Poppy Day :November 6th Last year, Canada remembered her war dead in so inspiring; a fash- ion at Vimy—the memorial itself, the Pilgrimage' of veterans, mothers ano wives, the participation of the King, the President of the French Republic, The Prime Minister: that every Can- adian must feel pride in a duty- so wholly and beautifully done. Some expression of that feeling should be made on November 6th, when, with the appeal of the Poppy Fund, the opportunity is given to ren- der in some measure gratitude to o those who fell in the Great War, and also to those whocame back wounded in body and spirit. .Regardless of all the help that government can de- vise they are still handicapped in the daily race of life, and it is to such a= these that the funds derived from Poppy Day goes in order to supply clothing, eatables, and the simple amenities of life. It also meets cer- fainkinds of emergencies, medical end domestic. In this regard the Clinton branch has assumed heavy re- sponsibility by way of dental treat- ment for veterans children, together with other worthy assistance. To all grateful subjects the. appeal goes out to give generously. The need is still great. The cense is a worthy one. Let us . all wear a Poppy on Poppy Day.
