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
