Sponsored by two Legion auxiliaries, Rhodes Unit No. 2 and Tacoma Unit No. 138, the poster contest preceded the annual Legion poppy sale held May 23rd and 24th. Money collected through the sale of poppies went to aid disabled veterans and needy children of deceased and disabled veterans. From left to right are: Mrs. Haze Coy, poppy poster chairwoman, Tacoma Unit No. 138; Will Poelle; Bernice Pratt; and Mrs. H.J.C. Berg, chairwoman from Rhodes Unit No. 2. (TNT 5/17/1941 p.6)
