Credit Woman for Father's Day KANSAS CITY, Mo. UPI — When, as annually for the past 54 years. Dad has his Day Sunday, June 21. he’ll owe it all to a woman, according to researchers at Hallmark Cards. His benefactor is Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, who lives in Spo-

kane. Washington.

Her father was William Smart, Civil War veteran who was both father and mother to his six children after the death

of his wife in 1898.

The idea for Father s Day occurred to Mrs. Dodd one morning in 1909 while she was washing dishes and keeping an eye on her baby son in the highchair nearby. She wanted to pay tribute to her own “Papa ' and

all American fathers.

Mrs. Dodd took the idea to her minister and then to the

Spokane Ministerial Associa- j Memorial Methodist Church at

9:00 a m. and 11:00 a.m. this Sunday, June 21. His sermon subject will be "The Thunders Of God." Dr. Smith is meeting this week with the Furloughed Missionary Conference now being held at DePauw University. As General Secretary of the

The Reverend Dr. Eugene Smith, chief executive of the overseas missionary program of the Methodist Church, will speak at both services of Gobin

tion. The clergymen agreed to hold “Father's Day” services. The Spokane YMCA took up the crusade and created other Father's Day celebrations for

the same day.

Originally. Mrs. Dodd wanted Father’s Day to take place on

June 5, her father’s birthday. | Division of World Missions of But the ministers needed more the Board of Missions of the

time to prepare their sermons. So the third Sunday in June was chosen instead. Thus the nation's first Father's Day took place in Spokane on June 19. 1910. William Jennings Bryan was one of the first public figures to endorse Mrs. Dodd's idea. He wrote her: “Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the relationship between parent and child." And he offered to help make Father's Day a national event. In 1916 President Woodrow

Methodist Church, Dr. Smith heads a missionary force of 1,130 persons in about 40 countries of Europe. Asia, Africa, Central and South America. Dr. Smith is a member of the Executive Committee of the World Methodist Council and participated in several international ecumenical conferences including the World Council of 1948, at Evanston in 1954 and Churches at Amsterdam in

Delhi in 1962.

Sheinwold On Bridge You’ll Look Foolish In Youd Own Trap By ALFRED SHEINWOLD Few things in life are more fun than setting a trap for somebody to fall in. Of course if you yourself happen to be the somebody who falls into the trap there is still lots of fun. Only somebody else has it.

West led the king of spades, and South slyly played the deuce. This well-known trap, known as the Bath Coup, works beautifully If West continues the suit. South then gets two spade tricks instead of only one.

Unfortunately for South, West was a suspicious soul. “If my partner had the jack of spades, he would play it,” West thought to himself. “Since he | didn’t play the jack, he doesn’t have it.” The logic was good, and West shifted to the eight of hearts. East put up the jack, and South found himself looking very foolish.

If South took the first heart the opponents would run the entire heart suit on being given the lead with the king of clubs. If South refused the first heart, East would shift to spades, and then the spades would eventually come in when West got his king of clubs. Either way South was dead. South cannot lose the contract if he takes the first trick with the ace of spades. He leads a diamond to dummy’s ace and returns the ten of clubs for a finesse. He can bring in dummy's clubs, losing a trick to West’s king. West cannot continue the attack against spades without giving South a second spade trick. If West shifts to hearts, South wins with the ace of hearts and takes his tricks on the run: one spade, one heart, four diamonds and four clubs. South would make his contract even if East had the king of clubs. In that case South would surely make three club tricks by finessing. The six tricks in the other suit would be enough for game. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one notrump (16 to 18 points), and the next player passes. You hold: SKQ 10 93 H87 D 8 6 CK75 4. What do you say? Answer: Bid three spades. You are willing to play the hand at game in spades, or perhaps in notrump. If partner has only 16 points, you may have to play well — but nothing ventured, nothing gained. (Copyright 1964.

