Organizations of Volunteers Will
Distribute the Memorial
Flowers i'm City

Complete plans for the observ-
ance of Poppy Day in Sank Cen
ire on Saturday, May 18th, were
announced by Mrs. Emil Polipnick,
poppy committee chairman Of the
Robert James Swift Post, Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary, following q
special meeting of the committee.
Organization of a corps of volun.
teer workers to carry out the dis
tribution of the memorial peoples
throughout the city was completed
and leaders appointed to direct the
work in the various areas.
THE American Legion Auxiliary
peoples will be distributed entirely
by volunteer workers." said Mrs.
Polipnick. 1.-The response to our
call for volunteers has been very
gratifying from both our senior
and junior members, and we will be
able to give everyone in the city an
opportunity to wear a poppy on
Poppy Day. AS the workers will
serve entirely without pay or com,
mission, every penny contributed
in exchange for the flowers will go
for the welfare activities of the Lee
gion and Auxiliary.
THE enthusiasm of our women
for the Poppy Day project is due to
the two great purposes which the
little memorial flower achieves.
First, it pays tribute to those gal
liant young men who sacrificed
their lives in defense Of American
ideals on the poppy-studded fields
of France and Belgium. Second, 1t
raises funds for the relief and re-
Mobilization of the living victims of
the war, the disabled veterans,
their families and the families of
the dead. We are hoping that the
people Of Sank Centre will under
stand the significance Of the poppy
and give us their support on Poppy
Day."
