POPPY WEEK OPEN
BEFORE MEMORIAL
(Contributed)
fie American Legion Auxiliary will
observe Poppy Week this year the
week preceding Memorial day.
The American Legion poppy waa
worn In America In honor of the war
dead even before th close of the war.
In 1010 scattered poppy sales were
held by the American Legion and
the following year, In national con
ventlon at Cleveland, Ohio, the Le
gion odopted the poppy as It memo
rial flower. When the Auxiliary waa
organized In Kansas City In 1021, one
of ltj first acta waa the adoption of
the poppy as the memorial flower.
Tie nation-wide sale of poppies to
ba worn on Memorial day was begun
by the Llglon and Auxiliary In 1021.
At first silk popples made In France
by French widows and or h pan were
used, but soon the manufacture of
paper popples by American disabled
veterans waa begun. The paper poppy
made by American disabled In gov
ernment hospitals and poppy work
shops became the standard American
Legion and Auxiliary flower.
By 1924 It waa seen that the poppy
program lent Itself more naturally to
Che work of women than of men and
the American Legion gave to the
Auxiliary complete charge of the na
tional program. This was a heavy
responsibility. The poppy was sacred
to the war dead and needed to be
guarded against soiling commercial
ism A large percentage of the wel
fare and relief funds of the two or
ganizations came from the poppy sale,
Seldom has auch a gtgantlo enter
prise been placed solely In the hands
of women.
How well the Auxiliary measured
up to the responsibility placed In Its
bands Is shown by the development
In the sale of the red paper flower.
AH contributions received from the
sale are used for relief work among
the disabled veterans and their fami
lies and the needy families of Med
ford. 4
IS REALTY AGENT
