Communist troops.

British-owned ships were used to
transport Red troops along the
Chinese coast. The committee was
told these vessels later were hired
to carry Mutual Security Admin

Poppy Day Tomorrow—
Memorial Poppy
By STAFFORD KING
Past Commander, American Legion,
Department of Minnesota
No mere flower whose crimsoned
petals
Bloom and drop and fall
Before each setting sun
But more —
It typifies the blood of those
Who died but yesterday
Upon the shell-torn fields of
France—
It symbolizes all to well
The sacrifice of those
Who walk the silent valleys of
the deep.
It brings to us the wind-tossed sea
Which shelters them.
Within its heart we see
The still, white crosses
Row on narrow row
Which sentinel the hills
Where sleep the countless num
bers —
Our Legion of the Dead.
And, glancing deeper still
Within the poppy’s bleeding heart,
We see those others
On their beds of pain,
Or stumbling haltingly
Along the Way of Life—
The Sick, the Lame, the Blind,
And side by side with them
The widowed mother, the orphan
and the wife.
A simple flower, ’tis true,
But more —
A symbol of that sacrifice
Which made and kept us free.
And so,
Lest memory dim with time
We wear
A POPPY FOR REMEBRANCE
