through a difficult period, and as Canadians We were glad to join in the fes- tivities and it was a tribute to His Majesty that the cele- brations were so spontaneous and so heartily entered into by people everywhere. Jubilee celebrations are a good thing. They invite serions thinking and reflection and turn out thoughts to the cavalcade of progress. It is interesting to recall the pro- gress of the past twenty-five years. It is still more inter- esting to speculate as to what will take place in the next twenty-five years. Jubilee celebrations throughout the Empire made me- morable the twenty-fifth anniversary in the reign of His Majesty George V. We are happy that Richmond Hill had a part in that great Empire-wide celebration. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD. J.

When the Dionne Quintuplets celebrate the first anni- versary of their birth on May 28, the Ontario Department of Welfare will seek to focus attention on children much less fortunate than the famous babies of Callander, the children Who have to spend their childhood in Ontario’s Children’s Shelters. Hon. Davir Croll, Minister of Welfare, is not forgetful of these children and the week in which falls May 28th will be known as “Adopt a Child Week.” In the midst of the celebration which will mark the first birthday of the quintuplets, Mr. Croll will urge childless couples and those whose children have grown up, to adopt a child. There are nearly 1,000 children in the province who lack the love of a father and mother. While they are given excellent treatment in the institutions, they are not living normal, natural lives, and it is the Wish of the Minister of Welfare that they be given an opportunity to develop men- tally and physically in the proper environment. “Adopt a Child Week” is a unique experiment and it is hoped the results will be gratifying. “What these children need are mothers and fathers,” said Mr. Croll, in discussing the problem. “There are plenty of childless couples who could supply this need. The birth of the Dionne Quintuplets brought world-wide attention on these babies who are growing into healthy, beautiful chil- dren. That interest is greater than ever to-day, but we must not forget the children whose pictures have never appeared in the newspapers, whose everyday life is not recorded minutely in the press. Those children should be given a chance. Let us try to take these children out of the shelters and make them sons and daughters instead of wards of the Government.” Plans for the birthday party of the quintuplets are approaching completion. A radio broadcast throughout Canada in which the babies themselves will take part, has been arranged. In the opinion of Mr. Croll no better time could be found to interest the public in the homeless chil- dren than when the five babies of Northern Ontario are recording the first anniversary of their extraordinary birth. By John Edwin Price Are you bored? Do you crave change? Is the going hard? Are things wrong with your world? Thoughts start actions which change things. Here are some helpful thoughts. The Chem Printing Company of Winter Park, Florida, has recently put out a little book by Charles Henry Mackintosh which I believe will stir your cog wheels. Excuse me, I meant your COGitation wheels. Why do I think so? Because it stirred mine and they are somewhat rutâ€"rusted. Parts of the little tome may make you mad. I think Mac has muffed some of the best thoughts available but then his experiences have made men of im- portance put him at the head of national and international organizations having to do particularly with thinking. On page twenty-nine of “On Human Egoism” he starts to say: “1‘1,, 1 -. ___, NV..- .0, vv Vu‘, “Maybe we can change environment. If we don’t like what the one we are in is doing to us, We can pick up our dolls and toys and move to some more promising place- “If we can’t do that, either because we haven’t passage money, or because We are hobbled with a job and a family, we can do things to the old environment instead of simply letting it do'things to us. “We can rearrange the furniture in the living-room. “We can reâ€"paper or re-kalsomine the walls. “We can buy a dog, a cat and a canary. “We can invite the wife’s mother to visit us for a month “We could even buy a bunch of books and send our minds travelling through them, exploring half a hundred other universes of romance and adventure and science, with- out ever leavmg our armchairs. “Or we could buy some brushes, some paints and some canvas and take up painting. “Or if We don’t now, we could go in for gardening. “Oh, there are plenty of things We can do to alter an old environment. “Go on and think of a few for yourself.” Mac then goes on to say that perhaps we need to clean up our old thought attics. But I won’t go into that. What business have I snooping around your attic. You know What’s there. If you like mental housecleaning or thought re-arranging Mac’s book will help, at least parts of it. At any rate things are never so bad but what they might be worse. At least that is What Mose claimed when the Judge blew his chicken-stealing brother’s head off with a shot gun. Mose said the Judge might have done his shooting the night before and then pore Mose would have Lnn.‘ -‘_.___n A been minus a cogitator BY ROSS FARQ UHAR CHANGE THINGS WHERE YOU ARE THINK OF THOSE WHO NEED A “MOTHER’S LOVE” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Phone HYland 2081 Open Evenings Eve.
