Auxiliary Unit to serve on the
City Recreation Committee.
Tha nominating committee gave
their nominations of officers for
the coming year, which were vot
ed on and approved unanimously
by the members. The installation
of officers will be held the first
meeting in September.
The members were honored to
have Mrs. John A. Ward, Depart
ment President, who spoke on the
“History of the Poppy". Her talk
was very inspiring and informa
tive. The American Legion Aux
iliary has been sponsoring the sale
of poppies since 1925 To the men
who returned from the battle
fields of France, the poppy has
become a symbol of their com
rades’ sacrifice and they love i s
bright red petals. Mrs. Ward said,
"Each year, as the miracle of
spring unfolds, the members of
the American Legion Auxiliary
prepare for Poppy Day—the Day
of Remembrance. Each little
flower worn on Poppy Day will
show that an American is think
ing and giving for the welfare of
men in hospitals and the women
and children in fatherless homes
—those for whom the war has
never ended."
“The poppy industry is the back
bone of our rehabilitation and
child welfare programs and each
year more and more veterans are
turning to the American Legion
Auxiliary for help and encourage
ment,” Mrs. Ward continued. Dur
ing the past year more than 700,
000 children of veterans in the
United States were aided by the
American Legion Auxiliary.
Mrs. VV’ard gave the story ol
how the disabled veterans maki
the poppies, how poppy making 0
by far the most popular phase ol
occupational therapy and that foi
many veterans who are disabled
the only money they have is thal
received for poppy making.

But all his pleas and threats were
completely disregarded. As a

letter, accompanied by a snap
shot of his little daughter. Undei
the picture he wrote: "The icasoi

A prompt reply enclosed a pho
