Ford Calls Them a Badge of Patriotism. An appeal to all patriotic citizens to wear a poppy on Saturday was issued today by James C. Ford, commander of Franklin Post of the American Legion. Describing the poppy as a badge of patriotism, Commander Ford asked, that it be worn by everyone in the city during the annual observance of Poppy Day to show a united front for America. In his appeal the Legion commander said: "The poppy is the memorial flower of our comrades who fell in France.

We wear it to honor their memory and to aid those who were disabled, their families and the families of the dead. Wearing the poppy is our individual way of showing that we remember and are grateful for the sacrifices made in the cause of patriotism. "Symbolic of life sacrifices for America, and made by men who have sacrificed health and strength for the country, the memorial poppy is a true badge of patriotism. With our country again facing grave dangers, we need to wear the badge and to wear it with sincere devotion to the things for which it stands. Therefore, I am appealing to all patriotic citizens of Franklin to join with the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary in the observance of Poppy Day on Saturday, Nov.

7, by wearing an American Legion memorial poppy." The poppies, which have been at veterans' hospitals, will be distributed throughout the city by volunteer workers from the American Leed for the flowers will go into the gion Auxiliary.
