AMERICAN LEGION
 P0PP|ES ON SALE
Proceeds Used for Welfare Work
 Among El.SerYicemea

4 corps of more than 20 members Of the Eddy-Glover Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary started the annual sale of peoples for Eddy Glover post, American Legion, this morning. The sale will be continued for the belance of the week coming to an end Saturday night. The wom- en of the auxiliary stationed them- selves about the principal streets of the city and preliminary reports given in to Chairman Israel Nair wer to the effect that there was a generous response from the general public.
 Chairman Nair announced today that Otto Bertz and Joseph Barone had been added to the general com mittee in charge of the sale. These men, with the other members of the committee. will take charge of can- wasting the factories.
 Chairman Nair explained today that many have questioned the pur- pose of the sale. and he calls atten- ton 10 the fact that the poppies are manufactured by disabled World
  war veterans in the government hos pitfalls throughout the country. They are sold to the posts of the Ameri- can Legion, with the disabled men receiving the entire proceeds.
 Voluntary contributions from 10 cents up are received by the can- vassers and the profit realized by the American Legion posts is devoted to a fund. which is used for welfare work of Legion posts and American Legion auxiliary.
 From President Hoover down to the lowest town or village official, appreciation of the sale is given An- nually and the fact that all of the manufacturing concerns in this city through their officials have assured tho Legionaires of cooperation in the sale of poppies shows that the cause is deemed . worthy one.
 The flower itself is the officaf memorial flower of the Aemrican Legion. It was adopted at a national convention several years ago because of it's power to bring visualation 10 the people of this country of the fields whereon the city's sons gave | their lives in the World War.
