WASHINGTON, April "a. -(P)-
OPA Wednesday began an exani-
nation of suit manufa cturers' cost
and production records to find out
whether price regulations would
halt any shipments after May l.
The agency started its study after
an industry spokesman had con-
tended that OPA's maximum aver
age price order would cut off deli.
veries at that time.
Receives Records
OPA received the industry's re-
cords. 1t said it had asked for them
some time ago.
An official of the agency, who
asked to remain anonymous, said
he was "skeptical' about the indus
try claim that the average price
order would interfere with ship
ments to any great extent" He
added, however, that OPA would
make any wanted adjustments"
in the order.
Work On Survey
The agency expects to complets
its survey within the next few days.

The Story Behind
The Legion Poppy

There is a story behind every one
of the little red poppies which the
citizens of Libby will wear in honor
of the war dead on Saturday, Nav
25 Poppy Day.
Each poppy is different and has
its own story, explained Mrs. Mar
shall Warrington, President of Lib
by Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, which is completing pre-
paratiOns for observance of Poppy
Day here.
The poppies have been received
at American Legion headquarters
here from Fort Harrison, Helena,
where they were made by disabled
veterans of both world wars.
"As they are made by hand, no
two of the flowers are exactly a.
like" she said. Some come from
the hands of men who were hurt
% years ago in the battles of the
first world war. Others have been
shaped by young veterans, injured
in Europe or in the Pacific in the
second conflict, who made poppies
this year for the first time. If we
could know the stories of all those
veterans, old and young, they would
make an epic of service and suffer-
ing for the security of America.
Making the pOppies has two i'm
portant benefits for the disabled
veterans" " Mrs Warrington contin-
ued. First, it enables them to earn
money. The American Legion Auxi-
liary pays them for every poppy
they make. To actually earn some
money again is an encouraging ex-
perence for these men, after long
months of helplessness. Most of
them send the money home to their
families.
Second, the work is valuable as
occupational therapy. 1t occupies
their hands and minds and helps
them get we'll
Il hope everyone who puts on
poppy on Poppy Day will look clos
ely at the little flower and think
of the men who make the poppies.
what they have been through and
what they are still enduring be-
cause of their war service. Then it
will be understood that the poppy
is not just machine-made tag, but
a carefully shaped symbol of re-
membrance made by the disabled
in honor of their departed COM
rades."
