•17/1 Congress Remember?
■
In the quite little cemetery of |
Monroe, Georgia there is a well 1
known grave, bearing a signifi
cant inscripton. Surely poppies
blow gently here —scarlet poppies
lifting their crimson petals to
heaven and giving of their sub
tle and peculiar fragrance, a
gentle opiate, for slumber and
sweet dreams to the dreamer be
neath the sod.
She was indeed a dreamer—
a dreamer of ideals end lofty
purpose—-a dreamer who made
a beautiful dream come true,
whose dream was realized and
perpetuated, over our fair
land, in foreign climes, and on
! the sites of far flung battle fields
w r here our valiant dead lie sleep
ing and where poppies, hundreds
, of them shed their soothing opi
, ate and whisper as they sway
softly in the breeze: ‘’Sleep,
, sweet sleep, soldier; youd bat
tles are over. We are your color
bearers, the symbol of the blood
you shed; we are the sentinels
of your long slumber, the guard
’ ians of your honor, the reminder
' . to the people of all the world of
1 l Slumber on beneath the sun.,
} your battles and your worries
r done.”
3 The poppy is the magic flower
• that quickens the heart-beat and
[ arouses old memories and sends
hundreds of hands into pockets
• to produce in appreciation, dimes
- quarters dollars or pennies, not
i only in tribute to the fallen dead
but to contribute to the aid and
, care of those who survived the
i hell of battle, but came home
broken, or with battle scars to
। be healed; to contribute to their
care and hospitalization or ac
r trial shelter and maintenance if
needs be. A scarlet poppy, and
a lady’s dream will not let us
j ■ forget so soon—or ever.
“In Flanders fields the poppies ;
blow,
’ Between the crosses, row on row ।
That mark our place, and in ।
the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, I
fly.”
LEST WE FORGET
! Here they bloom, honoring the ।
dead. And on Poppy Day. they j
cover our land, little crimson
flowers made by the hands, the ।
patient, brave hands of disabled ’
soldiers who have already done ;
their bit, and who still remem- [
ber the horrors of war that ;
blighted them in their golden
youth. Into each tiny flower that
is so patiently and expertly made
by these war worn veterans, a
little prayer of thanks must be
breathed to a magnificent lady
who did not forget, or let others
forget—their Poppy Lady.
And now our country must I
not forget her. It has been pro
posed by representative Paul
Brown and the measure approv- i
ed by the House Post Office and
Civil Service Committee that a
bill be passed whereby the Gov
ernment will honor the memory
of the Poppy Lady, Miss Moina
Michael by reproducing her pic- j
ture on a three cent postage
stamp. Few women have been
accorded this honor. Martha
Washington, Francis Willard,
Susan B. Anthony, Jane Adams, 1
Louisa Alcot, Moina Michael, j
Poppy Lady. What a goodly and
august company to keep in the
annals of a nation's memory!
Georgia is proud to claim Miss !
Michael as her distinguished
daughter—a Georgian who set
a nation afire with a dream, a
dream that was both sentimental i
and practical in the traditions
it cherished and in the good it
spread.
While in service with Y.W.C.A.
during World War I, she was in
spired with the idea of the
Memorial Poppy. With only a

led and' fostered, and diligently |
worked for the Poppy idea un
til now it is a multi-million
dollar enterprise, operating
throughout the English-speaking j
world for the benefit of disabled i
veterans as well as a memorial
for those "who sleep in Flanders
Fields.”
A most arresting book, "The
Miracle Flower,” written by
Moina Michael, gives a graphic
picture of her life and efforts,
and her inspiration for the idea
of the Flanders Field Memorial
Poppy. The book is dedicated to
Colonel John McCrae, author of
the immortal poem. The Fore
word is a quotation from a letter
written to Miss Michael, congrat
ulating her on the splendid pa
triotic service she had rendered.
There is included in the book, a
poem by our Georgia poet, Dan
iel Whitehead Hicky, “April at
' Chateau-Thierry.” This volume
1 has been sold by Legion Posts
5 and Auxiliaries to further aid the
■ cause of disabled veterans.
r A chapter refers to her early
f life on the plantation home near
. Good Hope, Georgia in a home
- where there was a copy of the
Bible, the complete works of
Shakespsare and of Byron on
I the centertable in the “porlor.”
: The library included the classics
even to Plutarch's Lives. There
i is a nostalgic memory of the
rural neighborhood, where reci
pes and patterns were swapped
and community parties, barbe
cues and watermelon cuttings
were enjoyed, old fashion flower
beds cultivated and where large
bushes of cape jasmine were so
full of blossoms that they looked
las though they were draped in
white sheets in the moonlight.
She received her early educa
tion at historic Braswell Acad
emy just across the Morgan
County line, where she walked
ito school. She later attended
' Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens,
i and was enrolled at Columbia
University. But prior to this she
taught in country and town
I schools, for the cultured family
[ became very much reduced in
| finances and it was up to the
elder daughter to help educate
and support the younger child
ren. The plantation was sold and
the family moved to Monroe,
Georgia, where she is buried be
! side her mother.
Athens claims her for her
years of residence there and her
connection with the old State
Normal School faculty, where
her influence was felt in the
lives of many of the students.
Apalachee claims her for the
: years she taught there and con
nections and friends there. Mad
son claims her for her residence
there when she taught in the
Madison school for S3O a month,
nine months of the year. The
American Legion claims her and
has placed a marble bust of her
in the Georgia State Capitol. The
navy honors her when it honors
its dead, by setting afloat on the
waters, each Memorial Day, an
anchor of scarlet poppies, a sym
bol of crimson blood on the
waters.
' She was proposed for the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation
Award of $25,000 for meritorious
Service to Democracy, and pub
, lie welfare, and missed it by
one vote. It was nevertheless a
J great honor to have been nomin
| ated for it,
Walter Winchell once said of ,
i her on a nation wide broadcast:
"She is the best friend the war
veteran has.” It is fitting that
the Government remember and
pay tribute to one who has never
forgotten the men who wore
Unde Sam's uniform. She caught
the torch that was thrown by.
