Show Zhe Centerville The Centerville First Ward Primary raised $ I 10.00 in its Annual TTE Birthday Penny drive. Vol. 2, No. 4 CENTERVILLE, DAVIS COUNTY, UTAH REIGN AT GOLD AND GREEN March, 1945 YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD Like most people, I find myself trying to visualize our postwar world. I find it very difficult with the promises of so many new inventions, including that of GO million jobs. It seems that we are overlooking the most difficult and complex part of the change. We speak of so many of our boys and girls going to war, but do we realize that they will come back to us as mature men and women, equipped with initiative and ability never before heard of. Never in the worlds history have so many men and women, equipped to meet the worlds problems, been placed in our midst at one time. I am wondering if we are keeping pace with the boys during their growing stage. Day by day our problem becomes heavier. If these men find conditions that will keep them in their stride, then alls well, but if we are not ready for them, then the result may be chaos and disaster. The vast majority of this youth will have grown to manhood without the sheltering care of parents guidance during their early years of maturity, but will no doubt know now what they want and how to get it. When they return we will, of course, pull out the welcome mat, indulge in a lot of back slapping and bring out the fatted calf (if there is such a thing) and make a gala occasion of it. But, I am afraid, that wont fill the bill or pay our debt. Centerville has been blessed by nature in a more than average way and could be made a fine residential suburb of Salt Lake City.- It now appears undoubtedly that at the wars end there will be federal funds in abundance to assist in the construction of projects both useful and lasting. It seems to me that with this probability each community should do its share to help furnish these 60 million jobs we hear so much about. I would suggest inquiry into the possibility of a sewage system, cement sidewalks or some such public works as would make our town a modern and desirable place in which to live and raise a family. I for one would like to have as many of our boys as possible continue to live in Centerville, but we must work to make for them an attractive place in which to locate. Space forbids any lengthy discussion here, but I fully appreciate the chance to express myself through your valuable Newsette here, praying that when the boys come home and all the hellos have been said, that they can turn over the welcome mat and find on the other side the immortal words of This is the Brigham Young, Frank Sheldon. place. - Royalty at this years M.l.A. Gold and Green Ball: Queen Mary Ella Evans, center; Shirley Streeper, left, and Luana Smith, right, attendants. and Green Ball of Centerville First Ward. The hall was artistically decorated in the traditional green and gold streamers and was colorful evidence of the efforts and time spent by the officers of the M.l.A. y During intermission Bishop Duncan crowned Mary Ella Evans as Queen of the Gold and Green Ball. The blonde beauty of the two attendants, Shirley Streeper and Luana Smith, formed a perfect setting for the dark beauty of Queen Mary Ella. Following the crowning of the queen, a floor show was presented by girls of Davis High School. The dance was well attended and in every way was a lovely affair. TOWN BOARD NOTICES WELCOME TO Friday, February 2, was the date and the event was the annual Gold Le-Ro- Theres still time! You can save on your water bill by paying for a year in advance. April 1 is the deadline. With the coming of spring, citizens are requested to resist that urge to pile rubbish, tree prunings, etc., on the town sidewalks. A town ordinance prohibits this practice and public pride frowns on it. 10 The Centerville Grade school collected over 6000 lbs. of scrap paper in the latest drive. Rated second highest in the district. CENTERVILLE Mr. and Mrs. James R. Palmer, formerly of Blanding; Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Rasmussen from Mink Creek, Idaho; and Mr. and Mrs. H.

WARD BANQUET The jolliest of the our was annual Ward year Banquet held on Washingtons birthday. The early birds began coming at six oclock and two full tables were served the delicious dinner of Virginia baked ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, applesauce, cheese, bread and butter, and cake and ice cream. (With apologies to Bill Evans for printing this.) At eight oclock both the south and north rooms were crowded to capacity for the second serving. After the second serving, everyone gathered in the main hall for a musical program. Bishop Duncan gave a few remarks and Clarence Reeves closed with prayer. Wallace Walton, Thomas Williams and Herbert Haacke were the general committee and to them get-togeth- er go many thanks for their hard work. The tables were beautifully decorated and for this we have to thank Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Reading and Mrs. Millie Walton. Mrs. Mary Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Marlin France, Mrs. Sally Leak, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Walton, Mrs. Maxine Tingey, Mrs. Florence Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cook, Herbert Haacke and Thomas Williams prepared the delicious dinner.
