Hi Vietnam
Prom, a recent letter sent
by Major Chris Patte in Viet
nam to his parents, Dr. and
Mr?. Edouard Patte we de
tach the following excerpts:
“The little Vietnamese boy
had bfen waiting for hours at
tile orphanage door. He had
beta posted there by the nuns
a watch for our convoy’s ar
rival. It was the day before
Christmas. Thirty miles north
of Saigon, at the edge of the
Juggle. Temperature 98 de
grees. Finally he had detect
ed a cloud of dpst 500 yards
away and ran to the school.
With wild gestures, since he
watt deaf and dumb, he sig-
haled our arrival and from
the naarby cabins three hun
dred young orphans, all of
thfm deaf-and-dumb also,
beaming and excited rushed
toward opr convoy. Some con

and recorders,’then an armed
tank regdy to protect us from
tile Vieicong snipers. Final
ly there war-h strange car,
like a float, ail made-up with
Christmas wrapping;* papfr
and a huge red ribbon aad
bow. We stopped at the gdte,
placing guards on duty. Then
the party began: there was
ice-cream, goodies; candy and
fruit punch for every child;
I signaled for the float to fn-
ter .the compound, took a lit
tle girl by the hand and had
her pull at the ribbon and
bow. She pulled hard, and
out popped Santa Claus, wityi
red suit, beard . and bonnet.
The children, stunnd at first,
swarmed all over him as they
saw his gifts. Thirty GIs Un
loaded the other trucks and
distributed toys for every
body, and began playing with
the boys and girls. It was an
amazing sight of Christmas
Joy for all: the Vietnamese
children, the American sol
diers and the French nuns*!
And yet the war was on. The
armored tank had been cal
led by radio for an err|ergen-
cy operation two miles “to the
west. In the late afternoon,
we returned to our base, the
Had^uarters of the 701st Bat
talion of the First Division,
leaving at the orphanage hun
dreds of packages, school sup
plies, clothing and enough
money to buy thirty new beds
for the dormitory.” All this
was made possible by the
gifts of Clinton and Florence
friends who thus helped Ma
jor Chris Patte and his men
bring some Christmas cheer
to disinherited Lai Thieu, ra
vaged by a cruel war.

Our engineers have become used to seeing their ideas
show up on other cars. Two years late. And apparently
so hfve a lot of car buyers. Because 1967 Pontiacs are
selling faster than 1966 Pontiacs. And more people
bought Pontiacs in 1966 than ever before.
When you think about it, why should you wait around
for somebody else to corpe up~With innovations like our
. disappearing windshield wipers? Or for imaginative
options like our exclusive hpod-mounted tach?
Especially when you consider that our engineers
wouldn’t turn a Pontiac loose with anything less than a
• standard 400 cubic inch V-8. Or a Tempest with any
thing less than our revolutionary Overhead Cam Six.
(Not to mention all those new safety features like GM’s
new energy absorbing steering column and a dual
master cylinder brake system with warning lamp.)
And as for the Pontiac features^ other carmakers
have already tried to copy—like our split grille, our
stacked headlights, even Wide-Track (is
• nothing sacred?)—why should you settle
for anything less than the real thing?
In short, our engineers seem to have
done it again, they may even start asking
for royalties on the copies.
