professional and service projects
ot the Works Progress Adminis
tration will open in this county
with a banquet on Monday night
at the Legion Hall at 7 o'clock.
Sponsors, workers and their
guests will attend this gathering as
one of the units of. "the largest
dinner parly in history." Every
county in every state in the United
States will participate. The high
light of this dinner will be a coast-to-coast
broadcast by Mrs. Roose
velt and Mrs. Florence Kerr, na
tional director of professional and
service projects of WPA.
"Open House" Exhibit v
During next week Macon county
women's projects will hold "Open
House", inviting the public to
come and see for themselves how
the tax money of the American
people is being spent in the sound
investment of vocational and serv
ice enterprises.
1 This week of nationwide "This
Work Pays Your Community" Ex
hibitsMay 20-25will give the
community a special opportunity
to have complete information as
to the aims; achievements and
final outcome of the seven WPA
women's projects. .
' Macon Project
The following projects that in
vite inspection. . by the public
touch a large percentage of this
county's population is a helpful
and constructive way:
The sewing room project, hous
ed on the second floor of the
Leach building, employs 26- women
at present, making garments for
distribution and training unskilled
women to sew correctly.
Through the surplus commodity
distribution project, with head
quarters in the basement of the
McCoy building, Macon county last
year received and distributed 273,
1(57 pounds of wholesome articles
of food and also handled the dis
tribution of garments made in the
WPA sewing rooms to the needy
of the county.
Adult education, which is car
ried on largely by unemployed
teachers, takes Opportunity for ed
ucation into remote places. In a
period of two years 1280 persons
have' been given instruction in
subjects of their own choosing.
Perhaps the project touching
more Macon county person's is the
Library and bookmobile project.
In the' public library three full
time library workers are on duty,
handle the circulation of 75 or
more books daily, and keep the
books repaired and in good order.
The bookmobile, . which carries
books into rural sections, is loaned
by the WPA state-wide project.
It has distributed 3,931 books and
865 magazines in four months.
The historical records survey,
sponsored in this state by the
North Carolina Historical Commis
sion, with headquarters in the
courthouse, is securing the history
of churches and their records, also
listing all those buried in ceme
teries who died prior to 1914.
The school lunch projects held
their "open house" celebration be
fore .school closed. The gardening
and canning project, which is part
of the school lunch project, will
grow and can food for next sea
son's school lunches.
Matron service, part of the adult
education project, furnishes care
for the small children in two
county schools that have indoor
rest rooms.
These projects give employment
to about 77 women most of whom
are widows, or whose families are
dependent on them on account of
disabled husbands, many having
froin two to six small children.
Besides training the women in
useful occupations from which they
can later earn a living, the pay
roll thus brought into the county
is a help to business.

MAY 25 NAMED
AS POPPY DAY
To Be Sponsored Here By
The Franklin Legion
Auxiliary
This year, with trenches again
dug in the poppy-studded fields of
France, the American public is in
tensly war conscious. Americans
are conscious, also, ' as never be
fore, of the blessings of pur coun
try and are being' moved by
stronger sentiments "of patriotism.
With our poppies we are offering
them a means of expressing their
feelings for those who died in
war to defend the things they
value so highly today, and to aid
those who still are suffering as a
result of patriotic service.
Poppy Day will be observed in
Macon county and throughout the
nation on May 25, the Saturday
before Memorial Day, Mrs. Alfred
Higdon, president of Franklin Unit
of the American Legion Auxiliary,
announced today. On that day all
Americans will be asked to wear
memorial poppies in tribute to the
World War dead and to aid the
living victims of the war.
Auxiliary Aid Veterans
A1 contributions received for the
poppies will go to Legion and
Auxiliary welfare work for the dis
abled veterans, their families and
the families of the dead.
"We feel that Poppy Day .will
have increased meaning to Amer
ica this year", said one of pur
state officers, "because renewed
warfare in Europe has renewed the
memory of those boys of ours
who gave their lives 'oyer there'
22 years ago. It is for them that
we put on the poppy each year,
to show that we still remember
and honor their sacrifices. Jt is
the flower which grew where they
fell and which now blooms on the
coats of Americans who appre
ciate their service.
Events of the past year have
shown us clearly that to be se
cure the United States must have
men ready and able to defend the
country, willing to give their lives
in its defense, if necessary. We
can .be thankful today that we

had such men 22 years ago. From
them we can draw inspiration for
the patriotic service necessary to
maintain our freedom and de
mocracy "against today's dangers.
Wearing their flower over our
hearts means that within our hearts
their love of America still lives."
Bright red poppies, crepe paper
replicas of the famous poppies of
Flanders Fields, will be sold for
the annual observance of Poppy
Day on Saturday, May 25.
Oteen Patients Make Poppies
The poppies were received from
Oteen hospital where . they were
made by' disabled World War vet-.
eranS. They show the patient and
devoted work of these men , who
made ' them in remembrance of
their : departed comrades.' All
hand-made, the flowers vary slight
ly according to the skill ot the
veterans. '
Poppy-making means much to
the disabled veterans. For those
in the hospitals; it provides an in
teresting occupation to fill the long
hours of. illness and convalescence.
It has high value as occupational
therapy, helping the men speed
their recovery. It gives them the
encouraging experience of again
earning money and of being able
to send money home to help sup
port their families.
The poppy work rooms , main
tained by the Auxiliary ' in a
number of states, provide employ
ment for disabled men,outside the
hospitals who are unable . to do
other work. For them the poppy
work is an eagerly sought relief
from unhappy idleness, from the
almost hopeless search for a job
their limited strength . can per
form, and a means of supporting
themselves and. families.
The. disabled veterans are the
only persons who receive pay for
poppy work. The Auxiliary women
