Faced with a heavier burden
If service to disabled veterans
and their dependents than ever
before in the organizations his
torv, the Veterans Of Foreign
Wars Auxiliary 1878, will hold
it's 26th annual Buddy Poppy
sale on the streets of Whining
ton. Saturday, November 8.
In 1922 the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars became the first
veteran organization to sponsor
the sale of peoples on a nation
wide scale. In 1924 the V. F. w.,
registered the name of Buddy
Poppy" with the United States
patent office.
While the v. F. W. "Buddy
Poppy" is now a familiar me,
mortal emblem to the general
public, many people still do not
know the full story of the little
red flower : why it is sold, etc.
Here are some OF the ques.
ons most frequently ked
bout the Buddy Poppy cam
,agin and the answers to those
questions:
Where does the money go?'
Every dime received from the
sale of Buddy Peoples goes for
veterans welfare and service
work. The purposes for which
this money can be spent are
clearly outlined by the National
Bylaws and National Encamp'
ment Action as follows:
The aid, relief and comfort OF
needy veterans and men serving
with the armed forces, their de-
pendents, widows and orphans:
maintenance and expansion Of
the WV, National Home;
hospital or individual assistance
and entertainment for needy
veterans and service patients
and their dependents; rehabili-
tation, welfare and service
work, including liason service
with the Veterans Admin
stration; necessary expenses for
military funerals of deceased
members and the acquisition,
improvement, maintenance OF
burial plots and decoration OF
graves of veterans and service
men. Buddy Poppy funds can be
diverted to no other uses.
How is the money divided?
One cent from sale of each
poppy goes to operation and
maintenance of the V.F.W. Ma
tional Home, Eaton Rapids,
Mich, one and one-half cents
goes to National Service d
Welfare Fund; one cent to de-
partment service and welt a r e
fund. All proceeds above tn e
three and one-half cents, plus
the cost of labor, materials and
transportation go for veteran
service work in this community.
Buddy Poppies are made by
disabled veterans in the hospi-
tails and needy veterans work.
ing under V.F.W. supervision.
They are paid for their work
and this money they earn in this
way supplements their meager
incomes.

How well do we get along with

Setting Up Life Goals
Having thus discovered our in

Our sights should be set on life

knock down the goals one by one

must remember that the chief diff
ference between an unsuccessful
and a successful person is not one
of knowing, but of doing.

of us are connected only with the

prayer, music and meditation, WE
are missing the very thing tina

Real success in life will depend
much on how we feel inside abou

Byrd Supports Part
OF Price Program
By the Associated Press

Senator Byrd, Democrat, OF Vir-
ginia said yesterday he will support
some Of President Truman's pro-
posals for price controls and will
oppose others.
Some of the recommendations
can be adopted safely" Senator
Byrd said in an interview. These
include restoring consumer credit
controls, regulation of speculative
trading on the commodity ex-
changes, and control of exports"
Other suggested controls, he
added, would mean "re-established
war controls of our economy two
years after the war"
Senator Byrd said controls over
prices and ALLEGATIONS of materials
would have IAN immediate and di-
rect bearing" on Federal expenses.
The OPA alone employed $4,000
when it was at its peak, he con-
tinued, and in addition there were
1T other boards, bureaus and COM
missions regulating business econo-
my during the period of war con-
troll.
Many. if not most, of these agen-
cies would have to be re-established
to carry out the Presidents recon-
mendations," Senator Byrd said.
"But the cost would be incon-
sequential as compared to the in
jury of our free enterprise system.
