Memorial lowers To Be Sold Nov. 11-12 “The poppies are here!” This is the word which flashed through the ranks of the Chat tooga County Unit of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary this week when a shipment of memorial poppies to be wo"n here on Pop py Days, Nov. 11-12, arrived from Georgia hospitals, where they were made by disabled war veterans. Members of the Auxiliary’s Poppy Committee, headed by Mrs. Frances Alexander, of Tri on, and Miss Mae Earl Strange, of Summerville have begun the work of counting and arranging to make the popples ready for volunteer workers who will dis tribute them throughout the cities on Poppy Days. The popples, made of crepe paper with wire stems, are exact replicas of the wild poppies which grew in France and Bel gium during World War 1, Miss Strange explained. “They were nature’s floral tribute to those who died,” she said, “and as soon as The Ameri- ( can Legion and Auxiliary were organized after the war, we made them our memorial flower. When more young Americans gave their lives in Europe’s poppy studded fields in World War 11, the poppy became their memor ial flower, too, and it now sig- i nifies rememberance for Ameri-I ca’s war dead, no matter in what part of the world they gave their lives.” The poppies received here are the work of disabled veterans in the Georgia hospitals where pop py making is directed by the Georgia Department of the Auxiliary. The veterans not only earn badly needed money by making the little red flowers, but the employment is consider ed valuable as occupational therapy. The local Auxiliary pays $25 per 1,000 for the poppies, the money going to veterans who make them. Except for this amount paid out for the poppies, t 1 the remainder of the funds re main in this county to assist local veterans and their families. ALL INVITED TO I JOIN LOCAL P.-T. A.

Men Should Be Careful of Example They Sei—Oberl Men' each day are setting an example for the youth of the land and should be very careful about the example they set. The Rev. Leßoy Obert, speak ing- at the Summerville-Trion Rotary Club yesterday, empha sied the fact that a child gets its basic Christian teaching in youth movements such as Scouts, F. F. A.. 4-H Cluns etc., as well as in Sunday School and church. In these clubs the positive procedure is followed instead of negative, he said. The child is not told to refrain from doing things that are wrong, but in stead he is kept busy doing worthwhile things. The speaker urged the men I of the community to give of their j time to scouting movement be -1 cause it is more far-reaching than Sunday School as about one-half of the families in Amer i ica are in some way connected i with scouting.

Coal dealers in Menlo report that they have no coal whatso ever and the two dealers con tacted in Summerville said also that they were out. The manager of one Summer ville coal company said they sold out Tuesday after allotting the small supply they had on hand. He said it would take from six to eight days to get coal even after the strike ends. Another coal dealer said the situation here is bad and that many people are suffering be cause of the lack of coal. He said that it had been almost fdur weeks since he has had any and that it will take eight to ten days for it to arrrive here after the strike is settled. “We don’t see any hope for more coal now, but hope to soon,” this dealer said. All of the in dustrial plants in this area are continuing on schedule and most don’t anticinate a shut down because of the coal. Officials at the Montgomery Knitting Mill, Summerville, said thev have a good three-week’s supply of coal on hand, but after that they would have to curtail production if more coal isn’t made available.
