garden that is unusual, or big in size,
or many years old. Watch! 1t might
be yours next week.
Those who daily pass a garden on

ing water safety, program, and the
conduct of the Camp in general.
The Rodney Scout Camps are To-

of fine woodland. The camping IA
cilities, equipment and leadership

the Camp will be filled to its capa-
city of $50 Scouts for all of the six
weeks.

Day. Don't forget me.
The following essay by Verde won
the first prize of $3.50 for girls in
the contest:
ESSAY No. 2
The Flanders Poppy
The poppy means so much TO me,
1t means even more than | can
tell;
1t marks the place across the sea
Where our brave soldier fell.
The poppy was chosen as the Ma
tiOnal flower for the American Leg
ion because the flower grew in
countless numbers throughout the
battlefields in France, where the SOL
diers fought during the World War,
and in the cemeteries where the war
dead were buried.
1.-THE Flanders Poppy" was chos-
en- for its red color. because red
stands for bravery and the blood the
soldiers shed A great poem called
"In Flanders Field" was written in
tribute to the noble poppies which
bloomed in the midst of the battles.
The disabled war veterans make
these artificial flowers from red
crepe paper during the long winter
when they have nothing
else to occupy their time.
On National Poppy Day. which is
being celebrated on May 9th this
year, the local American Legion
posts sell the poppies. The money
from the sale of poppies is used for
worthy causes such as helping the
disabled veterans and their families,
and helping the hospitals in which
many of the veterans are compelled
to spend the rest of their life.
1t is also used for the undernour-
shed school children. feeding and
the poor families and pro-
yiding dental and medical care for
hose who are unable to pay for it
themselves.
If we boys and girls. who are for
upate in having parents who are
healthy and are able to provide food
md clothing for us, would do all
We could to help the American Leg
on with its sale of poppies and help
,ur more unfortunate playmates to
,e more cheerful and better citizens
We could make every day National
'oppy Day. {

1t would seem that the bottom

long ago. 1t was very fortunate
that the first inspection of the

done before the deluge .came,
because the gardens have looked
rather sad since their very
thorough bath. However, they
were lovely at the right time
and did credit to their owners
for the care that had been given
them. Another inspection will
