Buy a poppy smuf.ofiy
Hoc’ p;.per poppies, fashioned by veterans
of ijn.erica1 s wars, will be sold in Seldovia
next Saturday, May 24, national Ponpy Day.
There is no fixed price for the purchase
of these scraps of crepe paper and wire.
Their true value, paid for in blood and suf
fering and tho cruel monotony of long years
in white hospital wards, is beyond payment
in t^rms of silver or currency.
But you are lskod, as a token of remem
brance and as a silent "thank you" to those
men who paid the largest price of which a
living human is capable, to contribute as
you are able, to the Poppy fund for ..merican
veterans, all proceeds, loss cost of mater
ials which amounts to almost a nickel, re
turn to the hospitalized men.
..nd once your poppy is purchased, make
sure that you, in company with ..mericans ev
erywhere, wear it next Saturday. Wear it
with pride for the bravery of our men. Wear
it with humility at the thought of their
gift in comparison with yours. Wear it with
sorrow and hoartsicknoss for men on constant
beds of pain in the nation’s war hospitals.
,,roar the red poppy, as does your neighbor
in a union of remembrance next Saturday.
Mr.y the spots of brilliant scarlet, em
blematic of ,cnericaTs red young blood spill
ing out on the soil of a dozen foreign na
tions, depict on our memories scenes tha
will never black out.
It is only as we forget that wo begin
preparing the hospital wards for a third
group of young ^unerican poppy-makers.
.kn increase in wages now will just peg
prices permanently higher. (Robert Taft)
Prices and profits are up. The cost of
living is up. Consumers were paying 15 per
cent more in February, 1947 than they wore
in June, 1946. (Joseph C. 0*Mahoney)
