BUDDY POPPY DRIVE J- MAY 15 AND MAY 31

On May 15th and May 31st the Altamont Veterans of Foreign Wars Post and Auxiliary will hold their annual Buddy Poppy sale. While we well realize that people today are literally swamped with requests to contribute to many fund raising drives, we feel that the Buddy Poppy Campaign is one that cannot be ignored.

This is one of the few chances that local people have of paying homage • to those who gave spvniuch for their Country during times of war. If you give 25 cen ts io r a Buddy Poppy, approximately 19 cents stays right here in our community where the. local post uses the. money to help needy veterans and their families. One and one-half cents goes to the state V.-F.'W. wel­fare program; one cent to the V. F."W. National rehabilitation service; one cent to the V. F. .W. Natipriaj: Home for widows and orphaned children, arid the reniaihder.tp cost of materials and to pay the hospitalized veterans who assemble the Buddy Poppies.

The V. F . VV. National'Home is an especially praiseworthy project. At Eaton Rapids, Michigan, the V.-.F.-W. has set up a model child village. The children liye in.regiilai; homes erected by the V, F. W. Ranging from in­fants to high'^Cjiopl^ag$ c h i l d r e n each home has a mixture of boys and girls, with five to "ten. clii lSrenm each home, supervised by a house mother.

DISABLED VETERANS WELCOME CHANCE

TO MAKE POPPIES From east to west and north to

south, disabled veterans in inany states have been busily engaged in making VFW Buddy Poppies for several months. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, in the village, of Alta-mdht will hold their annual Buddy Poppy Sale on May 15 and May 31.

%C6rnrtiahder William Mahoney of the local VFW post, in discussing Buddy Poppies, pointed out that each one carries a copyrighted label oh which is printed the words "Made by Disabled Veterans." He warned the public ]a avoid purchase of pop­pies that do not carry the govern­ment registered trademark of the Veteran's of Foreign Wars

Ever since 1922, when the VFW conducted the first nationwide sale of Buddy Poppies, the Veterans Ad­ministration has permitted disabled veterans under government care to assemble the materials that a re neces­sary to create the official Buddy Poppy!

Veterans ^Administration officials have always regafded the making of Buddy Poppies by disabled veterans as a valuable form of occupational therapy. " This experience is regarded as a. morale booster for coriv&lescent patients, tyhd benefit from the psy­chological reaction of proving useful to themselves and to the cause which the Buddy Poppy represents.

OF CUB SCOUTING IN THIS VILLAGE

At an organizational meeting held last Friday at St. John's Lutheran church, 35 Altamont families express­ed approval of the Cub Scout move­ment, which furthers the home-cen­tered program of boy-parent rela­tionship. '

Dick Unser of Fort Orange. Coun­cil, Boy Scouts of America, provided two films relating to Cub Scouting in general and the pack and den ac­tivity in particular. These films pointed out that there must be some intelligent efforts on the part of the parents to insure success along the lines of advising and directing "your" son in his new-found interests.

In order that parents can better understand these problems, an edu­cational meeting is planned for Thursday night, May 20, at 7:30, at the Altamont Elementary school.

All panents, whether present at the meeting last Friday or not, are urg­ed to be at the school on May 20th. Your son needs' your help.

Mothers who are interested in act­ing as den mothers, and fathers who would like to participate as mem­bers of the pack committee, are all urgently needed. Make yourselves known so that these boys may have the advantage of your help.

Thirty-seven Altamont boys last Friday night attested to the fact that they wanted to become Cub Scouts. Let us give them all the help we can —be at the school on May 20th, at

Two Clarksvilie Churches I C M i l i l i i

As the annual day for the wearing of the poppy draws near, it is well to bring to our minds the significance of this little flower. Why do we have a Poppy Day?

First, we wear the poppy once a year to express the feeling of rev-reance that is always in our hearts for the men who died for America during the two World Wars and the Korean conflict. The poppy is their flower.

Second, we wear the poppy to help our disabled veterans and the fam­ilies of dead and disabled veterans. Making the poppies gives employ­ment to hundreds .of disabled" men throughout the winter — men who

The funds derived from the poppy sale constitute the largest source of revenue for the Rehabilitation and Child Welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary. The dimes, quar­ters and dollars dropped into the con­tribution boxes on Poppy Day enable the Legion posts and Auxiliary units to carry out a constructive program of aid to the disabled and to the de­pendent families of veterans through­out the year. Poppy Day is the one day when the public is privileged to contribute toward this great work.

The need for the relief work ffom-the poppy funds becomes greater and greater each year. The government is very generous to the disabled vet­eran and families of the dead, but governmental relief can be secured •only by those who can establish le­gal proof that the disability or cause of. death originated during war ser­vice. As years recede farther into the past, it is difficult to secure this proof. A great many veterans find themselves outside the reach of gov­ernment help. They can receive free: hospital treatment, but when they attempt to re-establish them­selves in life, there is no aid. The poppy fills this great gap. With the funds from the poppy sale, the Legion and Auxiliary step in where the government cannot reach.

When you buy your poppy on Sat­urday, May 22, think of the disabled veteran in a hospital workshop who j has helped to make the

If there is unusual activity going on about the village of Clarksvilie it is due to the fact that th£> mem­bers of the Reformed church are' ob­serving the tooth anniversary of the Reformed church in that village.
