There will be of Mason, civic, fraternal service organizations and people of Shel- ; ton and ]ason county: Some four years ago WAR en- tered into the life of every man, woman and child in these United States. This war called into ser- vice all people of ur country in some form of sacrllice. The cream of our young men and boys were called for the su- preme sacrifice if needed and these men and boys did not ques- tion why and wherefor they crawled into trucks, hitch-hiked on the higlways and used any means available to report for duty. THEY KNEW they were not all coming back alive, they knew many of them would be brought back in boxes, still they did not question the need for sacrifice of their lives, They were told by radio, news- paper and every means of com- munication that the people of this country depended upon them to keep our American way of life intact. Industry, civic, fraternal and service organizations, business and pleasure alike were very out- spoken in promising their eternal gratitude if only they could be allowed to carry on as they had no charge• The head of the committees is before.

Well, all that seems to me still dreamland, though I know every- one works for it over here.

That way I am thinking of the millions back in the old countries, ,hoping that soon they will be able to enjoy such life as you people have here so that the meaning of Christmas may at last be realized, and to the earth be peace and oodwill henceforth and haven to man begin and ,never cease.
