"It was a poet who first gave ex pression to the idea. Soon himself to lie beneath the poppies, he wrote: "In Flanders’ fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row.’’ "Even before the men had return ed f/om war, the perfect little poem of Colonel John McCrae had winged its way around the world carrying the picture of the poppies. Return ing soldiers brought the vision of the poppy fields back with them, engraved indelibly in their hearts with the memories of the comrades they had left on the battle-front. ! Spontaneously the poppy took on a | sacred significance. It became the flower of remembrance for the re membrance for the men who had poured out their life's blood around the roots of the little plank “Memories of the war dead al ways bring thoughts of those who did not die but came back doomed to years of hardship and suffering, sometimes worse than death. In the i poppy was found away to link the ; honoring of the dead with service for the living victims of the war. Soon after the war patriotic organ ization in different countries began to conduct sales of poppies made by disabled veterans, to raise funds for relief work among suffering ex-ser vice men and their families. A double significance became attach ed to the poppy. Wearing the little flower came to mean honoring the dead and helping the living. "The poppy also became the memorial flower of the British Le gion. Other American Veterans' or ganizations followed The American Legion and Auxiliary in adopting it as their official flower of remem brance. Soon many millions of the little red flowers were being worn each year in all parts of the English- i speaking world, to honor the World War dead and to aid the War's liv- ! ing victims. "The nation-wide sale of mem- I orial poppies was begun by the Lc- • gion and Auxiliary in 1921.

COURT STREET ■■ silk poppies made In France by | French Widows and orphans were used. In 1922 the first popples made by American veterans were produc ed in the hospitals of Minnesota, and this work has steadily expand ed until poppies are being made in more than fifty hospitals and dis abled veterans' workrooms in forty different states. "By 1924 it was seen that the poppy program lent itself more nat urally to the work of women than the men, and The American Legion gave the Auxiliary complete charge of the national program. This was a heavy responsibility. Wearing the flower was the nation’s annual tri bute to the World War dead. From the distribution of the flower came a large proportion of the welfare : and relief funds of both organiza- I tions. ' How. well the Auxiliary measured up to the responsibility placed on its shoulders is shown by the devel opment of the poppy program. Each year approximately 13,000,000 Amer icans wear Legion and Auxiliary ! poppies in tribute to the war dead, I contributing for the flowers over a | million dollars for the welfare of the war's living victims.” o Fall Os Berlin • Continued from page 1) cide.
