Good Evening.
MY OLD NEW ENGLAND HOME
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Be 1t ever so humble
 And lacking in modern eadgets and chrome, It's always grand at that
 To return to my New England home Florida sun becomes bit glaring Broiling the guilt bordered sands, Rum coolers fail to quencn thirst And noisome become the bands. Sailfishing has its points,
 But at night persists dream Of sharply cool Berkshire shade And remote and turbulent trout stream. Stacks and shorts of bizarre oesign, All that southern wear once nifty and cute, I'd trade the whole darn outfit now For plain and prosaic tweed suit. Be 1t ever so humble And lacking in modern gadgets and chrome, It's just grand to come back at that, To my old New England home.

Coolidge Union High School Graduates Thirty -Four
Buy A Poppy

Poppy Day will be observed
throughout the United States on
May 27, the Saturday before Me
mortal Day, when the poppy, memo
rial flower of The American Legion
and Auxiliary, will be worn in
tribute to the World War dead and
to aid the wars living victims,
the i S b e veterans, their
families and the families of the
dead. Squadrons cooperate in the
Poppy Day program.
The poppies are crepe paper
replicas Of the wild poppies Of
France and Belgium which grew
in such profusion in the World
War battle areas and provided the
one touch of natures beauty amid
the desolation and death Of the
front. They are made by disabled
veterans working under direction
of the American Legion Auxiliary
in rs different government hospi-
tails and Auxiliary work rooms in
AZ states. Many hundreds of dis
abled men, drawing little or no
government compensation, and hav-
ing families to support have been
given employment making more
than 100000 poppies for Poppy
Day this year.
Volunteer workers from the
Auxiliary distribute the memorial
flowers and receive contributions
for aid to the disabled and de-
pendedent families. Every penny
of the money given for poppy
goes into the welfare rehabilitation
funds of the Legion and Auxiliary
and is expended for the benefit
of the wars unfortunate victims.
Wearing a poppy on Poppy Day
means Honor for the dead and
aid for the living
This Saturday, May o. Coolidge
Auxiliary ladies will sell poppies
in town and are hoping every
one will buy a poppy to wear. 80
per cent of this money will remain
in town for rehabilitation work,
and many families of disabled
veterans will benefit from this
assistance through the efforts of
the American Legion Auxiliary.
