If our people did not find out that today is Poppy Day it was because they remained at home.
Pickets from the Woman’s Auxiliary of the American Legion were posted in different portions of the town and sold the poppies to everybody.
These poppies cost the wearer 10 cents, and one man said it was worth 10 cents to have one of these pretty girls pin a flower on his coat. And so it was.
From The Daily Southerner, Tarboro, N.C., Tuesday, May 30, 1922.
