Bltr even ac flirt candies aro lit and the t — 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, Let us therefore make a solemn resolve never again to allow the powers of darkness -- greed, selfishness and mistrust --to put out the candles of Christmas, those brave lights that symbolize the warm Jove and kindness that came into the world two thousand years ago. cher Pvvlx ctU r. ✓ and rD Sti, h� sto THE HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTA
