Mrs. Pete Gamble, Unit Pregl- ? dent, hag announced. Arrangements 1 j are Icing made by Mrs. L. D.

Plans are be ing developed to distribute memorial s popples In every part of the city. j 1 ' t "Honor the World War dead end aid the war's living victims, Is the ' meaning of the memorial popp." The . ; poppy, which bloomed so strikingly ] among the trenches and battle groves in France and' Belgium, became the flower of the dead during the war. Ever since the war It has been | worn dn all Engllsh-epeaking coun' tries annually as an individual trl- ( i bute to the men who amvo thoir livoa In the conflict. The little red flower takes added sgtiificance from the fact that it ts ' made by the war disabled, and that' it contributes to the welfare of the ! disabled' men and the dependent fam ilies of veterans. Everyone who ' wears a poppy on Poppy Day, not on ly is showing remembrance and hou ( cr for the men who died In the .war, but is giving help to those who still , are bearing burdens of the war tn suffering, privation and lost opportu* ' nities. All contributions made for the flower will go to support the rehabll ( itation and' welfare work of the Le gion and Auxiliary which means so j much to the disabled veterans and { the families of the dead and disabled.
