Officer Explains
History of Poppy
Poppies to be worn here on
Poppy days, May 24 and 25, will
be crepe paper replicas of. the
wild poppies of western Europe
which bloomed in profusion on
the World War battlefields in
France and Belgium, according
to Mrs. Ross Minneci, president
of the Medford unit of the
American Legion auxiliary.
which is sponsoring the observ
ance of Poppy day.
"The bright little flower was
the only touch of nature's beau
ty able to survive in the shell-
churned devastation of the
World War I battle front," Mrs.
Minneci explained. "It bloomed
along the trenches, in the shell
holes, and seemed to grow in
especial profusion in the raw
earth of the battle cemeteries.
"CpL James McCrae, Cana
dian medical officer, soon him
self to lie beneath the poppies,
told the world about the flow
ers in his poem which began . .
'In Flanders Field the poppies
blow between the crosses, row
on row ..." After the war, the
poppy became the memorial
flower of the war dead through
out the English speaking world,
being worn once each year in
the British Empire as well as
in the United States.
"The crepe paper flowers are
made by disabled war veterans
in hospitals and convalescent
workrooms, with more than
twenty .million having been
made for the American Legion
auxiliary this year."

Because of the third-rate
American movies widely circu
lated in foreign countries, many
in those countries think people
of the United States are all
wealthy and live a life of luxury
and ease when not dodging
gangster bullets. Mrs. Floyd
Fox, Silverton, Ore., housewife
who spoke for the annual Home-
makers' festival at Central Point
Wednesday, told her audience
this while describing a trip
around the world by plane
which she and Mr. Fox made last
year.
Mrs. Fox urged her listeners
to make every attempt to give
foreigners a true picture of the
United States as a nation of
closely-knit ordinary families,
and to also everything in their
power to strengthen and pre
serve family life in this country
Mrs. Fox said that Americans
should be more appreciative of
the advantages which this nation
gives its citizens, and that "we
should be willing to share our
wealth with the rest of the
world." She urged the home-
makers hearing her talk to "go
home, cook a good meal for your
husband and family and while
you sit down together, remem
ber that in many lands women .
are not respected . and do not
have the privilege of sharing a
meal with their families.
During her talk Mrs. Fox de
scribed living conditions, reli
gious customs and women's or
ganizations in the countries in
which she had traveled. She also
displayed a number of art ob
jects and textiles which she had
purchased while abroad.
Following the ,-talk .. by Mrs
Fox, members of the County Ex
tension Advisory committee, as
sisted by Miss Betty Jane Sedg
wick, state extension agent from
Corvallis, conducted a joint can
delight installation of extension
unit officers.
Mrs. Rollin Jones, Medford,
chairman of the committee, pre
sided over business sessions of
the festival and introduced Mrs.
Fox.
The festival, held in celebra
tion of National Home Demon
stration week, began Tuesday
night with open house held in
the American Legion hall, Cen
tral Point. Wednesday's festival
program included a morning ses-1
sion with group singing, skits
and pantomimes and a business
session in Central Point Grange
hall. Luncheon was served at
noon by men and women of the
Grange.
Guests included members of
the county court.
Theme of the festival was
"Windows on the World." This
year each extension unit provid
ed name .tags for its own mem
bers, and samples of these were
displayed on a bulletin board in
the hall. .

sory committee are Mrs. Jones,
chairman; Mrs. Glen Hale, Eagle
