Lest We Forget

On Nav 4th most of us will be asked to buy a poppy
for "Poppv Dav" but do we all know the signlflgance u
this memorial The idea of the poppy as a memorial =
rhe American dead of World War | sprang from the aoun-
dance of these little flowers in the ravaged fleld OF FRANCE
where so many American boys are buried.
Wa poems and songs were written WIN sp ia 'e &c
nifiqance pointed at the peoples and soon soiaiers u
many nations came to look upon the poppy as a nvne
symbol of the sacrifices made by dead comrades lnSn
in the spring of 1919 during the homecoming OF an AMY
d;rie;on in Wisconsin a coffee and d~oughnut booth was
decorated with crepe paper poppies. faSseiS-o! uesa
takino the peoples from the decoration and leaving oona-
IRONS on the counter of the booth IN exchange - LIZ
flowers and in remembrance OF those VINO NAV ae
cunreme sacrifice. One of the women, Mrs. Mary Namely,
who had helped decorate the booth came up with inc
idea that distributing peoples on the streets at n un'
of Memorial Day would be an excellent way Ior he ninI I-
r;can 7 eoion to raise badly needed funds TOT sefVlec WI
among recently returned veterans.
In 1920 The American Legion adopted the poppy as
its memorial flower. BY 1924 the poppy program was
turned over to the Womens AUXILIARY oi ue
7 eoion and it is in their hands that 1t rests today:
AS a tribute to the dead of two World wars we
wear the red poppy but also as a tribute TO the hvlns e
+be disabled veterans of our wars. theirs IS the Woik VI

Motifs GIN Holdings
Total 100000 Shares

FLINT, Mich. (AP).-When
General Motors announced 1t
mailed a proxy statement to
stockholders last week, the
name of Charles S. Mott of
Flint popped up again.
This isn't unusual when GIN
is in the news. Mr.. Mott is the
giant auto firms largest stock
holder with 100000 shares in
his own name. He also holds
679, 300 shares as trustee for
his wife and two children.
Mr.. Mott acquired his GIN
stock in the days before Fed
eral income taxes. He has
never sold any and has nu-
merous other interests. So there
has been considerable Specula-
tion as to the extent of his
wealth, with estimates topping
500 million.
Mr.. Mott, however, frowns
on this sort of talk. 1T isn't
how much a man has, but
what he does with it that
counts" the tall, slender,
bushy- -browed autom otive
pioneer once said.
Mr.. Mott built his fortune
making axle assemblies and
components for the budding
auto industry, then selling out
for GIN stock.
But he uses his fortune for
the benefit of Flint.
The Mott Foundation, worth
millions itself, has distributed
millions of dollars for youth
and adult education, for q
health and safety program di-
rected at both the schools and
community of Mr.. Motifs home
city, and facilities for the.
training Of teachers in eco
.nomics.
He has given land and money
for a junior college, for the
University of Michigan's Flint
branch and several other struc-
lures. A lot Of Mr.. Motifs
money went into financing of
the Mackinac Bridge. which
spans the Straits OF Mackinac
between Michigan's two penin-
sulas.
But the S4-year-old indus
trialist doesn't just give money.
In 1858, Flint was hit by a
devastating tornado. More than
100 persons were killed. Volun-
teers were sought to help re-
build leveled homes. Mr.. Mott.
then "a years old, turned up
in overalls, saving and mailing
siding. He had come, unan-
nounced, and carrying his own
tools.
Its what every good neigh
