VICTORY IS OURS

The War Bond Committee headed by
Major NJ j. Lynch, extends congratulations
to the members Of the Fort Huachuca garrison
and the 372nd Infantry for the fine showing
which the Post has made in the Sixth War
Bond Drive.
For us to reach our goal thirteen days be-
fore the closing date of the campaign, with
personnel considerably smaller than that which
attained similar goal during the Fourth War
Bond Drive, last January demonstrates de-
votion to duty and our firm determination to
do our BIT toward winning the war on our end
THE DRIVE is NOT OVER however,
THE WAR WE ARE FIGHTING is NOT
OVER! The chart page four shows that each
organization has not yet its quota and there are
many soldiers and employees here who have
not participated in this drive either by direct
purchase or by allotment or payroll deduction
although 95 per cent Of the Posts personnel
are making contributions. We are in this war
100 per cent. We have until December 81 to
continue the drive. Let US participate in it 90
per cent! Victory is ours, but it is victory in
this battle alone. he war is yet to be won!
Our congratulations are again yours for
your excellent showing thus far The War
Bond Committee extends to you it's BEST
WISHES for the coming holidays

Welcome Savior
By DAVID D. HORTON
372nd Inf. Regt.

We celebrate with JOY today
The birth Of the Great Divine,
Who was gift to the world from God
To teach, bless and refine.
We consider this day sacred one
The greatest of the year
We are thankful for this gift from God,
And welcome our Savior here.
Today we greet every heart
With good wishes and happy cheer
We shall spend every moment with sacred JOY
To welcome our Savior here.
We welcome the ones who followed Him, >
And now rest in the grave;
And the ones who praised Him after He died,
And carried His word rghteously and brave.
We welcome the Holy Angels, :
And the star that shone so bright; =
Oh yes, the little pile Of manger
In which He was born that night
On this day bow and pray, =
After our happy joys and cheers
That the One whose birth we honor today
Will guide us through many happy years.

Christmas With You

Christmas with you, how sweet would be,
My heart would jump for Joy.
For you would make my Christmas white
And nothing would annoy
Christmas with you would sure be grand,
I'd ask for nothing more.
No other gift could sweeter be
Than the girl that | adore.
Christmas with you and your sweet smi
Would mean so much to me.
Yes, you and together again,
AS happy can be.
Dear love Of mine, it is my prayer
That this may soon be through,
So that when next Christmas comes
I'll spend it, dear, with you.

And is longer than distance

To the field in the valley below;

Christmas Message

Post Commander
From
Post Commander

This is our fourth War Christmas In spite
Of tradition, it is not time to be merry when
so many of our people are suffering hardships
and giving their lives battlefieds all
the world.
Nevertheless, have much for which to
be thankful. Our progress since last Christmas
has been such as to fill our hearts with gratitude
and hope | feel that the keynote of this Christ
mas should not be one Of merrfent, but rather
a time for rededcating each of ourselves to the
best performance of our respectively assigned
tasks The end Of this is yet in sight
and this is no time take anything for granted.
Our cause is in the defense of the principles of
Christ whose birthday we honor. This thought
should give us renewed strength and courage
to carry steadfasty on.

Let Us Remember
By WILBEKT NATHAN SAVAGE

When Germany and Japan have
bowed in decisive and final defeat be-
fore the overwhelming strength of
the Allies, let us not hastily forget
the fragrant, heinous crimes of the
enemy and their utter disregard for
human laws.
Forgiving the enemy for many will
not be difficult; for others it will be
an impossibility. But whether OF not
we go in for collective pardon of the
enemy in our individual minds, let us
remember the uncounted, unrecorded
atrocities of the enemy which were
fendish and wicked in the highest
degree. Let US remember their every
barbonic motive; their boastful, dOmi-
neering arrogance; their blind devo-
ton to ridiculous ideals, and their I'M
reasoning determination to fight and
prolong the struggle that daily eX-
acts a toll of human life from the
ranks of those who challenge the
power of the foe.
Let US, in fairness to the veterans
of today and tomorrow, and in honor
of those whose lives have been given,
remember that Germany will need
only relaxation of the United Ma
tons firmness and a fanatical leader
to stage REPETITION Of this world
conflict.
Let US remember that Japan's adj
vantageuos position in the world pic
ture is fully realized by shrewd Nip
-ponese leaders. Never must we again
provide a corridor through which
these Oriental thugs can march tli-
umphantly to a similar hard-to-ap-
proach setting-a setting that by
virtue of its surroundings presents a
great barrier to every champion Of
democratic living.
Let US hold in memory all these
things-and more. Japan and Ger
many will remember. VIII We?

minutes. Remove from the fire and
when cool, add y cup orange juice, ;
tablespoons lemon juice, and either a
little green coloring and mint flavor
ing or red coloring and almond flavor
ing Stir in l cup finely chopped nuts
and allow mixture to stand until it
begins to thcken. Stir again before
pouring into a wet pan; have the layer
of paste about an inch thick. Let

the candy into cubes, and roll in
powdered sugar.
Fruit balls: Wash and dry l cup
