Legion Auxiliary
To Sell Poppies
On May 28th and 2Sth when the
members of the American Legion
Auxiliary sell the little red flowers on
the streets as they have done each
Memorial Day week-end for many
years, they do it because they wish to
honor the war dead and help the liv -
^ T h e idea of the
popp/as a memorial
flow er for the World War - dead
sprang up as naturally as the little
wild flower itself, grows In the fields
of France, amid the hideous destruc
tion qt war. Along the edge of the
trenches, beneath the tangled barbed
wire and over the fresh graves it
raised its brave red blossoms The
soldiers of all nations came to look
upon it as the living symbol of the
sacrifices of their dead comrades.
Memories qt the war dead always
bring thoughts of those who did not
die but came back t« spend yean of
hardship and suffering, sometimes
worse than death. 1» the making of
these little paper flowers, by the dis
abled veterans in hospitals has come
the realization to them, that they
could »till do something to help them-
