POPPIES ASSIST
 NEEDY VETERANS

Naugatuck, May 25.-An account ing of how the $278.61 collected last year by the Naugatuck post, Ameri- can Legion in its poppy sale was handled is given today in a state- ment by George Chiswell, post com- mander, and James Farren, chair man of the poppy committee.
 The statement points out the poppy fund is handled as a sacred trust and after paying for the mate- cial of which the poppy is made, the balance of the fund is used to pay disabled soldiers for making the poppies and to provide local relief for needy veterans and their de- pendents.
 The statement shows there was a balance of $47.54 on hand May 15, 1888 and receipts from poppy sales amounted to $278.61 or a total avail able of $326.15. Of this amount, $283- .87 was spent and on May 15 this year there is . balance of $42.28. Disbursements were as follows: rents, $26.75; clothing. $5.s0; food, $65.97; fuel, $2l; doctors, hospitals and medicines, $63; cost of peoples, $50; funerals and miscellaneous, $51.25.
 The statement points out the Le- zion is the only organization selling peoples which renders an annual accounting and said "every dollar received is disbursed along sound lines for veterans and their families. The labor to administer the poppy fund is donated. The handling of the poppy fund is one of the finest examples of keeping faith"

Capital Flowers Into FluSter Over Royal Garden Party
Limited Invite
 List Wits Many Budding Hopes
BY GERRY DICK NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Washington, May 25 = Not since they burned the White House in 1874 have the British caused such a stir in the nations capital as they are caused in connection with the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth.
 To be strictly accurate, it isn't so much the British that are caus- ing the stir as it is the rather large group of excited Washing tonian who are getting all pop eyed about the affair. But the point is that the stir is taking place.
 Most of it centers around the big garden party which is to be thrown for their majesties at the British embassy. This thing is being handled with enough for mality to fit a coronation, and the acute grief nourished in the bosoms of people who thought they ought to get invitations, but didn't, is a pitiful and saddening thing to be- hold.
