TEE DAILY BANNER, G KEEN CASTLE, INDIANA TUESDAY, MAY ID, 1936.

\ s \( IiK!» t I'STOM Because of th” deep significance which is attach ! to Me morial day, this occasion er. h year was selected by the Veterans of foreign Wars as the time for its amnia! Buddy Poppy distribution The V. K VV. Buddy Poppy is doubly repn . illative of the spirit of unsellialme a and sacrifice for others. Each flower to be sold in the city of Greencastlc and in thousands of other cities and towns throughout the country in conjunction with Memorial day is painstaking fashioned by the fingers of disabled world war veterans confined to beds or wards in government hospitals in all parts of the country. Those men are paid small sums for then labor. In thousands of instances, such sums are their only private source of income the only money they can call their own can use for small personal needs and i * - quirements Every cent of the money contributed by the people of this city and the county at large, in the fifteenth

annual Buddy Poppy sale on May 23, will be devoted to the cause of veteran welfare, to the protection and care of disabled veterans, to the security of their dependent wives and children, and to provide for the widows and orphans of America’s soldier dead. The V. F. W. Buddy Poppy is the organization’s united acknowledgement of a national debt to the men whose lives and courage we honor on Memorial day.

Mrs Mortar, Martha’s aunt, puts a bad interpretation on an innocent em /..;i ten Dr. Cardm and Martha The quarrel j that ensues is overheard by the ' ' pupils Mary Til/ord, a vicious 5 child who is bored with school, spreads an ugly ruumor and terrorist: one o) the other children to support her charges.

f The day that followed was a nightmare for Karen and Martha. Without notice, and without explanation, mothers began calling for their daughters or sending their chaiifTiiUrfi to bring them home. The cbildn n were us bewildered as were thrir teachers. Karen and Martha finally le.rned from one of the feui what had happtnd.

said

Mary tried to remedy her error. •‘It wasn’t her room. It was the other room. I guess. She was out, and ..." "And how did you know anybody was in Miss Wright's room," Cardin demanded. ’’ 'Cause we heard you. I heard you and . . . . " "My room is on the first floor at the other end of the house,” Karen explained to Mrs. TUford. Tt's impossible for anybody to hear anything from there.” Cardin turned to leave.

In Cardin, too, was indignant. "What were we expected to do, Mrs Tilford? Were we supposed to lie down and grin until you finished kicking us around with these lies?" Mis. TUford refused to be moved cither by their threats or entreaties. She believed the rumor and she had her duties towards Innocent children. But Dr Cardin per-

Rosalie’s manner changed suddenly. She stared fascinated and fearfully at Mary like a small wild animal hypnotized by a cobra. Mary moved quickly to her grandmother. "Grandma,” she said "There's romething I’ve got to tell you about

Rosalie threw herself on the couch with a shrill cry and bdga® to weep hysterically. "Yes, yes, I did see it. I told Mary What Mary told was right. I said It.

Louis Meyer, winer in 1928 and 1933 and t'ldng a triple victory this year, was mi. ed fourth, and Wilbur Shaw, a money driver and second finisher last year, was placed in fifth position. Just before last year’s race De 1‘aoio picked Kelly Petillo to win and supported his prediction by becoming the little Italian’s pit manager. “Say. I’ve watched a lot of these Indianapolis whirls and drove in a couple, too, and that boy Petillo drove one of the smartest races I ever saw.” he said. “It was no fluke, at all, and I’m glad he’s coming back this year to show that it wasn’t.” De Paolo won’t go no ft r as to nick Petillo to win again this year, hut he believes the May 30 race this year will see a return to competition of the old days. The faster track and i gasoline restriction that is hound to bunch the cars will have several racers closely following the leader, he argues. “The physical condition of the driver counts as much as the condition of
