B3r(k1 in Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Calil 655-3679 wlth Items for this columnn wMMMMM M Father's Day tri bute Since this Sunday is Father's Day, I would like to pay tribute to ail the fathers who take the role seriously; who dont think that their responsiblity ends when they bring home the pay cheque. One of the best things to corne out of wornen en- tering the work force in increasing numbers is that men have had to assume more of the tasks once designated as 'women's work" including taking care of the chiîdren. I dont mean this to be a plug for wornen's 11h either, what I mean is that it gives fathers a chance to experience the frustrations and joys of parenthood much more keenly. At one tume fot so long ago, it was a rarity to see a father pushing a baby carniage or taking a srnall child shopping on his own. Now these are common- place and both gain in the process. Dad is no longer the guy who cornes for supper and shelîs out the allowance. Dads can now change diapers, teach junior to cook, or their daughters the finer points of football without fear of losing their rnasculinity or turning out kids who are freaks. So 1 say Hurray for today's modemn Dads, rnake sure yours has a great Fathers Day be giving hini breakfast in bed and taking hirn out for dinner. (Just forget about the corsage, 1 don't think les ready for that yet!> BAKE SALE There's another great bake sale coming Up for al those of you who neyer seem to find time to whip Up these homemade goodies your self.
