Local Merchants Plan Fourth of July Closing
In POINT PLEASANT the merchants division of the chamber of commerce discussed plans to celebrate the Fourth of July and to close on Thursday afternoons during summer. In GALLIPOLIS the American Legion Auxiliary will hold its annual poppy sale next Saturday with red paper replicas of the flower of Flanders. Girls Scouts will canvass downtown and veterans will staff the effort under Mrs. W. E. Elliott, with two thousand poppies expected from Sandusky. Tobacco planting has begun in the district south of the Kanawha as farmers use base allocations for rehabilitation and child welfare funds. Last year the Auxiliary distributed over 19 million poppies nationwide to honor fallen soldiers and support disabled veterans.
