(Photograph by Adams Studio). Programs Planned Next Week In Connection With Poppy Day Mrs. Wilbur D. Jones, chairman of the Poppy Day program which will be held in Wilmington, Satur day, May 23, says that more in terest is being shown by the peo ple as a whole in this community in cooperating to make the day a successful one than perhaps any time in the past. Many of the prominent people of the commun ity are cooperating in sponsoring radio programs for Poppy D a y. Wednesday, May 20, at 4 p. m. there will be appropriate music for the occasion by Mrs. D. N. Calhoun, Mrs. N. C. Smith and Mrs. G. R. Kornegay._ Thursday. May 21, 10 a.m. Dr. ’ Edwin F. Keever. former pastor of St. Pauls’ Lutheran church and Past Chaplin of Wilmington Post. No. 10, American Legion, will m a ke an address. On the same day at 8:30 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. George Walker will render a musical pro gram accompanied by Mrs. B. H. Thompson. Friday. May 22. at 4 p.m. Mrs. Ethel Powers will make a talk and on Saturday, May 23. at 10:30 a.m., an address by Rob ert Strange, commander, Wilming ton Post No. 10. American Legion. Poppies by the hundreds blos somed forth at the American Le gion home as the women of the American Legion auxiliary pre pared the little memorial flowers for distribution Saturday. Boxes in which the poppies came from U. S. Veterans hospital, Fay etteville, N. C., where they were made by disabled war veterans, were opened by a corps ot worK ers under the leadership of Mrs. Wilbur D. Jones, Poppy chairman. The flowers were sorted, counted and arranged in bunches ready for the women who will offer them on the streets Saturday to be worn in honor of the men who have given their lives for America. “Each poppy has individuality, being individually made by some veteran too badly disabled to do other work,” Mrs. Jones explain ed. “Into each flower goes the sentiment of these men for the comrades they left in France. Each symbolizes beautifully the supreme scarifice which has again become necessary to maintain America’s freedom and democ racy. “Wearing a poppy is the way each individual can show that he remembers the men who have died in the nation’s defense and honors their patriotic spirit. The poppy is more than ever a badge of patriotism this year when young Americans again are offering their life to keep our country secure. We are hoping that everyone in the city will show his patrotism by having a poppy on his lapel on Saturday.” In exchange for the poppies the auxiliary will ask contributions for its welfare work among the dis abled war veterans, their families and the families of the dead. These contributions form the chief source of support for this work which is carried out on an exten sive scale throughout the ye a r. With the Legion and auxiliary now extending their aid to the disabled and dependent families of the pres ent war, increased funds wil, be needed during the coming year. 4 * * * Cape Fear Chapter U.
