Christmas spirit: Youthful volunteer helps out Salvation Army

On Saturday afternoon in Hastings, one very young Salvation Army bell ringer was making one very big statement. As shoppers went in and out of Cub Foods between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., they were greeted by 9-year-old Mason Johnson, who made so much noise with his bells that people were telling him they could hear him from across the parking lot.
