Poppy Day Viii Be
Observed Saturday

Tribute will be paid by millions of
Americans Saturday to the nations
World War dead. The day will be
Poppy Day throughout the country
and little red poppies symbolic of
patriotic sacrifice will be worn in
thousands of cities and towns. This
year, with trenches again dug in the
poppy-studded fields of France, the
American public is intensely war
conscious, also, as never before, of
the blessings of our country and are
being moved by stronger sentiments
of patriotism. With our poppies we
are offering them means of ex-
pressing their feelings for those who
died in war to defend the things
they value so highly today, and to
aid those who still are suffering as
a result of patriotic service.
at is a real sacrifice for many OF
these women to serve on Poppy Day.
They must leave their homes and put
IN hours of hard, unaccustomed work.
Their only reward will be to see the
poppies blooming on every coat in
tribute to the nations heroic dead
and to feel their coin boxes grow
heavy with contributions for the
wars living victims. / am sure
everyone in Bluffton and community
will appreciate what they are doing
and will respond gladly to their ap-
peal to wear poppy" it was stated
by Mrs. Monroe Amstutz, president
of the Legion Auxiliary.
