 The appearance of the little red flower of remembrance, the poppy, signalizes locally the opening of the annual campaign of Corporal Coyle Post, American Legion and Veter- ans of Foreign Wars to make the public conscious of its debt of grat- itude.

 Past Commander Wallace J. In- .glis of the Legion committee an- snounced today that some 1900 graves will be visited within the next two weeks. Due to the scarcity sOf materials the legion will be un- -.able this year to distribute bronze grave markers, but fund has been set up to permit the purchase of all that will be needed to designate the graves of men and women who served their country.
