Red Cross Sends Greetings

Br United PrH
Throughout the world on
dusty, gray coral atolls, on sun
baked desertland, on mud-plastered
island bases, on Ice-crusted
battlefields, on ships rolling in
gale-swept seas, and in warm,
comfortable camps right here at
home, the men and women of
the U. S. armed forces over the
week-end began their celebra
tion of Christmas.
For many, it is hard to get
excited about Christmas as the
angry cannon roar out in mock
ery against the scriptural injunc
tion: Peace on earth; good will
toward men. But neither shot
nor shell; mud nor rain, beat
nor cold, have dimmed the
Christmas spirit.
Misery holds no prejudices
toward race or nationality. And
the international committee of
the Red Cross has recognized
this by extending holiday greet
ings t the more than 8,000,000
war prisoners held in thousands
of camps in belligerent nations
throughout the world Ger
mans, Japanese, Italians, French
and Americans.
"The committee is well aware
of your sorrows and anxieties,"
it said in world-wide short-wave
radio broadcasts. "It also realizes
how much more painful the ab
sence from home becomes with
the passing of time.
"With that thought in mind,

There's only one spirit that merits applause in
the Army. That's the spirit of a good soldier.

Vracs have displayed the spirit that marks good
soldiering in every war theater of the world,

In jeeps and planes, at switchboards and type
writers, in jobs that demand highly specialized
' technique In countless crucial tasks which
women handle best.
Army men hold immense admiration for this
spirit of competence and gallantry . .

This Ad Bponsored In the Interest oi Victory By
Snider Dairy &
Produce Company
the International committee of
the Red Cross and its three
thousand collaborators in Swit
zerland and abroad devote all
their energies to bring you help
and assistance, and they all send
you, as well as the ones you
love, their sincere good wishes.
For those millions of Ameri
cans far from home, packages
from parents and sweethearts.
have helped, at least, to create
the,, illusion of Christmas. In
some places, Yankee Ingenuity
has added to this illusion.
Sgt. George H. Mattle, a ma
rine corps combat correspond
ent, writing from "everywhere
in the Pacific," says its' the
packages that do the trick no
matter what they contain. One
of the happiest GI's in the Pa
cific, he relates, was the Joe
who got a gift of a necktie,
beautiful piece of haberdashery
with light blue and pale yellow
flowers rampant on a blood red
field.
Turkey, which is going to be
conspicuous by its absence from
lots of tables here at home, is
the order of the day out in the
field and in training camps.

PUN CHANGES IN
AGRICULTURE ACT
Salem, Ore.; Dec. 23. (U.R)
Reorganization of the existing
"patchwork" laws pertaining to
agriculture generally and to the j
dairy industry in particular will
be recommended to the state leg
islature in January, E. L. Peter
son, director of the agriculture
department said In his message
to the legislature, released today.
Evidence seems to be suffic
ient, the message said, "to war
rant that all dairy products be
required to be pasteurized. In
any event, our present legisla
tion on pasteurization needs cor
rection." The confusion concerning the
fluid milk standards might be re
moved by , legislative action,
Peterson declared. Positive defi
nition of such standards and pos
itive specification of authority
for enforcement were reeonv
mended. :
