POPPY DAY HERE is SET
FOR SATURDAY, MAY 97
CONTINUED from First Page,


By 1924 it was seen that the pop
py program lent itself more natur-
ally TO the work of women than of
men,, and The American Legion
gavelthe Auxiliary complete charge
of the national program. This was
a heavy responsibility. Wearing
the flower was the nations annual
tribute to the World Waf dead.
From the distribution of the flower
came a large proportion of the
welfare and relief funds of both
organizations. Seldom has such a
gigantic enterprise been placed
solelyiin the hands of women.
How well the Auxiliary measur-
ed up to the responsibility placed
on its shoulders is shown by the
development of the poppy pro-
gram. Each year approximately
5000 900 Americans wear Legion
and Auxiliary poppies in tribute to
the war dead, contributing for the
flowers over "a million dollars for
the welfare of the wars living vic
