With children of all ages looking forward to the holiday's as they anticipate the getting and giving of presents, it is sometimes difficult to remember that the real spirit of the holiday season is spiritual rather than material. For Christians it is the birth of their Savior; for Jews, the rededication of the Temple. Let the emphasis fall in the right place. Use The Classifieds I With the world in deep trou- ! ble. a wish for a "happy holi day" is not very meaningful to a thoughtful person. Rather. I let the spirit of the season -- ! faith, hope, and love -- make yours a "b.'essed holiday." wfth a MEYER SHOW PUMii Pi•lS¥:-l.'xW x FOrXDATION RECORDINGS Through its Talking Book facilities.
