Poppies of . patriotic remem-
brince will blo^m In Npirth
WUkeaboro Saturday.^ May 8*.
Miss Ruth ,Colvard, - president of
the American Legion Auxiliary,
announced today.
Every man, woman and child
in the city will be asked to wear
a poppy on that day in honor of
the men who have given their
lives for Aanerica. The popples
WUl be distributed by volunteer
workers from the Auxiliary and
the coins contributed for them
will be used In Legion and Auxil
iary work for the war disabled,
their families end the families of
the dead.
The popples which will be dis
tributed here have been made by
disabled veterans at Oteen. Mak
ing the little red flowers has giv
en many veterans employment
during the winter and spring
months. The work Is limited to
men receiving little or no govern
ment compensation and those
with families to support.
Contributions received for the
poppies on Poppy Day are a prin
cipal source of support for the
vast welfare work carried on by
the I«glon and Auxiliary and the
disabled men and dependent fam
ilies. With the new war adding
to the list of America’s war vic
tims, there will be greatly in
creased need for funds during the
coming year.
Poppy Day ha.s been observed
by the Legion and Auxiliary an
nually for the past twenty years.
With the nation again at war, the
poppy has new significance this
year end will be worn as a sym
bol of patriotism by millions ot
-Americans throughout the coun
try.
More than 13,000,000 of the
flowers have been made by dis
abled veterans for the .Auxiliary,
the largest number since the ob
servance of Poppy Day was be
gun twenty years ago. Orders for
the poppies from Auxiliary units
everywhere have been increased
this year in anticipation of great
ly increased demand for the flow
ers of patriotic remembrance.

It is the most far-reaching cam

to enlist savings in this country’s

Volunteer workers in every com
munity have begun an intensive
drive to pledge all income earners
to purchase regularly, hy the week
or by the month, aa many ,war
bonds and stamps as they can af
ford.
Plans for the campaign have
been carefully worked out during
the last several weeks by county
and town chairmen and local coin-
mittees, and, if they achieve their
goal, every wage earner will have

disaster looms when the two

“the full and prompt cooperation
