SATURDAY TO
BE POPPY DAY
Memorial Flower To Be
Sold; Funds for Legion
Welfare Work

Veterans Of the World war
were urged to pay tribute to their
fallen comrades on Poppy day,
Saturday, May 20, in message
issued today by Paul English,
commander of the Hubert NJ.
Smith post of the American Lc-
gion.
Commander English called upon
all members of the Legion and
other veterans to observe the day
wearing memorial peoples in hon
or of the war dead. His message
stated:
con Saturday, May 20, our
comrades who gave their lives in
defense of the country will be re-
membered and honored by the
wearing of their memorial flow
er, the poppy. We who served by
their sides can never forget the
great patriotic sacrifice they
made. All Legionnaires and other
veterans will, | am sure, be among
the first to wear the flower of re-
membrance on Poppy day.
"The peoples will be distribut-
ed by the women of the American
Legion Auxiliary, our wives,
mothers, sisters and daughters.
They are giving thr services on
that day to bring everyone in the
city an opportunity to honor the
war dead and help the disabled
and fatherless families. The pop
pies have been made by disabled
veterans unable to do other work.
Contributions received for the
flowers will be used in the well
fare activities Of the Legion and
Auxiliary.
Twenty years have passed
since the call to war came, but
we of the Legion have not for
gotten. We are still devoted to
the ideals for which we fought
and hold high the memory OF
those who died in service to coun-
try. We hope that all patriotic
citizens will join us in wearing
the poppy on Poppy day."
