The spirit of Christmas glows deep in the hearts of the
men in our armed forces, no matter where they may be. In
the frigid outposts of the land of the midnight sun Yuletide
is being celebrated. It is Christmas, too, for our boys in the
steaming jungles of the South Pacific, in Africa, China, Britaih
and Brazil. Yank ingenuity
has overcome difficulties of
terrain and distance to cap
ture Christmas cheer and im
provise some of the comforts
of home. Christmas to these
men will lack the proverbial
trimmings and the faccs of
loved ones, but letters from
home will make up for that.
