OTHERS’ VIEWS
URGES POPPY SALES.
To the Editor:
As Poppy Day approaches. May 25
(Saturday), will you permit me to call
attention, through your columns, to
thle real significance of the symbol of
the Poppy?
Back in the dark days of 1918 when
our boys went into a strange land
and among strange people—.to face
the greatest ordeal of their lives—l
wonder how they felt towards those
of us who stayed behind and cheer
ed them on? 1 imagine they felt that
we were a bulwark upon which they
could always depend regardless of the
outcome of this terrible adventure.
That helped. They knew wc were ex
pecting great things of them and they
could not fail. They did not fail. We
pledged ourselves to stand ‘by and we
must not fail.
When those lemaining—sick and
maimed and heartbroken) over the
comrades leit on the battle field—met
in Paris to form themselves into a
Legion—with the determination to
carryoin—do yo uwonder they called
themselves the American Legion. The
word that typefies the homeland and
haven where they longed to lay down
their weary burden and rest?
Seventeen years have elapsed since
these boys came trudging back from
a veritable hell, broken and spent in
body and spirit to gather up the
threads of life and start out again. An
appalling number of these men are in
our hospitals and are receiving such
aid as the government can give. They
are dying at the rate of 15 per day.
The time grows short in which we
can help. \
It has been my privilege to spend
some time in Asheville within the last
several years and I have visited Oteen
Hospital for Tubercular ex-service
men. These boys get the very best
hospitalization and medical attention
is possible to secure. I am sure this
is the case in all government hos
pitals.
The little white crosses that dot the
poppy field of France cry out to us
“Save our buddies." Can we resist this
appeal from beyond the grave? They
are gone and there is nothing we can
do for them, but we can mother then
orphans. sustain their widows and
lend a helping hand to their buddies.
"In Memoriam." So the poppy was
selected as the symbol with which and
by which we remember our beloved
dead and render aid to those broken
in body and spirit.
In the American Legion and the
American Legion Auxiliary organized
under the very shadows of the little
white crosses, we are privileged to
render such aid as we will. The work
of the Legion and its Auxiliary is a
memorial to the boys who made the
supreme sacrifice and it is of such
magnitude that we can scarcely grasp
the significance.
At Oteen. The American, Legion
Auxiliary has employed a lady, who
as far as it is possible takes the place
of Mother to these poor sick boys.
She shops for them—.buying cigar
ettes, writing paper, stamps, night
shirts, soft pillows, robes (most of
these boys are bed patients) etc. She
writes their letters when they are too
sick to do so for themselves. She
reads the Bible to them. She makett
contact often with families, long since
broken. She sends for the Mother or
the wife—or other relative to come
and sit beside their dying boy during
his last moments and she, herself,
standing by. I have seen these boys
die at Oteen and I have* seen their
loved ones arrive to say the last Good
Bye. who can say that this is not a
Magnlficient Gesture? All of this
made possible by the funds received
from the sale of the little red poppy,
to tjie loyal public, as they wear it.
remembering at the same time the
ones beneath the poppy covered Flan
ders field. One feels moved to gather
their poor weak bodies and sick souls,
them all in our arms and mother
and it is through the American Le
gion Auxiliary that we find expres
sion to this feeling.
These poppies are mad** by the ex
service men in hospitals, except in
the tubucular hospitals There they are
made by their wives or other rela
tions a few who have gone to Ashe
ville to he near their loved ones, and
have formed themselves into a little
colony just outside the gates of Oteen.
There, too. one finds an American Le
gion Auxiliary worker, among the lit
tle children of the families. They re
ceive one cent apiece for them and the
Auxiliary sells them and every cent
received goes towards tne work as
outlined above, with a very little go
ing to locals cases, while such cases
are pending for compensation and
hospitalitation etc.
So I hope when the ladies of thc-
American Legion Auxiliary and the
Junior Auxiliary give the people of
Henderson and vicinity the opportun
ity again this year to wear the poppy
in Memoriam they will be as liberal
as they can, in order that the work
above described may go on unham
pered and that these little things. In
significant within themselves, but con.
taining a world of comfort, may go on.
Cordially vours.
MRS. LAURENCE WALL.

