Alexander chose “Education” as the subject of his address at the Douglas High School Commencement last tnight in the Coliseum Theatre. He con- gratulated the community which made possible the high school than to govern a state.” Education is the most important of all human try where there are mo titles, no class distinctions. This 'is a land of golden opportunity where men are not distinguished by blood or heredity or class or caste but. by his - own- individual - achievements, said Judge Alexander. Many of the greatest men in our history, continued Judge Alex- ander, have come from humble homes, as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson, both born on the frontier and self-educated. Car- negie, the - first, and greatest of all the so-called steel barons, was | the son of humble Scotch parents. The Judge told the seniors that what they do from now on will shape their futures, which will be exactly what they make it. These things are important in life, pointed out the Judge, “a firm foundation of characters, am- bition and a definite goal, utiliz- ing every opportunity. Whatever occupation you choose, be the best [endeavors, especially in this coun-| NINE STUDENTS KNOWN BY ALL AS ‘POPPY DAY’ English - Speaking World Commemorates, Aids War Victims Buying Insignia On their way to work tomorrow morning, May 26th, the people of Juneau will be offered little red poppies to wear in memory of the World War dead. They will also be offered an opportunity to con- tribute to the welfare of the war's living victims. All day Saturday members of the American Legion Auxiliary will be on the streeis with baskets of the poppies and with coin boxes to receive contribu- tions in exchange for the memorial flowers. The custom of wearing popples in memdry of ‘the war dead is dollars for the relief of the war' families the poppy earnings pro-| are used. The money is expended disabled, the widows and fatherless children. made by the disabled veterans, as | the label on each poppy shows. Made By Disabled Veterans “Early in the winter the making of the poppies which will be worn the following May, begins in gov- ernment hospitals and in special workrooms maintained by the Aux- iliary throughout the country. Hands of disabled veterans, weary of idleness, are given employment shaping the little paper flowers. Discouraged men whose spirits have sunk to despair from months and years of unemployment are given the reviving experience of ' again earning money. “A penny apiece is paid for each poppy made. A veteran, if he is not too badly disabled, can easily turn out 300 of the flowers in a short working day. This is usually the maximum number the disabled men are permitted to make in a day to prevent them from overtaxing their strength, and vide a ‘stake’ for the day when re-establish themselves in life| against the handicap of their| disabilities. | “Veterans too badly disabled to make complete flowers sometimes form what they call ‘Poppy Cor- porations.’ Several of them work| together on the same flower, each, performing the operation which hel can do and passing the flower to the others to be completed. Even blinded veterans can take part in the work under this arrangement Large Problem Involved ‘Manufacturing the poppies in- volves large problems of financing, management and distribution for the Auxiliary wome\ directing the project. ‘This year wages paid to the disabled veterans will total nearly $100,000. Employment has been given to many hundreds in| 58 different hospitals and work- rooms in 40 states. “The funds ~derive¢ from the largely in the community in which All of the poppies are|they must go out and attempt to it 'is raised under the direction of the rehabilitation® and child wel- fare committees of the local Aux- iliary Unit and Legion Post. Draws Wide Appeal “The wearing of the poppy draws its wide appeal from its dual pur- pose of honoring the dead and ! serving the living. Every red flower ot a lapel on ‘Poppy Day' means that the wearer has thought of the men who lie beneath the poppies in France, and has contrib- uted something to the relief and rehabilitation of the men, women and children who are still fightine the long battle against physica’ and financial handicaps resulting from war service.” Poppy Wreatas Seil Well Poppy wreaths have had a splen- did sale throughout Juneau and Glacier Highway districts, accord- | Ing to the Legion Auxiliary com- iittee. It has been by far the largest sale ever conducted and we surely appreciate the co-operation i hiteen yearws old ‘this year, and it i training of the graduates: he com- there ‘is, whether you be lawyer, BROMT o i aed ‘hrfiuw‘mrl i means earnings of three dollars a poppies are used by the Auxi_nary of those who have supported the mended the school board, faculty doctor, merchant, carpenter, cob-|¥® lish icht , 1 b‘I % p ¢ | day. and the American Legion in giving | cale, committee members said.

Judge Alexander declared that history would call this age one of synchronization and assembling, rather than the steel age or science era. Older men and women have seen the ox cart replaced by the locomctive, automobile and air- plane. Retail shops have grown to great department stores. But the most important growth has been the change in ideas of education with a great increase in the num- ber of schools. Education Important ' Well developed men and women, averred Judge Alexander, should Bllow education to cease only when UP SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Complimentary to the graduates the Douglas Island Women’s Club sponsored a dance which was time- ly and very much appreciated last night in the Eagles’ Hall.

High School and teachers went to Auk Lake for the day, the Tth and 8th grade, with Miss Pimperton climbed up the Treadwell ditch, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades and their teachers, Miss Thoma and Mrs. Cashen, picnicked at the end of the road, and Miss Fraser took her charges, first and second graders to the Treadwel beach. ——.— TO TENAKEE Mike Reisser left on the Este- beth last night for a visit to Ten- akee Springs. - ee——— SPECIAL DINNER At Mike's Place every night from 5 o'clock on—50c.
