PLANS MADE FOR
POPPY DAY, MAY 26
--- v ' I
Farmvillians will again be offered
«. bright red crepe paper poppies next
Saturday, May 26, by the American
Legion auxiliary. Mrs. J. P. Jones,
poppy chairman, will direct the drive.
The idea of a poppy as a memorial
flower for World War dead was in
spired by the glooming wild poppies
' "between the crosses row on row” in
the battle cemeteries of World War
I. Poppies which are worn, in the
United States are crepe paper repli
cas of those wild European poppies,
made by veterans in hospitals and
convalescent workrooms throughout
the country.
Doctors 'in veterans hospitals con
sider poppy-making a valuable form
of occupational therapy. The psy
chological effect of having work to
do, and being paid for it, rebuilds pa
tients’ pride and self-respect This
year the Legion auxiliary will pay
out approximately one half million
dollars to the veterans who make the
poppies. During 1960 the auxiliary
distributed more than 22 million pop
pies.
When you pin a poppy.to your la
pel, you will not only be providing
for disabled veterans, but honoring
the fallen comrades of the Korean'and
two World Wars.
