Mayor Designates
Next SATURDAY. as
Poppy Day Here

Saturday, May %, was designated as
Poppy Day in a proclamation issued
today by Mayor Irvine B. Watkins.
The proclamation urged all citizens to
observe the day by wearing memorial
dead 1t stated:
"When the United States was plung-
ed into the World War in 1917, the
City of Henderson responded to the
nations call in a spirit of exalted
patriotism. The citizens of the city
offered their efforts and their means
in the nations defense, serving and
sacrificing in the national cause. The
City of Henderson holds in proud
memory it's part in the great national
effort which brought victorious peace
in 1918.
MANY of the city's young men were
called into the armed services and
some of them were called upon to sa-
crifice their lives in that service, dy-
ing with thousands Of other brave
young Americans upon the battle
fields of France. There, over their
graves, a little flower sprang up and
bloomed, natures tribute to the heroic
dead. 1t was the poppy, and their COM
rades ask Americans to wear a poppy
in their memory, one day of each
year. On Saturday, May %, The Am
erican Legion and the American Lee
gion Auxiliary will distribute these
memorial peoples in our city.
Therefore, I, Mayor of the City of
Henderson, do hereby proclaim Sat
urday, May %, to be Poppy Day in
THE City of Henderson, and I urge all
citizens observe the day by wearing
the memorial poppy in order that the
I inspiring memory of those who made
/ the highest patriotic sacrifice during
] the war may be recalled to every
mind.

Mayor"
