Hrcekoortdge haa alwaya r-
unonilad In a iplundid way to
the poppy aala conducted by
the Ainerlcal Legion auxiliary
and the 1019 sale to be held
Saturday la expuoted to be no
oxceptlon.
Tho Amorlcan loslnn auxiliary
adoptod the poppy as t'a me-
morial flower at Itn organizing
convention held In Kansas City.
October. 1921 and pledged Hie
profits from the poppy salea
10U per cent to welfare relief
for the service men and women
nnd their families iIiuh fulfill-
ing the true mentiing or the
Ktpp nn emblem of faith which
la being kept with nil who died
through service to the living.
It has been said that to fully
nppretlnte the great good be-
ing accomplished through the
poppy plan which provides that
all popples sold by the auxiliary
be mndf by the service men or
their families one must go Into
the hospitals and see the men
at work. In one hospital will be
found throe men making ono
poppy one u blind man who
could do only so much the sec-
ond man with hand crippled
ho could carry tho work Just so
far. ami he turns (he poppy over
to the third to finish. In an-
other hospital tho blind man
fashions perfect popples. Iu still
another will be round men whoso
minds are shuttered and who
have but ono Idea- that of tak-
ing their lives. These men hnve
hail their minds distracted from
this obsession through the poppy
program.
