And though everyone fries to make Chrisimas as gay as possible where he is; as kright as the service club decorations may be; as sirong as the fricndships he may have made with those now near to him--yel so far from home, all his thoughis will be with you, AT HOME, this Christmas! . And thoagh your thoughts are of him-~there’s a differ- ence. You still are in the cheerful atmosphere of your house- hold. You siill are surrounded by loved ones. You can only imagine his life “ou there.” But he’s living it: and the realiy of that life contrasts starkly with the warmer reality of his memories of “home.” That's why we must all be unceasing in our efforls to end this war soon and hring him 1o the home he’s dreaming of this Christmas. Thal's why we must buy more War Bonds than we even think we can-—-Thal’s why above all, we must give the preseni with a future . . . this Christmas. § by
