Auxiliary Reports
Successful Poppy Sale
Over 1900 OF The Sacred Flowers
Were Sold Here This Year

Once again, through the kind
ness of the public. the ladies of
the American Legion Auxiliary
were able to sell all of the poppies
they had ordered. This year there
were 1900 poppies sold, $50 more
than last year. One reason for such
successful sale was the generous
contributions many persons gave
for their poppies. The money de-
rived from this sale is used by the
auxiliary for nothing but rehabil-
itation work for veterans and their
families of World War 1 and also
of this present conflict.
The auxiliary wishes to thank
the public for its splendid cooper
alton, also Senator Robert Yerkes
of the Chronicle office for the pub
licity he gave our sale; Mr.. Cohee,
of the Fox Store. who, every year,
very graciously permits us to use
his store entrance, and all others
who in any way contributed to our
successful poppy sale.

Italians Greatly In
 Need Of Food, Clothes
Medical Supplies Also in Demand to Aid War Victims;
 Justice MarchsiOn Directing American Activities

Although military authorities are providing great quantities of food and supplies there is still a need for supplemental aid for many recently liberated Italians, according to Ju- venal Marchisio, president of Amer ican Relief for Italy, Inc, accord ing to a report received today by Milton H.

Rev. ]. DOnnelIy

Rev. ,. DOnnelly speech delivered that day by Benjamin Franklin, a speech that is as applicable to our day as 1t was to his.
 "GOD GOVERNS THE
 AFFAIRS OF MEN"
 The delegates of the Colonies had met to draw up the Articles of their new Government. Little progress was being made for every proposi- ton produced Gas many ayes as noes proof of the imperfection of the Human understanding"
 It was at this point that Frank lin arose, addressed himself to Gen. eral washington and stated that the Convention would end in disaster unless they could find that political wisdom i've have been running about in search of."
 ''In this situation of this Assem- bly," reads Madison's careful rec ord of the speech" groping as 1t were in the political dark to fnd political truth, and scarce able to distinguish 1t when presented to us, how does 1t happen, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understand ingsP In the beginning of the Con- test with G. Britain, when We were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.
 "Our prayers were heard and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent in- stances of a experimenting provi- dence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe the opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national policy. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? have lived, Sir a long time. and the longer live. the more convincing proofs I see of this truth That God governs the affairs ot men.
 BUILDERS OF BABEL
 T firmly believe that without his concuring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel; we shall be divided by our little partial local interests: our projects will be con- founded, and we ourselves shall be- come a reproach and by-word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair Of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave 1t to chance, war and conquest"
 On this July coming to our country in the midst of another crisis the words of Franklin still ring with truth. Our strength and guidance will come from God as a blessing for a humble and contrite people. On "D-Day" there was a nation wide resurgence of public prayer in our country. It was a iong-delayed turning to God but the fevor of that day must remain. We, too, need the assistance of Heaven," for day by day we are learning more clearly how truly God governs the affairs of men" THE DECISION IN FIRE
