Parts were assigned several days ago to Phyl lis Garzik, Phil Guin and David Prim. Too, the Auxilieiry urges every one to wear a poppy Saturday in memory of aU the war dead. The poppies will be crepe paper replicas of the wild poppies of western Europe which bloomed in profusion on the World War bat tlefields in France and Belgium, according to Mrs. Veta E. Gorman, president of the local Unit 134. “The bright little flower was the only touch of nature’s beauty able to survive in the shell-churn ed devastation of the World War 1 battlefront,” Mrs. Gorman ex plained. “It bloomed along the trenches, in the shell holes, and seemed to grow in especial pro fusion in the raw earth of the bat tle cemeteries. “Col. John McCrea, Canadian medical officer, soon himself to lie beneath the poppies, told the world about the flowers in his poem which began . . . Tn Fland ers Fields the poppies blow be tween the crosses, row on row. .’ After the war, the poppy became the memorial flower of the war dead throughout the English- speaking world, being worn once each year in the British Empire as well as in the United States. “The crepe paper flowers are made by disabled war veterans in hospitals and convalescent work rooms, with more than twenty million having been made for the American Legion Auxiliary this year.” ST. JOSEPH’S GUILD COMPLETES FUND FOR ELEVATOR; CHAIRMAN VOICES PRAISE The Razook Fashion Show held recently at the Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst for the benefit of the Guild of St. Joseph’s Hospital and the Moore County Hospital Auxil iary enabled the Guild to reach its goal in the biggest undertaking of its history: that of raising $16,- 385 to purchase an elevator for the hospital. Mrs. Audrey K. Kennedy, chair man, and Mrs. Frank Cosgrove, co-chairman, headed the project which received the loyal support of the entire Guild. Mrs. Kennedy submitted the report which fol lows to the Guild: “The most ambitious program ever undertaken by the members of our Guild has come to a suc cessful conclusion! “That program was to raise $16,385 to pay for the moderniza tion of the passenger elevator in the hospital “A contract was signed in 1955 and we were given until June 1957 to complete the payments. The first payment of $1,000 was made in January 1956 and the last pay ment will be made this month. The elapsed time was only 16 months instead of 24. Isn’t that remarkable? “Mrs. Cosgrove, my co-chair man, and I are so proud of your accomplishments that we want to praise you from the house-tops. You have been wonderful with your help. “We must commend, especially, the members of our Elevator Committee: Mrs. Randolph, Mre. Nesbitt and Mrs. Owens, all whom took such avid interest in all the various projects which helped raise this vast sum, and the officers of our Guild who co operated so closely. All helpe^, too, in the Men’s Division, headed by our Johnny Buchliolz, when the men gave their bingo parties for the cause. Bless them! “Last October we wrote a letter to each member of the Guild stat ing that w.e hoped that this pro gram might have 100 per cent co operation. The results have been most gratifying: the amount of $872 came in response to that let ter. Froni other sources we re ceived $11,174. “The Fashion Show at the Caro lina Hotel last week brought us to the final figure of $16,385. THE TOTAL! “Yotf ladies have accomplished more than could have been ex pected of you. Mrs. Cosgrove and I offer all of you our deepest, most sincere thanks for your un remitting aid, without which the elevator never could have been paid for in this space of time. You all deserve a star in your crown!” Civic Club Program Stirs Interest of Both Men and Women A large audience composed of men as well as women was pres ent at the Civic Club meeting Monday to hear James C.
