Sales were proceeding briskly ' all morning with the largest patron- age recorded in years as shoppers, business men and women children bought the red floral in- signia. The poppies are all made by dis- abled veterans who received one cent apiece for their work. All of the money not spent on actual expenses is expended to provide help for needy veterans and their families, both through the local American Legion post and the na- tional organization. This is an annual occasion and is observed throughout the Eng- lish speaking world. It is one char- ity which has practically universal appeal and always receives whole- hearted support. Nearly every busi- ness house in the city has on dis- play one or more poppy wreaths, purchased from the Legion Auxil- and iturn to the mother country often {are granted—but only on condition |that they will not take any em- (ployment, paid or unpaid, during their sojourn here.

The American Legion and Doug- las are scheduled to meet Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in City Park in a nine-inning game. Al- though showers are predicted for tomorrow, it was considered likely that the game could be played. Manager Goddard of the Vets will start Junge or McAlister. Man- ning probably will work for the Islaners. The two clubs are tied in the City League standing, each hav- ing won and lost two games. How- ever, both have a protested game in which Douglas is involved. The Islanders protested last Sunday’s | game, alleging it was stopped by orders of the official Chief Um- pire, who, however, was not of- ficiating in that particular game. The Legion filed a protest over its first game against Douglas, basing it on a decision on a hit to the outfield. No hearing has been held on either protest. Last night's game between the Moose and BElks was washed out by rain. It was the first game of the year to be postponed. It will be played off on the first favor- able open night. e FISH BUYING IS STOPPED, SITKA PORT SITKA, Alaska, May 26.— Fish buying stopped here Thursday night on receipt of a message than‘ the Longshoremen’s strike was ty-| ing up the salmon industry.
