SATURDAY SET
/ AS POPPY DAY
American Legion Auxiliary to
Distribute Veteran-Made
Flowers Here
HONOR WAR DEAD

Poppies by the thousands are
coming from the skilled fingers of
disabled war veterans in prepara-
tion for Poppy Day, May 2S, Mrs.
Clay Bailey, Poppy Chairman of
David c. Harrison Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary, an
nounced today. Mrs. Bailey is di-
recting arrangements for the OBJ
servance of Poppy Day here, when
the veteran-made poppies will be
worn to honor the dead of both
world wars and to aid the disabled
and the children of veterans. 1T
is very interesting the way a vet
eran makes a poppy, taking petals
of crepe paper and a stem of wire
and shaping them into a very at
tractive replica of the old poppies
which grew on the battle fields and
around the graves in Europe dur
ing both wars. Many veterans be-
come very skillful in the work and
can produce the memorial flowers
with amazing rapidity. They en-
joy the work, and being gainfully
employed helps give them a whole
some mental attitude which pro-
notes recovery. Being handmade
each of the Auxiliary's poppies is
different, varying with the
makers skill. At one time the
Auxiliary used silk poppies, but the
crepe paper flowers were adopted
because they provide more inter-
esting work for the veterans and
can be made at a minimum cost
for materials. Millions already
have been made for this years sale
in hospitals and works h o p
throughout the country and by the
time Poppy Day arrives more
