POPPY SALE
(Ont. Provincial Poppy Committee.)
Poignant reminder of those spaci-
ous days of glory and of grieving,
"'Poppy Day" once more recurs to
prompt the citizens of this .country
in the duties they have inherited from
the past generation. To Canadian
youth in this year of grace, the ,deep -
red petals of the Poppy may not
carry the same significance they bore
to the youth of twenty years ago. The
symbolism of sacrifice with which the
poppy has become charged is some-
thing to which the present genera-
tion succeeds only through the wist-
ful memories of the aging men who
fought their country's battles, who
suffered privations, endured long
agonies and finally •triumphed amid
surroundings carpeted ,wit'h poppies.
