In our small community, in just seven months of publishing our town paper, more than one hundred families have put their collective shoulders to the wheel and dug up cash for its support. Donations have ranged from a dime to more than enough to pay for entire issues. Every contribution has been accepted gratefully, and we have been proud to add the names of those individuals and families who have given to our list. Donations from men in the service always our seem to sort of tongue-ti- e feel it we didnt pencil, because proper that they should be called upon or expected to help finance the paper. However, when some, out of their gratitude for receiving the Newsette, have sent in money to help the cause, we havent known how to refuse it. We therefore accepted it in the same spirit in which it was tendered, and renewed our resolve to put forth our very best efforts. Andy Torry just sent a money order for $15.00 which goes a long way toward bringing news to him and his fellow Centerville servicemen and women.
