Show Legion Auxiliary sets Saturday as Poppy Sale day In Flanders Fields the poppies pop-pies blow Between the crosses, row on row. This mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly. Scarce heard amidst the guns below Saturday, May 24 has been proclaimed as 19B9 Poppy Day by the American Legion Auxiliary, Aux-iliary, the day set apart to honor those who died and who live as disabled veterans of World Wars of this nation. Mrs. J. H. Christensen has been chosen to have charge of Poppy Sales on that day for the Auxiliary of Parowan Post No. 20, American Legion. She says: By Wearing a Poppy on that day each American can honor the sacrifices made by uir servicemen while also assisting as-sisting the living. Funds from the sale of the little red flowers flow-ers goes toward rehabilitating the surviving hospitalized veterans of our conflicts and their families. Members of the Parowan Auxiliary Unit will canvas the homes in the unit on Saturday, Sat-urday, offering for sale the little red flower which is the token of Poppy Day. Mrs Christensen urges a generouf response to the drive. |
