The season's message centers on wartime faith and reunion as Christmas remembrances travel overseas. Homefront cards echo the Nativity tale and a shared longing for peace, with many messages delivered to troops abroad as families seek spiritual unity despite distance.
A nostalgic piece celebrates the rise of old fashioned Christmas cards reflecting farm life. Vivid scenes of a warm kitchen stove turkey on view, squash and pudding bowls, a parlor tree beside a harmonium, and cows in the barn share a welcome home spirit.
Many servicemen face battlefield fires and learn modern fire prevention. The Army Engineers ran a school to train thousands in handling gasoline oil and ammunition fires, using high pressure sprays and asbestos suits. The training, while wartime, is expected to make veterans safer at home and influence families toward greater caution with flammable materials.
The piece argues reformers cannot stop the pursuit of prosperity. It credits basic industries, especially coal, for advancing productivity through research and expanded markets. Coal is showcased in many products and home heating, with the Bituminous Coal Institute promoting efficient, cleaner burning coal.
