The

There's

in

itself.
Listen!
And
you
can
almost
hear
the

and
the
merry
laugh
of
Old
Saint
Nicfc
as
his

caravan
prances
lightly
o'er

proclaiming
this,
the
brightest
season
of
all
the
year.
It's
Christmas,
no

about
it...
Christmas
with
all
its
fun,
all
its
jollity.
It
may
well
be
a
right
happier
occasion
than
any
we
have
had
for
years.
Let
us
all
forget
our
difficulties
and
doubts,
the
worries
of
business,
the
drudgery
of
our
labor,
the
annoyances
of

everything

is

and
make
the

the

PREMIER
PATTULLO'S
CHRISTMAS
MESSAGE
It
h
a
great
pleasure
to
ajjain
extend
Christmas
greetings
and
good
wishes
to
all,
notwithstanding
that
it
means
that
another
milestone
on
rm
all
too
short
road
has
been
passed.
Life
is
good
even
although
there
is
much
hardship
in
the
world.
The
duty
rests
upon
each
of
us
to
do
what
we
can
in
our
own
sphere
to
cheer
and
help
the
lot
of
others
not
so
fortunate
as
ourselves
The
complexities
of
modem
society
hav
brought
many
new
problems
but
I
believe
that
forces
are
at
work
which
will
make
for
their
solutioiir
Meantime
the
glad
tiding,
"Peace
on
earth,
goodwill
towards
men"
is
the
wish
of
us
all.
