THANK YOU
for your cooperation
To the great number of people who responded to the Government’s appeal
not to travel over the holidays, we want to extend our sincere thanks.
Your cooperation enabled us to take care of those who had to travel—the
men of our armed forces. We are sure that the thousands of service men who
were able to get well-earned holiday leaves and furloughs also appreciated
your cooperation in making more room for them on the buses.
