Offers To Support
Appeal For Base
In a communication to W. B.
Keziah this week, Louis T.
Moore, secretary of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce,
offered to support any local attempt
to have Southport selected
as a site for one of the nine
training camps in connection
with the strengthening of the
National defense.
Keziah already had been active
in this connection, having
written to both Senator Raynolds
and Congressman Clark.
In fact, he has been working
for several years in an effort
to have the government establish
some kind of training base
hereabouts.
Since a tremendous expansion
of coast defense is expected to
be included in the president's
preparedness bill, it appears

will offer poppies throughout the ; a
business district and residential i p
centers all day, beginning early (f,
in the morning and continuing 1 g
antil night. Sl
No price will be asked for the
flowers, but contributions will be 0
received for the legion and aux- q
Iliary work among the disabled 1 f(
veterans and dependent families ! jr
jf veterans. Funds thus received q
ire the chief source of support i p
for the vast welfare activities j p

srous response from the public < ;
an Poppy Day would assure the | s]
,ieeds of all war disabled and j sl

the coming year. E
As all of the Auxiliary poppy ti
workers will serve without pay, n
every penny contributed will go p
into the welfare funds. The only v
persons compensated for their j<
part in the poppy program are i
the disabled veterans who make d
the flowers. Many hundreds of n
these unfortunate men have been
given employment during the _
ivinter and spring in the hospitals
ind workrooms where 12,000,00 i
Df the memorial flowers have "
been shaped.
Poppies which will be distributed
here were made at Oteen.
They are exact replicas of the
wild poppies of France and Bel- .
gium which gave the World War _
battlefields their one touch of na- |
ture's beauty. Each flower bears |
i label with the American Legion [
and Auxiliary emblems, certify-1
ing that it is a veteran-marl"' poppy
and that all money contributed
