Few, if any of us, will" celebrate" Christmas this year as we Americans usually do ,
for many of us have someone very close and very dear serving with the Armed
Forces of our Nation somewhere in this Country or along one of the many and
far-flung battle fronts over the world.

Most of us, though , do feel a little closer to one another-have a better under-
standing of the true meaning of " Good Will Toward Men," and some knowledge
of the meaning of sacrifice.
So we say to you: "Thank You"-for your patience with us, for all the goodness
you have shown us, during this second year of War.
During the past two years, the part we have played in the National effort has
necessarily been small in comparison with that of many other and larger firms.
However, our contribution has been wholehearted and sincere. Frankly , we cannot
reconcile big profits and soft jobs with days and nights in a foxhole or in the
crow's nest of a tossing destroyer on patrol. Our normal business was not sacri-
ficed for a War Contract with lush profits.

And, with this in mind, we say: "May this Christmas Season bring to you a generous
measure of peace, both in heart and mind, together with the needed courage and
determination to continue devoting every effort that will be helpful to Victory and
that future day when you and we and all the peoples of the world may again know
'Peace on Earth'."
When that day comes , we are confident that all of us will have more " Good Will
Toward Men " in our hearts.
Sincerely,
*

When weighed against the sacrifices our fighting men have made and are making,
nothing you or we have given up or will have to give up in the way of normal
business, pleasures, profits or comforts can ever balance the scales.
