Disabled veterans at Hospi
tals are rushing completion of
Memorial Fonpics which frill be
worn throughout the U.S.A. in honoi
the Far dead on Popp? Day, May 24,
according to Lots. Rorrison, Foppy Chair
man of Palmer Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary,
The local Auxiliary unit is waiting de
livery of 1000 poppies which -ill be dis
tributed here. All of the little red
floners are individually shaped by hand,
providing employment for Veterans unable
to do other work.' Veterans of both world
~ars are employed, older Veterans of
“orld Tar I who have made poppies in pre
vious years working side by side with the ■
second conflict, making the flowers for
the first time.
The work is enjoyed'by the men who benefit
from it in two ways. First, making the
pop: ies'is beneficial as occupational
thera-y, providing interesting occupation
for hands and minds during the long days
of Hospitalization and convalescence.
Second, the money earned enables the Vet
erans to help provide for themselves or
their families and is a powerful morale
builder.
j
Because of the increased public response
to the Legion and Auxiliary T'oppy Day ap
peal, more veterans are being given em
• loynent this year than before. Every'
erson who wears a poppy on Poppy'Day not
only pays tribute to the Tar dead, but
helps the Tar’s living victims toward re- !
covery and rehabilitation.
