"First, let me say that every penny of the money paid for poppies pop-pies goes into the rehabilitation and welfare work of the American Ameri-can Legion and auxiliary, and because this work is performed by volunteers, it goes a very long way. "Disabled veterans and children child-ren left fatherless by war. are the special concern of the Legion and Auxiliary. It is for them the poppy pop-py dimes and dollars are given, not so much for their material needs as for their human needs." |
