TO ALL OFFICERS, N.C.O.'S AND MEN IN SEAFORD AREA—GREETING :

WAR and war restrictions have done much to destroy the spirit of the old-time festivals surrounding the Christmas season.

The thought in planning the programmes for Christmas week by the Y.M.C.A. has been to assist in creating an atmosphere of good cheer and merriment, consistent with the spirit of Christmas, even in these times.

There has been no limit imposed on the feast of good things provided, and it is hoped that every soldier in Seaford Area will have the opportunity to enjoy the various activities, a few of which are here outlined.

Trusting that out of the great world struggle, in which you have played, and are to play, a manly part, will come a real happiness and peace on earth and good-will to all men.

WITH BEST WISHES for A MERRY CHRISTMAS 1917, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 1918.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION with the OVERSEAS MILITARY FORCES OF CANADA.
