Santa and Director of Public Relations Frank Poole watch Myrtis Campbell, wife of Nat M. Campbell, as she counts workers filing by while sitting at a cash register in what appears to be a lunch room. Employees of the J.A. Jones Construction Company in Brunswick, Georgia worked without pay on Christmas Day, 1944, in support of Allied military personnel serving around the world. Carley Zell furnished free Christmas dinner to all of the workers.||Original photograph scanned by the Brunswick-Glynn County Library.
