POPPY SALE - Mrs. Willard
Peterson, national poppy chairman,
said: The disabled veterans need
the healthful, recreational and f.
nancial assistance which making
the poppies gives to them; but
most of all America needs to be
reminded of the sacrifice made for.
its security as signified by the pop
py.
Failure of the public to show its
appreciation for such sacrifice is
dangerous sign of loss of integ-
rity and belief in our way of life.
To the American Legion Auxiliary
members it is a privileged oppOr-
tunity to offer all Americans the
means of showing they remember
and are grateful.
The little red crepe paper flow
ers will be offered to the public
May 19, 20 and 21. Mrs. John Long
botham of Milford is Department
Poppy Chairman.
Proceeds from the poppy pro-
gram is used for the many needs
of the veterans and their families,
to give aid to the many underpriv-
ileged children and contributes to
the activities and needs of our
Veterans Administration Hospi-
tails.
