throughout the country, Mr#. Frances MunaJjan, Poppy chairman of Adams 43 unit of the American Legion auxiliary, has announced. The work is giving employment to thousands of disabled veterans, providing beneficial occupational therapy and the encouragement of being able to earn money once more, Mrs. Monahan said- It is being directed by the state organizations of the American Legion auxiliary. which provide the material# and pay the veterans for the popples they make. The poppies which will be worn here on Poppy Day are being made at the Veterans hospital at Marion, under the supervision of the Indiana department of the auxiliary. The local auxiliary unit already has placed its order for its supply of 1958 poppies- ' "The memorial flowera are made of crepe paper with wire stems and are replicas of the wide European poppy which grew in such prolusion on the battle fields and war cemeteries in France and Belgium,” Mrs- Monahan explained. 'The American Legion auxiliary uses the crepe paper noppy because it gives more interesting occupation to the veterans making the flowers and looks more like the wild flower which grew 'between the crosses, row on row,’ in the battle cemeteries. “Besides paying tribute to the war dead and giving the disabled beneficial employment, the little red poppy provides funds for the auxiliary's extensive rehabilitation and child welfare work. Contributions made last Poppy Day are financing the work for disabled veterans and needy children of vet erans here-in Decatur and Adams county this winter. The V. F.

City attorney John L. DeVoss told the group that in order for the council to take action it will be necessary for the interested persons Jo submit a formal petition containing the signatures of those who want released from the city contract.
