MONEY EROM POPPY SALE
TO DISABLED SERVICE MEN
Where Do the Poppies Come From?
— Three Minion Made Last Year
Under Auxiliary.
Saturday has been designated as
‘Toppy Day" and every citizen will
be given the opportunity to buy one
j jot the poppies made by disabled ser
vice men. There is many a disabled
j service man today with a family to
support and no compensation com
: ing to him. His wife and children j
j have to eat. V
Not a few of these men can feel I
pence of mind today because they i
5 are working for a living—the liv
ing that means so much when there
are many months to feed. They are
1 working for the American Legion
5 auxiliary, making poppies for sale
on Memorial Day.
“There’s a special joy in wearing
s a poppy made by a disabled Amer
• iean veteran, when you know the
1 money is brought him filled a des
■ perhte need.
“In hospitals—and in one work
room in Minneapolis—these popples |
’ are made. And the good that the >
• money does their makers is often j
1 less than the good that busy fingers i
bring to their disturbed-minds and |
bodies, as any psychiatrist . will tell
f you.
[ “There was one patient, a brilliant
physician who had lost the power to I
Concentrate. His mind would jump
from this to that against his will
• which meant real disability for him.
1 He entered a hospital where poppies
are made, and went to work with joy
in his chance to keep busy Hnd earn
for his family. -» |
: “It's a trick to dnake poppies. You
, build them petal by petal and part
. by part. The doctor learned to keep
: his mind on making poppies, and
. soon found he could keep his mind
. on any problem that came his way.
■ “So they sent him back once more
to his practice, cured by the poppies
he had made. And his family was
[ kept from absolute want while he
was in the hospital by the funds he
had earned with his nimble fingers.
' “The 3,000,000 poppies made last 1
i year under the Auxiliary National
I Poppy committee meant that over
i $40,000 was paid direct to disabled
men as wages for their work. This
year, if no more orders reach the
poppy committee than we already
. have, over $65,000 will be earned by <
the disabled. Every cent that he pub-1
lie gives for these popies goes to help
the needy and disabled service men.
- The Auxiliary members give their
services free, of course. So do the
hospital employes who supervise the
work in Minnesota, at Memlota. and
every place where poppies are being
made.
"The earnings of the men are lim
ited to two dollars a day in hos
; pitals; to four doliafs a day in the
work-room in Minneapolis. This is
for medical reasons; sick men vnn
not be pilowed to overwork at the
, time when their strength must be
conserved. But two dollars in wages
a day earned in hospital helps at
home, and four dollars a day is a
' godsend.”

STONE OBSERVATION
TOWER ON MT. MITCHELL
To Be Donated by Charles "J. Harris.—
Gift Accepted for People of State.
Raleigh, X. 1 o.', May 26—OP;—
Charles J. Harris, business man and
capitalist-, and former Republican
candidate for Governor, has donated
a stone observation tower to be
erected on the peak of Xlount
Mitchell.
The gift has been accepted for the
use of the people of the State, under
the management of the Department
of Conservation and Development, it
was announced by the department
today.
In the tourist season, the tower
will be used as a point from w'hieli
to gain an unobstructed view of the
unexampled scenery which * Mount
Mitchell, the highest point east of
the Rockies, affords.
In the spring and fall fiire sea
sons, it will be put to more prac
tical use as a home for the warden
of the State-owned Xlount Mitchell
Park. The warden will make head
quarters there for the purpose of de
jecting and giving warning of forest
Hres which' may be visible in the
broad vistas he will command. For
this purpose, the tower will be equip
ped with the scientific instruments
necessary for this kind of work.
Th< 7 tower is to be 20 feet square
and of a height of about 33 feet, ac
cording to plans now in 'possession
1 of Stuate Forester .1. S- Holmes, and
1 approved by Mr. Harris. The ob
• serration floor will be 30 feet and
will be rurmounted by a low battle
■ inent. Underneath the observation
floor will be the room for the oc
cupancy by the park warden during
I the two fire seasons. It is planned to
construct the tower of native stones,
• to be taken from Xlount Mitchell it
self, care being exercised to quarry
! it without injury to the scenery or
any point of interest on the park.
The tower will be finished this
month, the Department of Oouscrva
tioii and Development announces
By October, weather conditions on
Xlount Mitchell become such that
, work cannot longer be prosecuted.
Sand and other building material
will have to be brought from many
miles, probably from Black Moun
tain. While precise cost of the tower
has not been estimated, it is expected
- to run to several thousand dollars.
The stairway from the ground to
the top of the tower will be an in
terior one-
The new tower, the Department of
Conservation and Development says,
will supplant .an old makeshift af
fair. An attempt was made some
time ago to supplant this old tower
with a steel one, but the latter fell.
As a result, the state forest service
was in somewhat of a quandary as
to what steps to take toward fire
prevention observation from the to®
of the peak. Mr, Harris offer has
solved the problem, officials said to
day.
The new tower will be just east
of the site of the old towers, and just
cast, also, of the “grave of Dr. Elisha
Mitchell, whose measurements fixed
Mount Mitcliel as the highest of the
Appalachian pinks.
