He called attention to the ‘recommendation of the joint committee on the orâ€" ganization of Congress for disconâ€" tinuance of the "practice of creat. ing special committees of investiâ€" lndon." Church pointed out that the committee on expenditures in Executive departments has already begun an investigation of surplus propertyâ€" and to create a special committee would represent a duâ€" plication of that work. â€" Church said, "We talk long, loud and ofâ€" ten about the duplications in the Executive branch of the governâ€" ment and . . . it seems to me that we who constitute the legislative branch should ourselves avoid duâ€" plication."

Most of them send the money home to their families. ~ from the veterans hospital where they were made by disabled veterâ€" ans of both world wars. As they are made by hand, no two of the flowers are exactly alike. Some come from the hands of men who were hurt 28 years ago in the battles of the first world war. Others have been shaped by young veterans, injured in Europe or in the Pacific in the second conâ€" flict, who made poppies this year : ts sA ons 4c for the first time.

The poppies have been received at American Legion headquarters ’ It is the hope of the. units that everyone who puts on a poppy on Poppy day will look closely at the ifitfleflwerand think. of the men who make the poppies, what they have been through and what they still are enduring because of their war service.
