Show CENTERVILLE, DAVIS COUNTY, UTAH Vol. 2, No. 10 So The People (Of The Staff) May Know This is issue number 10 of volume 2. We know we can complete this volume of the News-ett- e in its present size. We do not know, however, whether to begin volume 3 in this size or go back to our smaller original size starting with the December number. You folks have indicated by your generous donations that you want the Newsette published just as long as there are Centerville boys and girls away from home in the service of our country. What we dont know is: do you want it to continue through the years to come - - and, if you do, what should be the size of it and how should it be financed? We strongly feel that your spirit of unselfish giving has been reflected in the Newsette and that, so long as it is printed primarily for the benefit of service men and women, it should be financed as it is now. The completion of volume 3 should see most of our boys and girls back home, however, and then, if the paper is continued, should it be financed by voluntary contributions and go to every home in the town, or should it be sold by subscription and delivered only to those homes who subscribe? We invite your comments during the next few weeks as to size, continuance or discontinuance, method of financing or any ideas you may have. We shall appreciate your suggestions. o Local Chapel Grounds Site Of Sfake Parties The officers and teachers of the South Davis stake Sunday School got together on Thursday, August 9, for a good time. Our own chapel grounds was the gathering place, where everyone grouped around for refreshments and a program. Each ward furnished its own lunch and the stake brought the orange drinks. Centerville showed its loyalty to the Sunday School by turning out in full force and the two Centerville wards tied for first place in attendance. Each won a blackboard and a picture. of the stake The teen-ager- s participated in an outing on August 21, here in Centerville. After enjoying a program, everyone was served as much watermelon as he could eat. SEPTEMBER, 1945 The Editors Colyum Church News We have had our Clean-u- p Days, our Drives on flies, and In Sacrament meeting July 29, Elder Leonard Mitchell gave an interesting talk on the Book of Mormon. Elder A. E. Darley pointed out some experiences of the pioneers and of the many natural resources found in Utah. Domnick Divino, one of our ward members, who received a broken leg in action overseas, gave a splendid talk in Sacra- other various and sundry community activities, and now wed like to suggest one. For the past few years, have been increasingly worried over the spread of wild morning glory, dandelion and white top. There seemed to be no way of getting rid of the noxious weeds short of selling out and moving away from them. But now there seems to be a scientifically discovered ray of hope. We dont know about the white top, but local townsfolk who have used Weedone on their patches of wild morning glory and dandelions are very enthusiastic about the results. If this product really gets em, and it evidently does (read the article about it in your July Readers Digest) then Centerville should start a campaign to rid its soil of these pests. This should be possible if every man owning land in this community would use this weed killer on every sprig of devil gut and every dandelion on his place. We carry no advertising in the Newsette, but we suppose it would do no harm to let it be known that you can purchase this new discovery from our own land-owne- rs Porter-Walto- n Co. . . . ment meeting August 12.

A big crowd brought blankets to sit on or took advantage of the benches, if they didnt care to sit on the grass. The mos- quitoes turned out in full force to keep everyone busy slapping (including the performers), but in spite of this the evening was acclaimed a success. A varied program was emceed by Eugene Ford. A couple of hillbillies from Salt Lake sang in approved hillbilly style. This was followed by a clever reading from Maxine Randall and a violin solo by Cecil Carr, accompanied by Mrs. Timms. Louise Grant, Marian G. Weaver and Shirley M. Randall blended voices for a beautiful trio. Little Karen Hepworth gave a piano solo (including some groovy Readings by Merlin Cornia, from Salt Lake, in her own particular style were much appreciated, especially by the youngsters. Imitations by Claude Kirkland of a stallion, mare and colt had us wondering of he was being aided by a ventriloquist horse nearby. He also gave a song and played his guitar to close the program. After much expectant rattling of spoons, the crowd was served delicious cantaloupes a la mode. boogie-woogie- ). |
