Memorial Poppy Brought Into Being
BY Inspiration of Flanders Fields

''In Flanders Fields the pop
pies blow"-and so the flower
that precipitated one war be-
came the symbol of another and,
with Memorial Day, of all those
who have died in war.
The poppy was first associat-
ed with war in 1840-in the
form of opium. The fireworks
started when the Chinese clamp
ed down on Great Britain's
smuggling of opium to China.
Britain took the opium issue
as an excuse for declaring war.
But when the Opium War end
ed in 1842, the issue was left
unsettled while Britain concen-
trated on exacting trading priv
ileges-and economic power
from the Chinese.
Three-quarters of a century
later, the poppy became a SYM
boil of World War /.
In 1918, when a YMCA staff
worker named Moina Michael
read the poem about Flanders
Field, a U. S. military cemetery
in Europe, she conceived the
idea of wearing poppy in
memory of those soldiers who
had died in World War |.
Miss Michael persuaded the
American Legion to adopt the

Periodic Checkups
Urged By Council
For State Drivers

Can your car pass the VSC
test?
THE VSC is not a test for
horsepower or miles per gallon.
It's a test for mechanical fitness
"a Vehicle Safety Check. If
your car can't pass it, you're
in trouble" said George T.Lyon,
Jr., vice president for New Cas-
tie County of the Delaware
Safety Council.
The Council, emphasizing ve-
hicle maintenance in its spring
educational program, is urging
motorists to find out what kind
of mechanical condition their
cars are in. The Council is also
stressing the drivers moral re-
sponsibility for his own safety
and the safety of others.
Mr.. Lyon warned drivers that
safety is more than paint deep.
The wise driver will accent per-
formance as well as appearance
in caring for his vehicle"
''In my opinion, the old brok-
en-down jalopies aren't the
worst menace on the road" he
said. "It seems to me that the
car that is shiny and well cared
for on the outside but neglected
on the inside can be the most
dangerous type of unsafe ve'
hicle. It's a moving BOBBY
trap"
Smyrna times., 1960-05-26

He explained that the old
jalopy is so obviously in need
of repair that drivers of other
cars will keep a safe distance
from it and the driver may
compensate by driving more
carefully. But they expect a
sleek, will-groomed car to be in
good mechanical shape, so they
don't anticipate this sort of
danger from it.
"Any car owner can easily
detect obvious wear or damage
to brakes, windshield wipers,
and tires" MIR. Lyon said. "But
it takes a careful check by a
competent mechanic to uncover
more deep-seated trouble"
1t is essential for the safety
of every driver and his passeng-
ers-and the safety of other mo-
toriStS-that every car on the
highways have dependable brak-
es, ready for quick stopping if
an emergency arises, he said.
If there is any doubt at all
about the condition of the brake
lining, the wheels should be re-
for an inspection of the
brake lining by mechanic.
Similarly it is essential that
the steering be maintained in
good condition through periodic
front-end check-ups.
"Give your car the VSC be-
fore summer, when you'll be
more miles than at 9th
er seasons" he suggested.

PurochiuI Pupils
Bus Rides OKd
In Connecticut

HARTFORD, Conn, June Il
(AP).-The Connecticut Su.
preme Court of Errors today
upheld a State law letting
parochial school pupils ride in
public school buses.
The case involved pupils in
a Roman Catholic school. Un-
der the law, they have been
transported in buses on funds
provided Sy the town of New
ton since one month after the
school opened in September
1858.
The court ruled that this
phase of the law was consti-
tutional.
However, it said that use OF
money from the Connecticut
School Fund for this purpose
is unconstitutional.
This meant little in the
specific case. The fund pro-
vides little, if any, money to
the towns general fund. which
has been used to pay the bus
bill.
Income from the school fund,
about $4,000 last year, is de-
posted in the States general
fund and credited to the State
Education Department. The
ruling could affect the States
bookkeeping on the fund.

