The check-up started Monday in

I'VE are in the midst of a tire
crisis" Mr.. Lang said. The crisis
was contributed TO by the practice
of irresponsible inspectors failing
to report abuses under OPA tire
regulations and certifying in error
that tires were junk and replace
able.
This practice results in discri-
mination because volunteer MEM
bers of tire panels accept this in
formation as authentic and in
many cases qualify and issue tires

HERE'S YOUR INFANTRY HAS 3PURPOSES
INCOMING HERE TO STAGE SHAM BATTLE
Aid War Bond Drive, Show Importance Of Ground
Troops In Warfare Focus Attention On Jap Phase

Here's Your Infantry, the big
Army show which will be present
ed on the Union county Fair
grounds June 2, has three main
purposes in visiting MarysvilIe
These are:
l. To aid the local War Finance
committee and the Treasury de-
partment to meet or exceed its
War bond quota.
2. To show the people of Amer
lea that the decisive factor in
warfare is the ability of the Infan-
try to fight its way in, eliminate
the enemy, and hold the ground.
3. AS the European phase of the
war ends, to focus public attent-
ion on the necessity for a redoubl-
ed war effort to defeat Japan
quickly.
War At It's Grimmest
In their demonstration of In
fantry weapons and the tactics Of
attacking a Japanese pillboX, the
members of Here's Your Infan-
try" all combat veterans them
selves, offer a view of war at its
grimmeSt-the moment when, after
air power and artillery have bat
tered the enemy's front lines and
rear support, the Infantrymen close
in with rifle and bayOnet, clash
with the enemy to kill and drive
onward or die in the attempt.
Look For 10000 Here
Members of the Local War FL
nance comittee are confident that
the sham battle will attract the
largest crowd to the Fair grounds
that has ever been assembled
there. 1t is thought that as many
as 10000 may witness the spectac-
ular exhibit.
Throughout the day, June 2, the
weapons and equipment used by
the Here's Your Infantry" show
will be exhibited on the Square,
giving everyone a chance to exam
inc them closely. Augmenting the
program will be a group of BIZ

POOL ON TUESDAY
Tickets On Sale Today;
Opening Slated Sunday

With the formal opening of Ma
rysVille's beautiful swimming pool
scheduled this coming Sunday,
water will be turned into the pool
Tuesday morning, Frank W. Gallo
way, manager, said today
1t takes two days for the big
pool, containing 375,O00 gallons of
pure drinking water, to fill. The
water is being turned in early so it
can have a chance to warm up
prior to opening day.
Season tickets went on sale this
morning at the Galloway Shoe

were last year:
Family season ticket, $12, plus

eral tax of ST and state tax of Is

tax of IL cents, making a total of
S4.31.
Sponsored children's tickets are
on sale at ASmans Drug store
under the same conditions as in the
past, with the child paying so cents
and sponsoring organizations the
rest. Children who have passed the
sixth grade of school are gener-
ally not eligible for this, although
they are urged to apply if they are
unable to earn their own money
and their parents cannot afford to
buy a full ticket. 1t is the desire of
pool board that every child have
full use of the pool.
The public is urged to buy sea-
son tickets now, because that is by
far the cheapest way to enjoy the
pool all summer long. Money spent
on single-day admission cannot
be applied to season tickets, and
the price of season tickets will re-
main the same all summer long.
In charge of the pool this year
will be Supt. F. c.. Bittikofer, who
will be out there all summer long
to see that everything IS properly
operated.

LEGION POPPY DAY
SET SATURDAY

Saturday, May 26, is the official
American Legion Poppy Day in
Marysville and throughout the
nation.
Poppies will be sold that day by
the American Legion Auxiliary ev-
erywhere, to honor Amercia'S dead
warriors of two World Wars.
The little red flowers will pay
tribute both TO those men who have
died for their country in the pres
ent war and to those who fell u
years ago in France and Belgium.
The money received will be used
to aid the afflicted veterans of
both wars and their families.
The first instance of wearing
poppies in honor of the war dead
occurred in New York City, Nov. g.
1918, when Miss Monia Michael, of
Athens, Ga, who was serving on
the staff of the Y. M. G. Overseas
Headquarters, distributed pOppies
to men attending the 25th confer
ence of that organization. The
poppy was first sold publicly on the
streets of Milwaukee in connection
with the reception of the 32nd Di-
vision in June, 1919, and was sold
by American Legion Posts of that
city Just before Memorial Day
1920, for the purpose of securing
funds for disabled veterans.
At the inspiration fo Miss Mich
ael, the poppy was adopted as the
official memorial flower by the
Georgia department of the Amer
ican Legion in 1920, and in recOgni'
| ton of her services, Miss Michael
was later decorated with the Dis,
| tinguished Service Medal of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
The Auxiliary unit members ol
Union Post, American Legion, Ma
rySville, following its organization
first fashioned the poppies by hanc
and sold them annually the Satur
day before Memorial Day. Finally
as Poppy Day became part o.
national program the American
Legion gave the Auxiliary full
charge. Making the little symbols
began to provide the maximum o.
work for the disabled men in hos
pitalS with a minimum expenditure
for materials, so of later year!
these poppies are purchased, en-
abling the hospitaliZed men to carr
money to help rehabilitate them
selves.
The local unit this year has 8
900 poppies to distribute, and viii
receive gratefully any amount!
contributed.
Miss Hattie Hamilton is chair
man of the committee of Uniol
unit, which will conduct the sale
and the downtown sections as wei
as the residential areas will be can
vasSed.
Remember the official date o
the American Legion AuXiliar.
Poppy Day is May 26!
