UNIT No. 491 By Pearl Cooper Poppy day will be held this year on Saturday, May 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year, as in the past years, it will be a joint effort of McHenry VFW auxiliary and Post 4600 and American Legion auxiliary and Post 491. Most of the funds derived from the sale of the poppies remain in the community in which they are obtained and the funds used for child welfare and rehabilitation of veterans or members of their fam lies. The Memorial Poppy is made by the hospitalized veterans in Illinois and the materials are supplied free of charge to the veterans in the various Veterans administration hospitals and others. In addition to the therapeutic value of such a project, they are able to receive monetary benefits also. Manufacturing poppies aids the veterans both f i n a n c i a l l y a n d psychologically. Thiey are paid for the work they do, and the job itself is a relief from long hours spent in a hospital ward. For many it is the only opportunity to earn money during the year. The little red Poppy as the memorial flower of American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first World War. Veterans returning to their homes in this country remembered the wild poppies which lined the devastated battlefields of France, and Flanders, and the soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice. Mrs. Gib (Carolyn) Congdon is Poppy chairman for the McHenry American Legion auxiliary and Mrs. Gib Congdon is chairman for the McHenry post. Mrs. Congdon has organized a number of the members into volunteer teams to present the poppies to the public in the business sections of McHenry. The McHenry unit has purchased 4,000 poppies this year and Mrs. Congdon asks cooperation of the citizens to support this project as the donations go directly to aid the disabled veterans or their families. Donations of any size are acceptable and Poppy day offers the American public an opportunity to honor the war dead and assist the living.
