FAMILIES OF NEEDY VETS T0 GET AID Poppy Sales Will Help To- ward Fund Declares Mrs. McKanna Nearly 30,000 new names will be on_the scroll of America’s dead defenders when the nation honors its war dead on Memorial Day this | year, according to Mrs. R. J. Mc- Kanna, President of the Alford John Bradford Unit of the Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary. World War veterans have been dying at the average rate of 80 per day during the last year, making nearly 30,000 {who have passed on since last { Memorial Day. This high death rate among the veterans gives Poppy Day, May 25, | heightened importance, Mrs. Mc- Kanna explained. On this day the | Auxiliary women collect contribu- tions which form the major source of support for their work for needy families of veterans throughout the year. Unless generous public sup- port is given the Auxiliary’s Poppy |Day appeal, the welfare activities cr the Unit cannot be maintained. “Almost every veteran who dies now leave a widow and children, and few leave sufficient means to provide for:. their families,” said Mrs. McKanna. “The seventeen years which have passed since the war make it ‘very difficult to prdve that the veteran’s death resulted from war service, and unless such legal proof can be established, no government aid is available for the family. The Legion and Auxiliary must step in with emergency aid until other aid can be secured or the family made self-supporting. “In addition to the veterans who die, there are more than 100,000 constantly in hospitals. We en- deavor to do something for those veterans while they are still with- {in reach of our help, providing them cheer and comforts while they are in the hospitals and aid- ing them in the long, uphill strug- gle to regain an economic foot- hold after they leave the hospitals. Their families, too, often need aid. | “The poppies, which we will of- fer Saturday, May 25, to be worn honor of the dead, are our principal means of raising funds ‘Iur this work for the living.” - eee TO CORDOVA Oscar Bergseth and R.
