Local Auxiliary Makes Plans For Poppy Day May 23 Preparations for the observance of Poppy Day, Monday, May 23, are being completed by the Dumaâ€" résq Spencer jPost Unit of (the American Legion Auxiliary. Arâ€" rangements are being directed by Mrs. Henry Eitner, chairman of the Poppy Day committee, assistâ€" ed by a large corps of workers from the unit. Plans are being develâ€" oped to distribute memorial popâ€" pies in every part of the city. PAGE TWO "Honor the World War dead and aind the war‘s living victims is the meaning of the memorial poppy." ‘The poppy, which bloomed so strikingly among the trenches, and battle graves in France and Belâ€" gium, became the flower of the dead during the war. Ever since the war it has been worn in all Engâ€" lish speaking countries «annually as an individual tribute to the men who flict. The little red flower takes added significance from the fact that it is made by the war disabled, and that it contributes to the welfare of the disabled men and . the deâ€" pendent families of veterans, Everyâ€" one who wears a poppy on Poppy Day not only is showing rememâ€" brance and honor for the men who died in the war but is giving help to those who are bearing the burâ€" dens of the war in suffering, priâ€" vation and lost opportunities, All contributions made for the flower will go to support the reâ€" habilitations and welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary, which means so much to the disabled vetâ€" erans and the families of the dead and disabled. The women of Dumaresq Spenâ€" cer Post Unit are making great efforts for a successful Poppy Day this year an are hoping that everyâ€" one in Highland Park will catch the spirit of the day, and will join with them in "Honoring the dead and aiding the disabled."

The passing of Mrs. Wm. M. Dooley (as I have known her) marks not only the loss of a most loving and devoted wife and citiâ€" zen, but the end of a life in this world of a perfect saint. I feel most deeply that any word of mine will prove but poor comfort to anyone in their great affliction, but I cannot refrain from offering them my most sincere and heartâ€" felt sympathy. d To her bereaved husband, mayâ€"the thought of having his wife in heayâ€" en be a comfort to him, as well as the certainty that the one he loves has been removed from the trials and sufferings of this world. The insecurity of earthly blessâ€" trials and sufferings of this world. The insecurity of earthly blessâ€" ings teaches us that we do not beâ€" long to ourselves, but we live in hope that death cannot enter that sphere to which the departed are removed. Therefore let hope and faith, my dear people, mingle with our natural sorrow and help us to look to the future, when all who have loved each other will be forâ€" ever reunited.
