than expected. Atwood requested

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 mostof-usrwill. be sitting down to a turkey dinner opening up numerous presents
that we give to our friends and family. there will be those whoscrape together what
they can and maybe recycle, some gifts from previous years. There is no harm in that
yet welive ira-a country where there is so mnch 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 heartg go nut to those•who find, themselves less:fortunate..than we, and it is at Christmas time that we can
show the great love arid give thanks for the -many things that we, do have, by sharing,it with others.
Our work at the Salvation' Army goes beyond the.parartleters of Christmas and reaches out"to the full twelve months of the
year. Nearly 60 families a month -come to us rot 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
