Recognition of A Worthy Cause
Memorial Day Sale of Poppies
This, in essence is the annual appeal of the "Buddy
Poppies", those little scarlet symbols of Memorial
Day and all that they stand for in American life.
This year, we will wear these flowers with a
realization of their deep significance. These "Buddy
Poppies," thousands on thousands in the buttonholes
of America, say to the youth of today, that we honor
the gallant heroes who served the cause of our country
and the traditions for which democracy stands.
Just as we keep the faith with their gallantry, so,
too, we keep the faith with the gallantry of those
youths of yesterday, the boys of that other World
War, which for some has never ended.
Each year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars conduct
their Buddy Poppy Sale throughout the country during
the week of IMemorial Day to raise funds for relief
work. The Buddy Poppies are made by disabled ex-service
men, patients in government hospitals, and are
guaranteed by a distinguishing green label, which is
co pyrighted by the ^'eterans of Foreign Wars.
Some of the proceeds are also used for the support
of the V.F.W. National Home for Widows and Orphans
of Ex-Service ^Men at Eaton Rapids, Michigan.
The warm commendation by President Roosevelt
of this sale continues the endorsement of all the Pres-idents
since the inception of the sale.
The cordial support of church leaders and women's
clubs, of individuals and organizations, representing
practically every phase of the nation's business and
industrial life, confirm the significance of the sale's
appeal.
You can add your personal endorsement to this
worthy cause. "Keep the Faith" with those who kept
theirs at great sacrifices!
Wear a Buddy Poppy on Memorial Day!
Wonder Homes
Boon To Aircraft
Factory Workers
At last a developer has con-structed
some outstanding homes
within a few minutes of the
G r u m m a n Aircraft factory.
These homes 'are priced right
and are located in Hicksville,
but a few minutes drive from
the Grumman factory and
feature construction found only
in higher priced homes. They
are located in one of the finest
and yet lowest taxed sections
in this vicinity.
The construction of homes of
this type, unapproachable in
value and conveniences, is a boon
to the community.
The location of the Wonder
Homes offer many conveniences.
Grade Schools, Parochial Schools
and a hig!i school within Vvalking
distance. Churches of e v e ry
donomi;;alion and s'lops ol" every
kind are nearby to fill the daily
needs. Jones Boach and other
beaches, Betlipago State Park
and many other facilities for
recreation are nearby.
Itrpresentatives of the News-gram
have inspected these
homes and have found them to
be everything their builder
claims. In short, a wonderful
buy for the price asked. See

Motor Car
Production
To Be Cut
Current eagerness to buy
automobiles for fear that the
preparedness program might in-terfere
with production, was
justified in part when William S.
Knudsen of the Office of Pro-duction
^Management announced
that car output beginning August
1 will be reduced by an "initial
20 per cent." This means a cur-tailment
of approximately 1,000,-
000 units to conserve skilled labor
and vital materials £or defense
work.
The number of 1942 models,
pending further curtailment as
defense needs require, will be
restricted to about 4,000,000 cars
and trucks, compared with some
5,000,000 units expected to be

We give our youngsters."
