memorial flowers. Manufacturing poppies aids the veteran both financially and psychologically . I hey are paid for the work they do regardless of any government compensation they might be receiving, and the job itself is a relief from long hours spent in a hsopital ward. For many, it is the only opportunity to earn money during the year. As each poppy leaves the hands of a disabled man it contributes monetary assistance for necessities and comforts not supplied by the hospitals —a small amount of savings for the veteran toward the day he can leave the hospital — and financial assistance for his dependents. These men invariably ask the American Legion Auxiliary for permission to make more and more poppies, not only for money, but because the program offers them the opportunity to do something productive. Poppy materials are supplied by the Auxiliary and the organization pays these men weekly throughout the manufacturing period. The program is actually a large scale project. Poppy Day is coming!
