Poppies Are To
Be Sold Saturday
Sponsored By American Lee
giOn Auxiliary; Mrs. Bad
ger Is Chairman

Veterans of World War I and
World War II are expected to be
among the first to buy a poppy
on Poppy Day, next Saturday,
according to Mrs. Guy Badger,
of the American Legion Auxili-
airy, who is in charge of the sale
of these memorial flowers.
To-day as in 1917 and 1918 our
men are again fighting overseas,
giving their lives that we may
be safe. These boys are our rel
atives, our neighbors, our friends.
It is grievous to us that they
must suffer, and who better ap-
preciates the amount of suffer-
ing they endure than the veter-
ans of this war and the last?
'Those on the home front wish
to show that they remember and
revere those who died in both
wars, and to do this, they wear
the poppy. This little red flow
er expresses feelings that are too
deep to put into words. It is one
way of telling the heroic dead
that we will all do our best to
keep up the good fight
'The women of the American
Legion Auxiliary will be on the
streets all day Saturday offering
the poppies made by disabled
veterans to the public. I am sure
that veterans and civilians alike
will be eager to wear the little
red symbol of sacrifice" Mrs.
Badger said.
