for the women. Proceeds of
the sale of Poppies are usd to carry

or physically handicapped/'
Commander Dominic Pellicio said.
"Every cent derived from 'the
_sales_oE—V.F.W. Buddy Poppies is
spent in veteran dependent wel-fare
and rehabilitation worK," he'
added. "The combined efforts of
thousands of individuals, veterans
who jwant to 'be a budcfy,' have been
responsible for the success of past
Buddy Poppy sales. Their desire
to help less fortunate comrades—
in) the same way they would-Uke-to-bje

blasts of the vast V.F.W. rehabllita-

experts as the best in the world,
"The .need of V.F.W. assistance
to veterans has never been greater.

to the capitalization, and incurred
a bonded indebtedness of $40,000,-
000. In that time, he continued, it
has received only $18,000,000 in
dividends. He cited other statls:
tics, remarking that th'e Long Island
went into the red $4,000,000 in 1947
despite a $43,000,000 income.
