Sunday Is Mom’s Day
MOTHER’S DAY isn’t an entirely work-free day for mom as Mrs. Victor Hokanson illustrates above. The Porter woman is shown with a grandchild, Lynn, 5, making preparations to greet her eight children and their families tomorrow. There will be 28 people present at the Hokanson home Sunday. It’s a potluck affair, but Mrs. Hokanson is preparing a few of her favorite dishes. Those planning to help her celebrate are Atty. Maynard Hokanson, wife and two children of Indianapolis; Mrs. Arnold Bonander, a daughter, her husband and three children, Mrs. Jack Gawley, a daughter, her husband and child, and Mrs. Wendell Green, a daughter, and her husband, all of Chicago; Mr. and mrs. Alvin Hokanson and two children; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hokanson and two children, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Hokanson and two children, all of Porter, and Clarence Hokanson, youngest son, who lives with his mother.
