You honour those who gave up their youth so we may be free. And you help the living and the dependents of those who have served our country. I . What does the poppy represent? The poppy represents the symbol of Remembrance. 2. Why should I wear a poppy? When you wear a poppy or display a wreath you honour the war dead and help ex -service personnel and their dependents. 3. How do I help needy ex -service personnel and their dependents? The basic purpose of poppy funds is to provide immediate assistance to any ex - servicemen and women in need. This may include food, shelter or medical attention for them or their families. Also bursaries are granted to children and grandchildren of ex -service personnel. 4. Are there any other uses for poppy funds? Yes. Poppy funds can be used for low - rental housing and care facilities for elderly or disabled persons and their dependents. community medical appliances and medical research, day care centres. meals -on -wheels, transpor- tation and related services for veterans. their dependents and the aged. Dona- tions may be given for relief of disasters declared by the federal or provincial governments 5. Aren't ex -servicemen and women eligible for government pensions? Yes. Many ex -servicemen and women do get pensions. but many others. although handicapped. do not. How- ever, no pension can provide for even- tualities such as fire. a long illness on the part of the breadwinner or other medical expenses 6. Do you have to be a Legion member to get help from the poppy fund? No Any ex -serviceman or woman or dependent is eligible to apply for help from the poppy fund and from Legion service bureaux In fact. a large number of all Service bureau cases involve people who are not Legion members. 7..What are Service Bureaux? Throughout the Legion, in some 1.800 branches in ten provincial commands and in Ottawa. there are service officers whose job it is to assist ex -service persons or dependents with problems relating to disability pensions or other veterans' legislation. The national and provincial offices not only provide advice but act on behalf of the individual. Every year thousands of representations are placed before the federal government on behalf of "clients". There is no charge or this service which is available to any ex - serviceman or woman'or dependent who can qualify for such assistance. 8. Does all the money raised through the sale of poppies and wreaths go into poppy funds? After expenses.'such as the cost of poppies. wreaths and other supplies are deducted. all remaining monies are placed in trust to be spent on those pur- poses authorized in the General By-laws of The Royal Canadian Legion 9. Can poppy money be used for anything else? The Legion's constitution stresses that poppy funds must be held in trust They are subscribed to by the public. They are held in a bank account separate from that of the branch and cannot be used for any other purpose than those stipulated. 10. Are campaign expenses high? Campaign expenses are unusually low because most of the work is voluntary 11. How much should I give? We suggest that you give according to the dictates of your conscience You might remember that the cost of all the things the poppy fund provides is much higher today: therefore. it takes more money to do the same lob ®VI atOv0 z i�Do 18t EAST STREET, GODERICH ;cCa[/rnz JanEa[ onl Robert McCallum Cambria Road at East St. Goderlch Ontario Look at the names on the Cenotaph and think of all the dreams that never came true.
