Memorial Poppies Help Disabled Vets Memorial poppies ,which will be worn here on Poppy Day, May 24, in honor of the dead of both World Wars, have been re ceived by the Newberry Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary. The little red flowers came from the Veterans’ hospital in Colum bia, where they were made by disabled veterans. The poppies are crepe paper replicas of the wild poppies which grow in France and Bel gium where so many of the 1 battle of both wars were fought. Now they symbolize memory for those who died for America on land, sea and in the air in every part of the world. Each flower is made by hand by a disabled veteran, the paper petals carefully attached to the wire stem and shaped to re semble the blooms with which nature decorated the battlefield graves. The work gives the dis abled men something interesting to do during the long hours 1 of hositalization and convalescence. It occupies their hands and minds, helping them get well. It also enables them to earn money which builds their morale. Last year the veterans received $311,- 879.17 for their poppies. No price will be asked for the flowers but everyone receiving a poppy will be asked to contri bute something for the welfare of the disabled veterans, their families, and the families of those who made the supreme sacrifice. The poppy day con tribution not only repays the men for their work but also makes possible the Legion Aux iliary’s extensive rehabilitation and child welfare work. Contributed.
