PAGE FOURTEEN THE PIOUA DAILY CALL THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1945 --Advertisement From where I sit Joe Marsh. Black Market Versus Brighter Meals I guess our town doesnt like rationing any better than other folks. But when a fellow went from door to door the other day, peddling btttter, cheese, and bacon withotrt points, he didnt find a single taker. Ed Carey's misstts, Sarah, summed it up. "I'd just be ashamed to hare that butter on my table," Sarah says.

"I'd a heap rather have my famfly and gneste put wp wltfc what I can serve honestly, than give 'em a treat the Black Market" These days, most people are agreed that a simple menu of un- rationed foods and substitutes is a badge of no apologies required! And from where I sit, house- can brighten limited meals with cheerfnl table decorations, cparkHng eider or tangy ice-cold beer, or side dishes of homemade preserves and finks and nuts. Those little touches can he mighty helpfml to the appetite. fr MAY 26 DATE FOR ANNUAL SALES OF POPPIES IN CITY I Poppies to honor America's dead warriors of two World Wars will be worn in Piqua on Saturday, May 26. Mrs. Raleigh Alexander, President of Paul Schnell Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, announced today.

The little red flowers will pay tribute both to those men who have I died for their country in the present war and to those who fell 27 years ago in France and Belgium among the swaying poppies. The money that is received for the flowers will be used to aid the afflicted veterans of both wars and their families. Extensive preparations for the observance of Poppy Day are being made by the Piqua Unit of the Auxiliary here under the leadership of Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Geo Effinger Unit Poppy chairman.

Everyone in the city will be able to buy the flowers of remembrance from the many volunteer workers from the Auxiliary who will be on the streets all through the day. The flowers are made of paper on the pattern of the wild poppy of Flanders. They have been ordered from the Soldier and Sailors Home, Sandusky where disabled veterans made them under the direction of the Ohio Department of the Auxiliary. Making the poppies has helped these veterans keep their minds and fingers occupied, causing the otherwise tedious months to pass quickly and at the same time furnishing the men with a means of livelihood. This year it is expected that more Americans than ever before will wish to wear the poppies as a salute to the dead soldiers and their bereaved families, and as a financial aid to the living but disabled soldiers and their needy families.
