May 2srd Desig-
mated Poppy Day

Poppies of patriotic remembrance
will bloom in Cecil county on Sat
urday, May %, Mrs. De Mar, presi-
dent of Susquehanna Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary, has an
nounced.
Every man, woman and child will
be asked to wear a poppy on that
day in honor of the men who have
given their lives for America. The
peoples will be distributed by vol
unteer workers from the Auxiliary
and the coins contributed for
them will be used in Legion and
Auxiliary work for the war disabled,
their families and the families of
the dead.
The peoples which will be distri-
buted have been made by disabled
veterans at Perry Point. Making the
little red flowers has given many
veterans employment during the
winter and spring months. The
work is limited to men receiving
little or no government compensa-
ton and those with families to sup
port.
Contributions received for the
peoples on Poppy Day are prin-
cipal source of support for the
vast welfare work carried out by
the Legion and Auxiliary among the
disabled men and dependent fam
lilies. With the new war adding to
Americas list of war victims there
will be greatly increased need for
funds during the coming year.
Poppy Day has been observed by
the Legion and Auxiliary annually
for the past twenty years. With the
nation again at war, the poppy has
new significance this year and will
be worn as smybol of patriotism
by millions of Americans through
out the country.
More than 13.000,000 of the
flowers have been made by disabled
veterans for the. Auxiliary, the
largest number since athe obsesvance
of Poppy Day was begun twenty
years ago. Orders for peoples from
Auxiliary Units everywhere have
increased this year in anticipation
of greatly increased demand for the
flowers of patriotic remembrance.
