‘Honor Dead by
Helping Living’ Is
Aim of Poppy Sale
“Honor the dead by helpi' g the
living.” That’s the ultimate pur
pose of the annual Buddy Poppy
distribution, or sale, to be held
here May 21, under the sponsor
ship of Post No. 6569 Veterans
of Foreign Wars of the United
States.
Members of that organization,
each of whom has served in cam
paigns outside the continental lim
its of the United States, and in
many instances saw his buddies
make the supreme sacrifice or be
come permanently disabled, are
honoring those comrades-in-arms
by aiding their dependents.
Through the nationwide V.F.W.
campaign they also are asking
their fellow men to bestow similar
honors through the purchase of
the V.F.W. memorial flower, the
Buddy Poppy.
Beneficiaries of the traditional
Buddy Poppy campaign include
disabled war veterans, dependents
of veterans and the widows and
orphans of deceased veterans.
The entire proceeds from the
nationwide Buddy Poppy sale are
used exclusively for the welfare
and rehabilitation of disabled vet
erans ahd in providng aid for their
dependents.
Disabled veterans in govern
ment hospitals are paid for their
labor in fashioning the little red
flowers, and one cent for every
poppy sold is contributed to the
V.F.W. National Home in Eaton
Rapids, Mich., where care and a
. normal home life is given to wi
dows and children of deceased
veterans, Commander Bob Em
mons of Post 6569 explained.
Funds from the Buddy Poppy
sale also are used to support a
national rehabilitation service
which indirectly benefits local
veterans as well as disabled and
needy ones throughout the nation.
The nationwide distribution of
Buddy Poppies, held annually the
last week in May, this year will
be conducted by 10,000 V.F.W.
Posts in every state and the Dis
trict of Columbia, with some 7,000
Ladies Auxiliary units assisting.
The infant son of Mrs. Laura
Jones who was brought in from
Teller, passed away following an
illness here. Funeral has not been
announced.
