POPPY DAY TO BE
OBSERVED HERE ON
SATURDAY,, MAY "a

"Help and hope is the meaning
of the memorial poppy to those who
are paying the human cost of our
world war victories" Mrs. Margaret
Wall, chairman Of the Mcdowell
unit of che American Legion Aux
iiary. stated today as the Auxiliary
continued Preparations for the an
nual observance of Poppy Day, May
"a.
"All the money contributed by
those who wear poppies in memory
Of the war dead goes to aid the
wars living victims, the disabled
veterans, their families and the
families of the dead," she explain
ed. "The dimes, quarters and dol
lars dropped into the contribution
boxes of the volunteer poppy work
ers are the principal source of
support for the continuous reha-
bilitation and child welfare work of
the Auxiliary.
"The Government does much for
the disabled but the Government
cannot do everything. There are
many veterans and veterans fam
lilies which do not come within the
legal provisions for compensation.
There are many others whose COM
pensation is too meager to meet
their needs. There are many fields
of service into which official agen-
cies cannot reach and there the
Auxiliary goes with aid made pos
slble by the poppy contributions.
"These are our disabled veterans
and dependent families. Their sac
rifices were made in our defense.
Poppy Day gives US all an oppor-
tunity to do something for them
ourselves, to help them a. little as
they pay in suffering and hardships
for our war Victories: The human
cost Of war is so unequally divided
among us-sonae paying so bitterly
while most of us pay little or moth
ing. Buying and wearing a poppy
shows that we,. at least recognize
and are grateful for their sacri-
fees"
