The Marietta Recreation
Association hopes that an
all-out effort will be forth-
coming this year since the
support from the School
District has been with-
drawn. This lose of revenue
leaves the Marietta Recrea-
Marietta
Kim Tillman
tion Association as the sole
organization for underwrit-
ing the cost of playground
activities at Marietta War
Memorial Park. If any
person has contributions for
the various stands he or she
should either call one of the
personnel or bring it the day
of the fair. Rain date for the
fair is Saturday, June 21.

John E. Rivermoore’s confessions
on Father’s Day: Who is Father?
by John E. Rivermoore
You have heard it said
. that ‘“‘It's a wise son that
knows his own father."’
I have never presumed to
be wise, maybe because I'm
not sure who my father is.
Is my father the man who
begot me, a man I never
saw, who placed me in my
mother’s womb, and then
was gone?
Or was my cousin the
closest thing I had to a
father, a slightly older lad
who used to beat me up, but
who also taught me bike
riding, swimming, baseball,
tennis, carpentry, and some
very-mixed-up facts of life?

Was my father the man
my mother married, who
used to give the orders
around the house, who
spanked me, a man I feared
and hated, who finally
ordered me out of the house
when | was seventeen when
I told him I was through
taking orders?
Or, is my father a coach I
had in high school, a man I
briefly looked up te and
whose advice I took? If it
hadn't been for him I'd
probably be in a penitentia-
ry now, instead of writing
* for the Susquehanna Bulle-
tin. (Some readers would
prefer I'd be in a penitentia-
ry. Some non-readers ques-

I hesitate to tell my final
thoughts on fatherhood,
because I know my reputa-
tion for being a scoundrel
and because | remember
Sam Johnson's pronounce-
ment made two hundred
years ago: that ‘‘religion is
the last refuge of a
scoundrel’ — but I have of
late dropped into an empty
church, seen the vault filled
with window-stained colored
sunlight, and had a vague
impression of someone up
there: “Our Father which
art in Heaven. .."’
