Annual Poppy Sale
to Be Held Here
on 18th of May

In nearly every state in this
country there is a government hos
pital where the members Of the
American Legion Auxiliary are daily
visitors carrying comfort and cheer
to the disabled veterans, keeping up
their contact with the outside world,
putting them at ease regarding their
families and trying to let them
know they are not forgotten.
The Auxiliary brings to these
men, also, the opportunity to earn
money for the. support of their
families ..... ....=. 10. ...s.. .. -.
In many hospitals the work OF
making peoples has been going
forward during the winter and
spring. Hundreds of disabled men
could not possibly have found work
elsewhere, have been given employ
ment. This is a most interesting
occupation, for it not only bright
ems the long hospital hours, but it
also gives the encouraging exper-
fence of once again earning money.
Even men confined to beds and
wheel chairs can make these pop
pies. It isn't hard work and each
poppy made means a penny for the
maker, and pennies add up into dol
lars ...,.-..
Approximately hundred thous-
and dollars is paid the veterans each
year for the peoples Poppy making
is restricted to veterans receiving
little or no compensation those with
dependent families receiving pref
erence. The peoples each veteran is
permitted to make each day de-
ponds upon the number OF veterans
in the hospital so that each may
have chance to work
Poppy distributors will be the
members of the Auxiliary. The sale
will be held Saturday, May %. A
poppy worn on Memorial Day
means that the wearer honors the
memory of our veterans and is
marching on peace time service to
America

BY EDWARD KANTRoWITZ ,
A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN

Last week Hendersonville lost
one of it's foremost citizens, an
outstanding teacher of many sub
iects, and a man whom had once
called the best all-around gentle
man of Western North Carolina.
Thomas Woodd Valentine had
been teacher in the Henderson
vile high school for the last 10
or so years. and the fulfillment Of
his duties in that capacity meant
much more to him than the &C
complishing Of duty-to him it
was sacred trust. His knowledge
Of the subjects that he taught was
so complete that he was consid-
cred an authority on all of them.
His interest in the welfare of each
student was so marked that he
would go out of his way to help
him over the snags.
Actual experience taught him
much of his knowledge of physical
geography and he had worked out
the course according to his own
plan and the ideas he devised
were entirely new. Hendersonville
High was lucky even to make daily
contacts with such an outstanding
man. Due to his efforts the Hen
Jacksonville high school is the only
one in the state that offers q
course in physical geography. :.
We students will never forget
him. His pleasantness in class, his
unforgettable and distinctive class
lectures, his general fairness to
every one, his personal interest in
all Of us-these are the virtues
which had endeared him to us all.
His loss will be felt deeply, but
surely one who has given so much
to the world in loyalty, service,
and devotion has not lived in
vain.

Daphne thought, and stole a hur-
ried glance out the south window,
saw the dusty figure on her gar
den will and knew it to be not
the rotund Mr.. Snyder she had al
ready met. Without removing the
unflattering towel that bound her
hair, or the grimy effects of her
mornings work, oblivious to the
shapelessnes of her slender figure
enveloped in one of Prunella's
pink gingham models, she went in
to the garden.

could ask him what ne wanted.
"will you tell me who owns this

"Its owned by the Misses
Brett" she said shortly.
He didn't look at her; plainly
his eyes were all for Brett Hall.
"I'd like to see the interior" he
said. "Also I'd like to have a bit
of lunch. Do you think the Misses
Brett are Hospitality inclined?"
There's nothing but scrambled
eggs" Daphne said, her eyes once
more on her watch. There was so
much to be done in so short a
time. She had no time to ex-
change pleasantries with stray
travellers of the road, but this one

crisply, and picked up her broom.
"You might earn that lunch by
tackling the weeds in the. west
garden. This place has got to look
like a well-kept garden by 3
o'clock. Prunella will give you
your lunch in the Kitchen"
"Fair enough" he said, and
tucked his pipe into pocket of
the coat he discarded at once.
Daphne forgot him. There were
many things to be done. There
were the bowls to fill with flowers
and Daphne herself to transform
from a scullery maid into a cool,
charming hostess in q smart frock
