Church, Delta, Utah do hereby declare Friday, May 14 as Official Poppy Day. 7ear a Poppy-America's Poppy-America's Silent Tribute to Heroes As we each receive our Poppy from an American Legion Auxiliary representative, let us think of the disabled veteran in a hospital or convalescent workshop who has fashioned the little blood flower. Think of the brave American Boys who lie beneath the waving poppies in France. Remember that the funds contributed contri-buted on Poppy Day constitute the largest source of revenue for the rehabilitation and child welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary. Let us pin on our Poppy, Friday, May 14 with pride and pay tribute to our dead of the two World Wars and the Korean conflict. Once a year we wear a poppy to express the feeling of reverence that is always in our hearts for the men who died for America in the two World Wars. The poppy is their flower. It grew on the battle fields in France and Belguim where so many fought and died; it grew over their fresh graves the one touch of beauty and life in all the region of destruction and death known as the front. Nothing can symbolize our remembrance of the sacrifices of the World War dead in so fitting a way as the wearing of the poppy. To many, the wars are over but the thousands behind white hospital hospi-tal walls, they of the crippled hands and legs and broken bodies, are still in battle the battle to live. The poppies which we will wear on Poppy Day are not, of course, natural flowers from the battle fields. They are flowers which have greater significance than any nature na-ture could produce. They have been made in hospitals and work rooms where suffering Is still going on. They have bloomed under hands of men disabled in war. The disabled veterans who make the poppies derive double benefit from the work. First, it gives them employment their only chance to help support themselves and families. fam-ilies. With strength and health gone they cannot do regular work, but they can make poppies. Even In their hospital beds they can do this work, earning money for each flower they make. Second, the work is of real value in aiding their recovery, occupying hands and minds, breaking the tedium of long Idleness, and restoring spirits crushed crush-ed by hopelessness. ALL contributions given to American Amer-ican Legion Auxiliary poppy workers work-ers go entirely to aid needy war veterans, and children of veterans. In remembrance of America's heroic dead and in helpfulness to her living disabled and dependents wear a Poppy on Poppy Day. I "SERVING Volume 55 Number 45 Tk 7, By INEZ RIDING Several weeks ago, Marilyn Stoddard Stod-dard stopped me at the Post Office and said that she had an article she thought that I would be interested inter-ested in. The article "Miracle of the Talking Leaves" had been printed in the Grit Magazine. The artic prored to be as interesting inter-esting to me as Marilyn thought it would. The talking leares turned out to be printed pages of paper and the complete article was on Sequoyah, a halfbreed Cherokee who developed an alphabet for the Cherokee Indians. Within a year, after the Principal People had placed their stamp of approval on Sequoyah's alphabet, Cherokees had passed from a state of having no written language at all to a high degree of literacy. Thanks, Marilyn. I did enjoy the article. It's possible that I had heard of Sequoyah earlier in life and had forgotten him, because when I mentioned to Kristine that I had an article that I wanted her to read and told her very briefly what it was about, she aiready knew, In Mr. Elden Nielson's fifth grade class at Delta Elementary Sequo yah had been discussed. Mr. Nielson is a very good teach er. He poses questions that need thinking about to his fifth grade students. He calls his students attention at-tention to many things that I never knew existed when I was in the fifth grade.

Water Conservancy District Petition Being Circulated Attorney Thorpe Waddingham, legal counsel for the Millard County Coun-ty Water Conservancy District is preparing a petition for signatures of Millard County property owners petitioning the District Court in Provo to include Millard County as a part of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District. Inclusion of Millard in the master conservancy district will, in the opinion of the directors of the Millard County Con servancy District, enhance the county's chances of receiving a portion por-tion of the water made available in the initial phase of the Central Utah Project. Millard County was originally scheduled in the ultimate phase of the Central Utah Project. Wallace Jeffery, President of the Millard County Conservancy Dist. is in charge of circulating the petition. peti-tion. Three groups of taxpayers are eligible to sign the petition. These groups are: 1) Property owners in incorporated areas whose property Is valued at $300 or more, 2 owners own-ers of non-irrigated lands valued at $300 or more, (3) owners of irrigated irri-gated lands valued at $300 or more. "Lands" mean land and improvements improve-ments thereon. Property held in joint ownership by a husband and wife and valued at $600 or more makes both the husband and wife eligible to sign the petition. Because of the time factor involved, in-volved, Mr. Jeffery is urging all pro perty owners to keep their 19C5 tax evaluation notices, so that legal descriptions of irrigated and range lands will be readily available. Attorney Waddingham emphasizes empha-sizes that the mill property tax required if Millard County becomes a part of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District will be off-set by the fact that the directors do not anticipate continuing the levy presently required to operate the MAYOR CHURCH (c) and Delta Second Ward Boy Scouts are working to disengage a heavy piece of wire.
