Poppy Day To Be Observed Saturday The spirit of service and sacrifice for the nation, which enabled America to put forth its great World War effort and which is needed to meet the difficulties to today, is symbolized in the little red memorial poppy, said Ruth Harris, poppy chairman of Duchesne Post No. 22, Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, today as the Unit continued its preparations for the observance of Poppy Day here this Saturday. "The Poppy stands for the highest conceivable type of service and sacrifice" Ruth Harris continued, service that demands the sacrifice of life. The bright little flower recalls the days when every American was giving his energy and means to the nation and when life itself was not conside. ad too much to give for America. We of the Auxiliary will be on the streets all day Saturday with baskets of poppies which we will offer to be worn in honor of the World War dead. In exchange we will ask contributions for the welfare of the disabled veterans in need, their families and the dependents of those who have died. We hope that our poppies will reawaken the spirit of the men who gave their all in the countrys defense and help inspire Americans to the service and sacrifice that our country needs today. thru-oPoppies will be distributed the city Saturday by volunteer workers from the Auxiliary Unit. In exchange for the little flowers contributions of remembrance, will be asked for the Legion and Auxiliary welfare program. The dispoppies have been made by abled World War veterans at the Veterans Hospital, who have been, work given employment in the and spring. during the winter More than 10,000,000 poppies are the expected to be distributed by obnation-wid- e the in Auxiliary servance of Poppy Day. ut $2.00 if Ccf The Daughters of the Pioneers, Theodore Chapter, met at the home of Mrs. G.
