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.” ------------ •------------ Wr are the dead Short days agtr Pilot Training Course Wr lived, felt rlawrt. saw sunm-t glow, T he U.S. HAS THE ONLY SYSTEM OF REFRIGERATED Loved ami were loved, ami now we .Scheduled at SOLE RAILROAD CARS, TRUCKS, AND COMMERCIAL VENDING lie > Word has been received from In Flanders Helds. the civil Aeronautics Adnnnistra- UNITS.
