OFFICERS-IN-CHARGE December/f, 1937 Dear Friend: Christmas time is known as a season of happinness and joy-- the time of year when the spirit of goodwill abounds everywhere. When we stop to consider it, what is the basis of it all? Friendship underlies our greatest motives--and it is the spirit of friendship that makes Christmas the beautiful event that. it is. There are still many who need our attention, children with longing hearts and minds, aged people whose Christmas would be barren and sad if we failed them. Yes, this is our annual Christmas appeal for those whose Christmas rests in the hearts and hands of those better situated financially to contribute. In helping us to render assistance to the unfortunate, you not only help them but your own Christmas will be made brighter by feeling you have done your part to relieve the sorrow and distress of the needy. May we be your servants in carrying assistance to those less fortunate? Sincerely yours, Vi Zé OFFICER IN CHARGE N.B. KINDLY MAKE YOUR CHECKS PAYABLE TO THE SALVATION ARMY.
