Devoted to the Current Topics of the Day ! FATHER’S DAY : June 16th is Tather’s Day, and we want to urge everyone not to overlook this ‘occasion. For some reason, Mother's Day is much more widely observed than Father's Day. This is understandable in the - ‘light of the beautiful senti- ents that are aroused by the very words “mother”—yet father need not be neglected, as too often he seems to be. < Father may seem. indifferent to such an occasion as Father's Day. Probably, if asked, he would call it “nonsense” and ask his children to “forget “it.” Father may seem austere, or too practical to care for such trinkets as you might be moved tto purchase for him, or, in many cases, it right seem ridicu- ous to present him with a Rift out of his own money. But remember one thing! A man is only a boy matter what his exterior, has hidden away in his heart a littte boy. And that A little boy will come to the surface and with father will retire to his room as happy about the red pair of suspenders, or the tie, or the box of cigars that you have given him, as any little boy would be about a box of marbles or a baseball glove. Don’t be fooled by your father. He likes little attentions just as much as ‘mother does. ’ THE LIMIT OF MAN There is no way of predicting the extent of developments in the radio field. Tests by the Canadian National Railway near Toronto indicate the futility of predicting the ultimate desliny of radio. ‘It is possible now to talk casually from moving trains, to send telegrams from them, and to broad- cast from them. Years ago it was thought the ultimate was reached when phonograph records broadcast were heard over a comparatively short distance. ~ At that time anyone suggesting that broadcasts might be made from a ‘moving train would have been considered insane. In ancient thmes such a prophet would have been burned at the stake for witchcraft. Yet these miracles have come to pass. and do not doubt it. others are coming. There seem to be very few limitations to the ability of man to con- ‘quer the elements. But there is one very definite limit. ~ When Lieutenant Soucek sought to make a new altitude record, eight iles above the ground, he had to breathe oxygen from tanks in order to keep: #4. As it was, breathing was an agonizing ~ experience. His adventure “proved there was a limit to human progress in the sense that man is confined to the little globe in which he is born.

Up until lately, one usually talked of fishing or baseball during the summer months. Now it seems that golf is getting to be the rage. One of the foremost of these players is Jim Oliver. Jim is making a great] record as a player and methinks t@at it is only natural, for Jim has two very good essentials in learning the main easily. Now, we think, that the main thing to do in golf is hit the ball. Jim has the determination in his makeup and has the other great essential is However, Jim has been quite busy the past few weeks due to the nice weather in selling Dodges and Ply- cars back of the mountain. Piano Playing . One just has to wander in to Hig- Tweesday evening to witness some fine exhibitions of piano playing.

All I have to do is put them down on paper.” Terry Gilkison was born at Hunt- ington, W. Va., and raised in a small town, Williamstown. He started work on the Clarksburg Exponent, later being with the Wheeling Register, the leading West Virginia newspaper. He graduated to the larger city papers, working for the Cincinnati Post and the Cleveland Plain - Dealer, then eventually went to New York and began syndicating his work throughout the nation. He is a contributor to many national magazines, such as Life, Judge and Collier's. He lives at Mount Ver- non, N. Y. and commutés to the: city. Terry Gilkison loves children—and studies them from every angle. His chief interests are his two boys and their dog Spot.