Meaningless Slogans
Senator Kennedy said the
American delegation headed BY
Mr.. Eisenhower went to the
Paris summit meeting with nc
fresh ideas" and only "obso.
lete policies and meaningless.
slogans.
Our conferees have consist
emily gone to the international
bargaining table ill-staffed, ILL
prepared and ill-advised," he
said. Coordinate efforts
with all agencies and al
allies-have faltered without
strong direction from the top
and strong direction from the
top has often faltered because
the President has not beer
kept fully informed"
Because of this, the Massa-
chusettS Senator said it was
fortunate that the violent
manner in which the Soviets
carried out their determination
to wreck the summit made it
clear to the world that the
blame for the collapse of the
conference rests on Mr.. Khru-
shchev."
He added:
"Our allies and our own
people had been misled into
believing there was some point
to holding a summit confer
ence-that we were prepared
to say more than what changes
in the status quo we would not
accept-that by a miracle of
personal charm and public re-
lations the Russians could be
cajoled into yielding some of
their hard-won positions of
strength-that we had some
conception of alternative set
Elements that were both ac-
ceptable to us and possibly
acceptable to the Soviets.
But the truth of the matter
is that we were not prepared
for any such negotiations
that there was no real success
which the summit could have
achieved"
Hits at Nixon
Senator Kennedy struck back
at Mr.. Nixon's contention that
Mr., Nixon. among the candi-
dates of both parties, is best
qualified by experience and
toughness to negotiate with
Mr.. Khrushchev.
The issue is not who can
best stand up to Khrushchev,
who can best swap threats
and insults-the real issue is
who can best stand up and
summon Americas vast re-
sources to the defense of free
dom against the most dan
gerouS threat it ever faced
he said.
For if the 1860 campaign
should degenerate into a con-
test of who can talk toughest
to Khrushchev-or which party
is the party of war or the
party of appeasement'
then it makes little difference
who the winners are in July
or November-the American
people and the whole free
world will be the losers"

Irunways are not long enough
for the biggest jets.
The Manila crowd was in a
joyous. festive mood.
At one point. early in the
parade, the crowd surged so
close to the car that Philippine
security men jumped out of a
car behind with tear gas guns
at the ready. But they did not
fire and the people jumped
back.
The motorcade progressed
down famed Dewey boulevard,
along the shores of Manila
Bay. through the heart of the
Philippine capitals entertain
ment, trade and financial dis
tricts to the Sprswling, Span
ish-style palace where Mr..
Eisenhower will stay until he
leaves for Formosa at midnight
Thursday.
Small children in the crowd
yelled "Yeh, Ike" a familiar
Filipino form of greeting.
Beads of perspiration formed
on Mr.. Eisenhower's forehead
and ran down his face, which
appeared to grow more ruddy
above the white flower lei an
aide to President Garcia had
hung around his neck on his
arrival.
AS Mr.. Eisenhower's car ap-
preached downtown Manila.
the crowds grew thicker and
iammed closer to the motor
cade.
The Filipinos cheered the
President and even the press
cars following in the rear.
Dozens of bands. most of
them organized on the spur of
the moment, played as Mr..
Eisenhower passed. HostesSeS
in the night club areas of
Dewey Boulevard were lined
up on the sidewalk to wave to
the President.
The motorcade had difficulty
as it moved into the densely
crowded areas of downtown
Manila. Motorcycles and pri-
vate cars attempted to maneu-
yer into position behind the
official cars. Hundreds of BIZ
cycles and motor scooterS
darted in and out, adding to
the confusion.
Security police waved their
riot guns to get the people back.
The crowds were generally or
derly until the car carrying Mr..
Eisenhower approached. Then
they inched forward in waves,
narrowing the path and repeat
edly slowing the presidential
car to a snail's pace.
Meets Mrs. Garcia
Perspirlng freely, the Presi-
dent looked tired but smiled
broadly as he was escorted up
the steps of Malacanang Palace
to meet Mrs. Garcia before re-
tiring to his quarters. His son,
1t. Col. John Eisenhower, and
his wife, Barbara, followed the
President into the palace, where
they are occupying a suite
across the hall from the Presi-
dent.
officials estimated $4,000
persons were in the immediate
airport area where the Eisen-
hover plane stopped.
A small cheer went up as Mr..
Eisenhower came down the
stairs from the plane to be
greeted by Mr.. Garcia. A pres
idential aide placed a white
flower lei around MIR. Eisen-
hower's neck.
Wearing a soft green suit and
a close-fitting white summer
hat, Mr.. Eisenhower's daughter
in-law, Barbara, followed him
out of the plane. She was
greeted enthusiastically by Mr..
Garcia's daughter, Mrs. Linda
Garcia Campos, who was dressed
in a white summer frock in
traditional ankle-length Fill

After a quiet private dinner
tonight, Mr.. Eisenhower will
