PENNY’S SERENADE
By W. L. Penberthy
While attending a meeting in
Austin during the earlier phases
of the war, I heard a psychologist
report that the
Army had found
that our best
soldiers were
those men who
had come from
happy families.
This leads me to
believe that there
\ l are a great many
happy families in
our country, be
cause the record
of our men in
Penberthy arms speaks for
itself.
Sunday is Mother’s Day and I
feel that the findings of the Army
are a glowing tribute to Her be
cause, to my way of thinking,
“Mother” is the main cog in a
more than I did as a son.

the courage of our men on the
fighting, fronts but again I feel
that our Mothers deserve untold
praise for the courage they have
shown in sending their sons away
with a smile on their faces, while
their hearts were torn. Many of
these mothers also took the sad
news of the loss of their sons on
the chin, and their only comment
was, “I am just one of the many
who have had to bear this sorrow.”
Whenever Mother’s Day comes
around and I think of the com
parative importance of mothers
and fathers, I remember a short
poem read to me by a father. In
this poem the father is telling
his son of the possibilities that lay
ahead of him and of the goals
which he could attain. And each
verse ended with the sentence—
“With a whole lot of your Mother,
and just a little bit of your Dad.”
