MODEL MOTHERT guess all mothers are model mothers—but some are extra special,” like your own mother, for example, But the Pot Shots office boy uncovered this note written by a Jerome man about his special “mother”:“I came to Jerome in 1913, but a carload of furniture didn’t arrive until later, Mrs. Wheeler OHarrow let me have a camp cot to sleep on, thereby obliging her 6-year old daughter to sleep on the floor because of crowded conditions.“A season or two later, seeing I was in a jam and not able to get my hay up, she helped organize a crew of workmen who came over to my place and put the hay up in a few hours—a job that would have taken me several weeks with my limited resources.“Some years later, my daughter was bitten by a mad dog and had to be taken to a Boise hospital for a “Pasteur” treatment. This was beyond my means, but Mrs. O’Harrow placed a considerable sum In a special bank account and made arrangement for my daughter to draw on this account when needed. This saved my daughter from almost certain death.“Other similar acts of kindness could be cited but this will show why I want to pay tribute to Mrs. O’Harrow on this Mother’s day. She is now between 70 and 75 years of age and I haven't seen her in 12 years.“It gives my wife and me great pleasure in sending greetings and to honor and pay tribute to you on Mother’s day. You have left us many memories, but your success as a mother, with a job well done, tops the list.”BRAGGARTThe Pot Shots Office Boy says every time a braggart opens his mouth he puts his feats Into It.EMERGENCYWhat constitutes an emergencyhas been a ticklish problem for telephone operators the past month. Here’s one that confronted a local operator the other day:Lou Choules, ninth grader at Twin Falls junior high school, participated in the recent track meet here and tarried a bit too long after the meet was over. As a result he returned to the gymnasium too late and found the building locked.He went to a telephone and told the operator he wanted to call home.“Thiit doesn’t sound like an emergency,” the switchboard operator declared.“Yeah, but I left my pants in the gym and it’s locked. I haven’t got any pants to go home in,” Choules pleaded.P. S. The call went through.
