Poppies Made By Disabled War
Vets To Be Sold Here On May 27
Thirty-six Senior Are Graduated
At Mt. Cory-Rawson High School
Europe during both World ars,
veterans become highly skilled in the
work and can produce the memorial
flowers with amazing rapidity.
“Veterans enjoy the work and be
ing gainfully employed helps give
them a wholesome mental attitude
which promotes recovery.
“Being hand-made, each of he aux
iliary’s poppies is slightly different,
varying with the maker's skill. At
one time the auxiliary used silk pop
pies, but crepe paper flowers later
were adopted because they provide
'more interesting work for the vet
erans and can be made at a mini
mum cost of materials.
“The men who make the flowers
are the only persons paid for work
in the auxiliary’s poppy daj’ pro
gram. Buy one—wear one—for re
membrance.”
