"Poppy Day contributions are used to bring comfort and cheer to disabled Veterans in the hos pitals. They provide aid for dis abled men outside of the hospi tals who are having difficulties in reestablishing themselves economically. They help care for the children of disabled vet erans while the veterans are undergoing hospital treatment. They pay the wages which mean so much to the veterans who make the poppies. The coin dropped into the collection box of an Auxiliary volunteer on Poppy Day works for the dis abled veterans throughout the year."

"It will be tiring, unaccustom ed work for me," she said, "but I feel it is just about the most worthwhile work I can ever do. rt keeps fresh the inspiring memory of the war dead, and brings aid to those stricken de fenders of Our country who are still within the reach of human help."
