Although not specifically referred to as such. Mother s Day goes back many centuries. It dates back in the Western world to the time of the an cient Greeks who worshipped Cybele, the mother of gods, with an annual tribute held on the Ides of March. The custom was later introduced to Rome about 250 B. C. Mothers in medieval Europe were honored on "The Virgin's Day," dedicated to the Mother of Christ. On Mid-Lent Sun day —the fourth Sunday before Easter, presents were brought to Mary's shrine and living mothers were similarly remembered. Sixteenth Century England converted Mid-Lent Sunday in to "Mothering Sunday.' It was the day when children went to see their mothers taking along trinkets and cakes. The Taj Mahal of India, the world's most beautiful build ing, is a monument to a mother. Shah Jehan built it in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, his favorite wife and mother of his sons. The famous American statue "The Pioneer Woman" hon ors the valient mothers who carried civilization westward Through hostile Indian territory. Despite these man-made tributes to motherhood, it took the efforts of the women themselves to obtain official sanc tion to have a day set aside each year as Mother's Day. The first specific Mother's Day in the United States was not a popular success. If started in 1887 in Henderson, Ken tucky, but spread no further. Miss Anna M. Jarvis founded our present Mother's Day in 1907 when she arranged a memorial service for her own mother in Andrews Methodist Church in Grafton, West Vir ginia. EMr spirited campaign for nationwid-e observance was crowned with success in 1914 when President Wood row Wilson signed a Congressional Resolution setting aside the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and authorizing Federal display of the flag. . The custom of annually expressing affection for mother with thoughtful gifts and warmly sentimental Mother's Day greeting cards has spread ever since. This coming Sunday, May 8, will be Mother's Day. May all those who have mothers observe it with a Happy Mother's Day. Red Rock Drive-In CHINOOK, MONTANA OPENING MAY 6th • • * FRIDAY ■ SATURDAY - SUNDAY MAY 6-7-8 I BIGGEST BLAST-OFF 91 TUG 01 ANT ..
