With the help of many fellows from Calipatria and other people outside the city, they donated money for flowers in honor of Helen's memorial.
When the mayor went to the hospital to see Harry he took the money to him. Harry was amazed by the kindness that was brought about from friends, neighbors, and customers. Harry felt that he had to give something back to the people in return. Harry then thought about taking into consideration the flagpole that had always been joked about. The thought of having a fund for the flagpole was then created into a "Build the Flagpole" campaign.
Harry wound up winning another auto and got numerous endowments, the greatest of every one of them was Momita accepting $1000 in real money with the goal that he could assemble Calipatria's flagpole!
