Invest Your Savings With Us SOUTHPORT BUILDING and LOAN ASSOCIATION "Established 1911" Southport, N. C. This Saturday Is Poppy Day Saturday Before Memorial Day Is Set Aside Annual ly For Sale Of Memorial Flowers Honoring War Dead Mrs. Lilian Caison, president of! the Auxiliary of the Brunswick' County Post No. 194, American, Legion, and Mrs. Edward H. Red- j wine, president of the Shallotte I Post No. 247, have made prepar- j ations for sale of memorial pop pies on Saturday and have pre pared the following statement: "Every year on the Saturday before Mejnorial Day millions of Americans wear little red poppies on their coats. Women of the American Legion Auxiliary are out all day with baskets of pop pies, pinning the little flowers on all passers by. The poppies are ( worn in memory of the men who lost their lives in the World Wars. "The poppy has become the symbol of the dead-their mem orial flower. It has become the sign that the high ideals for .which these brave young men gave their lives still live and are honored. The poppy covers the soil in France beneath which many of them lie and on Poppy Day flowers are placed over our hearts, where the memory of the great sacrifice they made for this country is forever enshrined. "The poppies which will be worn on Poppy Day are not, of course, natural flowers from the battle fields. They are flowers which have even greater significance than any nature ' could produce. They have been grown in hospit als and workrooms where war's suffering still is going on. They have bloomed under the hands of men disabled in war, the com rades of those in whose honor they will be worn. Their petals are only paper and their steams wire, yet into them has been breathed the spirit of patriotic sacrifice, the spirit of those days when life itself was not too much to give for America. "We are sure that' t8e Poppy , will be on all our coats on Poppy,I Day". ' ? The Auxiliaries of the Bruns wick County Post No. .194 and Shallotte Post No. 247 are striving ! to put across a most successful] sale of these patrotic flowers on' Saturday. Mrs. Virginia Bellamy is chair man of the Poppy Sales Com mittee at Shallotte and Mrs. Eva Wolfe is chairman for Southport.
