Statement on Ministry of Heal- h-Budget Letter". (Dec. 5th issue). 'he opinion I express are my personal opinions nd do not reflect on any other organizations r persons in which I hold executive capacit- es. ~ can appreciate your Boards concern and frus- ration in your attempts to formulate your 1974 expenditure budget, in light of the Min- CHrisTMAS Musicians, by Norman Rockwell. Courtesy Hallmark Cards, Inc. Christmas Nostalgia Portrayed By America's Favorite Artist Norman Rockwell is perhaps better qualified than any other artist to portray a typically American Christmas scene. In this illustration of a trio of quaint-looking musi- cians playing carols in the street, he has captured the flavor of an old-fashioned Christmas in a small town.
