Mother’s Day Will Be Observed Here. . . The White Flower Will be Universally Worn Next Sunday

Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14, will be observed nationally and locally.

According to the founder of Mother’s Day, those whose mothers are dead will wear the white flower, and those whose mothers are living will wear the red flower. Quite a large number of Oxford people observe the custom annually and very few discriminate between the white and red flower.
