Christmas candles will burp brighter this year
and Christmas turkeys have a new and special flavour
for the thousands of Canadians who will be sitting
down to their first Christmas dinner with the family
cirle complete. And minyta childish face will glow
in the candlelight because 'dad" takes his place at
the head of the table again — with his strange tales
frOm Italy, from France, Germany or the Pacific.
But even as the candles are It and the heaped
plates go round, Canadians will pause and-repembei-----
remember those family groups that will never be
complete—those thousands of desolate and homeless
in Europe — that great army of children who have
been frightened and 'hurt and starved by a war not
of their making.
••••e:.,
Let us therefoce make a sblemn resolve never
again to allow the *powers of darkness —:greed,
selfishness and mistrust—toput out the candles of
Christmas, those brave lights that syMbolize the warm
rove and kindness that came into the world two
thousand years ago.
