SHARE YOUR TALES OF CHRISTMAS '45

Last summer, many of you called at our request and told us wonderful stories about where you were on V-J Day.

Now, we'd like to hear about where you were on Christmas in 1945.

Were you a sailor still stationed in the Pacific, happy the war was over but still homesick and longing for a holiday with your family?

Were you one of the soldiers packing trains to head home?

And what about families who had spent so many months praying for the safe return of sons, brothers, sweethearts and fathers?

Call INFOLINE by Dec. 12 at 640-5555 and press HOME (4663). Give us a brief description of that Christmas, your name and phone number and we'll try to get back to as many callers as possible for more information. by CNB
