Box (Vnten illi. The Newsette Reports Well, folks, two down and one to go! While joy reigned in the hearts and homes of all Centerville, we want to make it clear to our boys in the south Pacific, that V-day was celebrated by most of the local towspeople as a day of work. Most of those who had the day off from their regular jobs put in a hard day in the gardens, while to many it made no difference they reported to work as usual. The expected wild carousels and Davis Graduates Largest Class liquid celebrations might have taken place in some parts of the country, but not in Centerville. Centerville has too many of her fine sons down there fighting the Japs to start any premature celebrations. Until V-- J Day, Centerville will plug along, dedicated to doing her share to help speed that lcoked-fo- r time. Most recent Newsette donors are: John Randall, Edith Tingey, V. F. Harrison, Herbert Haacke, Carl N. Smith, Wm. C. Mann, Lizzie Rigby Egbert, James Tor-rVera S. Smith, H. H.
