Proclamation
I, C. K. Epting, mayor of the city
of McCormick, remembering the
fine young men of our country who
were sent forth in the years of
1917 and 1918, many of whom went
out from our city, to defend the
honor and ideals of our nation on
the battlefields of the world’s most
terrible war, and who died in the
heroic performance of the duty of
the nation assigned to them, and
deeming it fitting that the citi
zens. of this efty should pay honoi
to their memory by wearing the
flower among, whose bright red
blossoms many of them died, dc
hereby proclaim Saturday, May 27
“Poppy Day.”
I urge that this day be observ
ed by all patriotic citizens of Mc
Cormick by wearing the memoria
poppy made by the disabled veter
ans which will be offered on the
streets of the city by the women
of the American Legion Auxiliary
I further urge that the citizens oi
McCormick who gave so gallantly
of Jiheir services and so liberally o
their wealth during the war, think
on this day of those who gavi
health and strength, and whe:
purchasing a poppy give as lib
erally as their means will allow t
help lighten the burdens for tho3(
who are still paying in sufferin
and poverty the price of our glori
ous victory.
