Vt. Of v. To
SELL POPP|ES
Veterans, Auxiliary and
School Children to Sci!
Flowers to Aid Soldiers

Everything is in readiness for the
poppy sale to take place tomorrow
and on Memorial Day before the
parade by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, their auxiliary and the school
girls. The proceeds from the sale of
the artificial flowers will go toward
the support of down and out" eX-
service men who need financial aid,
This practice has been going on
by Sgt. John b. Egan Post for the
past few years and a great success
has always been realized. The pro-
ceeds of last years sale were used in
the upkeep of a local ex-serviceman
whose father had died and left him
as the main support of the family,
Money was also taken from this fund
to buy coal for many who could not
afford to pay the high price.
The movement has been endorsed
by President Harding, who strongl-
urges that every citizen of the Unit
ed States wear one of these red
flowers on Memorial Day, and Mayor
William C. Wilson and President A.
C. Clark, of the Board of Education,
are deeply interested in the sale. The
flowers sold by the Veterans have
been made from silk by French
widows and orphans.
Governors and prominent men
from all parts of the country have
also endorsed the poppy sale, and it
is hoped that every citizen of Perth
Amboy will take it upon himself to
wear one of the flowers on Memorial
Day in remembrance of the boys
who are now lying under poppy-cov-
cred soil in France, and the ex-
service men who need financial as
sistance here in America.
