Uncle Sam and Santa Claus Are Working Hand in Hand THE spirit of Christmas must be kept alive. We must keep the home fires burning and bring as much cheer as possible to the hearts of those whose duty is at home as well as the hearts of the boys in our Army and Navy. The line of supply must be kept intact War work has the right of way. Nothing can stop it, nothing can hinder it. Uncle Sam has a distinct understanding with Santa Claus as to how both ends may be subserved how to make the giving of tokens of affection and friendship a help rather than a hindrance to war work. Through the Council of National t)efense and the State Councils he says Do your Christmas shopping now there must fce no congestion of transporta tion because of a holiday rush later on. . , . Carry packages whenever possible. ' . , Confine your gifts to sensible things except gifts for children. Help keep deliveries down. Avoid special deliveries.
