OPPY SALES ‘GIVE SUPPORT* TO VETERANS Local Unit ;mecrican Le-| gion Ready for Sat- urday Activities Poppies which will be worn here on Poppy Day, Saturday, May 23, in honor of the World War dead, will bring benefits to disabled vet- ns throughout the year, Mrs. E M. Polley, rehabilitation chair- man of the Alford John Bradford Unit of the American Legion Aux-| iliary, said today as the Unit was completing preparations for its Poppy Day activities. “The work of the American Le- gion and Auxiliary for the war dis- | support | abled draws much of its from the funds collected on “Poppy Day,” explained Mrs. Polley. “With- out the contributions made for the little flower of remembrance, our organizations would be unable to continue their vast program of aid for the men who sacrificed health and strength in the nation’s service. “The things we do for the dis- abled are essential acts of aid which would be performed by no other agency or organization if the Legion and Auxiliary were unable to undertake them . We go into the government hospitals where more than 50,000 veterans are constantly under care, bringiny comforts not provided by the gov- ernment, providing holiday remem- brances, cheering entertainments, and keeping the hospitalized men in contact with the outside world We care for the families of the dis- abled left in need at home, giving the veterans the peace of mind nec- essary to their recovery “Assistance to disabled men in obtaining just compensation andi care is given constantly. Justice is never automatic and it often is impossible for the individual veter- an to gather evidence and present his claim effectively. The Leogion and Auxiliary act as his advocate, his friend in need. “The number of disabled veter- ans is growing steadily and we hope for a generous response to the poppy appeal this year so that we| may be able to.meet the increasing | need.” ——ee - INSPECTS PLACER CLAIMS Albert Webb, mining engineer rep- | resenting California eapital, who ar- rived recently in Fairbanks from San Francisco, to Manley Hot Springs to inspect Ngm miles of placer claims on a traveled by plane/ i| ger ,IN.
