lngS IN OlQney history.
The first delegation to be heard
was a group of residents from
outside the city limits north of
Sidney who requested permission
to tie on to the city sewer line
and stated that they were willing
to pay their fair share. After
considerable discussion this was
tabled for further study with an
answer to be given at the next
meeting.
Also presented was a request by
the directors of the Lalonde Hotel
to establish a parking lot at the
corner of End Ave. and Bird st.
S. W. This location is just across
the street from the Elks and lies
in an residential area. Opponents
to this proposal were also heard
and after much discussion this
matter was referred to the board
of adjustment.
Swinging into the regular order
of business Mayor Mercer well
coined the two new councilmen,
Kent Anderson and Gilman Foss.
Paul Ulshafer was elected presi-
dent of the council succeeding

How the poppy became the
memorial flower for Americas
war dead was described by Mrs.
Nettie Olson, Historian of Sidney
Unit No. IL of the Am. Leg. Aux
iliary, as the Unit prepared for
the annual observance of Poppy
Day here May %. She described
how the little red flowers have
been worn for forty years in honor
of those who gave their lives in
the nations defense.
1.-The memorial poppy is a crepe
paper replica of the wild European
poppy which somehow survived
and bloomed amid the devastation
of World War / battle front in
France and Belgium" Mrs. Nettie
Olson explained. "As the entrench-
ed battle front in that war re-
manned in the same locality for
months and years, the ground
was churned by shells and nearly
all vegetation blasted away. The
poppy was the only flower that

HOW POPPY BECAME The
NATIONAL MEMORIAL FLOWER

seemed able to bloom in profus-
ion under this condition"
Soldiers noticed the poppy as
it grew in the raw earth of the
battle cemeteries providing the
only floral tribute for the war
dead. A soldier-poet wrote about
it:
"In Flanders Fields the pop
pies blow Between the crosses
row on row -. :"
The perfect little poem winged
its way around the world bringing
the vision of the poppy as the
flower of the war dead to the
English-speaking people every
where. First memorial peoples
were worn in this country at the
time of the Armistice, and again
the following spring when re-
turning troops marched in victory
parades. Among the first Official
actions of the newly formed Amer
lean Legion and American Auxil-
larry was adoption of the poppy as
the memorial flower.

Only the first three places in the
relay qualify.
Sidney is the defending cham
pion winning this meet for the
past three years. In addition the
Eagles have Won State Class A
top honors for the last two years.
Thus far in the 1859 season the
locals are undefeated in four
Montana meets. They also entered
a meet at Dickinson, N. Oak, with
part of their squad and placed
second.
Head Coach Toby Kangas anc
his assistants Don Shading anc
John Grimstad expect to take {

Tip Of Bonnet
ToSafetyFriends
BY Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant

A tip of our Motor Maids
bonnet and big bouquets to a
number of our favorite people
folks around the country who
are doing an excellent job of max
ing driving both fun and safe.
In Kansas, the State Highway
Commission reduced left4road-
at-curve fatal motor vehicle ac-
cidents in a years time by 4S
per cent-a saving of q lives,
by changing signs along the
highway. Now, instead of the
driver having to hunt for them
the signs are larger, the color
is different and more reflective
material is used.
In metropolitan Detroit, both
the Detroit Traffic Court and the
suburban Dearborn Municipal
Court recently fined drivers for
splashing pedestrians.
In Hillsdale, N. Y, a woman
driver sent this note to State
Motor Vehicle Commissioners
Joseph p. Kelly, enclosing her
operators license which would
have. been valid FOG. a,aetkex- year.
Having reached the age OF 81
with a perfect record of safe
driving, it occurs to me that 1t
would be a nice gesture to turn
in nv license and retire from
driving a car, voluntarily, before
/ might become a menace TO Ire
on the highway"
And in AIpena, Michigan, an
other 8I-year-old surrendered
his license after As years of driv-
ing without an accident or ticket.
81 can't drive as well as ! should,
so I'm quitting before | hurt
somebody" ne wrote officials.
In Milford, Michigan, the
White Lake Township Police
Department has inaugurated the
thoughtful policy of issuing
courtesy citation tickets instead
of regular violation tickets for
minor first offenses. In this re-
creational area, Chief Of Police
Andy Plano and Ot1cer Lou
MARSH report the citations are
well accepted and are making q
big impression on drivers With
Out causing hard feelings to-
ward the department.

Mr.. Wolf said he has no
apologies for having his wife

Immediately after the election"
Mr.. Wolf said he and his
wife have always been a team"
and that "she is earning every
penny Of what She is being

IT don't believe a good, eff
feetive working team should
have to split up just because
one of them got elected to Con-
gress," Wolf said.
Mr.. Carter said there might
be some adverse reaction to the
news of his sons 1,000-a-
year, after classes job but
that
"You know I'm a fighter.
Therell be no changes, It's
right"
He said Mrs. Benona Young
of Bloomfield, Iowa, a District
committeewoman for more
than Is years, called last night
to offer her support.
"She's for u.s." he said. "She
knows my son."
Mr.. Carter added in an in
terview that Il couldn't hire
anyone at any price to fill his
shoes"
He said his son in a good
research man, handles public
relations for him and makes a
radio report to the Iowa con-
gressional district once week.
Hes fully qualified for the
Job" Mr.. Carter said.
He said he went over IS APP
plications for the post and
found his son had the best
qualifications.
Mr.. Carter said perhaps it
was hard to explain but young
Steve is qualified for this posi-
ton. Our relationship always
has been so close" he said.
HE 'knows my feelings and |
thinks like I do"
