WEDNESDAY, • :NOV. 9th, .:1960:
POPPIES-- THE SYIVIBOL OF
REMEMBRANCE
The 'pbppy a air becomes: conspicuous
as another Remembrance- Day approaches
for it has become the 'symbol of . remem,.
brance. This month it is 39 years since the
custom of wearing 'a poppy, in remembrance.
was_. inaugurated in Canada.. From .the `mod.'
est ' beginning in ' 1921, the custom .;has be-
come ,generalthroughout the country.'
The poppy has a three -fold significance:
First, there-. is the Act of . Remembrance:
itself, symbolized by the wearing of a riop-
py the emblem derived from the blood
red poppies which ,grew in • such profusion
on the graves of Canada's fallen who lie: in
'Flanders- Fields, made immortal by Colonel ,
John McCrae's' poem.
which ..th
Second, ,there " is the use to ch e
money raised by the Poppy Campaign is
put.. Across the length and :breadth of Can-
ada thousands of ex -service ' families not
e assistance entitled' . to Government assnce have
been given a helping hand through 'the
Poppy .Fund. It is a firm role that all of
the 'net .proceeds derived from the Poppy
Campaign'. must only - be spent on the re-
lief of distress among ex -service men and
their dependents.
Third, there is the assistance ,: given to a
considerable number of disabled _veterans
by the sale of /poppies; made,. by them in
"Vetcraft" shops.. Since the inception of '.
the Poppy Campaign , on . a national scale,
the Canadain Legion has made e a contract
with the. ` Department of Veterans' Affairs `<
for the distribution > of these "Vetcraft"
)'poppies' and wreaths, thus ensuring a ,live-
Iihood ' .for ' the men employed in ` their
manufacture. Many will, wear a poppy on
Friday.
Thefame of 'great inen ought ` always
to be estimated by`'the ,`means used to ac-
.
inure it.
