Christmastide, hallowed season of
joy and happiness, thia year finds
all of ua in America striving con­
stantly to hasten the day of Vic­
tory. Nevertheless it is fitting
that we should pause both to re­
call our Christmas days of yester­
year and to look forward into the
future with profound confidence
and hope. We people of Safeway
—including those who have taken
leave of absence to join the fight­
ing forces— unite in sincerely
wishing every one of you a Merry
Christmas! May your families be
happy and well. May your din­
ners be hearty. And may the
Christmas prayers cf all of us be
answered, “So that peace may
prevail for all mankind ...”
