Father’s  Day
     People  in  the  United  States  honor  their  fathers  with  special  day:  Father’s  Day.  This  holiday  is  celebrated  on  the  third  Sunday  in  June.
     Father’s  Day  dates  back  to  1909,  when  one  daughter,  a  certain  Mrs.  Dodd  from  Spokane,  Washington,  wanted  to  honor  her  own  father  who  had  raised  four  sons  and  a  daughter  after  her  mother’s  death.  Although  the  first  Father’s  Day  was  observed  in  Spokane  in  1910  and  it  has  been  likewise  observed  in  many  other  states  for  many  decades,  Father’s  Day  did  not  become  a  national  holiday  until  Senator  Margaret  Chase  Smith  helped  to  establish  it  as  such  in  1972.
     Giving  cards  and  gifts  is  the  tradition  of  this  holiday.  Children  make  them  in  schools.  Many  people  make  their  own  presents.
