Boy Scout Finance
Appeal Seems Likely
To “Go Over Top”
The Boy Scout Finance Appeal
which was launched at a work
ers’ breakfast at the Georgian
Hote] Tuesday morning, ig gather
ing momentum, according to Pres
ton M. Almand, campalign director,
and shows every indication of
going over the top by Thursday
night. “While most of the teams
got in some good work yesterday,”
said Mr. Almand, “only partial re
ports have been received at cam
paign headquarters. These reports
indicate that with the large num
ber of workers on the job many
more prospects are being seer
than were reached last year, withk
many new subscriptions.”
“If the results indicated by earl)y
reports are reached. we will attain
our goal”, Mr. Almand said. How-
ever, he sounded a note of warn
ing to the campaign workers, urg
ing them to allow no let down in
their activities until the last pros
pect i 8 signed up. ‘The fact that
the Gainesville district of North
east Georgia Council has been so
heavily hit that that city will not
be able to reach itg quota this
year means, according to Mr.
Almand, that the Atheng districl
must raise g much larger contri
bution to Scouting this year than
would otherwise be necessary.
“Athens is the hope of Scouting
4n Northeast Georgia thig year,”
Mr. Almand said, “and we must
insure the permanancy of the
Scouting program until Gainesville
recovers from the tornado.”
Team captains are urged to con
tact their workers today and se¢
that al]l prospects are reached by
Thursday night and that reports
are made promptly to campaign
headquarters.

“POPPY DAY WILL
BE HELD ON MAY 23
American Legion Auxiliary
Plans Observance of An
nual Custom
BY MRS. W. W. GLARY
Saturday, May 23, will be “Poppy
Day” in Athens. On that day the
women of Allen R. Fleming, jr.,
unit of the American Legion auxili
ary, will distribute little red pop
pies on the streets to be worn in
honor of the World War dead. The
observance here will be part of the
annual nation wide observance of
'Poppy Day, durirg which millions
[of Americang will pay tribute to
the memory of the war dead by
‘wearing memorial poppies.
. Poppy Day activities here will be
directed by a committee from the
auxiliary heaa by Mrs. C. M. Hen
gon, chairman. A large corpg of
voluntary workers will be organ
ized to carry out the distribution
of the flowers.
The poppies which will be worn
here have been made by disablea
war veterans. The poppy making
hag provided employment for the
needy veterans through the win
ter and spring months, enabling
them to help support themseives
and families. Public response on
poppy day will determine how soon
and how extensively, thigs work can
be reoened,
In exchange for the poppies the
auxiliary women will ask each per—(
son to make a contribution for the‘
welfare of the wars living victims,
the disabled veterans, the widows
and fatherless children of veterans.‘
This money will be usasd entirely in
the welfare work of the Legion
auxiliary, the bulk of it in the work
of the local post.
The enthusiasm of our women
for the poppy day project is due
to the two great purposeg which
the little memorial flower achieves.
First, it pays tribute to those gal
ilant young men who sacrificed
their lives in the defense of Am
\erican ideals on the poppy studded
battle fields of France and Bel
gium. Second, it raises funds far
the relief and rehabilitation of the
living victims of the war, their
families and the families of the
dead. We are hoping that the peo
ple of ‘Athens will understand the
significance of the poppy and will
give their hearty support on poppy
