Mrs Hazel R Getman. 22 John St., Ilion, is the Utica newspapers' Mother of the Year.
Mrs. Getman. the wife of attorney George H Getman and the mother of nine children, was the unanimous selection of the five judges.
More than 100 entries were received in the competition, which the Utica newspapers plan to make an annual event. Three other area mothers were named as runners-up and seven were given honorable mention (story below).
Mrs. Getman and her family will be treated to dinner at a restaurant of their choice and will be given tickets to a theater or entertainment of their choice. A Mother's Day corsage also was sent to Mrs. Getman by the Utica newspapers.
THE JUDGES faced a difficult task because of the excellence of the entries received. Nomination after nomination told stories of sacrifice, courage, determination, family planning. Some of the nominees were grandmothers. Nearly all of the mothers nominated had large families —one was house mother at a fraternity house.
Each of those nominating mother, or grandmother, or mother-in-law, or neighbor was convinced his or her nominee was the "Mother of the Year."
All of the mothers nominated will be named in next Sunday's Observer-Dispatch in an "Honor Roll of Mothers."
The judges, who spent hours in work sessions screening and checking nominations, were Mrs. Irene S. Barnes, a staff attendant at Utica State Hospital; Anthony A. Schepsis. Utica Free Academy principal: Mrs. Allen I. Overend. vice president of the Higby Road School PTA: Charles Austin, vice president of the Chester Sitrin Furniture Inc.. and Miss Kathleen Reynolds, a senior at Utica Catholic Academy.

WASHINGTON (GNS) — A commemorative stamp to honor arrival of the Palatines in the Mohawk Valley in 1710 will be considered by the Post Office Department, Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield said yesterday.
The stamp would be issued in I960 for the 150th anniversary of the first Palatine settlement. Summerfield wrote Rep. William R. Williams (R) of Cassville that the suggestion for the stamp will be brought to the attention of the department's stamp advisory committtee.
Idea for the stamp came from Lynn C. Getman of Ilion.
The Getman Family of America had designated him to contact Williams.
"Being a native of the Mohawk Valley," Getman wrote "you no doubt are familiar with their, (the Palatines) history and the great service that they rendered this country:
"They had been pushed around in Germany and in the religious wars, had seen their homes, barns, stock and crops put to fire, but were nevertheless willing to assume any hardship in the new Western Hemisphere."
The hardships were plentiful, "for Indian raids continued in the Mohawk Valley for many years."
"They did not care. They were obsessed with an ideal of freedom, something which had theretofore been denied them.
George Washington toured the valley to study the defense and . . . "to show his appreciation of the valley's resistance to the British and Indians." said Getman.
The British and their Indian allies "sought to destroy the granery of the Mohawk" Getman reported "and the heroic efforts of the Palatines save the breadbasket of the Continental army."
