CHEERFUL CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
For this third war Christmas the time-honored greet-
ing of “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” seems a
bit out of place, when ten million homes in the land have
either been bereft or are watching the daily events with
more or less apprehension.
Thus our passing greetings may be restrained to some
‘cxtent, and limited to expreSsions of hope for the best in
the exchange of the season; for behind it all there is the
sobering thought that America is in-the midst of war and
all that means to every home and family. ‘
But the basic thought reverts to V_ the beginning of*
l the Christian World and the long eras of “Peace on Earth
and Good Will to Men" that have prevailed almost un-'
broken through the generations; and the fervent hope-
enduring peace will Soon return and the families again

in the national war debt load, as of 1944, is $1,600 in round
