A special father was the inspiration for the day

IT WAS an idea whose time had
come -- and only Senora Dodd
dreamed she could make it hap-

pen.

That was back in 1910, more
than three generations ago. Life in
the smal! frontier town of
Spokane, Washington, was sim-

p Family ties teally were the ties
that bind, so it is hardly remark-
able, in retrospect, that a grateful
daughter, with a son of her own.
should seek to honor her father
and all fathers with a special day:
Father’s Day.

Dodd was a daughter of the
West, born to hardship and
destined tc lose the guidance of
her mother when she was still very
young.

Her father, William Smart, was
left to rear his young family of
five sons and a daughter. That he
managed and triumphed is a mat-
ter of history.

For all he did, for all he meant
to her, the family and the com-
munity, Dodd was moved to con-

ceive the idea of Father’s Day as
an eternal testimonial to her fa-
ther’s guiding hand.

It took a year, perhaps longer,
to move prospering Spokane to
action, but Dodd’s work with
community groups, local govern-
ment officials and the churches,
finally culminated in the first Fa-
ther’s Day in June, 1910.

It was her idea to present her
father with Father’s Day on his
birthday, which in 1919 was the
first Sunday in June.

But, the local ministry could
not prepare special sermons in
time for the specified day, so it
was postponed to the third Sun-
day in June.

All over the world, Father’s
Day is still celebrated on that day

and enjoyed in scores of nations.

Father’s Day is now an integral
fibre in the tapestry of our na-
tional culture, observed in every
Canadian village, town and city.
It is observed in as many different
ways as there are grateful sons
and daughters.

There will be many greeting
cards posted and gifts galore will
be showered on dads from one
end of the country to the other.
As well, telephone calls — tocal
and tong distance — wil! abound.

Few if any other holidays have
such universal appeal, such ex-
panding observance. Father’s Day
grows and thrives as celebrations
become more exuberant year by
year.
