POPPY SALES T0 HELP MILLIONS; SALE SATURDAY “Every penny from poppies that will be sold on the streets of this DIMOND HIGHWAY AID BILL IS TAKEN UP BY CHAMBER Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond has requested the opinion of and thousands of other towns, vil-|the Juneau Chamber of Commerce lages and cities in the country, is| contributed to the welfare and re- habilitation work of the American Legion and .Auxiliary,” Mrs. W. J.| Manthey, Poppy Chairman for the | | Auxiliary Unit here said today. “Be- cause this work is being done by volunteers the money goes a long way. “Many people have wondered | what will become of the money col- | lected by the volunteer workers Sat- May 27. I wish everyone could see what help this money brings to the disabled and their families. Children left fatherless| by two World Wars are the special concern of the Legion and the Aux- iliary. Their needs are often great, especially their human needs. We‘ try to give them comfort both for | the body and the mind. } “Of course the government looks after the physical welfare of the dis- | !abled men who are In hospitals in almost every State, but there are | things which the government cannot | provide, such as the understanding | aid and the personal attention that | so often helps a disabled man smdi which often helps to keep a family together when the chief breadwin- ner is incapacitated. “This is what the money from the poppy sale helps to accomplish. And we hope that this year more and more people will buy the poppies and show their interest in and their sympathy for the men who have fought for them and are now strug- gling to get back to the point where they can againl become self sup- porting.” .- STEEL INDUSTRY VISIONED Stephen P.
