An Italian mother pins gold charms to her baby’s shirt for a special reason, while many a Chinese mother still solemnly binds her infant’s feet. The above are just a few of the Mother’s Day tidbits that I managed to pick up here and there over the past week, so I thought I would pass them along to you. Best wishes for a happy Mother’s Day go to each and every mother who faithfully reads this column every week. Special wishes go to my mom, Mrs. Jerry (Kathryn* Bushong of Waubee Lake, and to friend husband’s mom, Mrs. Glenn (Kate* Seely of Jonesville, Mich. May God bless each and every one of you on your special day. V < * Speaking of mothers, we know cf one who is really happy this week. She’s Mrs. Stanley (Betty* Scott of r 3 Syracuse.

time this paper ttmes off the press. What’s so special about her gift? Her son Dick is on his way home from Viet Nam and if he hasn’t arrived at the Scott home by new he will be there in a day or two.
