POPPY DAY
BACK in 1917 and 1918 and again in the early forties
Nocona and every other American community sent their
sons off to war with waving flags and promises, that their
old home towns would be back of them, come what followed.
As far as most of us are concerned both wars are over and
written into history, but to thousands for whom the flags
were waved and the promises were made, neither war is
over.
Those thousands are the sons of ’17 and the early
forties who were so badly wounded that they are still hos-
pitalized and most of them always will be.
YOU may have to look twice to see it
—but a lot of the new Buicks have
a soft blue-green tone in all glass areas
—plus a slightly darker band which
shades down from the top of the
windshield.
And you have no idea what comfort all
this adds to hot-weather driving.
Its name is “Easy-Eye Glass’’!—which
tolls only half the story. While it filters
out 18% of the glare (and tones down
ths dazzle of oncoming headlights at
night) — it also cuts down sun-heat as
much as 50%.
So it’s the best cure we know for hot
laps in summer driving, when the sun
beats down on the windshield.

In their behalf and only in their behalf the American
’Legion and its auxiliary some yearis ago struck upon the
idea of having the hospitalized wounded manufacture pop-
pies—poppies which are symbolic of the poppies in France.
Each Memorial day season members of the auxiliary sell
the poppies on the streets to raise funds with which to furn-
ish those who are still fighting a war with such little life’s
necessities that are not furnished by the hospitals—those
little incidentals to most of us, but little luxuries to those
who are confined to four walls and One building.
The auxiliary asks no set price for the poppies,
poppy is sold as cheerfully for a dime as it is for ten dollars.
One-third of the sale proceeds go to the wounded and the
remainder is kept at home and earmarked strictly for child
welfare, for veterans’ children or veterans’ rehabilitation.
Saturday (tomorrow) will be Poppy day in Nocona. This
is the day for all of us to back up our promise to stand by
the boys of ’17 and the forties. Surely there will not be one
poppy left Saturday night, and surely the least we can do
today is to pay not just a nickel or a dime, but more to re-
assure the hospitalized wounded that their faith in the
American people is still well founded.

/ . ’ THE RODEO
WITH the exception, of course, of cheap and undesir-
able entertainment, anything that can attract a crowd to a
community is a worthwhile community project. Among
worthwhile projects in many communities rodeos hold top
place. Some are held in communities which have no con-
nection whatever with the west. We have seen them in
New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago, Indianapolis
and Cleveland, but the real touch of the “old west” isn’t
there.
Here, west of where Amon Carter of Fort Worth’s Star-
Telegram says the "west begins,” there is underway a
movement designed to establish a permanent rodeo for
Nocona. Every cooperation is due those who are promot-
ing the idea. Time has proved that good rodeos attract
big crowds, and when crowds are attracted to any commun-
ity the community as a whole benefits through the spending
a crowd will do. Moreover, it is good publicity for any city
to be known as the home of a good rodeo.

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING
NOCONANS who ride trains for eilher short distances
dr cross-countrv journeys to New York, Washington,
Seattle or San Francisco step upon the train of their choice
with confidence that it will carry them to their destination
on time and safelv. Accidents can hannen. but the creat
American railroad svstem has amassed such a record for
safetv that rail accidents are today an unusual occurrence.
When we sten upon a train we aufomaticallv and with-
out thought place our confidence in this record. And we
place our confidence in the engineers, the firemen who
must take over if the engineer becomes ill n- dies (the
dead man’s nodal nn dinseis stons the train, however, in
case of death). Wa nut our faith in the conductor and
other trainmen, the dispatchers and their automatic signal
system and the telegraphers along the h’ne. Fach one of
these men of the mils has his own nart. Each one is a«
important as the other, but there ?s another groun of rail-
roaders of whom few travelers think and yet the men who
comprise this group are the ones unon all of the others of
the railroad family from the president to the head brake-
man must depend for safety.
They are the sectionmen of whom there are four who
operate out of Nocona on the Katy line. Some months
ago we spent a day with a section crew on the main line of
the Rock Island. It was a revelation to stand by and
observe the skill with which sectionmen go about their
Work under the guidance and direction of their section
boss, a man who must know about all there is to know
how to repair and straighten rails and ties without
interrupting passenger and freight service. These fellows
become so skilled that they can be riding along on their
motor car at 15 or 20 miles an hour and observe a loose
bolt or nut, or a missing bolt or nut as the car nears the
spot. They must be able to feel by vibration of the motor
car any unevenness of the rails. ,
In addition to what thev discover themselves, they
have orders from their roadmaster who has traveled over
the road and who has made notations where repairs ap-
pear to be needed. Equipped only with n small number
of took, but backed by a lot of muscle, sectionmen can do
anything from replace a whole rail to building un a loose
He. They are among the hardest working men in the
country. They and they alone can keen trains moving
safely or wrack them, vet thev get the least credit. Our
flowers far the living this week to Section Foreman Earl

fulness or any other unintentional
circumstances. Property is not
lost in the legal sense when vol-
untarily left by the owner, intend-
ing to pick it up later—even
though he fails to do so. Such
property is “mislaid.”
Thus, if one loses a watch on
the street by having the clasp
break, not knowing where or
when it was dropped, it is legal-
ly “lost.” The same is true of a
fountain pen falling through a
hole in one’s procket unobserved.
In such cases, the finder owns
what he has found against all but
the true owner.
When Left in Public
But when articles are left on
a train or bus, in a public hotel
room, or even when dropped on
a shop floor, under circumstances
indicating that the true owner will
later return to claim them, such
items are not considered lost. The
proper custodian to hold them for
the owners return would be the
proprietor or other person in
charge. Remaining unclaimed,
the property sometimes goes to
this custodian, sometimes to the
