MOTHERS It is a long time since anyone has written a good song about Mothers, or a decent play or poem. Perhaps this sour world can't stand sweetness any more. A writer told me that if he wrote a play that glorified Mother, it would be rejected as having too sac- "It's fashion- able," he said, for Canadian television plays to deal with sordid psychiatric problems, and_Mother fits better as a villain, according to the experts who decide these things. Motherhood is purely schmaltz these days!" ' " I've no quarrel with psychiatry or psychology, but this trend to belittle motherhood" makes me somewhat nauseated. If I had to choose someone to raise a boy or girl of mine, I'd choose a mother in preference to any of the eminent "eggheaded" who prate of "Momism" and related complexes. Many of these amateur Freudian "ex- perts" could do with a, long walk in the sunshine down any Canadian street. They'd see a few mothers -in action, : The other day, walkirig down a sub- urban street, I saw a typical Mother. She was standing in her front yard, her face a study in anxiety. Across the road her freckle-faced boy was threatening to heave a rock through a neighbour's window. At her skirts another youngster howled for permis- sion to go to the wading pool. As if that were'nt enough-to plague one human being, a third youngster, tears streaming down his face, came hobbling to her with a scraped knee. sweep through with six straight wins, A mother with three active children (she probably had more) faces a thou- sand crises daily. Just to retain her sanity is an act of courage; but to go on, day after day, from early morn- ing until late evening, solving pro- | blems with patience and love, deserves eloquent praise. | | Added to all this, most city women now have a husband around the house a great deal of the time. His hours | of work go shorter, his holidays in- crease, and he takes quite a bit of caring for at home. Increased leisure and lighter work for higher pay usual- ly make him moodier and less easy to" please. - ' Mothers haven't yet heard of the' eight hour day. They're on shift whenever any "member of the family needs them. | | So, let's have some songs of praise, for Mother, and let the eggheads go their Freudian way! Ontario Bowlers on Goodwill Tour Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Letcher are among the party of Ontario Bowlers that are touring Canada.
