•The Saturday before Itemori al Day has been observed as Poppy Day in all parts of the
country for many years,” said Mrs. Sroboda, in announcing the date of this year's .V
observance. "Poppies have been worn in memory of the war dead ever since the close
of '.'.'arid V.’ar I. They are replicas of the wild flowers which grew on the battle fields
of France and Belgium, fought over in.both wars, but they have come to symbolize
memory for those who died in any part of the world.
"The poppies which the Auxiliary will distribute are all hand-made, shaped from crepe
paper by disabled veterans working in hospitals and convalescent workshops through
out the country. The disabled men take special pride in making the flowers to'honor
their fallen comrades and the work is valuable to them as occupational therapy, be
sides bringing them much needed earnings."
