JHERE i* one
sacred trust we at
home must keep for
each man in uniform who is dear to us: and that is the
warmth and cheer of the home he is fighting his hard
est to return to at the soonest possible date!
Whether Christmas morning may find him deep
in a jungle sweating under camouflaged garb or fly
ing over enemy boundaries in Europe, on a bombing
mission or wrapped in fur robes at an Arctic base^
the spirit of Christmas will be gloriously alive, radiat
ing from his visualization of how YOU are keeping
this Christmas at home-for his sake!
The tree may be smaller this year but the brilli
ance of its trimmings, even if home-made, will shine
out to say “Merry Christmas” to your hero. The chil
dren may get less costly, more practical gifts, so that
more money could go into War Bonds but their enjoy
ment and laughter will ring out to echo “Merry Christ
mas” to that man in uniform!
No matter what sacrifices we are rightly making
through the year-no matter what loneliness fills our
hearts for those in battle-on December 25th let us hold
our chins high, put a sparkle in our eye-and bring
Christmas joy to everyone we can! . Our fighting men
wish it so!

c Happy New Year
He'll reed and re-read a dozen time*, every letter
from home . . . every greeting card. He’ll unwrap and
fondle every gift sent to him from mother, father, sis
ter, sweetheart, friends.
For these things speak of home. And though ev
eryone tries to make Christmas as gay as possible
where he is; as bright as the service club decorations
may be; as strong as the friendships he may have made
wifh those now near to him-yet so far from home, all
his thoughts will be with you, AT HOME, this Christ
mas!
And though your thoughts are of him - there s a
difference. You are still in the cheerful atmosphere
of your household. You still are surrounded by loved
ones you can only imagine his life out there . But
he’s living it: and the reality of that life contrasts
starkly with the warmer reality of his memories of
“home”.
That’s why wc iust all be unceasing in our efforts
to end this war soon and bring him to the home he s
dreaming of this Christmas. That’s why we must buy
more War Bonds than we even think we can — That •
why above all, we must give the present with a future
. . . this Christmas.
