A day for Mother
Come May 14, many nations
around the world will celebrate
Mother’s Day. A day set aside
for remembering all that moth-
ers do, Mother’s Day in the
United States was first pro-
~ posed by Julia Ward Howe in
1872. Howe's other claim to
fame is that she was the author
of the poem “Battle Hymn of
the Republic” which was later
set to music.
After many attempts, Howe's
idea of a national day to com-
memorate mothers was finally
approved by Congress on May
9, 1914. Prior to that date,
Mother’s Day services had been
held in Grafton, West Virginia
and Piiindelphis as early as
1908.

Cleveland Pines Nursing
Center was recently acknowl-
edged with an award by the
North Carolina Health Care
Facilities Association.
The award was given to ac-
knowledge those individuals :
and facilities that have demon-
strated outstanding achieve-
ments in the long-term health
care industry. The purpose of
these awards is to recognize
member facilities that have de-
veloped professional communi-
ty relations programs within
the nursing facility. Good com-
munity relations are considered
One way many people cele-
brate Mother’s Day is by help-
ing to “blanket the world with
love.”
They do so by talking part in
a program that provides blan-
kets and other basic supplies for
people who are fleeing famine,
war, floods, and other natural
and man-made disasters.
Wrapping these survivors in
a warm blanket can be a fitting
way to honor mothers.
The Blanket the World With
Love program is run by Church
World Service, the National
Council of Churches’
Humanitarian assistance min-
istry.
Through the Blanket Program

ties.
