Older men and women have seen the OK cart replaced by the locomotive, automobile and air. plane. Retail shops have grown to great department stores But the most important growth has been the change in ideas of education with a great increase in the num- Der of schools.

TOMORROW IS

English Speaking World Commentaries, Aids War
 Victims Buying Insignia

On their way to work tomorrow morning, May 18th, the people of Juneau will be offered little red poppieS to wear in memory of the World War dead. They will also be offered an opportunity to con- tribute to the welfare Of the wars living victims. All day Saturday members of the American Legion Auxiliary will be on the streets with baskets of the peoples and with coin boxes to receive contr.Eu- tons in exchange for the memorial flowers.
 ! The custom of wearing peoples in memory of the war dead is fifteen yeals old this year, and is gc>.erally observed througho |. the English speaking world In ths United States the women of the American Legion Auxiliary aa. developed It into a great nationa .Nrogram for commemora ,..ly the services of those who died and for bringing aid to those wil1 sacri- feed heoltb and strength in the nations service.

life itself will cease. William FL lery Charming, educator, has writ ten, to educate a child requires profounder thought and wisdom than to govern a state" Education is the most important of all human endeavors, especially in this coun- try where there are no titles, no class distinctions This is a land of golden opportunity where men are not distinguished by blood or heredity or class or caste but by his own individual achievements said Judge Alexander.
 Many of the greatest men in our history, continued Judge Alex ander, have come from humble homes, as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson, both born on the frontier and self educated. Car negie, the first, and greatest of all the so-called steel barons, was the son of humble Scotch parents. The Judge told the seniors that what they do from now on will shape their futures, which will be exactly what they make it.
 These things are important in life, pointed out the Judge, "a firm foundation of characters, am- oition and a definite goal, utiliz- ing every opportunity. Whatever occupation you choose, be the best there is, whether you be lawyer, doctor, merchant, carpenter, cob bier or fisherman. Be the most honorable, most dependable son or daughter, mother or father and citizen that you are able to be and you will win the sincere affec- tion of family and friends. At the end it may be said of you, Well done, thou good and faithful ser yant."

American Legion Auxiliary poppy each year on Poppy Day, the Saturday before Memorial Day, md contribute nearly one million dollars for the relief of the war disabled, the widows and fatherless children All of the poppies are made by the disabled veterans, as the label on each poppy shows.
 Made By Disabled Veterans
 Early in the winter the making of the peoples which will be worn the following May, begins in gov ernment hospitals and in special workrooms maintained by the Aux iliary throughout the country. Hands of disabled veterans, weary of idleness, are given employment shaping the little paper flowers. Discouraged men whose spirits have sunk to despair from months and years of unemployment are given the reviving experience of again earning money. s.
 
 "A penny apiece is paid for each poppy made. A veteran, if he is not too badly disabled, can easily turn out 300 of the flowers in a short working day. This is usually the maximum number the disabled men are permitted to make in a day to prevent them from overtaxing their strength, and means earnings of three dollars a day.
 For men who nave lain in hos pitals for months feeling that they were useless membranes on the earth, three one dollar bills actual ly earned are worth a fortune. For the families of these men-the poppy makers are all men who re-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-05-25

ceive little or no government com- pensation-the money earned often means food, shelter and fuel for the winter. For the men without families the poppy earnings pro- vide a stake for the day when they must go out and attempt to re-establish themselves in life against the handicap of their disabilities.
 Veterans too badly disabled to make complete flowers sometimes form what they call Poppy Cor porations.' Several of them work together on the same flower, each performing the operation which he can do and passing the flower to the others to be completed. Even blinded veterans can take part in the work under this arrangement.
 Large Problem Involved
 !, Manufacturing the peoples in- wolves large problems of financing management and distribution for the Auxiliary woneN directing the project. This year wages paid to the disabled veterans will total nearly $1O0,0O0. Employment has been given to many hundreds in 58 different hospitals and work rooms in 40 states.
 sThe funds derived from the peoples are used by the Auxiliary and the American Legion in giving aid to disabled veterans, theil families and families of the dead for whom no other aid is available Groceries for the family of a vet eran too sick to work-shoes for the children of veteran lying i'll in a distant government hospital

"a loan to a convalescent veteran struggling to get back on his feet these are typical of the purposes for which the poppy contributions are used. The money is expended largely. in the community in which it is raised under the direction oi the rehabilitation and child vel fare committees of the local Aux Hilary Unit and Legion Post.
 Draws Wide Appeal
 "The wearing of the poppy draws it's wide appeal from it's dual pur- pose of honoring the dead and serving the living. Every red flower on a lapel on Poppy Day means that the wearer has thought of the men who lie beneath the peoples in France, and has contrib uted something to the relief and rehabilitation of the men, women and children who are still fightine the long battle against physica- and financial handicaps resulting  from war service." ~

 Poppy wreaths have had a splen- did sale throughout Juneau an6 Glacier Highway districts, accord ing to the Legion Auxiliary com mittee. It has been by far the largest sale ever conducted and we surely appreciate the cooperation of those who have supported the sale, committee members said.

A cotton production forecast for

found A. A. A, officials wondering
what would be done next year with
almost 100000 Bankhead exemption
certificates that weren't used this

The Bankhead bill fixed the num-
Der of bales of cotton that could be
sold tax free at about l0,400000 bales,
and certificates eXempting this num-
Der of bales from the levy imposed
under the act were issued.
The President favors continuance
of the Bankhead bill for next year.
This is expected to cause growers to
poll the necessary majority for the
compulsory measure at the ballot to
be held December IA
If the bill is continued. the farmers
who hold the 100000 certificates Will
be entitled to use them next year in
addition to their regular quota under

a report of the National tuberculosis
Association. submitted after series
of studies and research made for the

of New York.

mine S. Whitney, statiStician for the
association that the cost to the $50

of almost $4,000, 100000. That sum
will be spread over five and one-half

In submitting the report. Miss
Whitney called attention 10 its sig
nifiCant bearing on the prevention
of tuberculosis
Despite the steady progress made
in tuberculosis control, she said,
tuberculosis still kills more people
in the prime of life than any other
disease. This study points directly to
the crux of the problem confronting
the 1000 tuberculosis associations and
committees which are devoted to the
all-year-round task of fighting tuber-
culosis with the money raised by
Christmas seals. Early diagnosis is
shown by this study to be the most
vitally important factor in decreasing
the cost of sickness. And this. OF
course. shortens the period required
for recovery and increases the prob
ability of cure. This is the meaning
of the financial cost when interpreted
in terms of saving human lives and
preventing human suffering"
