LEGION POPPY DAY ON SATURDAY, The local Branch of the Canadian Legion is making its annual POPPY DAY appeal to the people of this community Saturday. The, Poppy Fund is now h recognized institu- tion wherever the Canadian Legion exists. in Canada and it serves a two- fold purpose of much merit. The money which is raised by the distri- bution of the Poppy—the symbol of sacrifice—is used entirely to relive unusual distress' among War Veter- ans of the last war and the recent conflict, and their families. At all times it has been found that the Veterans, in view of the fact that many of them have disabilities and handicaps, suffer even more than others who are out of employment, since many of them require special care and attention which they are unable to provide. This is where the Poppy Fund, raised through the sale +of Poppies by the local Branch of the Legion, steps in and provides relief for the situation. There is another reason why every citizen should wear a Poppy for Remembrance Day. These Pop- pies are manufactured in the Vet - craft shops of Canada, workshops in which' handicapped Veterans are given sheltered employment, and in which they manufacture the hun- dreds of thousands of Poppies which are distributed every year at this time. By wearing a Poppy, citi- zens can find much satisfaction in knowing that they are helping these handicapped Veterans to obtain a livelihood which they would other- wise lack on account of their special disabilities. This two -fold appeal should find a ready response in the hearts and minds of the people of this commun- ity, which has always been ready to make the way easier for those of its citizens who served Country and Empire in the Great War, and in the recent conflict. We commend it to your sympathetic consideration. in the hope that you will respond gen- erously and thus help to hold the torch flung to you by those who did not come back. An Open Letter from, the President Dear Citizens—This year, as in other years. the Canadian Legion, through its 2000 Branches and Aux- iliaries in Canada, is calling to the people of the Dominion that, they should observe more than ever in solemn remembrance the symbolism which has become an integral part of Remembrance Day observances. and asks that every man, woman and child wear a Poppy on Saturday, November 9th, in memory of those who laid down- their lives in , the Great War and of those men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice in the recent conflict. This appeal is not made on behalf of the Legion or of its members, but on behalf of all ex -Service men who are in need. The collection and ad- ministration of. the Poppy Fund has been entrusted to the Canadian Le- gion. It is ]rept entirely separate and is not even treated as a part of the relief fund. It is rather considered as a Trust Fund, which the Legion ad- ministers for the benefit of all ex - Service men. In granting relief; members of the Legion receive no special preference but all ex -Ser- vice men stand on an equal footing. Any man who has served and who is in need, has a claim on this fund. The Poppies and Wreaths which you will be asked to buy are made by an Organization of Disabled ex -Service men. These men are absolutely in- capable of earning a living in any other way, and but for this industry, would be a charge on the public funds. If Poppy Day did nothing but keep these men self-supporting and self-respecting citizens, it would still be worthwhile. The organization of Poppy Day, the sales of wreaths and poppies, the handling of monies collected, the in- vestigation and relief of all appli- cants, are done by voluntary work- ers. No man or woman connected in any way with this receives one cent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allowance for expenses. All 'mon- ies collected are placed in a special account which is controlled by a Board of Trustees of this Branch.] Every expenditure made is approv-; ed and every account checked by the Board..Every applicant for re-' lief is investigated carefully but sympathetically. Relief may take the form: of food, clothing, fuel, rentor medical assistance. It is practically never issued in cash, One million,seven hundred and fifty thousand citizens of Ontario,I wore a Poppy in Remembrance last November, 5,000 Wreaths were,' placed in Churches and at Memor- ials in honour of lihe dead. Every man, woman and child in Ontario is expected to wear a Poppy on Remembrance Day Should any of our friends desire further information on any point in. connection with Poppy Fund activi- ties, our Branch Secretary will be glad to supply it. The Canadian Le-' cion is grateful for the hearty sup-' port they have always received from; the general public to make the lot of the distressed ex -Service mans easier, and it is our hope that there, will be no partial or permanent black -out for them. Give generously, for your poppy, B, J. Duncan, Branch President.
