War Mothers Charities
Make: Imposing List;
Sell Carnations .
Red carnations, worn oiv hundreds of lapels on Saturday,
will indicate that money has been given to help the Salem
chapter of the American War Mothers in the work which has
been carried on for many years by that organization, with very
little fanfare.
Mrs. Mary Addie Curtis,
compiled a list of some of the
things the War Mothers have
done with funds gained mostly
from the sale of carnations.
"The Mothers are very grate
ful to Salem friends who have
bought carnations since 1924,
when the chapter, u n d e r the
presidency of Mrs. John Carson,
adopted the official flower, the
red carnation. The first carna
tion had been sold in St. Louis,
Mo., the previous year," said
Mrs. Curtis.
Here are a few of the things
done by our local War Mothers
who, besides selling carnations,
raised funds through cooked
food, rummage nd needlework
sales and by sponsored enter
tainment: They gave Red Cross and
Community chest $5 every year
since first sale except this year,
when they gave $10 to the Red
Cross. In 1928, under the leader
ship of Mrs. W. C. Hawley, $5
was sent to every Oregon boy
in any hospital in America. Mrs.
R. J. Hendricks is chairman of a
committee which arranges to
send a carnation and a Mother's
day card to every ex-service man
in the state prison, and to every
ex-service nurse in hospitals in
Oregon. Funds have been often
given to cheer veterans in the
Portland hospital.
When the boys in the drum
corps went to Texas some years
ago, the Mothers remembered
them with a very large box of
candy.
Among the Big things that the
War Mothers. have done, was to
place the Doughboy statue on the
courthouse lawn at a cost of
$4000. (The American Legion
gave $1320 toward the statue).
The magnolia trees on either
tide of the monument werea!so
planted by the organization, and
dedicated to the Gold Star and
Silver Star mothers. '
The mothers plant and dedi
cate trees every year on some
' spot where they will add beauty
to the city's appearance. A
: bronze marker was placed on
'. the redwood tree on Summer
. street, "smallest park in Ameri
ca."
A set of dishes was presented
; by them to the Legion hall and
', 25 chairs were given. This year
i new glasses were bought for one
: mother, and gifts of cash were
j given to others who needed
. funds. Wood and milk have been
; bought during the years and lay
f ettes and comforters were given
to prospective mothers. The Sal-
vation Army and the Elks have
: leceived funds to carry on their
Christmas charities, and baskets
have been filled by the mothers. ;
The American War Mothers ,
: bought a service flag, which is i
- hoisted each year by the gover
nor on Armistice day.
"This year as a big beginning
f 1942 activities," said Mrs.
Curtis, "we have already pur-
chased $500 worth of bonds for
victory."
