Explained: Dummy Bombs
BY the Assoeloted Press

Christmas Sealed

Signed, Christmas Sealed, and delivered to the post office-your Christmas cards. That's one of the holiday tasks ahead that most of us enjoy. Happy memories are recalled as we sign these annual messages of good will to our friends. And there's a special pleasure in adding pair of Christmas Seals to the flap of the envelope to symbolize our message of good will to the whole community.
 Americans are the most gen. erous people in the world. Every year they contribute billions to charity, and especially during the holiday season their hands are outstretched to give so that as many as possible may share in celebrating this happy time. But the Christmas Seals we use repre- sent much more than charity to- ward the sick and unfortunate. They represent a gift for the vel fare of the entire community, a gift for ourselves.
