SCENES TO VETS MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. ifEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. MAT 25. 1934. -a a ' ' V Th memorial popple which the women of the American Lesion Auxil iary are distributing here today and Saturday recall vivid pictures to the minds of World War veterans who served overseas, according to Captain O. L. Overmeyer, commander of Med ford post of the American Legion. The popples blooming amid the waste and destruction of the battle front, and among the bare graves of the dead, left an unforgettable Impression on the American soldiers, he said. "When the American divisions drove forward In the great offensive of 1918, they entered a region torn, desolated and trampled by the most tremen dous battles of history. Destruction and death were everywhere, but amid it all the little wild popples bloomed on. When machine gun and shell fire took Its toll from the American ranks, the poppy was nature's floral offer ing on the graves of the dead. To us those popples seemed to symbolize the brave eplrlt of our fallen com rades and when we returned home we made the poppy the memorial flower of .the American Legion." Popples to be worn In tribute to the men who gave their lives for America in the World War are to be offered on the streets throughout the city today and Saturday, by the American Legion Auxiliary women. Men of the Legion are co-operating in the promotion of the project. The poppies, paper replicas of the flowers that grew on the battle fields, have been made by disabled veterans at Portland Veterans' hospital. All con tributions received for the popples will be devoted to the rehabilitation and welfare work of the legion and auxiliary among the disabled veterans and the dependent families of vete rans. 1 JUBILEE SPEAKER Arrangements have been completed for Governor Julius Meier to present the principal address of Thursday.
