POPPY DAY ON SATURDAY

An Appeal

The Stratford and District Returned Soldiers’ Association ask you to help them this day so that they in turn may help those upon whom misfortune has laid a hard hand, writes Col. L. H. Jardinc. The association asks that all men will wear a poppy on Anzac Day in remembrance of the brave men who died-for their country—in doing this they will help to provide a little towards those funds, which are always low, which go to assist in alleviating the distress amongst disabled soldiers, and provide a small amount of subsidised work. We ask again for your kind assistance and hope that under the more straitened circumstances of to-day you will he even more generous—to make possible our help to these men for the ensuing year. We acknowledge with sincere thanks your previous efforts on our behalf and wish to remind you that

whatever you give we pass on, without deductions, to those deserving cases amongst your citizens who work for you, who have fought for you, and who have a right to live. Can you help? We are sure you can. To-day it is had. but times of 1915-18 were far worse; your men lived in hell then for the liberty of this country.
