Poppy Day May 28
- Honor War Dead
Nearly four years now have
passed since the last shota were
fired In World War II—more
than 30 since World War I reached
its victorious conclusion. The
world has moved on to face new
difficulties, new dangers. Mind*
are busy with today's problems
and tomorrow's uncertainties.
Yet the dead of those two
wars are not forgotten. Their
memory has been kept bright all
through, the years by the little
red poppy, which Americans were
on Poppy Day each year as personal
token of tribute to those
who gave their lives for Amerlra.
Wearing their flower recalls
their spirit and gives new inspiration
for service to the country
they served so heroically.
tin the hospital wards are men
and women who suffered because
they defended America, comrades
of those who died. The
poppy is for them too. They
make the little red flowers in
replica of the wild poppies that
bloom on the battle fields in
France and Flanders. For them
the poppies mean interesting occupation
and the encouraging experience
of earning money again.
Making these poppies is a
step in their rehabilitation.
The poppies are for children,
also—for the children of the
dead and disabled. Contributions
for the flowers help bring them
the things they need for a happy,
healthful childhood and a fair
start in life. •
