Show Volunteer Corps Will Sellftppies Call for volunteers to serve in the American Legion Auxiliary's Poppy Day force is being enthusiastically en-thusiastically answered by the young women of Milford, Mrs. ( Jessie Frazier, poppy chairman of ithe Milford Auxiliary unit, an-j an-j nounces. j Organization of the workers who will distribute the memorial ' poppies throughout the city on i Poppy Day, May 25, is proceeding rapidly. The women who are offering of-fering their services are being assigned to teams, each of which has a definite part of the city to ' supply with the little red flowers. I Working in relays, they will be on j the streets throughout the day. j "The response to the call for ! Poppy day workers is very grati- fying", says Mrs. Frazier. "It I shows that the spirit of patriotism patriot-ism is very much alive in the women wo-men of Milford. All will serve as unpaid volunteers, every penny of the money contributed for the poppies pop-pies going to the Legion and Auxr iliary activities for the disabled veterans and dependent families of veterans. "It is a real sacrifice for many of these women to serve on Poppy Day. They must leave their homes and put in hours of hard, unaccustomed work. Their only reward will be to see the poppies blooming on every coat in tribute to the nation's heroic dead and to feel their coin boxes grow heavy with contributi ons for the war's living victims. I am sure everyone every-one in Milford will appreciate what they are doing and will respond re-spond gladly to their appeal tjo wear a poppy," she added. tut |
