Message To Men Overseas OU have listened Sunday by Sunday to the personal messages from our soldiers overseas. Perhaps it has seemed to you that they all say the same things. You may even have wished sometimes that you could write their messages. for them, or at least sub-edit them, Well, here is your chance. Christmas is coming. Prepare a message of not fewer than 50 or more than 75 words that you would like to send to your own son overseas-about as much as he could send to you in halt-a-minute before the microphone. For the best of these messages we shall pay one guinea, and for the next two half- -a-guinea each; but in addition to paying for thern, we shall arrange, if that is the wish of the writers, that the messages themselves shall be included in the Christmas broadcast to the troops overseas. This means that you must post your entries to us not later than November 15, 1941. You may send as many entries as you wish, but each must be accompanied by a coupon cut from this or a later issue of "The Listener."
