LYFORD, Editor PLAN YOUR CHRISTMAS SPONSORING EARLY I WHAT IS MORE IN KEEPING WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE COMING SEASON THAN TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CUBAN REFUGEES? The season of remembrance and giving is only weeks away. In much of the world it is a time for reaffirmation of faith, a time of dedication to high ideals, good cheer and bright outlook for the future. But what of the Cuban families in Miami whose faith turned them to the sacrifice of all they held dear in their homeland? For some it will be another Christmas without opportunity for self-support and life in the dignity of the freedom they sought. How would YOU and your community react to appeals like this: GIVE YOUR COMMUNITY A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
