Smith for injuries sustained in a fall into a basement stairway which he describes as a “veritable death trap” has been started in Moore County Superior Court. The plaintiff alleges that on April 23, 1943 the defendants were owners and operators of an apartment and business building on East Broad Street in Southern Pines; that an entrance to apart ments and to the rear of the building opened out into a court way which was in general use by the public, where there was a narrow stairway ten or twelve feet deep which led into the base ment. He further alleges that the defendants had allowed grass to grow up and hide the dangerous opening to such an extent that it. was a trap, almost impossible to see in the day time and absolute ly- impossible to see at night; that said basement entrance came into the building sideways so that un less the person approaching had knowledge of the stairway, he “would fall into same as an an imal would fall into a trap.” He claims that he was seriously injured by the negligence and carelessness of the owners.

A replica of this poppy has become the Memorial Flower of the Amer ican Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. At the time the American Le gion Auxiliary adopted the poppy ft pledged the profits from the sale of poppies 100 per cent to welfare relief for service men and women and their families, thus fulfilling the true meaning of the poppy—an emblem of faith, faith which is being kept with all who died, through service to the living. The memorial poppies are made by hand, by disabled veterans in hospitals and poppy workrooms in forty states, the workers receiv ing pay for each poppy made. The Legion Auxiliary observes “Poppy Day” annually, selling millions of these veteran-made poppies. Through this program morb than $100,000 is paid annually to needy and disabled service men and wo men for making the poppies. The proceeds of the sale amount to more than $2,000,000, every penny of which is devoted to rehabili tation work by both the Legion and the Auxiliary.
