Annual Buddy
Poppy Day Sat.
In announcing that the 1950
tfuddy Poppy sale would be held
next Saturday, May 20, Command
er Marshal of VFW Post No. 6767,
pointed out that the red poppies
worn by patriotic Americans, have
an Interesting history.
The idea of selling poppies to
the American public to support a
national welfare program originat
ed in 1022 with the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. It was the first vet
eran organization to promote a na
tional poppy campaign.
.-.The idea took rpqt when Madam
Gucrin of France, inspired by the
symbolic beauty of the poppies of
FJanderSi sought the cooperation of
the VFW in selling' popples, made
in France, to aid disabled and
needy war veterans. The VFW es
tablished a workshop staffed by dis
abled veterans in 1923. These dis
abled veterans made the poppies
and coined the name "Buddy Pop
py". The name was registered with
the U, S. Patent Office and the
patent guarantees that all Buddy
Poppies are genuine products made
by disabled needy veterans, and
grants exclusive use of the term
"Buddy Poppy" to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. j
The sale here will be conducted
by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and
by women and girl volunteers. The
large majority of the proceeds will
remain in this community to aid
locally for needy veterans and their
dependents. Funds from this 1950
Buddy Poppy Salq will be used
to assist disabled and needy vet
erans, war widows and orphans of
veterans and ' to implement the
VFW's extensive rehabilitation pro
gram for war veterans. .and their
dependents..
: The aim of the annual VFW Bud
dy Poppy sale is embodied in the
slogan: "Honor the dead by help
Ing the living". That will be the
purpose of the volunteer sales
workers next Saturday. These vol
unteer workers will be the Girl
Scouts and their leaders, who have
so graciously offered to help put
the National Buddy Poppy Sale
over. ,

Less than a cannon's shot away
rests a group of unknown Union
soldiers who were buried In a
Quaker graveyard.
They died from wounds during
the invasion and capture of Fort
Macon in 1862. The story Ees that
the town officials objected to
Union soldiers being buried in the
town cemetery, so a small Quaker
organization, in existence at that
time gave permission for burial in
their cemetery on the edge of
town.
Thus today, almost side by side,
the unknown soldiers of both North
and South rest where they fell.
At the end of World War II,
there were around 3,200 usable air
ports in the United States. More
than (f,30Q are considered neces

needs.

"The Board that branded him as a bad security risk is not a collection of village

But Mr. David Lilienthal has overruled both these authorities, because
