I am expectantly awaiting the day, pro-,
bjahly in the_ not too distant fixture, when
honor will be paid to the country's old liquid t
aunts and bachelor uncles by designated cal
endar date; Y'hen’*,ull of the uncounted thou

gowns and velvet smoking jackets to, receive
the .homage of devot-ed nieces, and. nephews
Only trouble is, with family,day ideas ha-'
tching out ** at* their present rate* the'day
will probably arrive-, before the editorial"
locks are silvery cn.ough to blend with the
lavender flowers,
‘However, since.the custom has been fixed”
and since i;c morrow is indubitably Dad*s' day
the Frontiersman may as well go along with
the crowd and carry an editorial designed td
give Seldovia's dads.all credit due them*
Only, on second thought, there.seems to
be so little for’ -which a Seldovi^. dad can be
given credit. Pfc 's~.. quite a privilege, as
well as a responsibility, to be a father add
the pivot around which .a Jious e.hold revolves"*
But who'd ever guess it by locking at Soldo”
via*s children and near-children.
Probably no one Person in- the household
is more responsible for. the preation of-a
happy home life than a father is’-, i. mo
ther's chores of housekeeping, baby-tending,
cooking and washing keep her so busy that’
there's often not much time left for plan
ning the fun of a home. If Dad plans "a
hike, a picnic-,"an excursion, or even a fa
mily night out for- a movie, she usually ag
rees readily, enough, but most often the idea
begins with the head- of 'the hou’se. '

certainly -a glance at the city's
Boardwalk end streets- in the pda-curfew min
utes, and a peek into-local drinkeri.es for a
census on the just grown-ups would reveal’
that there's not much family life or fun"in
