throughout the country under the
auspices of the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars, has seemed to me to reflect a
particularly appealing sentiment OF
regard for and interest in the dis
abled exservice men. 1t is calculat-

which have made the poppy so pecu-
liarly symbolical of the services and
the sacrifices of the men who gave so
much that freedom might survive in
this world.
II am glad to comply with your re-
quest for a word of Endorsement and
