The Clerk should keep a book record of the Petty Cash Fund,

THANK YOU
for waiting for delivery Of your
NEW CHEVROLET
We are doing our best to see thof you
get your new car as quickly as possible

We want to thank OUT customers and pro-
speefive customers for your friendly
patience while awaiting your new
Chevrolefs.
We know II is a hardship to wait for
needed transportation; but we believe
you will understand that we, and
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as
you are to obtain them. Unfortunately,
production 50 far this yea is far under
expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division
sums up the sitvaiion thus:
"Even though our rate Of production
normally exceeds that Of any other
manufacturer, we have been obIe to
build, up to July !, only 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
ihat dofe in 1941. Production is still
far below normal, because Of fire.
qvenf shortages Of essential mate
rials and parts. Strike utter strike at the
pIonts Of our svppIiers hos seriously
impeded Dur progress toward full
production, and the cumulative
effect severely hampers every manu-
featuring and assembly plant. In
June we were able to build only
1917 per cent as many cars as we
produced in the same month in
l941."
While production is restricted, so-in
proporiion-are shipments Of cars to Us.
As production increases, we are assured
Of getting ovr propertionais share Of the
iosaI-ond as quickly as cars are received,
We will speed deliveries to our customers.

Poppy, Emblem Of
War Sacrifice,
On Sale May rs

There is a beautiful and appeal
ing story of the poppy, the flow
er that since First World War
days has come to be so meaning.
full to Americans in their devo-
ton to the departed, who made
supreme sacrifice in the two
World Wars.
Mrs. Anne McDougaIl, chair
man of the Legion Auxiliary pop
py sales committee of Browning,
has submitted the following. in
stressing the need of patronage
on Poppy Day, May rs:
Fashioned by disabled veter-
ans of both wars, who are under
disqualification at Fl. Harrison,
these little peoples imply much.
As they are made by hand, no
two flowers are exactly alike, she
said Some come from the hands
Of men who we're hurt % years
ago in the battles of the first
world war. Others have been
shaped by young veterans, injur-
ed in Europe or in the Pacific in
the second conflict, who made
peoples this year for the first
time. l I we could know the
stories of all those veterans, old
and young. they would make an
epic of service and suffering for
the security of America.
Making the peoples has two
important benefits for the dis.
abled veteran.
First, it enables them to earn
money. The American Legion
Auxiliary pays them for every
poppy they make. To actually
earn some money again is an en-
couraging experience for these
men, after long months of help
lessness. Most of them send the
money home TO their families.
Second. the work is valuable
as occupational therapy. 1t &C.
cupiea their hands and minds and
helps them get well.
hope everyone who puts on a
poppy on Poppy Day will look
closely at the little flower and
think of the men who make the
peoples, what they have been
through and what they are still
enduring because of their war
service. Then it will be under
stood that the poppy is not just d
machine-made tag, but a care
fully shaped symbol of remem.
brance made Dy the disabled in
honor Of their departed comrades
