Memorial poppies to be sold in North Carolina on Poppy Day are be ing made by the wives of disabled veterans in the government hospital at Oteen, North Carolina. These vet erans are receiving very little or no compensation and in many instances tho fact that the wivts are allowed to make poppies enables the families to be Self-supporting when otherwise they would be practically destitute. The wives and families come to the little village of Oteen to be near their loved ones during their illness and often their last days. Before' the wives are allowed to make poppies they are required to undergo a rigid physical examination and be declared free not only from tuberculosis but all other communicable diseases, 'iney are limited in the number of flowers they are allowed to make so that the work will last a longer time and give them some income for several months. Miss Louise Bernhardt, the nurse in charge of the clinic at Oteen, super, vises the work.

': I'rexenlaiion Speech A thought must be born in some one s mind belore the act can become a reality. In the minds of the members of Ixing's Chapel there had long been the thought and: desire for a new house of workship, but somehow it seemed not to have gotten any further than the thought until our paster, Brother Siler, came to us, it was ha whose faith and inspiration buoyed us up to action... At once he talked "new building," prayed "new building, 'and believed there would be a new building," that we might better train our children and worship the Master more per. fectly. - After many meeting and advising with his church members he under took the task of getting subscriptions to erec the building, and for weeks and months he gave his time and energy and succeeded in securing enough pledges so that hi beautiful structure really became a realitv; No sacrifice was too great for him as pastor of his flock when he learned that some member or congregation needed his services or his help; rain or shine, hot or cold, snow or what not, it made no difference with him when duty called him, as many pres ent here today can testify. The man whose memory we honor today in presenting to this church this small bronz tablet in memory of brother a rank Siler is only a token ct. the love wr bear to v&rcis him and cannot m any way measure our ap preciation, but it is so those who come (Continued on back page) the Grc-i'.t Smoky Mountain National Park ! rina. .t, . ..... . . i ,'.;,..- ,. ,,icase net in '.touch av it h t ile Chamber of ( 'oimiieriv i'..-; early as possible.
