Oommentlns on the mannfac- tnre and sale of the memorial flowers, Mrs. Gordon Finley, lo cal Poppy Day chairman, said: 'MaMng the popples has two important benefits for the dis abled Teterans. First, It enables them to earn money. The Amer ican Legion Anzlllary pays them for every ^PPy ^ey make. To actnally earn sonie money again Is an encouraging experience for these men, after long months of helplessness. Most of them send the money home to their families. “Second, the 'work Is valuable as occupaUonal therapy. It occu pies their hands and minds and helps them get well. “I hope everyone who puts on a poppy on Poppy Day will look closely at the little flower and think of the men who make the popples, what they have been through and what they are still enduring because of their war service. Then It will bo under stood that the poppy Is not lust a machine-made tag, but a care fully shaped symbol of remem brance made hy the disabled In honor of their departed com rades.” .«>■ Brushy Mountain W.
