'IVA!{ BRouGR1 HOME
Only one year ago we wore gnyly
preparing for n joyous Christmas when
we were unexpectedly blnstod tnto a
fiery furnace. Dn.zed nnd unbelieving
we blindly continued our unnocosanry ox•
penditures, and wo hurriodly pushed our
efforts toward a ho.ppy Christmo.a, trying
to forget for one briot moment whnt hnd
happened. Since then we have sadly be
come awo.re of some of tho phases or a.
war that affect tho human rnce. Wo havo
beon trying desperately to accustom our
selves to the trials and tribulations
suffered by individuals. Now nnothor
Christmas is nen.r ·-a Christmas that is
surrounded by misery and douth. Cnn wo
forget about tho wo.r for one short spnoc
of t~e or can wo forget tho holy ttmo
of Christmo.s forovor? Shall wo spend

we blindly continued our unnocosanry ox•

to forget for one briot moment whnt hnd
happened. Since then we have sadly be
come awo.re of some of tho phases or a.

beon trying desperately to accustom our
selves to the trials and tribulations
suffered by individuals. Now nnothor
