EASTERN STAR TO HAVE TACKY PARTY TONIGHT The regular monthly meeting of' the American Legion Auxili.niy, Sand hill Unit No. 134, will be held at the Legion Hut Monday night March 12 at 8:00 o'clock. A very interesting program will be given on the aux. iliary flower, "The Poppy." Sandhill Unit has had special permission for several years to sell poppies before Memorial Day, due to the fact that this unit is located in a resort area and there would be very few people here to help support this good cause. Poppy Day this year is being observed on Wednesday, March 20th. In order that the American Le. gion Auxiliary may protect its Me. morial flower, the poppy, from the inroads of commercialism, it adopted n National Poppy program at the St. Paul convention in 1924 which eliminated the commercial poppy .'!ales supply of the auxiliary. The memorial poppies are made of red crepe paper, by hand, by disabled vet erans in more than 50 hospitals and poppy workrooms in 40 states. The workers receive pay for each poppy made, the material being furnished free by the department in whose ter ritory the hospital is located. More than 10,000,000 poppies made by the disabled veterans are sold in | the streets under the supervision of the American Legion Auxiliary, in most places, on the Saturday preceed- ing Memorial Day, by approxi.mately 100,000 volunteer workers who re. ceive no compensation. Through the American Legion Auxiliary poppy program more than $100,000 is paid annually to needy and disabled service men and women.
