Plexlco, fresh man, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Plexioo, of North Wilkeeboro, took first plaee In the annual Freshman-Gophomore Declama tion Conteat held in St. Andrews Lutheran Church on the college campus, Tuesday night, May 7. The title of his declamation was “Gethsemane.” The main thought of his declamation wjis finding the true meaning of life, and the place a person may turn to when other forms of consolation have proved futUe. Life must be built upon a foundation of faith, a foundation which will enable a person to find his “Gethsemane." There were four other entries, all members of the soidiomore class. Mr, Plexlco will receive a gold medal given annually by Dr. Glenn R. Fb-ye at the commence ment exercises on June 3. Mr. Plexlco is active In many other activities on the campus, College Music Club, Dlakonian Club, Playmakers, Demosthenlan Literary Society, Mixed Chorus, and the Lutheran Student Asso ciation. ValuaUe Timber To. On Saturday, May 26, all of us will he asked to wear a Uttle red poppy on our coats or dresses. The day will be Poppy Day, when, once each year, we of America pay tribute, by wearing their me morial flower, the Poppy, to those who gave their lives In America’s service during the World War. And as we receive our poppy from the women of the American Legion Auxiliary, who will dis tribute the flowers on the streets that day, we will be aiding the war’s living victims by the con tribution wa make for the flower. The poppy comes to us from the fields of France and Belgium where the churning- tide of war obliterated all touches of beauty except its brave red blooms. It comes to us from the shell-pit ted battle areas and from among the wooden crosses of the war cemeteries. There it was nature’s tribute to the heroic dead, and here in America It is the tribute of patriots to those who made patriotism’s highest sacrifice. The popples which we will wear on Poppy Day are not, of course, natural flowers from the World War battlefields. 'They are flowers which have even greater significance than any nature could produce. They have been grown In hospitals and work rooms where the war’s suffering still Is going on. They have bloomed under thg hands of men disabled in the war—the com rades of those In whose honor they will be worn. Their petals are only paper and their stems wire, yet into them has been breathed the spirit of patriotic aacrific^the spirit ^ those days whan l«4iKiS*0«lf WEijKibOt tOO Event Friendship Sunday Annual Home ^Coming day will be observed Sunday, May 26, at friendship Methodist church near Millers Creek.

Siipp«1Y.MLC.JL gives them employment—their only chance to help support themselves and families. With strength and health gone, they cannot compete for work against the able-bodied, but they can make popples. Flven in their hos pital bedc they can do this work, earning money for each flower they make. Second, the work Is of real value In aiding their re covery, occupying hands and minds, breaking the tedium of long Idleness, and restoring spir its crushed by hopelessness. The women who distribute the popples, unlike the disabled vet erans who make them, receive nothing for their efforts—noth ing tangible, that is, only the satisfaction of having helped brighten the memory of the dead and of having contributed to the welfare of the living. It Is hard, unaccustomed work for them, but they do It gladly, happy to be able to serve In such a cause. The money which Is dropped Into the coin boxes in exchange for the popples goes entirely to the welfare activities of the American Legion and the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary, support ing the work which these two great service org;anlzatlons do for the disabled veterans, the families of the disabled and the families left In need by the death of veterans. Every penny Is made to serve, and because of the close understanding and sympathy ex isting ' between the Legion and Auxiliary men and women and those whom they are aiding, eve ry penny Is made to serve doub ly In a cause of highest worth. Understanding the meaning of the poppy and the uses to which the poppy funds are put, can any of ns be deaf to the appeal of Poppy Day? Can any of ns fall to greet the Auxiliary poppy workers with a welcome smile, fall to put bn the poppy of re membrance for the dead and show that we remember the llv- They are Dean Minton and Rob ert Kerley.
