AMUNDSEN Officer of Minnesota Department American Legion Auxiliary When you are asked to buy the little red crepe paper poppy and wear it on Memorial day as a tribute to those who rest “in Flanders fields” what does it mean to you? That little poppy has a three-fold purpose. First, the sentiment it resents, which should never b ‘gotten. It represents the sacrificial blood of the men who fell in Flanders fields. The first summer after the war the fields of Belgium and france were brown and barren, the trees stark and bare. All vegetation seemed destroyed, when almost over-night the barren wastes were converted into fields of blood red poppies. Especially luxuriant were the pop-| pies that grew on the graves of the ims ping in Flanders fields. So liary adopted the Flanders fica ‘Poppy asa memorial to all who died in service, and in reverence and understanding we wear it.

Levees have had to be built ihigher and nigher because the Mis- sissippi naturally rose as it was j{constricted. The Mississippi River Commission, composed of three | engineeri fficers, three civilian: ,and_an official of the const and gee ‘detic survey, hag, laid dowp standard levee pfogram to rotest iall, points Bieber as of sufficient importance to warrant federal in-' tervention. Standard Levees The commission has recom- mended the building of standard levees, or grade levees as they are called, three feet above the maximum caleulated flood height. Many of these levees are success- fully doing business today. On the basis of reports received here, it is said that only one commis- sion grade levee has gone to pieces and that only because it . was pierced. In grasping the difficulty of levee work and the paramount ne- cessity of constant organization and maintenance, it iiust be. real- ized. that utilization of masonry in the operations is virtually im- possible beeause the river banks offer no solid foundation. The alluvial soil used for levees is liable to constant wearing away and | penetration. “If all levee and river’ work were stopped for 10 years,” ‘ says one arniy engineer, “it would take an. archaeologist to discover that -— except for the bluff towns — there had ever been any civilization in the Mississippi valley. ‘Like Babylonian Days “It is a work of deaths © aut depgepds on existence of 4 ae @etoseapcrous population in tl valley to make it feasible and worth while.
