We sincerely regret any inconvenience we may have caused you. enote349-96 z0 (Ont)/6(Ont) Christmas can be the loneliest time of the year When many families are in the comfort of their homes with warmth and plenty of food, it is hard to believe that there are still families today that live with less than enough resources to see them through this festive time of the year. On December 25th, when most of us will be sitting down to a turkey dinner opening up numerous presents i.hat we give to our friends and family, there will be those who scrape together what they can and maybe recycle some gifts from previous years. There is no harm in that yet we live in a country where there is so much given to us and so much that we obtain so many material possessions around us, it is hard to believe that there are those that can not supply their family with the basic necessities. At Christmas our hearts go out to those who find themselves less fortunate than we, and it is at Christmas time that we can show the great love and give thanks for the many things that we do have by sharing it with others. Our work at the Salvation Army goes beyond the parameters of Christmas and reaches out to the full twelve months of the year. Nearly 60 families a month come to us for help of food, clothing, sometimes shelter and medical needs. Wouldn't it be nice if you could give a gift this Christmas, a gift that would last beyond just the date of December 25th? A gift that would last throughout this next year. We ask that you help us meet the needs of those less fortunate. Why not take the time and some of your resources and give to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. Mail your donation to the address below and in doing that, you help make someone's Christmas bright for this year. Help us meet the need. Give generously and share the gift of Christmas this year. God bless you and have a Merry Christmas. Captain Bram Reid r� 'Send Receipt To: ENCLOSED IS MY GIFT OF: , THE SALVATION ARMY P.O. Box 29 St. Marys.
