Poppies Ready For
"Poppy Day" Sales

Bright red popp;es, crepe paper
replicas Of the famous peoples of
Flanders Fields, fill Legion head
quarters here today as the women of
the American Legion Auxiliary pre-
pare for the annual observance of
Poppy Day on Saturday. May 25.
The peoples were received from
Oteen where they were made by dis
abled World War veterans. They
show the patient and devoted work Of
these men who made them in re-
membrance of their departed COM
rades. All handmade, the flowers
vary slightly according to the skill
oil the veterans.
"POppy-making means much to the
disabled veterans" explained Mrs.
Geneva B. Teiser Poppy Day chair
man. For those in the hospitals, it
provides an interesting occupation to
fill the long hours Of illness and con-
valescence. It has high value as oc-
cupational therapy, helping the men
speed their recovery. 1t gives them
the encouraging experience of again
earning money and Of being able to
send money home 10 help support
their families.
THE poppy work rooms maintain
ed by the Auxiliary in a number of
states, provide employment for dis
abled men outside the hospitals who
are unable to do other work. For
them the poppy work is an eagerly
sought relief from unhappy idlcness,
from the almost hopeless search for
a job their limited strength can per-
form, and means Of supporting
themselves and families"
The disabled veterans are the only
persons who receive pay for poppy
work. The Auxiliary women and Jr
Auxiliary members who handle and
distribute the flowers serve as I'M
paid volunteers, all contributions re-
ceived on Poppy Day going to sup
port Legion and Auxiliary efforts for
the disabled and the needy families
of veterans.
