HOOVER WEARS
FIRST POPPY

President Hoover today received
from 7-year-old Hazel Viola Mar
tinson the first buddy poppy" of
the season inaugurating thereby
the 1881 poppy campaign con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Little Miss Martinson came all
the way from the Veterans Ma
tional Home in Eaton Rapids,
Mich, to make the presentation.
She is one of two orphans of
Henry L. Martinson who served
overseas during the World War
and died as a result of disabilities
received in service.
The buddy poppy presented by
the little girl was made in the
United States Veterans Hospital,
No. 81, in New York city, where
the disabled ex-service men are
making approximately $4,000 a
week in preparation for the
annual poppy sale conducted
each year during the week of
Memorial Day.
A total of 100000 will be in
readiness for the opening of the
yearly sale.
President Hoover has indorSed
the poppy campaign in letter
to the commander-in-chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.

FIELD WORKERS
GET HOLIDAYS

More than 5000 field service
employees of the Interior Depart
ment have been granted Saturday
half holiday privileges during the
summer months by Secretary of
the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur.
These Federal workers were
specifically excluded from the
scope of the all-year-round Satur-
day half-hOIiday act enacted by
Congress last March.
Backed by McCarl
Fortified by an opinion by
Comptroller General McCarl, Sec
retary Wilbur has been enabled
to apply the old executive order
providing for the Saturday half
holiday during the four summer
months to the field service work
ers, who had been fearful that
tn ~ would be left out in the
cold" entirely as the result of the
new law.
Similar provision is being made
for field service workers in other
departments of the Federal Gov
ernment as far as practicable.
Will Get Extra Time
Lighthouse keepers and other
special classes in the Department
of Commerce will not be granted
half-hOlidays during the summer,
but probably will have extra time
off duty allotted them equivalent
to the four hours given other Fed
eral workers at the weekend.
Chief clerks of the various de-
partmentS are now working on the
task of placing both the field serv-
ice and local classes of Federal
workers on a parity, so far as the
Saturday half-holiday act is con-
Cerned.

that each school has such a large

assemblies on successive days in
order to reach the entire student
bodies.
John Paul Collins. assistant
principal of Eastern High, was the
speaker at that institution, while
Jacob A. KamerOw addressed the
Business High student body.
Mr.. Collins repeated the address

He urged the students to go into
