The
Flame
of
Freedom
has burned perilously low at times
during the last three years.
It appeared as though it may have been in danger of
being extinguished on many occasions.
Now with the tide turning against the aggressor that
flame burns bright again with renewed hope . . . .
Hopes that we may all soon enjoy again —
A PEACEFUL AND HAPPY. CHRISTMAS
With all good wishes for the future, our sincere
regards for the present, and with our great appreciation of
your goodwill in the past.
