VETERANS OF
WAR ASK YOU
TOBUY POPPES
Proceeds Will Make It
Possible for V. F. w. to
Continue Its Program

Seven major Objectives are achie-
we'd through the results of the ninth
annual sale of Buddy Poppies to be
conducted throughout the country
during the week previous to Mem
orial Day by the Veterans of For
eign Wars of the United States.
These were emphasized last week in
an appeal voiced at national head
quarters at Kansas City, Mo-, by
Hezekiah N. Duff, national COM
mander, who points to the fact that
there are more than 100000 disabled
veterans in the United States not
receiving government compensation
and existing only on limited in
comes.
"These are the men who have
been unable to secure definite SER
vice connection proof of their dis
abilities" Duff explained.
Government regulations require
that every injury must be traceable
through official records, ignoring the
fact that it was an extremely diff
cult problem to maintain an accur-
ate bookkeeping department in the
A. E. F.
Moreover, thousands of veterans
suffered from wounds and exposure
to a degree that appeared to be
slight at the time. In fear of becom-
ing casuals, they passed up the
chance to drop back to field hospi-
tails for treatment. Therefore, there
is no medical record of their disa-
bilities.
advancing years have seen these
disabilities develop to the point
where the disabled veteran and his
dependents are in sore need of as
sistance and relief. AS the COM
rades of those who sleep we have
promised not to forget. By helping
those who are living we ere trying
to keep this pledge"
Proceeds of the ninth annual Bud
dy Poppy sale will make it possible
for the V. F. w. to continue its pro-
gram, outlined as follows:
Perpetuation of the Poppy as the
memorial flower for Americas he
roic dead, to be worn annually or
Memorial Day.
Rehabilitation, which provides f.
nancial assistance and finds EN-
ployment for the disabled veteran.
Child welfare, with one cent from
each poppy sold added to the func
that maintains the only home of its
kind sponsored by a service Organi-
zation, the V. F. w. National Home
for widows and orphans of deceased
veterans, located at Eaton Rapids
Michigan.
Hospital welfare work, which pro
vides each veteran patient with
comforts not available from the gov
ernment, entertainment programs,
etc.
Liaison service, including the eff
forts of service officer in every
post available to the veteran in meet
of Veterans Bureau consideration
This branch also includes nation
al service officer at Washington and
state service officers, prepared to
push all claims in reference to pen
sions, disqualification, compensation
etc.
Military funerals for every de-
ceased ex-service man, irrespective
of race, creed, color or afiliation
and the maintenance of burial plots
Helping the disabled man help
himself, by selling poppies made
only by disabled ex-service men con-
fined in government hospitals.

Principal Claims Public Schools
 Used by Propagandists

New York, July 16.-UP)-The congressional committee investigat- ing communist propaganda contin- ued consideration of the school sit nation today, startled by revelations of the fervor of young radicals among the students who ghbly quot ed Karl Marx and argued like soap box orators"
 On principal, Edward R. Ma guire. of Junior high school No. 61. said he considered the situation mcnacing, not because of past or present manifestations but because of the source of the agitation.
 This thing is dangerous, not for what it has accomplished" Mcguire said, but because it is inspired from Soviet Russia. There is lots of money behind it. It is directed by able minds. They have schools of their own right in my neighborhood, or ganized on an emotional basis, where they teach the children songs patriotic 10 their cause and to sa- lute the red flag They form cells in public schools throughout the country.'
 Calls Schools Hotbeds
 Three of the city's Sl0 schools were hotbeds for communist agita- tion. it was said, with possibly 400 children, all sons and daughters of Russian immigrants, expressing and attempting 10 pread communist opinions.
 Mcguire said communist children of school age were organized into 8 group known as the Young Pioneers, whose literature contained such ex- pressions as down with the flag" up with the red flag" and down with school principals"
 He said the communists criticized schools without swimming pools or lunch rooms. and demanded free pools, meals and clothes for all the children.

 "On various occasions, liaison of flcers and members of the various veterans organization, have been ap- preached by members of veterans asked for financial aid. This pro- cedure is continuous in our city and very few people realize how much financial aid IS given during a years time.
 This however is all well and good when the various veterans organiza- lions have funds in the treasury 10 use in aiding the veterans. But the public must realize that the funds used 10 aid these men comes from themselves. Therefore, their cooper alton is asked when the veteran or ganizations sell forgetmenots, pop pies, or whatever may be used as a medium in getting these funds.

The organization has only been in existence since April of this year. and as yet no drive for funds has been made.
