FRIDAY, SAT’DAY
POPPY DAYS
Friday and Saturday of this
week have been proclaimed as
"Poppy Days" in Ashland through
a proclamation issued earlier in
the week by Mayor Thorton S.
Wiley.
The proclamation stated:
'..aereas, the wearing of the
memorial poppy is a fitting and
effective way of keeping bright
the memory of those young men
who gave their lives in America’s
service in the World War, and
"Whereas. men of Ashland
served gallantly in that war, some
being called upon to sacrifice th«*-;,-
lives in that service, and
"Whereas, the present national
emergency requires the same type
of unselfish patriotism displayed
by the men and symbolized by
their memorial flower, and
"Whereas, the women of the
American I>egion Auxiliary and
the VFW Auxiliary will distrib
ute veteran-made memorial pop
pies throughout the city on Fri
day and Saturday, May 23 and 24.
"Now, therefore. I, Thornton S.
Wiley, Mayor of the City of Ash
land, do proclaim Friday and Sat
urday, May 23 and 24, to be
Poppy Days in the City of Ash
land, and urge all citizens to
observe the day by wearing the
memorial poppies in honor of the
men who died for America in the
war of 1917 and 1918.”
