Auxiliary Will Sell Buddy Poppies Sat 12th The Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars will sell Buddy Poppies here on Sat urday, November 12, as an Ar mistice season memorial in hon or of war dead and for the wel fare of families and orphans of deceased veterans. President Truman has said: "The V. F. W. sale of Buddy Poppies is a worthy reminder that the welfare of veterans and their families is of continuing importance. "S'upported by this annual Poppy sale, the V. F. W. Na tional Home at Eaton Rapils. Michigan is performing a splen did work in behalf of the orphan ed children of. veterans. "The wearing of a Buddy Pop py this year is an excellent way to express approval and partici pation." The following was prepared and released by the local V. F. W. Auxiliary: One of the reasons for the existence of the V. F. W. is its desire to serve veterans and their dependents. That purpose is achieved with the funds obtained through Buddy Poppy sales. Therefore, the Buddy Poppy is an honored symbol of service, the sale of which began in 192 2 as a part of the vast program of rehabilitation which the Vet erans of Foreign Wars has fos tered since its founding in 1899, The idea proved to be an -n. spiring and successful means of raising funds for veteran wel fare needs and has become an annual custom. Buddy Poppy Day is an im portant day to every thoughtful American citizen. It is the day when we concentrate our grate ful "thoughts on those noble men who crossed the seas to repre sent America on bloody batt1?' fields of two World Wars. It is to these men?the ones maki"* the supreme sacrifice, those who came back wounded, and fol - ly those unhurt?that we dedi cate this Buddy Poppy Day, Sat urday, November 12. Buddy Poppies are made by disabled war veterans as a means of livelihood as well as a means of passing away the long, tedious hours of time. Therefore, the sale of a stnp > uoppy means aid to many causes of the V. F. w. rehabilitation. These poppies will be a?ld ? the streets and in residential areas of the Wilkesboros Satur day by the Ladies Auxiliary with teen-age girls assisting. These girls will compete for a cash award, and the Allen The ater will preeent an individual movie pass to everyone partici pating.
