GEORGE HAMSTRAS’ RECEIVED EARLY XMAS GIFT

Mr. and Mrs. George Hamstra were spending a quiet evening at their home Wednesday night, December Ist, when a horn sounded outside their door. Mr. Hamstra went out to investigate and found his yard filled with cars and heard a chorus of 30 voices sing out “Happy Christmas.” This should have been surprise enough for one night, but the climax really came when Mr. and Mrs. Hamstra were led to a new Pontiac Deluxe Sedan Coupe, a Christmas gift from their children and grand children. “Imagine,” exclaimed the Hamstras, “A spanking new Pontiac. What a Christmas party. What a present. May the Lord bless them all.”
