Members of lhe various units of the American Legion Auxiliary are en- gaged in completing plans for the sale of poppies in this city, under the aus- pices of the Department of the Dis- trict of Columbla. The poppy is now the memorial flower of the French, British and Canadian World War vet. erans’ organizations, in addition to the American Legion d American Le- glon Auxiliary. The poppies which will be placed on sale in the National Capital have been made by the disabled service men in the hospitals of Arkansas, Call fornia, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Oregon, Oklahoma and Virginia for local needs under the guidance of the American Legion Auxiliary. The little red poppy, representing the sacrificial blood of the boys who fe]l on the battleflelds in the World ar, was protected from the inroads of commercialism at the convention in St. Paul last September. At thig con- vention a program was adopted elimi- nating the commercial poppy from the sales supply of the auxiliary, and only popples made by the needy and dis- abled men and women and by the unit rembers are to be sold this year, ex- cept in the era.rlmentu where the American Legion has cl of the poppy sales. The auxil program interferes in no way with the Ameri- can Legion program. According to national headquarters of the American Legion Auxiliary, the idea of wearing the poppy in remem- brance of all who died in the World ‘War was presented to the American Legion by one who, from all informa- tion obtainable, was Miss Moina Mi- chael of Athens, Ga. The Department of Georgia took the matter up, and it was adopted by the national con- vention in Cleveland, Ohio, S8eptember, 1920. In 1921, at the national conven- tion of the American Legion Auxil- lary, it was adopted as the memorial flower, and the auxillary pledged profits from the sales to be devoted to welfare relief for the service men and women gnd their families. The poppy sale in the District this year, llndor the auspices of the auxiliary, will be in charge of a special poppy commit- tee, of which Mrs. George E. Killeen is chairman. Past Deparfment Comdr.
