"Poppy Day" To Be Observed Saturday Work of preparing for the annual poppy sale of the American Legion auxiliary went into full swing to day when the memorial poppies which will be worn on Poppy Day. May 23, in honor of the World War dead, were received at auxiliary headquarters here. The little red flowers, packed in neat boxes, came from Oteen where they were made by disabled veterans under auxilary direction. They must be counted and arranged for distribution to the volunteer workers who will off er them on the streets on Poppy Day. The poppies are paper replicas of the wild European poppies which bloomed on the battle fields in France and Belgium during the world war. It was this flower, grow ing between the rows of wooden crosses above fresh battle graves, which inspired the famous poem, "In Flanders Fields," by Col. John McCrea. Since the war the flower has become recognized throughout the world as the symbol of war sacrifice. "I wonder how many of the peo ple in Forest City who will wear these poppies this year, realize the story that is behind each little flower," a member of the auxiliary remark ed, as she examined one of the little paper blossoms. "Each poppy has been made individually by some dis abled veteran who . through this work has been able to help himself or his family in the long struggle against the handicaps of war disa bility. Often there is a tragic and pathetic story wrapped up in these flowers. "Each poppy made means one cent earned by some needy dis abled veteran for the support of family or to aid him when he at tempts to reestablish himself in the world. Three hundred flowers a day is the limit usually placed on the workers to prevent them from over taxing their strength, but three dol lars a day is a God-send to men who have earned nothing for months, and years. Approximately 10,000,000 of the poppies have been made this year and about SIOO,OOO has been paid by the auxiliary into the empty pockets of the disabled men." TO DECORATE SOLDIERS* GRAVES ON MAY 30 On Saturday, May 30, afternoon, a program of decorating the graves of ex-soldiers will be carried out. All cemeteries in the county will be visited where soldier? are buried. We extend to every one who have flowers to bring a generous bunch for this purpose. Announcement will appear in this paper next week just where to leave your flowers. THE FOREST CITY (N, C.) COURIER COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Henrietta-Caroleen High School HENRIETTA-CAROLEEN, N.