SIGMA NU FRATERNITY, on the DePauw campus has the “biggest” and the longest living canine tradition in DePauw annals. Since 1922 they have been represented on the local campus by a long line of St. Bernard dogs all bearing the name of Thibedeaux. Their present mascot is Thibedeaux the Fourteenth. The history of these lumbering creatures is easily traced through their frequent mention in local and national newspapers. The first “Thib” made print in the February 6, 1924, DePauw: “Probably the best known dog on campus is Thibedeaux, a huge St. Bernard, given to the Sigma Nu's by their freshman several years ago. Thibedeaux is majoring in Tilden (then an English professor) and working out a minor under Professor Sherman. Professor Tilden stated that he is as regular an attendant, as well-behaved a sleeper, and as interested a member as he has in class. Thibedeaux is not a grind, however, but goes out for campus activities. He appeared with the first team at the Concordia

game. Chief Caskey, his special custodian, insists that he can read, because he cannot be found on Saturday after “Wash Thibedeaux” has been posted on the work list.” This same Thib perhaps distinguished himself more than any of his successors and certainly established a proud tradition to be upheld. The story of his death is still a legend on the campus and was publicized nationwide. As the story goes DePauw and Wabash were playing football on the local gridiron — and that of course means a “dogfight” in anybody’s book. However. the Cavemen had a large St. Bernard of their own. and the two dogs, feeling the spirit of the day, got involved in a vicious disagreement on the way back to campus after the game. Thib received a deep gash on the neck which became abscessed and required immediate medical attention. A local physican operated on the wound in the Sigma Nu living room where Thib had lain down under the piano. The doctor was unable to save the dog’s life so the first Thib met a tragic.

but heroic end fighting valiantly against the traditional enemy from the north. Apparently times have changed little as far as the Thib family is concerned, for the fourteenth still attends classes as regularly, if not more so, as his masters at the fraternity. And she can be seen at almost any varsity or intramural athletic event which the Sigma Nu’s participate in or attend. Thib also has a habit of lumbering in at various campus functions quite unannounced and uninvited. For example she attended the Pi Beta Phi Sorority’s formal tea — for a very short time — this spring. Thibedeaux's prominent position on the campus has not, however, gone unchallenged through the years. It seems that back in 1939 the ATO fraternity purchased a huge great Dane named Duke which threatened Thib’s position of canine supremacy at DePauw. From the DePauw November 6. 1939: “The situation may become one of professional jealousy if Duke attracts much more attention. The Sigma Nu’s

have long been distinctive Because of Thibedeaux VI Thib has never had to wocry about competition in his fiald. The big day in Dogdom has come, and it remains to !ba seen if Thib can retain tis crown.” . Rest assured Thib VI did not let down the noble line of “saints.” Thibedeaux the NJIV enjoys the same eminence held by the first of the line way back in 1922. When she was jjist a 110 pound “pup” of eight months. Thib was featured - in a local newspaper. Her immediate predecessor, the XIII, was featured on the front page of The Indianapolis News' a few years before. So the next time you happen by the Sigma Nu house you’ll probably see a large furry object lying on the front porch or sidewalk looking quite asleep. But don’t let appearances fool you, if Thib the XIV see another canine encroaching upon her kingdom the fur will literally “fly.” She is doing^ her part to keep the long tradition

... Good Old Days tramps, who were stealing rides on the tops of freight and passenger trains — were killed by the bridge. The Monon refused to raise it until the state railroad commission ordered it to do so a few months ago. Then they raised the bridge. Now the structure, instead of

being a death trap for tramps, is a menace to the lives of Putnam County people. The bridge —which was very narrow to begin with—has been raised several feet. The approaches are very steep and the road bed very narrow. There is no railing along the side of the approaches and everyone who drives over the bridge is in great danger

! of meeting with a dangerous accident. Should a horse scare while on either of the approaches or , while on the bridge there would ] be little chance of avoiding a bad spill. And then too, the road | is used by many automobile tourists. Already one chaffeur has lost control of his machine while going up to the bridge and

only a miracle prevented him and his party from going over the bank. People who live In the neighborhood of Putnamville and all those who have occasion to drive down the National Road sire very bitter in their feeling* over the condition of the bridge.