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
May 24. 1738—Methodism was born
at a prayer meeting of Anglicans in
London. The biographer of John
Wesley, who w r as then 35, tells us that
when Luther’s preface to the Epistle
to the Romans was read, Wsley’s
heart was strangely warmed. He ob
serves:
"The sweeping aside of ecclesiasti
cal traditions, the rejection of th*
Apostolical Succession, the ordination
with his own hands of prebyters and
bishops, the final organization of a
separate church, were all logically
concerned with w-hat took place that
night."
May 24. 1816 —'Emanuel Leutze was
born in Gmund, Wurtemberg. destin
ed to do a dozen of the most famous
paintings in American history. His
best work, "Washington Crossing the
Delaware’’ was painted in Germany,
which fact may account for its glar
ing anachronisms.
He was more careful about "West
ward the Star of Empire takes its
Way." which he was commissioned to
paint on one of the staircases in the
Capitol at Washington. In prepara
tion. he made the then difficult jour
ney to the base of the Rocky moun
tains. and went to Munich to study
the mechanism of fresco-painting.
May 24, 1819 —'The Duke of Kent,
told bv a gypsy that he would be the
father of a princess who would be
come a great queen, had hastened
with his wife from Germany to Eng
land so that the child might be born
in the country he was told she would
lule. There, on this date. Alexandina
Victoria was born, as far removed
from the throne as little Princess Eli
zabet is today.
Two childless uncles and her fath
er died and she bceame. in accord

among the immortals because
of his distinction mt being the
first European to see the Pacific
ocean from,, American shore*.
He was born of a noble,’ but
impoverished Spanish family in
1475, spent a dissolute youth
and sought to find his fortune
in the New World. Failing te
attain prosperity as a colonist at
Santo Domingo, he struck west
ward and sighted the Pacific
from a mountain top on the
Isthmus of Panama. This feat
and subsequent explorations
made by Balboa only ended in
tragedy as he was beheaded on
charges of treason in 1517, th#
victim of the enmity of his supe
rior, Pedrarias, who was governor
of the lands Balboa* claimed for
Spain. Panama honored the
famous explorer with a stamjf
issued in 1916.

getic, ambitious Lloyd George into the
Cabinet as head of the newly organ

John Simon, destined to be the for

made home secretary. The rising
Labor Party was recognized, too:
Ramay MacDonald was in disgrace,
for his opposal of the war, but Arth
ur Henderson was given the educa
tionol portfolio.
Russia had a concurrent ministe
rial upset. Tlie minister of war, Gen
eral Sukhomlinoff. was forced to re
sign because of the failure of the arm
ies to check the German invasion.
Sukhomlinoff had hen so enchanted
with the thought of crushing the Ger
mans that he defied the weak-willed
czar in that fatal last week of July
1914 and continued mobilization, pre
cipitating Germany's entrance into
the war.

2 What is the meaning of "Esse
Quam Videri” on the State Seal?
3 How long did Warren Winslow,
of Cumberland county, serve the state
as governor?
4 Wfriat three important articles
did Raleigh's colonists take back to
England in 1586? |
5 What plan did the legislature of
1760 adopt to keep the governor from
knowing what their deliberations
were ?
6 Who was the first governor of
the independent state of North Caro
lina?
ANSWERS
1— From Southeastern Virginia.
Planters from that section spread
down to the rich river bottoms of the
Pasquotank, Chowan and Roanoke
rivers where they could get land on
better terms than they could in their
immediate home neighborhoods.
2 These words are Latin and are
taken from Cicero's essay on Friend
ship. They mean "to be rather than
to seem.”
3—Twenty-five days, from Decem
ber 6, 1854 to January 1, 1855. Winslow
was speaker of the senate and became
judge to succeed Governor D. s. Reid,
of Rockingham, who had been ap
pointed U, S. senator. A resolution to
declare the senate speakership vacant
failed of passage and Governor Win
slow served in both capacities until
January 1 when his successor. Thomas
Bragg, of Northampton, who had been
elected governor, was inaugurated.
I—The colonists Sir Walter Raleigh
sent to America in 1585 under Ralph
Lane returned to England the follow
ing year. They took iback to England
with the "uppowoc" (tobacco), “paga
tour (Indian corn) and "openauk"
(Irish potatoes) which they introduc
ed into that county as Americas con
tribution to the world.
5 A resolution was phased forbid
ding tlje clerk to deliever the journal
to any person except the speaker of
the house.
6 -Richard Caswell, of Dobbs, now
Lenior county. Governor Caswell was
chosen by the convention of 1776 to
serve until the next meeting pf the
general assembly. The constitution,
adopted by that convention provided
for the election of governors by its
genei-al assemlbly for one.year terms.
No person was eligible for more than
three successive terms within a six
>ear period. Governor Caswell was
elected each year for the, there terms.
Then after three more years which
made the eonstitutiona lsttx lie was re
elected three more terms. His grave
which is located. near Kinston was
marked in 1919 by the N. C. Historical
