FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK MAY 8th

We will be celebrating Mother's Day this year on Sunday, May 8th. This is a day that should be filled to overflowing with love and affection for our dear mothers. Those of us who are still fortunate to have our mothers, let us set this Sunday aside as HER day. Spend at least a part of the day with her if at all possible. You may not have many more opportunities to be with her and especially on Mother's Day. She will appreciate more than any gift, the fact that she has seen you. For those of you who cannot be with her in person, remember that your mother will appreciate a letter, a telegram or the joy of hearing your voice. Everything that we are, have been, or hope to be we owe to our mother and all she asks in return is that we be good and honorable citizens. Small repayment, indeed. Do not overlook this opportunity to honor your mother. We should never fail to commemorate Mother's Day. This celebration orginated in the United States and soon became a day of commemoration throughout the entire civilized world. Motherhood has been glorified through

MY MOTHER My mother is an angel, she • . sweet as she can be . . . There is not anything on earth .. . She would not do for me . . . She gives me all the minutes and . . . The hours of her day . . . And if I am in trouble, she . . • Is on her knees to pray ... She thinks of me from early dawn ... Until the setting sun . . . And through the night and in her dreams . . . I am her cherished one ... She does not wonder what to do . . . She does not ask me why . . . She only hopes I have the truth ... To look her in the eye .. . Oh, mother, I am grateful for ... Your love and faith in me ... And may I be your child and God's . . . For all eternity. VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES MAY 7th!

the ages; therefore, it is entirely fitting to set aside a day for its reverence. This most beautiful holiday falls on the second Sunday in May. It is dedicated to those who gave us life. Everyone who has feeling in his heart remembers and honors his mother. It was she who brought smiles, love and sacrifice to her children; even if these disappointed her repeatedly. With pride in her eyes and a prayer on her lips she followed their every little step. For every fault and failing of theirs she had an excuse. In every act she saw something good, even when the act wounded her loving heart. She hopefully looked to improvement and reformation. On many a sleepless night she pressed her head into the pillow so that her weeping at disappointments would not awaken her dear ones. Yet she continued to hope and love. • • Mother's Day was established so that all of us might realize the full meaning and significance of motherhood and give it the love, respect and reverence which it deserves. It was intended to bring to mothers the joy and gratitude which rightfully belongs to them. For ages they have endured suffering and sorrow, in order to promote and preserve life, and save liberty and the language they learned to speak. Words are futile in expressing
