WEST VIRGINIA PROMOTES MOTHER'S DAY COIN

In other new-coin news, West Virginia lawmakers are promoting the
idea of a commemorative coin honoring the 100th anniversary of
Mother's Day.

"The holiday was founded in 1908 by Anna Jarvis in Grafton.

"In honor of the anniversary, several West Virginia legislators have
drafted a resolution to ask the United States Mint to issue a
commemorative coin.

"The resolution asks that the coin carry an image of Anna Jarvis
and the reverse bear an image of the International Mother's Day Shrine."

What immortal motherly words are worthy of enshrinement?  In our
household, phrases like "Say EXCUSE me!," "don't step on your
brother's head!" and "why in the world would you teach them to pull
your finger?" are commonplace.  -Editor]
