"A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL"
...from W)om
all Westerns, tlolu
w
m
This is surely a holiday season when
we caii count our blessings.
Our men are surging back victorious
from the worst of all wars. Peace is in
the making. And from our rich fields
and gardens and orchards, food in
abundance has come forth and been
harvested for our holiday feasts, and
for hapless peoples all over the world.
Vet it might have been a grim holiday
indeed. For early last Summer our
country faced a food situation nothing
short of perilous. Our farmers were so
critically short of harvest help that
they needed over 4,000,000 volunteers
to save America's food and fiber crops.
Country Gentleman, as National
Spokesman for Agriculture, laid the
problem before the American people
through a series of advertisements in
236 newspapers all over the United
States. And nearly 6,000,000 men,
women and older children rallied to
the farmers' plight and saved the
nation's foodl
This newspaper was one of those in
which Country Gentleman sounded
the alarm, and you in your community
responded gallantly.
At your big family dinner this year,
pitch in. You've earned the righc to
enjoy itl
r f i
i;Kvi ; v ?m
your tire problems.
