Poppy Day Proclaimed by Nelsonville Mayor Miles Howe
Nelsonville designates Saturday May 26 as Poppy Day by proclamation. Proceeds from poppy sales by veterans and the Glenford Dugan Post Auxiliary fund relief and rehabilitation. Grill Scouts of the legal community will handle poppy sales directed by Mrs W H Hyde, earning 20 percent of proceeds. The rest supports local welfare work and requires citizens to wear a poppy. A separate note reports Mrs Freda Dilcher undergoing major surgery in Cleveland with favorable prospects.

Fullerton's Roundup notes Red Dutton hopes to secure a league presidency this summer as hockey seeks its own major league stature. Lt Com Myles Lane, ex Dartmouth star and former NY district attorney aide, is a leading but non Canadian candidate, while owners demand a 40ish legal-trained Canadian-adjacent figure.
