EMBLEM FOR THE CHILDREN. i DISCUSSION BY EX-SOLDIERS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Tire New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association at the annual meeting to-day decided that the minimum price at which poppies should be sold on Poppy Day was 1/-. There was a diversity of opinion on the subject, and on the vote being taken the motion was carried by 59 votes to 53. It was also decided that a suitable emblem be devised for Poppy Day for children only, to be issued free through the schools, the headmasters to be asked to distribute these as a gift from the N.Z.R.S.A., and to ask the children to contribute their pennies for the purchase of poppies to make wreaths for Anzac Day. Arrangements are to be made for the co-operation of all education boards.
The following motion by Mr. W. Perry was earned: “That headquarters obtain from local associations particulars of their organisation for selling poppies with a view to devising a comprehensive scheme of organisation for Poppy Day.”
