Show Poppy Day Tomorrow Saturday will be Poppy Day in American Fork, we all will be called upon to wear the memorial flower of the World War dead and make i contributions for the welfare of those who sacrificed health and strength as part of the price of the nation's World War victory. I am sure that all veterans of the war and all other patriotic citizens will wear the symbolic little flower and will contribute as liberally as then-means then-means permit for the work of mercy and relief the poppy makes possible. Poppy Day contributions are used by The American Legion and Auxiliary Auxil-iary to help the disabled veterans in the hospitals, to help their families at home, to aid children left without with-out a father's support because of the war, and in all phases of Legion and Auxiliary work for the war's living victims. Every penny is made to serve effectively for the purposes for which it is donated under the administration ad-ministration of the Legion and Auxiliary's Aux-iliary's volunteer workers. The poppies will be distributed by the women of the Auxiliary, the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the men of the Legion. They will work without compensation of any kind, giving their time and efforts gladly to honor the dead and serve the living. I hope we all will respond re-spond to them in the same spirit when they offer the poppies on the streets tomorrow. o |
