FATHER'S DAY HISTORY
Like Mother's Day, Father's Day has a cutting edge inception. The thought came to Mrs. John Dodd as she sat listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father, William Smart, had raised his kids alone on his Washington cultivate after his wife kicked the bucket conceiving their sixth tyke. Mrs. Dodd proposed to the Spokane Ministerial Association and the YMCA that they commend a "father's day" on June 5, her father's birthday.
The thought got strong support, yet the great ministers of Spokane asked that the day be changed to give them additional time to plan sermons on the unexplored subject of fathers. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington, and soon different towns had their own particular celebrations. In spite of widespread support, Father's Day did not turn into a changeless national holiday until 1972, when President Richard Nixon signed a law announcing that it be praised yearly on the third Sunday in June every year.
