Cleaners Program
A Great Success

The entertainment put on by the
Cleaners class of the Methodist
church in the high school audi
torium was well received and a
small sum was made.
Mrs. C. j. Dam sang beautifully
and Mrs. S. P. Carmichael gave a
very fine reading, who's Crazy
Now?" proved to be a very clev-
er comedy with Will Pike as DIR.
Kidder, Mrs. Helen Clark as Miss
Abigail Sniffen; Errna Mowery as
Snowdrop; Edwin Peddicord as
Professor Timothy Twitters and
Herbert Clark doubled as an ex-
pressman and also as Officer Null
doom. All played their parts well
from start to finish.
Mrs. Herbert Clark played vio-
lin solo and Mrs. w. r. Ross gave
a vocal solo. both of which were
well received by the audience. Mr..
Pike gave misunderstanding
"Cremona" in his best form.
Mrs. Blanton of the violin studio
of IPasco rendered several violin
numbers, which were much appre-
ciated by the audience. The Dash
ing tDarkies did very well indeed.
Mr.. Woodend as interloculator,
was very good and each of the
darkies were out for a good time,
it seemed. The darby quartette
sang several numbers while Ras-
tus( Carroll Harding gave read
ing "Yas Sah." Several jokes were
told and the Darky quartet wished
the audience "Good night, LADIES'.
The Cleaner class would like to
thank all those who helped us in
putting on the entertainment Fri
day, especially those who furnish
ed special numbers on the pro-
gram and those who helped fix the
stage. Too much praise cannot be
given to Mrs. C. Pattee, who work
ed so faithfully.

'6 Million Topples
 For Memorial Day
President Hoover and Other NOtabes Heartily Endorse
 VIEW. Buddy Poppy Sale" for 1881

New York-The Buddy poppy sale is conducted nationally each year by the Veterans of Foreign Wars dur ing the week of Memorial day to raise relief work funds.
 Mrs John F. Sipple, president or the General Federation of Women's clubs, has voiced pledge of sup port and approval: T am glad to en- dorse the sale of buddy peoples for 1891. It seems to me most worth while thing. Remembering those who have done so much for us, certainly each of us should be glad to help in this small way to alleviate dis tress among veterans and their fam flies. ..... you may have my best wishes for the success of your work. v
 Mrs Frank Howard Parcells, state regent of the D. A R. in New Yodk. cites the buddy poppy as a symbol of appreciation and loyalty: T heartily endorse the buddy poppy plan of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. s. in it's 1881 sade and urge everyone to wear a V. +. W. poppy on Memirial day, thus ex- pressing to the needy ex-servicemen and their families, our appreciation of their service to our beloved coun- try and their loyalty to the ideals
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-29

of the founders of the nation."
 President Hoover has endorsed the buddy poppy plan following the pre- cedent of other presidents since the sale was initiated. Religious leaders, business and professional associa- tions, both local and national and various fraternal organizations also commend it..
 Each genuine buddy poppy carries a copyright green label which indi- cates it as the handiwork of dis abled and needy ex-servicmen. All he boddy peoples used in the V. F. W. sale are made in government hos pitals through an arrangement with the US. Veterans bureau. Approxi- mately 100000 are being made in U. s. veterans hospital, No S1, New York city, where the poppy making gives employment to patients the greater part of the year. A national total of 6,000,000 will be completed in readiness for the opening of the sale.
 The sale proceeds are devoted en- tirely to relief activities, including a allotment to the maintenance and expansion of the V. F. W. Ma tional home of Widows and Orphans of ex-Servicemen, in Eaton, Rapids.

Michigan. The home site covers 512 acres.
 The necessity for adequote funds
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-29

for relief and welfare work among ex-servicemerf and their dependents is especially strong this spring in view of the serious unemployment condition in various parts of the country. The number of needy vet erans is also increasing whose health has finallyq given way as result of wartime experiences, making them no longer capable of self-sup- port.
 The Veterans of Foreign Wars was the first veteran organization to un- dertake and successfully conduct the poppy sale movement on a nation- wide scale. The first V. F. W. na- tional poppy sale was held in 1922. using French peoples made by wo- men and children of the devastated areas. The following year, with a greater demand, the organization had to resort to peoples made commer- cially. The present plan of manufac- ture was developed in 1924 in order to extend the relief afffforded by the poppies to those men who were dis abled and needy but still capable of this employment, and the V. F. w.. buddy poppy factory organized. where only those handicapped by war disabilities were employed in putting together the emblems. The plan has expanded annually with the cumulative success of the sale, and is recognized by the U. s. Veterans bureau as a valuable adjunct to the occupational therapy work in the government hospitals where the poppies are made.
 Unique annual features observed In connection with the sale are mammonth poppy wreath for the home of Americas unknown soldier, another for the tomb of Woodrow Wilson, our wa rpresident, and agiant poppy anchor cast into the sea un-

EARNED LAND
 OVER CENTURY

Polar Bluff, Mo, (UP)-The farm CT who grows only one or two crops is out of luck-take it from Thomas Kemp, more familiarly known in these parts as Uncle Tom my.
 And Uncle Tommy should know whereof he speaks: he has been farming something more than a century.
 With the advent of warm spring weather, Uncle Tommy, who says he is 118, set about getting his small plot of land five miles north of here in shape.
 DespiteShis age. Uncle Tommy is disciple of the school of mod ern agriculture. He reads the newspapers and more popular farm journals, keeps posted on the latest methods of farming and lends an attentive ear to any suggestion of innovation which might keep his tactics up to date. Kemp came to this section over half century ago, and is now living with his daughter and son. in-law.
