GETTING READY
FOR POPPY day
Ely Auxiliary to Conduct Drive
in Aid of War Victims on
Saturday, May %.

PoppieS will bloom in Ely on Saturday,
May %, and will glow on the coats of
remembering Americans in honor of the
World War dead, according to Mrs.
Thomas Murn and Mrs. o. T. F'reidS-
burg in charge of the poppy sales.
The women of Frank Liozar Unit No.
248 of the American Legion Auxiliary
will offer the peoples on the streets on
that day and give everyone an oppor-
tunity to pay tribute to the war dead
and to help the wars living victims with
contributions given for the little red
flower.
The American Legion poppy not only
gives us a means of rendering personal
tribute to the memory of those brave
young men who sacrificed their lives
for America, it also gives us means OF
aiding those who also sacrificed but
are still within reach of our help. From
the annual wearing of the little flower
come benefits reaching into every cor
ner of the country and touching the
lives of thousands of unfortunate men,
women and children.
The vast program of welfare and re-
Mobilization work carried out by the
American Legion and Auxiliary draws
its principal support from the poppy,
The dimes, quarters and half dollars
we drop into the coin boxes of the poppy
workers supply the means for local.
state and national activities for the
benefits of disabled veterans and the
families left in need through the death
or disability of veterans. The Poppy
Day contributions make aid available
during the other 1854 days of the year
to those who still are paying in steady
installments the wars bitter debt OF
suffering and privation.
When We pin on our peoples this
year, there should come to us all vision
of the part we are playing in the effort
to heal the nations war wounds. We
should look upon our peoples not only
as flowers of memory for the dead but
as flowers of hope for the living.
