CLINTON, S.’C., THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1935 ‘‘THE OLD MAN’S” DA Sunday has been desigiiated the na tion over as “Father’s ’ Day,” when a small homage at least, should be paid to the “old man” who foots the bills and toils to keep the wolf fVom the door., ■' The observance of this day started twenty years _ag[p, but in comparison •with Mother’s Day, it has evoked little interest. , A folder from a telegraph service brings the follow’ing suggestions to assist in selecting a greeting for the old man. For the youth in jail, we par ticularly recommend No. 5: “I thank you forT.he good eicample you have always set before your children and wish that 1 had proved more worthy of it.” For those who favor the limping lyric, there is No. 7: “Kach F'ather’s Day I am more glad that I’m still blessed with dear old Dad,” while oth ers who feel thai- a touch of poor rlH'toric gives a homely touch will lean to No. 10: “Of all the festivals of the year none conies so close t^o my grateful heart when' I send—my thoughts to you on Father’s Day.’^ The virile note is sounded in No. 4: “As man to man, as son to father, to tjie-best Dad ever, I send my love and best wishes today.” It will Ik* in order, and appreciated by Dad, if Charleston,- dune 10,—'Thomas K Stoney, former mayor o!f Charleston,.
